Thanks for this explanation. I was aware of the "editors draft" but somehow I felt that they had a lot of historical interest and would have liked to see them easier to find. However if you think it's not worth it, that's an understandable position. What do others (editors) think? Now, if the group agrees upon this, the issue just changes name, and becomes the fact that between (early) may and (late) august there has been no (group) draft for the public to read. I don't recall there is anything mandatory about this, but the "usage" in many groups seems to be a group draft ~ every month (every 4-6 weeks, as you mentioned, is certainly good). Anyway, Lofton, let's work together to "publish" the 20020826 WG draft when you have time. -- Olivier
