This is a Working Draft.
This workgroup uses a fairly informal process. However, we feel it is useful to adopt some guidelines as we advance documents from the conceptual stage through to the final stage. This document describes the informal lifecycle that we have adopted.
A Working Draft is an initial version of the document. Anyone can edit it and comment on it. However, edits should attempt to keep the document in a relatively self-consistent state. For example, a change in XML format should be made consistently in all examples.
A Review Draft is an advanced version of the document. Anyone can make minor edits, e.g. for spelling, grammar, formatting, linking. Major edits should be approved by the working group and made by the document's designated editor? or their delegate.
A Final Specification has been approved by the working group and should be placed under strict change control. Only errors should be corrected. Any functional changes should be made in a new version of the specification.
