I agree.

Perhaps W3C should formalize an "interim public review" phase, which is 
a WD that is explicitly put out for review, and goes through many of the 
things that happen at LC -- notifying the reps, a blurb on the status 
pages, etc.  Just don't require the WG to make an official response to 
every issue.
