On the contrary! One of the reasons for leaks is to allow
outsiders to comment on plans before they are committed to.
If a document is officially released, changing it may be politically
sensitive and/or slow. Much more convenient to listen to the
backlash from a leaked draft, deny the plans, fix them and
release the "final" document with the bugs fixed.
This makes commenting on leaked drafts a good idea!
Here in Britain, deliberate leaks seem to be a major part of
government policymaking. With NOACE however, I think we'd be
whistling in the wind.
