Note that, to date, there have been no objections whatsoever to
the notion of having the PWG maintain its own standards.  This is
a good sign, I believe.

What is your thinking here?  I mean, what is the significance
of putting JMP/FIN under ...2699.1 versus having IPP under .3,
etc?  Are you in some way suggesting a set of categories for
the top-level OID (ie, .2699.1, .2699.2, etc)?


This approach sounds good to me; it's just that I'm trying to
figure out your plan here.
