I do know that once the RFC-Editor asked for review of an
individual document (relevant to my area) a week or so before
an IETF meeting. And as many of you know, we are juyst overloaded
with documents just before an IETF meeting. So I questioned if we
should give priority to such requests for reviewing/checking
individual documents as opposed to focus-ing on the docs to
be dioscussed by the WGs at the IETF meeting. I think we all
agreed that my focus should be on WG documents... and so I 
think RFC-Editor agreed to be a bit flexible with the normal
timeout.
