Standards numbering nomenclatureText to go in the Assessment and Roadmap document The numbering nomenclature of the working drafts of IVOA standards in preparation is not homogeneous across WGs and makes it quite confusing for people not used to it. Although there are already some numbering scheme envisaged (http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/Notes/DocStd/Procedures-20040425.html#WorkingDrafts), it would be useful to have a numbering nomenclature which clearly and immediately shows that a certain IVOA standard is a REC or in a WD.
