From an MoU/Management Group perspective, it is not clear what differentiates this from "yet another messaging specification'

I’m more concerned with the intention of the TC and the name of
any eventual specifications than the name of the TC itself. I think Ed asks the
most relevant question here. This TC seems to be more about protocols to exchange
documents rather than about the content of any documents. This needs
clarification.



Martin.

Very funny.   (At least,  I'm assuming this is
intended to be funny.  But I can't really tell, as I'm not a native
speaker of English).

 

You may have noted that some of the co-proposers of this
charter are native speakers of English.   I will check
again,  but as far as I know it was one of them that actually
proposed this abbreviation.   I never questioned the
abbreviation as I only got involved in the discussions when the abbreviation
"BusDox" was already there.  

 

FYI, there is also an OASIS DITA BusDocs SC.  

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-busdocs 

DITA BusDocs means "DITA Enterprise Business Documents
SC"

It looks like the vast majority of the members of this SC are
native speakers of English.  

 

A quick Internet search seems to show that BIZdocs is some
trademark, so it would violate the following TC process rule:

"The name of the TC, such name not to have been previously
used for an OASIS TC and not to include any trademarks or service marks not
owned by OASIS". 

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php

 

I'm tempted to continue but I think I should stop here.

"they will

assume that the work of the group has something to do with buses

and then puzzle unfruitfully over what "dox" could refer
to."



I didn't have any trouble with "dox". I
assume it meant "docks" and that the spec had to do with where to
park buses.
