I think it’s partly because Experimental and Draft and Final look the same to all but a particularly interested observer. This makes it heavily disadvantageous to publish duplicate XEPs, for example. Also, given the IPR considerations, it would be poor form to accept XEPs (and take the IP) that anyone with an involvement could see would be blocked from progressing. It’s a complicated issue, and it’s not clear to me that we’re being particularly stupid, although clearly there’s room for refinement in anything. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
