Note that the Document Shepherd Write-Up
(also known as the "questionnaire") says:

(1.g.) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the
       document satisfies all ID nits?  (See
       http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
       http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/).  Boilerplate checks 
       are not enough; this check needs to be thorough.

Our sense of this in the proto-team (and my experience from tons
of re-reviewing as an AD) is that you'll always look over the
document in a final human skim/read with the checklist in mind.  
This is part of the shepherding.

P.S. The newly revised draft-ietf-proto-wgchair-doc-shepherding-08.txt
adds in the IANA and RFC-Editor-time shepherding and some clarifications
(in response to the IESG Evaluation).  Do send any comments.
