In the case where you are holding off review until LCWD, it is a goal that you stop doing that, and seek review as pieces of the spec stabiliise. Although under the old process there isn't formally a way to force you to do that (beyond being less tolerant of "we decided it was too late to change" in response to last call comments, which may or may not be a reasonable thing to do).

That's my assumption too.
