diffs between this spec and last spec discussed

https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-kunze-ark-18.txt&url2=draft-kunze-ark-24.txt

Spec to do:

Wikipedia ARK - is this as much Tech WG as Outreach WG?

Planning for feature support (optionality of "/", relaxed limits on NAANs and string lengths)

• soft or loud, internal vs everyone implementing ARKs
• reference implementation could help?
• timing?
