Am cc'ing ivoadoc-at-ivoa.net (Marco) just in case he is not on the stdproc list.

I agree - we should probably show the documents only in their current category. Also, can we create a view in which all documents in all classes appear together? As it is now, you have to click on each category to find out what's there (at ivoa.net/Documents/).

The mix up on naming conventions is probably my fault, as I was confused by that stuff from the start. Do we think this warrants recycling the standards document back through the process? I would say not. But it will make it necessary to do some cosmetic repair on a couple of the documents already there.
