I have access to the forth200x web site. If you can provide URLs to the
appropriate documents, I can either arrange for a link from the f2kx

Might it be worth proposing a workshop topic either as part of the
standards proceedings, or as part of the conference itself. We did a
bit of work on this last year, but I'm not sure how far people got with it.
