He... A good point. We actually have made a change that's supposed to help here. The non-WG mailing list requests that we send to the secretariat used to have a "short description" line, which would almost never be enough information. We added a second "somewhat longer description" line for the announcement. What you see above is the result of that, and you can be thankful that it's at least useful once you get the acronyms expanded. So what we have to do now is have the discipline to expand the acronyms. Thanks for calling attention to that, and for the... interesting guess at a possible expansion. Barry
