I'm sure it is, but will it be understandable by people who want to implement systems using XML? I know many people with many decades experience in the text and computing fields who have grave doubts about getting HyTime understood, whereas the TEI extended pointer notation is a concrete implementation which can be grasped in half an hour. I am by no means dismissing HyTime, but I really, badly want to be convinced that an XML which uses it is going to be comprehensible by the user and the implementor. ///Peter
