Re: Government forms + official documents

Hello Margaret,

On our part, I think we will have something to propose to the community 
within a couple of months. I am not yet keen with the release process so 
I'll let someone from one the community answer. Maybe just supporting a 
LegalDocument type could be a first and faster step.
