In general, if a document requires multiple review cycles, I think
it is helpful to have different reviewers.  It's harder (at least for me)
to spot problems when re-reading a document for the third or fourth
time.  There needs to be some coordination between reviewers, but
there's nothing like a fresh pair of eyes to spot unfounded assumptions
in a MIB design.
