Working Group - Peter and Dieter have now completed their action to create a document discussing the layering issue and what can be done about it. Please review this document and send your comments to the WG list - we'll go with Peter's deadline - please have it reviewed by midnight Feb 20, so we can discuss on Feb 21 and decide whether to submit this as a W3C note of some kind. > > >The *next* step, of course, is to decide on which layering approach to use. Umm, I think the *next* step is to get some people working on some specific proposals - not to have a general discussion of approach, we need to have specific proposals on the table to discuss and move through. >I am delaying throwing out the ceremonial grenade for this next step until >the current document has been at least somewhat assimilated.
