I don't think we want things to go on and on ... but I do think we need
to have a recursive process.  Maybe 3 refinements? Something like the
following:

A WG is setup with a time limit for the first draft RFC.
WG pounds out a RFC (PCR?) and submits it.
WG main list argues^Wdiscusses it.
A new time limit is set for the second refinement.
WG pounds out a refined PCR.
etc.
