That is correct. We had a F2F meeting of the Publishing Business Group the Monday after the summit in Brussels, and the Group decided at that meeting to rename the prospective Working Group to "Publishing" instead of "Digital Publishing". Sorry for the confusion...

This is part of the same confusion… the charter of the Business Group preceded that decision at the F2F.

The reason of the change is because, potentially, the Publishing work at W3C may also involve issues that are not fully 'digital' like, for example, technologies around traditional publishing backends, on-demand printing, etc. Hence the name "Publishing@W3C" or "Publishing Business Group". The renaming of the Working Group was simply a matter of consistency (although the proposed charter does not go into these non-digital areas for now).

Nothing rudimentary here, these are absolutely valid questions. I hope I could clear it up.
