Vocabularies issues

[Matthew Graham]

Hi,

You should note some IVOA process here:

# Working Group prepares Working Draft (version ≥1.0) and submits to  
Document Coordinator for posting in the IVOA document collection.
# Working Group reviews the Working Draft. Two reference  
implementations of any associated software are recommended.
# The Chair of the Working Group, with consent of the WG, promotes the  
document to a Proposed Recommendation and submits it to the Document  
Coordinator for posting in the IVOA document collection.
# The Chair of the Working Group issues a formal Request for Comments  
(RFC) to the e-mail distribution list interop at ivoa.net. The RFC and  
all comments must be logged on a TWiki page whose URL is given in the  
RFC. A minimum comment period of 4 weeks must be allowed.
# The Working Group Chair responds to comments on the TWiki page. If  
comments lead to significant changes to the document, the status  
reverts to Working Draft (back to Step 1).

In particular, I'm curious whether we have two reference  
implementations of associated software and if so, what is it and what  
does it do? It's also entirely possible that this is inappropriate for  
this specification.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
