Wonderful ... then I will post the ZIP in tomorrow's weekly
correspondence letter (my Monday morning).

Ah, thank you for the clarification. I hope we'll find time to
discuss this as the amendment develops, so that perhaps we'll have
the chance to test new functionality with the document itself.

Thank you for clarifying the situation so we know what we'll see.

Not at all ... I would see such a revision merely as feedback to the
documents posted tomorrow.

Indeed it will take some effort. Thankfully there is a vested
interest by the WG convenors and myself to find a consistent model we
can all use to make our lives easier. I'm sure you will find a lot
of assistance.

Can you think of other kinds of standards documents that would not
(yet) be covered by the work underway? It would be good for us all
to see what is and is not yet addressed by this work.

Note I will also add the files you send to me to the files in the
committee sandbox so that all the files are available in one download.

Thanks again, Makoto!
