One correction regarding yesterday's discussion - I reviewed the  
minutes from the last Roadmap call, (I didn't take the minutes for  
that call so it slipped my mind more easily) and I was completely  
incorrect regarding the placement of the WSRF Profile document in the  
appendix. Hiro's request was, apparently, that we place published  
documents in the appendix.

I think there's some question/complexity regarding the criteria by  
which we place documents referenced in the roadmap into the appendix,  
so I'm going to bring this up for further discussion in tomorrow's  
Roadmap call. Anyone with comments or suggestions regarding the  
placement of published documents should either send them to me via e- 
mail, or of course feel free to join the call tomorrow. For me, I  
guess, the crucial questions are what constitutes a "published  
document" - something that we don't intend to produce a second  
version of? And if we're going to take this route, do we then need to  
completely replicate the structure of the document WRT normative vs  
informational documents and profiles? And if so, at what point does  
the appendix become so unwieldy that it should really just be part of  
the main document? Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

Details regarding tomorrow's call will follow shortly.

Thanks.
