Hello Elliotte,
DIWG has not been able to track down any response to your comment about the comment you raised concerning the need to escape < and > characters in the syntax of DISelect expressions.
Unfortunately, DIWG has no choice in the matter as the syntax requirements of XML make clear. We hope that you may find it possible to agree with the disposition of comments [1] for this item. If so, perhaps you could indicate that by posting to this list?
If we hear nothing for the next couple of weeks we will assume that you are satisfied with the disposition.
Very best wishes, and thanks for your time on this topic
Rhys Lewis
