That document is not an official FTSC document.  There is also not a wiki of 
any kind on the official ftsc.org website.  As a matter of fact, Randy Bush's 
copyright on the current revision of FTS-0001 (Rev. 16) only allows for 
distribution of unmodified copies at no charge.  Any revisions needed to this 
standard would have to be done by a total rewrite, unless Randy grants 
permission to use the current version as a base.

Anyone is free to submit proposals to the FTSC in this echo, or via NetMail to 
me.
