Re: epubcheck development and maintenance : draft MOU and SOW for formal aproval

Thanks Luc.

Specific remarks.

MOU
------
- I am not sure what the role of W3C, the groups, committees are from a juridical point of view. The text says it is "Between The Publishing Steering Committee & The DAISY Consortium"
 - The Steering Committee does not have any real standing (consider the separate discussion, too), so I would think it should be between the Business Group and Daisy. 
 - Also, should it say "W3C Business Group & Daisy"? We may have to check this with Wendy Steltzer
 - B.t.w., the 1st line in "Objective" says "Publishing Working Group", which is certainly wrong. It should be the Steering Committee if we keep to what we have now, or the Business group (or W3C Publishing Business Group) depending on my previous remark.
- The text also includes "Publishing Steering Group" (in 3.2) which is definitely wrong, too…

Work Statement
————————

This is something to be checked (and is a minor issue): the text refers to the Nu HTML checker. Isn't it better to refer explicitly to validator.w3.org/nu? <http://validator.w3.org/nu?> The only reason I am saying is that, afaik, the w3c version takes care of incorporating newer W3C issues (like values accepted by ARIA, things like that) then the 'core' Nu HTML one. But this should be checked.
