[DDI-SRG] DDI 3.0 Questions - preservation (fwd)

I believe I noted areas of possible enhancement to DDI in the spreadsheet.
If you look down through the chain of emails below you will find the link 
to the PREMIS site

We will be discussing this next week in the TIC meeting focusing on the 
following questions:

1) Is there anything we want to get into the 3.0 version of DDI?
2) Are there things we might want to look at for 3.x versions? This would 
result in the creation of a future working group.
3) Should this be covered in the documentation? If so, what approach 
should be used?
