Thanks for the suggestion. I was not aware of that document. Maybe we
should ask tbl if he likes to participate?

Yes, it contains important material, but some of the information really
is outdated. For example about half of the projects mentioned in section
10 are now dead or almost dead (and newer significant projects are not
mentioned). We can learn something from that for the future.

This document was mostly directed to technical geeks. I would like the
new document (or the updated version of the old one) to be less of a
kitchen sink in which dozens of standards are listed without ranking
them. There are important standards and there are less important ones.

It is our task to let people know what is important and what is not that
important - and explain the reasons for that.

Cheers,
Andreas
