Re: The role of LibreJS and whether to draft a standard

[Svetlana Tkachenko]

Hi Michel Le Bihan

Would you like to write a draft of the standard? Just a copy of 
the librejs documentation about it would probably work well as 
a starting point.

Then we can proofread and send to someone who can make it a standard. 
Would that be the W3C or who do you think would be the best 
organization?
