==================================================
Abstract of QA Framework: Specification Guidelines
==================================================

The QA Handbook (QAH) is a non-normative handbook about the process and 
operational aspects of certain quality assurance practices of W3C's 
Working Groups, with particular focus on testability and test topics. 
It is intended for Working Group chairs and team contacts. It aims to 
help them to avoid known pitfalls and benefit from experiences gathered 
from the W3C Working Groups themselves. It provides techniques, tools, 
and templates that should facilitate and accelerate their work. This 
document is one of the QA Framework (QAF) family of documents of the 
Quality Assurance (QA) Activity. QAF includes the other in-progress 
specification, Specification Guidelines, plus a handful of test- and 
other QA-related notes, advanced topics, and Wiki page collections.

=======================
Status of This Document
=======================
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its 
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of 
current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical 
report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at

This document is a W3C Working Group Note, made available by the QA 
Working Group of the W3C Quality Assurance (QA) Activity for discussion 
by W3C Members and other interested parties. For more information about 
the QA Activity, please see the QA Activity statement.

This is the third publication of this document, and the first as a 
Working Group Note. Further development and publication is anticipated. 
Interested parties are asked to submit examples of the Guidelines and 
Good Practices, for inclusion in future versions. The development of 
the templates linked from this document will be finished. The QA 
Handbook will continue to be coordinated with the other parts of the QA 
Framework.
