Section 3.3 PWG Proposed Standard and elsewhere:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120225205-30012003>I like
your proposed change of terminology from "PWG Working Draft" to "PWG Working
Material" for the successive versions of a specification that lead up to a Last
Call and a PWG Proposed Standard.. The term "PWG Working Material"
can't be confused with the second stage of a PWG standard: a "PWG
Draft Standard". I assume that any PWG project that also produces other
forms of output in addition to a specification, such as a schema is part of the
PWG Proposed Standard, not a separate Standard, right? Also this means
that any Schema has to have an accompanying specification. No schemas by
themselves.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120225205-30012003>1a.
There are a number of places where the old term "Working Draft" still exists,
including Process Summary and Figure in Section 9.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120225205-30012003>All
occurrences of "Working Draft" need to be changed to "Working
Material".</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120225205-30012003>Ira
and I would like to propose putting some adjective in front of Standard for the
final stage, such as "Final". So instead of having:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120225205-30012003>Then
the term Standard by itself can be used to discuss any of PWG Proposed Standard,
PWG Draft Standard, or PWG Final Standard, rather than being ambiguous as to
whether "Standard" means all three or just the last one.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
