I guess it would be good to explicitly call out (possibly in an
incremental change on top of this one) that the specific enforcement
steps here are examples, and are mainly for cases where a more
mediation/education based approach fails or extreme cases where they're
inappropriate?  Neither the existing document nor the current change
make that explicit (at least to my reading), it's clear from for example
the reports that are sent that the existing practice is to try to use
those approaches first but I'm not sure that people would realise that
from this document alone.
