Subject: Re: Comments on OTA Requirements
Dave, "appropriate bodies" is a generic term used deliberately to avoid answering your question. :) - This comes from work in OTA, where we debated for far too long on the issue of aligning the travel standards to the 9/24 draft of XML Schema, or use DTD. The experience with travel is to avoid early drafts of upcoming work. In this case, W3C is the "appropriate body", where some other body may be appropriate like depending on CPEX drafts for Customer Profile definitions. Scott R.

Today's climate where consortium come and go, it is difficult to understand where people need to draw the line.
