Removing the focus on EPUB...

As was discussed on the other (public) mailing list, there is agreement in the community that the method of packaging the OWP assets is not relevant to the larger set of discussions on requirements or even the actual goal of this IG.   In fact, the document at http://w3c.github.io/epubweb/ is itself quite clear about that in the initial NOTE where it says that name “EPUB+WEB” is just a placeholder. HOWEVER, the document which should (IMO) be looking at the entire landscape of solutions to the problem of “Portable Documents for OWP Content”, immediately picks a solution without any consideration to possible alternatives.

I would like to suggest that the document be edited to remove all references to a specific technology – including the “codename” - and instead focusing on addressing the larger problem.  And, yes, I am willing to do that work with the committee’s blessing.
