But that's exactly my point. Is OASIS *currently* issuing standards? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say submit to the Board for proper disposition ? Given certain recent experiences with completely different bodies, I think that would result in no disposition whatsoever. We can ask for it to be made a Technical Resolution, like http://www.oasis-open.org/html/a401.htm but nothing in the bylaws either countenances TRs or prohibits Standards, so why not go for it? Actually, what's being done with the output of the now-closed Tables TC? That should probably be our guide. I see nothing in the OASIS library. The old SGML version was a TR. regards, Terry
