Yes, it's true. I can confirm that Murata-san and myself are working on the unification of TREX and RELAX. The work is currently being carried on within the OASIS TREX TC. You can follow the progress of the work in the archives of the TC mailing list: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/trex/ Under the OASIS process, these are publicly accessible. Any OASIS member is eligible to participate in the work. (Individuals can become OASIS members for $250 a year.) We plan to submit the spec produced by the OASIS TC as a JIS standard, and then as an ISO standard. James
