All this aside, you will note that Ben conveyed your request to the group, and I and others produced a draft of such a document. However, at the time, we were told and believed that we could not produce such a document under the auspices of the W3C because we are not chartered to do so (the existing task force is under the SemWeb and XHTML 2 Activities). That's why the document is in "ApTest" space [1] today. The document is being worked on, it has tests, it has implementations, it will have an implementation report, etc. We have received comments, we have an issue repository [2], and we are working through those issues. I would be pleased to release copyright on this document to the W3C once someone in management there tells me there is a home for it. Until then, ApTest is more than willing to support the activity. Basically, and I am sure you agree with me here Sam, I refuse to let bureaucracy get in the way of progress.
