On several topics recently, advice of the form:

> This is another case where an official query should be sent to X3.

has been posted, in this case by Doug Gwyn.  I agree, an official query
should be sent.  But I for one don't know the procedures involved.
(I dropped my X3J11 Observership when the draft was frozen.)

For starters, are all such queries required to wait until after the
Standard exists?  Will there then be a definite time window during
which they are accepted, and then it would be too late, as with the
public review periods?  Or what?
