In the case of specs that have not yet been published as FPWD, it's not totally clear how to apply the bug process and the escalation process. My own inclination is that if an editor of a pre-FPWD document is willing to follow the bug process, then we should also let people raise issues, but the Chairs will probably not advance these issues through the formal process so long as the underlying document remains unpublished. However, I have not checked this thinking with my fellow co-Chairs, so take this as only a preliminary opinion. Regards, Maciej
