All XML Core WG document editors please note: until a WG draft is published, it should be called an Editor's Draft and the "role" attribute on the document element should be set to "editors-copy" to ensure the correct stylesheet is used. paul -----Original Message----- From: chairs-request@w3.org On Behalf Of Ian B. Jacobs Sent: Thursday, 07 April, 2005 12:32 To: chairs@w3.org Subject: Style for Group-internal Drafts (or, "How to avoid confusion with TR page documents") Chairs, A new resource titled "Style for Group-internal Drafts" [1] is now available (and linked from The Art of Consensus [2]). From the introduction: Many Working Groups publish drafts for internal group review between publications on the TR page; please review the Working Group "Heartbeat" Requirement for information about expectations for regular publishing on the TR page. In the interest of clarity of the W3C process, we request that Working Groups take care that documents are labeled with their true status. Sometimes labels like "W3C Working Draft" are copied from documents that are truly a product of the W3C Working Draft process to documents that are not, or at least not yet. The guidelines below are intended to reduce confusion between group-internal drafts (some of which are Member-only, while others are public) and published documents that have been through additional W3C processes. Documents that follow these guidelines have no formal standing within W3C. If you have already published such internal drafts (sometimes called "Editor's Drafts") and they do not follow these guidelines, please consider revising them. In many cases, this may be as simple as changing a link to a style sheet and changing "Working Draft" to "Internal Draft" or "Editor's Draft"; see the guidelines for more information.
