Reading the proposals and the discussion on them today I felt that things were coming together well. Although there is a spectrum of opinion there seem to be no major ideological gulfs. I think Simon is doing a great job of pulling this together - it's very challenging because there are issues we haven't really discussed before. As always it's a dichotomy between simplicity and functionality. My personal touchstone would be that - at present - a newcomer to XML who has read the XML 1.0 spec and the namespace spec would have a reasonable chance of understanding our proposal. The closer that we map onto them, the easier it will be. Personally I am very happy with the general tenor of the drafts that have been offered. Have I got the process right, Simon - two (or more) drafts will be published and then you will ask questions which may use material from the drafts. E.g. "do you want NOTATIONs? - see draft 1 for example" - "do you want AttributeTypes as attributes? (e.g. draft 1) or as content? (draft 2)". P.
