Re: Last Call: 'Proposed Experiment: Normative Formatin AdditiontoASCII Text' to Experimental RFC (draft-ash-alt-formats)

It's worth distinguishing the search for alternate normative output
formats from the search for a standard input format.

Or are you proposing 2629bis as a standard intermediate format, which
makes both camps (input and output) unhappy?

I think we should pick one somewhat complete solution set and
ride on top of that.  For example, the w3c approach is one wagon
to hitch up to.  After we hitch up to a wagon, we should commission 
a working group to work out any additional details and the rest of 
us agree to live with it if they do a decent job.  

This is not a job for a committee-of-the-whole ... I'd be
perfectly happy to let the IAB or IESG pick a religion and let
a working group define the rules of procedure.  And, again,
piggybacking on the w3c religion seems like a really easy
way out of this never-ending debate.
