we're struggling in the PWG process discussion about ISTO numbers and when and
how they should be assigned in the process. First, we said no ISTO number
until STANDARD. Some feel Candidate Standards should have numbers and we're
considering a hack on the numbering to indicate CS from STANDARD.</FONT>

size=2>You (and others) must have experience with IEEE standards progression
(1284.x). Can you shed some light on the IEEE/ISTO numbering, what level of
maturity they expect when a number is assigned, how we might go about
assigning numbers to CS as well as S?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
