Huge?  I'd say mistake, but not necessarily huge.  I mean nobody other
than you (at least in the context of this conversation) had access to
the IEEE1275 proposed binding so it wasn't like there was tons to go on.
I guess all the PowerMAC G5 systems out there and their device trees
were locked up in a highly secure vault somewhere :-)
Apple has done silly things in their device trees before.  I wouldn't
hold them up as an excellent example.

Have patience with the embedded people that are both new to
OpenFirmware and trying to make stuff work at the same time.  I
think the devicetree-discuss list will help here as new bindings are
proposed.  I hope you're subscribed.
Why not ask the people who actually work on the standards?  That's who
I go to when I want to know something about openfirmware issues.
Honestly, I don't know.  And from what I can tell, there _aren't_
people who actively work on the standards anymore.  Mitch is active
elsewhere and could be a great resource but aside from him I have no
idea who to contact.
