The specs we need to produce

[David Burdett <david.burdett@commerceone.com>]

The following is a list of candidate specifications for us to produce.

Nick Kassem and I couldn't completely agree so our areas of difference are
highlighted by various editor notes, but rather than resolve differences
(which are small) we agreed to send it out as is. We propose that we discuss
these differences in the F2F next week.

Details follow ...
