Having the code under version control (especially git!) is great, but usually in standards and specifications the code is not canonical, even when it's a reference implementation.

If you're not ready to publish the draft standard in English, that's OK (though it will have to be eventually), at least get the UML fully articulated and into the repository so that we have a canonical reference to frame suggestions and criticism. I've found [ArgoUML] (http://argouml.tigris.org) to be an excellent modelling tool, and it can read and write XMI files which are quite amenable to version control.
