Timing of next rev of the XRI spec

["Dave McAlpin" <Dave.McAlpin@epok.net>]

I’m working on a draft of the next rev of XRI, and I’d _really_ like to make normative references to IRI and 2936bis. If we do this, however, we’ll need to stay in draft form until those specs become RFCs. In practical terms, we’d produce a stable draft, encourage implementation but defer voting on a formal revision until IRI and 2396bis were formalized as RFCs. This is what IRI did (it refers to 2396bis as RFCYYYY) so we have a good precedent, but it also means we’d significantly delay a true revision. I’m interested in the group’s thoughts on this.
