Wikis are good. However for developing a standard I think that a Wiki  
is not the best. Once a standard is set to e.g. 0.9, 1.1 or 2.1 it  
should remain intact. With a wiki it would be possible to change it  
all the time and standards compliance could be a mess.

Of course if the Wiki would only be used during the development of  
the standard and each release of the standard would be released in  
non-editable format it could work fine.
