13		Delegate The Task of Developing a Standard Legal Format to NIST
		NIST is well-equipped to develop a simple, standard format that the federal and state governments could use to help increase transparency in government.
3		Don't just standardize the format, but also the tools and process for changing and creating legislation (put it in version control so that every line change is tracked to one contributor).
