[sc34wg3] One standard or several?

| Do we have to publish the parts sequentially, do we want to have the
| SAM and RM released at different times, with or without the
| accompanying XTM and HyTM parts? 

I think the natural batching is:

 - SAM, with XTM, and possibly HyTM
 - RM
 - Canonicalization
 - Guide

SAM might even be separated from the syntaxes, actually, if we decide
the timing needs to be different.

| Having separate standards avoids the need to co-ordinate releases.

Could you say something more about what the co-ordination requirements
for multipart standards are?
 
| Interestingly enough ISO 13254 and 13255 have not yet been published
| and do not appear to have been assigned to a project. It might be an
| idea to try to book them for use for SAM and RM. 13257, 13258 and
| 13259 also appear to be free at present. Its a pity 13252, 13254 and
| 13255 are published, and 13251 is in the pipeline.

That's quite interesting. Maybe we should make use of that.
