I understand your sentiment, Len. However, shouldn’t there be a better
forum for those developing the standards to discuss this particular behind-the-scenes
detail of what goes on to develop the standards? I do not see how a discussion
of this aspect of the standard process helps the community at large that is
interested only in learning about how to understand and use the technology.<o:p></o:p>

Could we please keep the political jabs off this
list?  I subscribed to read about XML topics. 



Thanks.<o:p></o:p>
