I like this but I'm under the impression that these are ISTO IEEE numbers
and not sure we can just add the prefix.

Subject: RE: PWG> Document numbering - Candidates vs
Standards
An other alternative is to keep the same number, but have some letter
prefixes, such as CS to mean candidate standard.
Thus the official PWG number for a Candidate Standard versus Standard for
Skywritting would be:
Ex CS-5300.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (Candidate Standard)
STD-5350.1 = Skywriting Print Standard (STANDARD)
For example, I seem to recall that ANSI standards say BSR nnnn for a draft
standard (which stands for Board of Standard Review, as I recall) while
the standard is being voted on.

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?
