John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> brought up certification as a way to
demonstrate credentials of technical writers.
There have been lots of arguments both for and against this idea in the past.
You might want to take a look at what the Editors' Association of Canada is
doing with regards to certification for editors
(http://www.editors.ca/certification/index.htm).
Although editing is a different skill from writing, I think that some of the
issues are the same.
