    I have a suggestion for modifying the "Maturity Level" (section 4.5.1) of
    the current process document.

    As I have been starting to update the older approved PWG documents I
    noticed that the Maturity Level
    is currently not supposed to be included on a Candidate Standard or
    Standard.....although on some
    of the recently approved documents it is.....

    I'm looking for a way to indicate that PWG 5100.4-2001 is obsolete (other
    than a background watermark...).
    when I update the links and front matter.

    Suggestion:

    Change the "Maturity Level" to "Status"...and add "Approved" and "Obsolete"
    or "Obsoleted by...." as kewords to be used
    on Candidate Standards and Standards.

    So the "Status" of a Working Draft or other PWG documents would be
    Initial, Interim, Prototype, and Stable.
    The "Status" of a Candidate Standard/Standard/other approvable documents
    would be Approved, or Obsolete....

    Here's a copy of this applied to the update of PWG5100.1........as well as
    the updated cover matter."
