Tim, while I appreciate the honesty of the question, it frustrates me that 
given your position within XLink, that it has to be asked. We could spend 
several hours this morning digging through the communications between our 
groups -- but should that really be necessary? Steven even flew to France 
to a Face to Face meeting to explain our issues and concerns, and why we 
simply couldn't adopt your end product -- was he talking to the walls there?


Frustrated,

Ann
