Perhaps we should be clear what would be godo reasons not to make a WD public. Off the top of my head: * it does not incorporate text that the group has agreed to; it's not up to date * it has spelling errors, grammatical errors, or the like * it has formatting issues, doesn't conform to the template * the title, copyright notice, or other boilerplate material is wrong or missing * it fails to give appropriate acknowledgements * it doesn't list open issues that the group would like to alert the outside world to these are all correctable by the editors. "The document has lots of open issues that we never discuss because we prefer to discuss process over substance" is not, alas. :-( On Sep 11, 2013, at 8:55 , "Matthias Schunter (Intel Corporation)" <mts-std@schunter.org> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > thanks for the feedback. > > You are correct, the review /feedback on "the plan" is still open and I am expecting feedback / comments before September 13. > > We are required to regularily (every 3 months) report to the public what we currently discuss as a working draft. > This has been neglected in the past.

There are too many open issues and questions about the process going forward. According to W3C process, publication of a Working Draft is an indication to the world at large that the doc is approaching last call and is ready for broad public review. I don't think we're there yet. I would ask that we hold on doing this until things settle a bit. >> >> Much thanks. >> >> Regards, >> >> David >> > David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
