I saw there are two versions of the current draft spec:
- https://parchive.github.io/doc/Parity_Volume_Set_Specification_v3.0.html (2022-01-28 ALPHA DRAFT) which would appear to be the main location. It seems to be based on https://github.com/Parchive/parchive.github.io/blob/master/doc/Parity_Volume_Set_Specification_v3.0.md which has the same version number.
- https://github.com/Parchive/par3cmdline/files/8318148/Parity_Volume_Set_Specification_v3.0.md (2022-03-21 ALPHA DRAFT) which is linked from https://github.com/Parchive/par3cmdline/tree/main/linux and which is newer.
The main difference is how protected/unprotected chunks are defined, plus some additional commentary.
I also saw some talk about changing the Galois Field size width from 2 bytes to 1 byte, here: #1 (comment), but it looks like this change was reverted in the later drafts. Was that intentional?
Overall, I would strongly recommend keeping only a single canonical version of the draft in one place to avoid confusion. It should be possible to configure Github Actions to generate the HTML-version automatically from the markdown source to make sure the two are always in sync.
