The XML Core WG discussed the question today. What follows is unofficial, just what I think I heard there. I urged the WG to take up the question of writing down such a strategy, on the grounds that people want it, someone should do it (just once), and the Core WG has the necessary expertise. Our staff contact said that in his view a rechartering would be required to perform such work, as it is independent of the XML language as such, XML being merely the output of the process. I agreed, but further urged that we seek such rechartering. The question will be talked about further at later Core WG meetings. I agree with Shelley that the HTML WG shouldn't hold its breath on this one. -- You let them out again, Old Man Willow! John Cowan What you be a-thinking of?
