The Specification Guidelines is a guide to for writing better specification and includes a checklist to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Additionally a new document, Variability in Specifications is also available, providing supplementary details on topics affecting conformance and interoperability.
The XQuery Testing Team held its first official meeting at NIST and invited QA members, Lynne Rosenthal and Mark Skall (both from NIST, making it easy to attend). The discussion centerned around the new QA Framework documents and their applicability to the XQuery WG and Task Force. Additionally, the group discussed how the Task Force could help the QA WG by sharing their experiences and subsequent lessons learned with the QA WG, so that they could be captured and shared with other Working Groups.
