Thank you, Marcus, Henry, Michael! But the idea of XPath appears to me so coherent that I find it difficult to believe that it emerged in a process which has to do with votings and can be captured by minutes. I would really like to get closer to the core of it.

John Steinbeck, East of Eden:

"Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man."

I based the historical information in my book on minutes of meetings, and Sharon always used to tell me I got it all wrong. Presumably because the minutes were not (in her perception) an accurate account of what really happened in the corridors.

I'm reminded of a nice remark in Martin Campbell-Kelly's excellent corporate history of ICL, that much of the information came from board minutes, and therefore at best, it didn't reflect what was actually going on in the company, but rather, what the board of directors thought was going on.
