Subject: Fwd: [virtio] We need fixes to the csd and csprd before we can load them
ACK receipt. I'll look over the thread now and assess, with a goal to providing useful recommendation here. I've not tracked with the conversation to date, but will catch up ASAP here...- Robin

Hi Michael,We have never before (AFAIK) pointed to a directory as one of the "Specification URIs", and particularly not as the "Authoritative" version.I'm copying Robin Cover, who is the OASIS Library architect. We don't want to get into a position where we have to re-architect the OASIS Library to support a publication, or (more likely) retract a publication because it cannot be supported in the long term.I should also say that I have some serious reservations about the approach of declaring the TeX source to be the "Authoritative" version. Simply looking at the practical (publication-related) aspects of listing TeX instead of the PDF (or HTML) as the version as Authoritative, I don't see any gain.I haven't read the TC meeting minutes to see if there was some specific reason for selecting TeX as the "Authoritative" version, but it seems to be causing a lot of pain for very little meaningful gain...The only downside I can see to listing PDF as the authoritative version is that the TC has voted for TeX, and it would likely require another vote to override that, and thus a delay until the next TC meeting.So at this point, I'd like to get Robin's opinion on two points:A - listing a directory instead of a single file as one of the "Specification URIs" on the front pageB - Listing a collection of TeX files and related elements(e.g., as in http://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.0/csd01/tex/) (even as a ZIP file) as "Authoritative".Apologies for introducing a new concern here...Best regards,PaulOn Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 8:30 AM, Michael S.

just pointing at the tex directory as we did?
At the top of that directory people will see README.txt
and if they click that they see the explanation
where to look.
There's also the full zip file with everything
included for people who want it.
Acceptable?
