I don't think anyone suggested that they would "tell us what to do". 

If you look back at the comments received during previous public
reviews, say with ODF 1.2, you'll see that we received a lot of useful
feedback, including from SC34 members.  Not all stakeholders are on
the TC, so there is value in engaging via the public review process. 

I think there is a big difference between

(1) us saying "This is a specification we would like to propose." and to
get feedback on it and

(2) us saying "We don't like either of these two proposals as they are
but what do you think?"

or perhaps:

(3) These two proposals have thrown up a number of fundamental issues regarding trade-offs in different approaches to change tracking. We are seeking your views on these issues so that we can make a more informed decision on the best way forward.
