General Committee Recommendation for Reorganization
Format #2 (as of 17 May 2007)




Here is the latest version based on comments on list. Have adopted the
format the editorial group used since it separates the structure from
the provision wording. Title changes are marked with *** and are in
green.

There is an earlier structure (Format #1) also on the table which we
have not formally removed so it will be presented as well. But this one
seems to be the one that resonates with most people. If it doesn't
resonate with you - please comment on the list right away.

Both versions can be found on the TEITAC wiki at
http://teitac.org/wiki/Linear_Sortable_Format.
