    Don, we're struggling in the PWG process discussion about ISTO numbers and
    when and how they should be assigned in the process. First, we said no
    ISTO number until STANDARD. Some feel Candidate Standards should have
    numbers and we're considering a hack on the numbering to indicate CS from
    STANDARD.

    Ex 5300.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (Candidate Standard)
       5350.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (STANDARD)

    You (and others) must have experience with IEEE standards progression
    (1284.x). Can you shed some light on the IEEE/ISTO numbering, what level
    of maturity they expect when a number is assigned, how we might go about
    assigning numbers to CS as well as S?
