Specification Required involves the RFC-editor, or possibly another
peer-reviewed journal. I think that this is a much higher bar.
The only category that is mechanical would be First-Come/First-Served.
I don't think that that IETF has a lot of experience with expert review yet.
And, while the expert may ask to see a specification, (not necessary
though), the specification may be proprietary, require NDA, specific-national
security clearance, etc.
So, expert review does not, in my opinion, mean that we get any
specifications to look at. It just avoids silly stuff.

I don't read 2434 as saying that it is that wide open.
You may be correct though.

True.
