I think OASIS needs to balance openness with usability. My TC
(ebxml-msg) uses a subversion repository on my personal server for
collaboration on our docbook-based specification. There is a link in
Kavi to a web interface to this repository.
If OASIS wants to prohibit me from doing this, it had better provide me
with a subversion, CVS or perforce repository to work with. Kavi is
not a good development tool. I'm more than happy to use OASIS tools if
they meet my needs.
