Re: [Serial] Normalization and References (qt-2004Nov0037-01)

Hi Bjoern

Since we did not hear back from you for so long, this comment is 
considered closed.   Since then, we had a second last call period where we 
used the bugzilla tool to raise and track comments.  Regarding your 
dissatisfaction in #2, I created a new bug report 
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1829 to track this issue. As 
for #3, the XLink reference has been removed due to another comment. 
Please review the resolution in bug 1327 and 1524.  If you find this 
resolution unsatisfactory, please post a comment in bug 1327 within one 
week.  Thank-you.
