Vocabularies: formal parenthesis

[Tony Linde]

Hi Andrea,

The point I was making is that this is a *private* document and not one
which belongs to the working group. The wg has not decided it wants a
vocabulary document (or anything at all at this point) and if/when it does
so decide, it will first debate the format in which it wants that vocabulary
and then will start work on that document.

If the wg decides that a Note which a person or group has submitted is a
useful starting point for a WD then it can ask that the Note be copied to a
WD document with the appropriate heading changes.

These documents are Notes only and should be written and posted as such. A
WD can only be created when the wg decides that it wants one after suitable
discussion.

Cheers,
Tony.
