Super.

note that all present docs at "oasis standard" maturity-level should get
numbered & re-filenamed. this can be a background process & the TCs could help.

do I recall correctly someone mentioning that there'll be a common repository
for all  "oasis standard" maturity-level docs?

agreed. Each TC should manage their own doc filenames, tho several of us are
suggesting that they adhere to a common defined format (that itself is
expressed in an oasis-wide document (a la
http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt)).
