    Harry,

    Per the discussion today at the SM telecon on PWG process about standards
    numbers and what to do about allocating a PWG number for the Proposed PWG
    XHTML/Print standard as requested by Don for the W3C.

    In order to give Don a PWG number for the XHTML/Print Proposed PWG Standard,
    the next series of numbers not yet used is 5102.n.

    Currently, Proposed PWG standards have the following numbers:

    5100.1, 5100.2, 5100.3, 5100.4 ... for IPP

    5101.1 for the Media Standardized Names

    So how about 5102.1 for XHTML/Print. If there are several documents, 5102.1
    and 5102.2

    ISSUE: How to number future standards? We can decide later how to allocate
    numbers for:

    PWG Semantic Model
    Print Services Interface
    IPPFAX
    PDF/is
    etc.

    Is the 5102 series for document formats, so that PDF/is would go in that
    series?

    Should IPPFAX go in its own series, or should it be in the IPP 5100.n
    series?

    Should PWG Semantic Model be in its own series?

    Should PSI be in its own series?

    Or is there some common theme that would help put some of these in the same
    series.

    ISSUE: Separate isssue is what happens when the Proposed/Candidate Standard
    reaches Standard?

    Does it get a new number or use the same number? If a new number could it
    be some algorithm from its original number, such as adding 50. So 5150.2
    would be the Standard version of Proposed standard 5100.2.

    Tom
