Well, so far there's some, uh, gospel at http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues though why unendorsed personal notes - it's apparently a prerogative of The Personage to place such stuff outside the sub-hierarchy of his personal pages - should be considered so binding or definitive, beats me.

So long as PUBLIC identifiers are a part of the XML spec, not to provide one is an issue of policy, not of specification. While such a policy could be in the W3C's interests, I still see no reason to make any claim about the interests of the Web Community. Arjun
