Any objection will be treated much as if it were a last call comment, and a case-by-case decision made. I think that rather than a culture of ignoring objections or taking a straight vote, the consensus-based culture means every objection must be understood and, if appropriate, dealt with. It's not really a case of lobbying, it's a case of demonstrating a clear technical argument, and the earlier in the process that happens, the easier it is for a working group to address it, usually.
