All three specifications are merely drafts, and they have not been
accepted in any sense. The drafts are put on the cellml.org site simply
because that is the most appropriate place for them to be stored, but
this does not imply that they are in any way endorsed by the CellML team
as a whole.

Any CellML-specific information which could potentially be used by more
than one tool should be stored in a format which is publicly documented,
and so Custom Subset, and any other specifications which people might
propose, should be stored somewhere (although if someone submitted a
draft which conflicted with some other work, e.g. which stored the same
information in an incompatible way, we could put a CellML team note on
the draft, discouraging its use).

Best regards,
Andrew
