Brad,
Thanks for the nice summary.

So for right now the Linux USB Programming Guide should say that
Linux USB supports the USB 1.1 spec?
(I didn't use the words "compliant" and "conform" on purpose;
they can be seen to carry too much baggage, but some word other
than "supports" could be used.)

I'm not following your question/suggestion here, Brad.
Could you try to reword it?
Jon Hall at LI did say this back in Feb. (altho I've had a real
difficult time contacting him lately about the Slashdot Beanie
award transfer):

Also, you may be interested that we are going to accept affiated groups into
LI.
Examples of these groups might include USENIX, LSB, etc. Additionally we
would
have Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that would work on special projects.
The
members of these groups will not have to be LI members, just people
interested
in that topic. I am hoping that this will create a focus for commercial
organizations who wish to help Linux to meet Linux developers, and Linux
developers looking for commercial organizations to help their cause. I
could
see "USB" being a SIG.
