At its currently-most-intelligible, it can be found at: http://www.hytime.org/materials/sgmlpropset/index.html It's still not as intelligible as one might like, unfortunately, but it's a hell of lot more human-accessible than the formal code from which it was prepared, which can be found at http://www.hytime.org/materials/hi2pssgm.sgm. > > Indeed, one can tell exactly what was > > explicitly in the document, and what was supplied at parse time.

Are you by chance an invited expert? I am merely a well-wisher, but that's at least as much because I'm focused on other stuff (Topic Maps, for example) as because I wasn't invited. I have huge respect for David Megginson, so I'm very optimistic about the outcome. I gather that there is an open comment period with respect to an Infoset draft (or perhaps a requirements draft) that is either in progress or is about to occur, and I'm frankly frustrated that I can't take the time to pay it the attention that it so richly deserves. I can't imagine anything more vital and fundamental to the longterm future of every aspect of XML than the work of this particular committee. -Steve -- Steven R.
