All,
Welcome to the Austin Group Futures Discussion reflector!
I've created this list as a collection point and discussion area
for items that are raised for consideration for a future revision.
Austin/112r1 lays down the criteria for qualification of future items:

A key section of that is quoted below:
---start quote---
The recommended criteria for development of new interfaces to enable
them to be considered for inclusion in a future revision are as follows:
1.There must be a written specification that has undergone a formal
consensus based approval process and is suitable for inclusion.
Parties interested in submitting new work items through one of the
three organizations within the Austin Group (The Open Group, IEEE, WG15)
should contact the appropriate Organizational Representative for further
information and advice on how each organization handles new work items.
Submissions from other organizations will also be considered.
Items 2 through 4 below apply to all submissions regardless of
origin.
2.There must be an implementation, preferably a reference implementation.
3.The specification must be "sponsored" by one of three organizations
(The Open Group, IEEE, WG15) within the Austin Group, i.e. they would support
and champion its inclusion.
4.Submitters must provide an outline plan of the editing instructions to
merge the document with the Austin Group specifications, and assistance
to the Austin Group editors as required to complete the merger.
For an example, see

Also folks need to be reminded that we do need permission from
copyright owners to use materials.
I'll post another article shortly to this reflector with a list
of the areas that I am currently looking into as future work areas.
regards
Andrew
