OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) TC

Hi everyone, I noticed that if I do a Google search for "DITA 1.2" without quotes, the third result is "wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_Specification_1.2_Requirements" and the title of this page is "DITA_Specification_1.2_Requirements - Dita Wiki." It is good for the working documents of TCs to be open for inspection, but they aren't intended to be useful for the typical person who is interested in DITA, and we don't always maintain our wiki pages to keep them up-to-date and free of errors. What do you think of the following ideas: 1) Ask OASIS to set the robots.txt file to indicate that wiki.oasis-open.org/dita pages should not appear in search results. 2) Rename "Dita Wiki" to "DITA Technical Committee Wiki" to be more descriptive and distinguish it from the other DITA wikis out there.
