Re: W3C Content Transformation Guidelines - Last Call - comments welcome

Hi Ed,

Thank you very much for your feedback on the Content Transformation 
Guidelines document!

I added your comments to our tracking system. It may take a bit of time 
before we get back to you with motivated answers, requests for 
clarification, or proposed changes based on your comments, but we will 
address them as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Francois.
