Dear all,

After the plenary yesterday, the observer from Systemwire suggested that any
DSDL functionality for multi-document validation might conflict with
Systemwire's patent in this area.

see http://www.systemwire.com/xlinkit/validator.html for the product

IANAL, but it seems to be hyperlink generation is an essential feature of
their claim (though I can't find the patent online).

Rick - I know you've looked into this, what's your conclusion?

I suppose we may need look into this more thoroughly ...

- Alex.
