Don knows this already, but in case anyone's not aware, Robin Cover
has for years run a similar service for both SGML and XML.  He doesn't
summarize *all* of the debates, but he does include all of the
announcements and summaries of some of the major discussions (like
attributes vs. elements):

When I'm having a busy day and am deleting most mailing-list traffic
without reading it, I usually take five minutes to go to Robin's "SGML
and XML News" page to make certain that I haven't missed anything:

All the best,
