This is a good point.

If we seek public comment, and generate comments on the comment list 
that we could have had in the WG, they require more admin overhead.

If we seek public comment, and don't get any comments, then the 
discussion is largely moot

The point of earlier WDs is two-fold:

a) to generate comments which would not come from the WG, because the WG 
is only a narrow cross-section of the population

b) to help the world know what direction we are going in

Documents which contain too much non-consensus material do not help 
either of these.
