I agree there needs to be communication and co-ordination here, I'm just
not sure the workstation technical specification is the place for that
communication to happen.
What I was guessing would happen would be that the 'product' WGs and the
base WG would have the discussion in some other forum - a mailing list
thread, a different wiki page, whatever - and the requirements formed as
a result of that discussion would be a part of the base WG's
specification, and the product specifications could then reference the
base specification where appropriate.
Someone needs to start the list somewhere. The Base WG hasn't done
anything of this nature at all. The spec can be sent to them for
review, which I believe Jaroslav has volunteered to do.
Otherwise it seems like we'll wind up with something unwieldy
like the
base specification *and* each of the product specifications all
containing the same text (or, worse, different text for the same
requirements), which seems suboptimal.
I agree that's a possibility, but I'd rather _one_ of the WGs start by
trying to be productive and then reaching out instead of having them
all just sit around waiting for each other.
