HOWEVER, making statements do not work this way in reality. Usually, the final draft will be sent, asking for any "strong" descents, otherwise it is adopted by silent majority. BUT, if it is sent to "public list", there is a risk of not making the final closure in time, or there is some vague procedure issue still remain. I don't know how to address this in a perfect way.
The way these things get usually done is that the chair declares consensus based on the strength of objections. If strong objections remain, a minority opinion is included in the document. That's not rocket science, and it's not a new invention, either. (This discussion is *so* 2003...)
I know it still can be done, but having dobule track, one in public and one for internal wordsmith, is not that bad way, to me.
I see some risks and no real benefit. -- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>
