I'm not saying I have objections (not having seen the article), but I'm questioning the implicit assumption that things can be put on dita.xml.org that wouldn't be appropriate for posting on an OASIS site. On the DITA TC's home page, it says: The [DITA] Adoption TC includes an Editorial Board that maintains the DITA XML.org Focus Area. and the home page at http://dita.xml.org/ has a prominent banner saying "Hosted by OASIS" and the site says: DITA XML.org is the official community gathering place and information resource for the DITA OASIS Standard. [Note "official".] And the DITA Adoption TC posts its feature articles on dita.xml.org. I would expect most observers to believe that dita.xml.org is as "official" as anything else in OASIS, so I think we have to be as cautious about saying that dita.xml.org is "outside of OASIS". paul
