Re: ID-nits is not easy to find



At the risk of being pedantic: "submitting a document to the IESG" is
not the same thing as "how to write a document properly in the first
place", particularly since, in most cases, the author and the WG chair
are not the same person.

Yes, of course the WG chair can and should whack the doc author if the
document's a mess when it comes time to submit the doc to the IESG,
but perhaps it'd be better to write the doc right in the first place?

"Instructions to document authors" would be the right general
ballpark.

Bottom line: the current stance, as reflected by where the links are
hiding and how they're labeled, is obscure and reactive, and I'm
attempting to suggest that obvious and proactive might be better.
