The rest of this isn't aimed at you, Peter, or anyone in particular. The other side of this, we will need all the personal, public, private and professional support we can get. The SGML community is our natural ally. Another duh, but worth remembering. That is simply political. What is not political are the policy documents out there, that is, the ISO, government, company, etc. that do reference ISO. Where the alliance is strong and not encumbered by weasel wording or other strange and unneccessary considerations, we whose job it is to see that XML is adopted as a preferred delvery format for SGML can do that a lot easier where the references are clear. HyTime/SGML can do us a lot of good. len
