The template idea is great, but it will mostly be the WG
that "enforces" it -- from what I've heard so far, much of
it won't apply to non-OGSA-WG documents.

There are definitely some items that will apply much
more broadly....for example, the discussion about how
to allude to the trademark, and when to spell out OGSA
versus using the acronym.

These types of items would be great for another document, even a
casual "howto" for the Editor tracker area rather than a
formal document.  This is something I could link in
(here: https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/ggf-editor) &
update as needed.

You're talking about this document, right?

	A Roadmap for the Open Grid Services Architecture (v1.0)
	https://forge.gridforum.org/tracker/?aid=1548

The Public Comment tracker is here:
	https://forge.gridforum.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=540

I'm sorry, but I didn't see a note from you in either tracker.  I must
be missing something.

There are responses from Jem in the Public Comment tracker, and my
understanding is that we're awaiting a couple of other sections before
moving this to the next step.  If the changes are substantial, we
might want to run it through another public comment period.
