The survey is biased, because it is asking individuals without
context to compare the utility of an initial draft of a document,
against one document that has been under preparation for years,
and implies that only the former would be produced rather than
both.

If you were going to do a survey, you might ask something like:

"Would you like the opportunity to review the utility of a
having a mark up spec (initial draft http://shrinkster.com/13zy )
as a separate document from a fullblown specification 
such as  http://shrinkster.com/13zz.
