However, I doubt if anyone will fund a comprehensive test program, pay for the statistically valid number of test subjects, write different versions of the manual to trial which is best, etc. and finish before December (to be in time for the REC), let alone in the next 2 weeks (to be in time for the CR.) > Really, this list (with all it's best > intentions) can solve this problem. (I think typo for "cannot") Yes, but what does that leave for the list to do? Complain unco-operatively in vague generalities? This may be fun (my favourite sport) and we will have plenty of time for that after the spec is out and it is too late. I wouldn't be asking XML-DEV-ers to make concrete suggestions on the prose if there weren't real chances of having them being considered. Rick Jelliffe
