Why is the Specification being released as ” Version 1.0, Revision 0.9 – draft”?
The TCG is following the usual practice with storage-related standards (such as SCSI and ATA) of releasing a version for wider industry review, before publishing a final version. This version of the Specification is complete, self-contained, and capable of being implemented, and was developed by our broad base of storage industry members. Vendors can begin to engineer products based on the Specification. If a vendor would like to contribute to the final Specification, we encourage that vendor to join TCG and to participate in the Storage Workgroup.
