[occi-wg] Editorial tool

[Edmonds, AndrewX]

 - Text might be painful given we need to construct tables, markdown doesn't help out here.
 - I like the idea of google docs; revision history, accessible, no merge issues, collaborative
 - Latex, great for those who value & know it, PITA for those who've to learn it.

Google docs is another option I guess, although you cannot use the
GF accounts that way.

Best, Andre.
