The biggest obstacle to getting a roadmap/schedule has been that we have 
very little feedback from implementors on when they expect to feel that 
they have tested the implementations in practice enough to give feedback 
on the documents.

The most critical part is getting the experience of how non-EAI users 
(and their software) react to downgraded messages.

I'm very unwilling to put up a schedule just to have a schedule - 
experience shows that this easily gets into the mode where the chair 
pushes the writers, who then write whatever is needed to get the work 
done, no matter what the "right" result should be.

We need more mail from our implementation teams.
