Re: DWBP - Best Practices - Review

I'm sure you're right, Laufer, in saying that there are whole areas that 
we have not covered. If we extended the WG by 2 years and worked on 
them, we might just cover those - and I dare say we'd find that there 
were yet more areas that we haven't covered too.

In other words, it could be an endless loop.

We have (at least) two other ways to break the cycle.

There's a wish list on the wiki 
https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/wiki/Main_Page#Wish_List - anyone can add 
to that at any time.

We could also include a short section in the doc called Further Work, 
making it clear that we know we haven't covered everything. You, Laufer, 
have begun such a list - good - I don't think we need be shy about 
saying there's stuff we haven't covered.

Fancy taking a shot at writing that section for the editors to consider?

Phil.
