Jim, Bill Rinehuls and I are a bit confused by your message.  The real time 
document was processed as an amendment.  According to the JTC1 Directives:
	"At the publication stage, the ITTF shall decide, in consultation
	with the Secretariat of JTC1 or SC, and bearing in mind both the
	financial consequences to the organization and the interests of
	users of the IS, whether to publish an amendment or a new edition
	of the IS, incorporating the amendment.
	[Note: Where it is foreseen that there will be frequent additions 
	to the provisions of an IS, the possibliity should be borne in 
	mind at the outset of developing these additions as a series of 
	parts.]"

It seems to me, therefore, that we could recommend a merged edition but 
the decision is up to the ITTF.  Is there some agreement between ITTF and 
IEEE that would modify that?  Has this subject been discussed yet with 
ITTF?

Also, as you probably are aware, Bill has not yet received any final text
document for forwarding for this project, merged or otherwise. 

Regards,
Bob
