Since JTC1 appear to have only announced their new guidelines a month before they are due to come into effect there would be near to universal revolt, I imagine, if any attempt was made to force this on anyone. As I understand it, and I only received Bill Rhinehuls' message shortly before most of you (since I got it on the SC22 mailing list, as did Jeanne - who then reposted it to WG5), there is no compulsion anyway to submit any documents in electronic form (and the current Directives, I believe, still state that any electronic copy of DISs should be in SGML - which directly contradicts this statement). As far as we are concerned, I don't think that we ever anticipated submitting a FRAME file to ITTF, but that we would use it for internal purposes to actually produce the document. I see no reason to change - and every reason not to. I shall endeavour to find out more before Tokyo.
