Thanks. Looks good.

Are there any existing house-style/patterns/procedures in OASIS on any of
these ? Especially document formats, feedback/comment cycle, errata
maintenance - not that we want to be bound by something that doesn't fit our
case, but to avoid needless variation or wheel-invention.

On document formats - The existing (finalised) OASIS standards that are
simple documents (as opposed to collections of dtd's, etc) are on the
website in html and xml (some using the docbook dtd).

On errata - The DocBook technical committee continues to maintain the
DocBook DTD.
