And that feedback should be documented, formally. Just to clarify your suggestion, the editor would still be the one who decides how to respond to bugs filed in the W3C Bugzilla, right? So rather than just committing a change, he would have to create a change request in the W3C Bugzilla, post a response there accepting the request, and then commit the change? I'm not clear on what practical benefit this offers to anyone. It also isn't the practice in any other W3C Working Group I'm aware of. Editors normally have the right to change Editor's Drafts unilaterally, which is why they're called Editor's Drafts -- endorsed only by the editor, not necessarily the working group or the W3C.
