Re: [wsrm] Possible Teleconf Vote for CD version.9 on Dec 2

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

     Just to elaborate, our usual rule is that only approved committee 
drafts can be demo'ed at official consortium events.  It's not uncommon for 
TCs to vote to approve penultimate, or near-final, works, with the 
understanding that it's a beta worthy of wider testing, though not the 
final product.  A number (as Tom said, "0.8" or "0.99", etc.) can be used 
to indicate that it's not yet the version intended for final public review 
and widesperad toolbuilding.
