The resolution of comments is 100% traceable via the comment list, JIRA,
revision marks in the posted drafts and in CD votes recorded in the
meeting minutes. I don't see there being a question on traceability. The
question is how we batch the work, namely whether we have individual votes
on each of 100's of comments, or whether we allow the spec editors (whom
the TC has nominated and approved as editors) to handle uncontroversial
comments and then have the TC approve the work via CD drafts.
