well (especially if the document is under source control and you can
just send a patch).

This goes beyond the simple-but-expensive matter of having the work done by the RFC Editor.

With every opportunity, we should move work to the people who want its result.

IETF work that is successful has community support. The community wants it and demonstrates this by working on it. That can (and I think should) include ensuring basic writing quality.

If the community does not have enough interest in the work to write it well, it has bigger problems that won't be remedied by more RFC Editor effort...
