Strictly speaking, I believe the only requirement for a document to be published as a WG document is that a WG chair approves it. I do agree/think there are many practical restrictions, notably charter & WG support. WRT to the I-D: the text in section 2.4 that says "the chairs need to..." can mislead some to believe that this is the required process. I think the "the chairs typically..." would be more accurate.
