Ditto here, but perhaps another way to answer this or to accommodate people
who feel special focus should be given to document fidelity (in many cases I
can sympathize with these concerns) is not opening a mailing list, but
encouraging them to contribute patches, bug reports and bug fixes or, at the
OASIS consortium level, to join the standards development work. A mailing
list would be just that, one more place to talk, and I think we have enough
mailing lists for the moment...

best,
Charles.
