General discussion on the drafts can be done in the 
www-ql@[...].org mailing list
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ql/ ).

Comments and feedback on the drafts solely addressed to the working
groups should instead be sent at public-qt-comments@[...].org 
(archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-query-comments/ ). 
Note you can't subscribe to this list, as it's just used one-way to
send comments and issues (so, it is not a discussion forum, you can
use www-ql@[...].org for that).

Latest versions always available from the XML Query page
(http://www.w3.org/XML/Query ), 
also containing an explanation of the above mailing lists.
