1. The term "Royalty-Free" should be removed from the title. 2. There should be provision for an early working draft to be the basis for exclusions. It seems to me that Requirements is really early and Last Call is pretty late. A solution of something with a different timing scheme, like "6 months after first WD publication" or a specialized WD "The Patent Declaration WD" aka "First Call" or "The 3rd WD should be a Patent Disclosure timing event". I would set a time-out of a year after the formation of the WG for the specified working draft. And the WG should decide which version is complete enough for IP reasons. This, backed with the timeout, gives sufficient process to ensure that a reasonably complete and timely spec would be usable. Cheers, Dave Orchard BEA Systems
