Subject: Re: [xslt-conformance] Need your opinion (if any) aboutpublicavailability of submitted tests, pre-review


Er, please consult 
http://oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.shtml, in particular
OASIS.IPR.2, where it states categorically 

"No contribution that is subject to any requirement of confidentiality or any 
restriction on its dissemination may be considered in any part of the OASIS 
Standards Process, and there must be no assumption of any confidentiality 
obligation with respect to any such contribution. No submission should be made 
on the basis of an assumed confidentiality obligation or restriction on dissolution."

I believe that what's being considered here is in direct contradiction to
that.
