The silence is deafening on this thread!  Ignore my first sentence, but
ownership and making some progress on EDD3 would be wonderful.

On another note, does anyone know the status of EDD2 (D1484r3)?  Is this
thing still a draft, or is it now a standard?  If the former the
document should be modified to reflect it as a draft. Otherwise if the
latter, the web site should reflect that it is a standard and where it
is available from.

Dan (Colegrove), did you notice that www.t13.org site under "Projects"
has an incorrect link for the 1572D draft (actually points to an early
draft of EDD2) whereas the "Project Drafts" link is correct.  This could
be confusing some folks, so could we get this fixed? 

Thanks, MKE.

I'm a little confused over which EDD document is which on the T13 web
site.  D1448r3 (BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services -2 (EDD-2))  seems to
actually be the EDD-3 draft, whereas D1386r5a (Enhanced Disk Drive
Services 3.0 revision 5a) seems to actually be the EDD-2 spec.  Are the
names backwards on the t13 web site?

Several folks would like to see progress on EDD-3, but I'm not sure who
is the actual owner of this project is.  Who is the owner of record, and
what are their plans to make progress on EDD-3?

Additionally, the fibre channel device path definition includes a QWORD
for the "64-bit Worldwide Identifier" field, but the bitmap of this
field is neither specified in the document nor is a reference present to
point folks to where it is defined.  Would it be appropriate to add a
T10 document reference in the EDD-3 spec, or better to add the bitmap
definition directly into EDD-3?

Thanks,
