Thanks, Henry.  Some random comments, several of which 
are mostly just reminders of things left to do:

1.  I'll leave review of Appendix J to others.

2.  The referenced errata document does not yet exist.

3.  The XML has a relative system id to the DTD, but
    the DTD is not there.  Likewise with the stylesheet
    referenced by the stylesheet PI.

4.  The referenced review version does not yet exist.

5.  Though not a fan of appendices with names in them,
    I realize this spec has a history of doing so--though
    I continue to be annoyed by Jon Bosak's insistence
    that only principals of each organization would be
    listed in the original spec, as I was the alternate
    for Arbortext during the entire time and someone like
    Paula Angerstein was Texcel's principal added in the
    last month of the work--and I don't want to suggest
    at this time that we try to excise Appendix G.  But
    if we are going to have Appendix H, then it should
    reflect the membership at the time of publication of
    this edition of the Recommendation which requires
    several changes:

  a.  Leonid Arbouzov is no longer a WG member.
  b.  Norm is now with Mark Logic.
