Mostly for Somnath et al.: As discussed in the group call today, that is 
just a question of manpower. At
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Main_Page#Draft_documents_and_time_line
we have linked to potential "best practices documents, see
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/Best_Practice_Documents
Sure we can add a NIF document here. We just need a volunteer to write 
it. So Somnath, if that is of interest for you, let us know. It might 
also make sense to involve Sebastian Hellmann - putting him here in CC.

Best,

Felix
