[802SEC] Proposed Operations Manual v17?

[Roger Marks <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

James,

I'm a little confused about the status of the Operations Manual (OM). I 
think that's because the documentation on the web site is confusing.

On the one hand, the current version, per 
<http://www.ieee802.org/devdocs.shtml>, is v16. The page footers of that 
doc read:
    IEEE 802 LMSC Operations Manual, v16 Revised November 7, 2014
The title page says "As approved 7 November 2014, Last edited 7 November 
2014"

The P&P Development page <http://www.ieee802.org/PNP-development.shtml> 
includes links to "Proposed Operations Manual v17". In that doc, the 
page footers read:
    IEEE 802 LMSC Operations Manual, v16 Revised March 13, 2015
and the title page says "As approved 7 November 2014, Last edited 7 
November 2014"

I think it's OK to post a "Proposed Operations Manual", but I think it 
needs to be carefully labeled, inside the document, as an unapproved 
draft. It should not carry an approval date, and it should not display 
the same revision number as an approved version.

Can you confirm that my observations are factually correct? If so, is 
the labeling intentional or just a result of a missed editorial correction?

Thanks for checking.

Roger
