(Unfortunately, as of right now I have ever-more-limited time for
further updates to the writeup and the discussion it entails. But I'm
very happy for someone else to pick up the next round of editing if the
chairs community wants to change the proposal. Any takers? I can send
you the DocBook source...)
The current proposal has charter / draft / cs / oasis. If we're opening
this up again, and especially if we're reopening the lowercase thing,
that's a lot of variables. For just the third position in that list
alone, there's cs, CS, spec, Spec, cttespec, CtteSpec, tcspec, TCspec,
TCSpec, ...
But I believe that we already had consensus around "cs" (seeing as the
proposal went out in its supposedly-final form on 25 Feb, having been
reviewed starting on 11 Feb), so rather than asking if people can't live
with "TC Spec" (which has a space and so isn't quite in the right
formulation yet), I think it's more appropriate to ask if people can't
live with "cs".
