You don't need any permission to criticize mails sent to the public. However, I'm afraid your criticism will be severely against the purpose of the list to be abuse of the list. If so, don't do that. Or, if you want to revise rfc3005, first thing to do is to write a draft and let people discuss on it. Then, you may be able to understand the importance of saying "read the draft".
but I do want to reassure you (and everyone else) that the "style of communication" in question was not in relation to quoting exerpts from a document and asking someone to go read the document, who has not already done so.
I'm afraid you misunderstand what "read the draft" means. But, as you are saying that if someone says he is familiar with a paper, I can expect he has already read the paper, I'm almost fine. Masataka Ohta
