A happy day for me :-)  Schematron is now slated to finally become an ISO
Standard in March.

The text for the Final Draft Internation Standard for Schematron has now
been approved by multi-national voting. It is copyright ISO, but it is
basically identical to the draft at www.schematron.com

The standard is 30 pages. 21 are normative, including schema listings and
a characterization of Schematron semantics in predicate logic. Appendixes
show how to use other query language bindings (than XSLT1), how to use
Schematron as a vocabulary, how to express multi-lingual dignostics, and a
simple description of the design requirements for ISO Schematron.

Special, and terribly heartfelt, thanks to Ken Holman (Canada) and Martin
Bryan (UK) for pressing on despite my incapacitation.

Cheers
Rick Jelliffe
