Normally Eclipse won't accept contributions from any entity which has
not signed the document be they corporate or individual, a perfectly
understandable stance given they usually wrangle competing corporate
entities.  But since my post Dan assures us that won't be the case for
the Asciidoc specification, and evidence of that will be provided in
writing (well a web page) "soon".

To be clear I am not against the Eclipse foundation per se, but I am
not a Javaist and all I know about Eclipse foundation is the IDE and
whats written on their website so anything not documented there
doesn't exist.

And I do agree with Dan that having an independent organisation with
some clout to hold things like trademarks, copyrights and the
asciidoc.org domain is a good thing.
