That sounds like a good plan.

> Recommendation, how long before it becomes a Proposed Recommendation?
>>> Hello,
>> The W3C version of XHTML-Print [1] will be published as a
> Candidate Recommendation early in January.
>> The W3C requires 2 interoperable implementations and a test
> suite to validate conformance.
>> The question I tried to answer in today's HTML WG phone
> conference is how long to wait for 2 conforming
> implementations. The way the W3C works is the spec cannot
> become a Proposed Rec before the wait period elapses.
>> I think it is better to shorten the transition period as much
> as feasible to give stability to the spec. But if it is too
> short, company's would not have time to implement and be
> comfortable announcing a product.
>>> The consensus was a minimum period of six months with the
> conformance test suite as soon as possible.
>> Does anyone or any company care to comment on this?
