Right? My position is that Working Drafts prior to Last Call do not need to have consensus, do not need to be stable, and do not need to meet Working Group requirements. Starting with Last Call, it is an entirely different ball game. If either or both of removing things or adding things is required for consensus, no drafts will go forward as candidates for Last Call until those changes are done. Ian's working assumption is that his document will be ready for Last Call in October. > ....Roy - Sam Ruby
