If the registration request has been changed, then I agree with you 
(while noting that we have not always done this).  If there has been no 
change, then I feel there should be no need to confirm the request after 
the review period elapses, but before sending material to IANA.

We should definitely take this up as part of the RFC 4646bis effort.
