[ubl-ndrsc] Perhaps a good idea for our work outputs

["Eve L. Maler" <eve.maler@sun.com>]

OASIS doesn't impose any standards on document publishing (other than on 
the inclusion of various IPR notices), so the SAML TC developed their 
own.  Now that we're going to produce files at a prodigious rate, we may 
want to adopt some of them:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/docs/draft-sstc-doc-guidelines-02.txt

I thought of this when I mentioned the file naming convention I used for 
putting Mark's document in our area.  Following Section 5.2 in these 
guidelines does result in some really long names, but they will make our 
drafts area tidy and make it easy for anyone to see at a glance what's what.

The requirements on metadata (Section 5.4) are good too.  I definitely 
recommend these.

The whole publishing mechanism described is slightly too heavyweight for 
us, but I'm happy to be the "publisher", which means I would get the 
filenames into sync.

Opinions?
