AFAIK the IESG can still approve a "document action" without prior
IETF Last Call (= IETF review) for informational and experimental
RFCs, that was a stunt openSPF proponents weren't aware of when it
happened with four controversial letters in RFC 4406 vs. RFC 4408.  

http://www.ietf.org/IESG/STATEMENTS/iesg-statement-01-15-2007.txt
is "for selected draft Informational and Experimental documents".

How about adding this to a "known traps and pitfalls" page in the
IESG wiki, my crystal ball says that there will be a case when an
IESG forgets to "select" an I-D running into a "gotcha" appeal ;-)
