Seconded (thirded?)
Also - I don't care if the current draft is called a working draft or an internal draft or what, but we shouldn't get hung up on the IVOA process. As with any document, the authors (and extended team and editors) revise, revise, revise. We're already well along in that process. At some point we take the document public and continue to revise. Eventually the final revision is reached and shortly thereafter publication occurs.
I'm quite confident predicting that publication will occur in a timely fashion. In the mean time, lets just knead the standard into shape while minimizing the overhead of satisfying external milestones.
