Agreed.  What was gutted was the non-architectural content.
As I said, "it needs more fleshing out with new content to be complete"

Is there a pointer for the OASIS work?

Agreed, pictures are essential to communicating architectural ideas.
I was planning to add pictures and flesh out the document if people responded 
positively to the idea of reworking the current document into an architectural 
document.

How about it Lisa?

I'll read this as a positive expression that we should do something. :)

I am concerned that there might be a perception that all the current document 
needs is a few minor edits.  I think that we need a deep reworking of the 
document to turn it into a real TA doc.

Thanks!
All of us in Whoville are ready to go.  :)
