To turn this discussion into something potentially useful; do you
think a 2822bis (822tres?) should discuss X-* or not? If so, what do
you think it should say?
If 2822 is revised I think it should only contain minor clarifications
of the existing material. The effort to revise 2822 should avoid
opening up new cans of worms.
I agree. Do you also, like me, consider 822 existing material? 822
discuss X-*, and I think that clarifying its role in a 2822 revision
would be useful.
The notion that people should use X-* for experiments (be them
implementation experiments or specification experiments) is quite wide
spread. Changing that notion, when there is an opportunity, seems
like a good thing.
Thanks,
