Shivaun,
I still think it will be slow going to get it through the W3C.
How about first doing it as a PWG document and then offer it to the W3C.
Seems like a good compromise to me. That way we would have a published
document, while we are waiting for the W3C to get through their process.
Do others agree?

I would like to propose that the owners of the document get together to
discuss this issue outlining the pros and cons of the different options and
return to their respective groups with a recommendation.
It's HP's current thinking that the W3C would be a better venue for this
document. The W3C would seem the logical place since most, if not all, of
the technology in X-HTML Print has been developed in the W3C group (e.g.,
XHTML 1.0, XML, CSS). A strong motive in choosing the W3C approach would be
to promote better integration of printing with web-based technologies. One
suggested path might be to submit X-HTML Print version 1.0 as a "note" to
the W3C. This provides a long-term, vendor-neutral web site for the
document. Subsequent to this, we could start a print-focused working group
to address some of the issues we find with using XHTML for printing and
ensure this information is fed to the other W3C groups (e.g., CSS).
Regards,
Shivaun
