I'm sure it is an English/American thing, but "When these buffers fill"
means to me "When these buffers have become full" and I don't think you
are talking about buffer depletion. So maybe you should say "When a 
large number of packets are queued."

A similar language issue arises in...

  (1) minimize standing queues, helping to reduce delay for
      interactive applications

...where I think it is the queue *length* (measured in packets or
bytes?) that you want to minimise, not the number of queues.

I assume "potentially policing of flows" is about throttling users/abusers, but I think that it does require significant attention not just from the wg but also from the wider community.  I'm loathe to add in the "we'll coordinate with x, y, and z wgs" here because I think noting it here is enough and because I trust sponsoring AD to get 'er done!

When these buffers fill, interactive
applications and other traffic can be severely impacted or
completely broken, due to high and potentially oscillating delays.

I think you mean 

"When these buffers start to fill"

Of course when they actually fill you get packet drop which introduces
a different class of error than that induced by late packets.
