  Apparently subsumed by the ambiguity umbrella topic?

Topic: First Int’l Symposium on Invisible XML

Status update.

Topic: Ambiguity umbrella topic

  It was suggested that “ambiguity” is at the root of a number of issues/topics
  including rule priorities, negation, the subtraction operator, etc. How do we
  want to organize the process for tackling these issues?

Topic: Modularization

Possible discussion of some of the ideas presented in Steven’s MarkupUK paper.
(I’d like to point to it, but the MarkupUK proceedings doesn’t seem to support
doing that. At least, the frames version, which is the only version I can find,
doesn’t.)

Topic: Next meeting

Normal date and time for ixml meetings is every other Tuesday at 3 pm British
Time, 4 pm Central European Time (15:00 UTC during winter time, 14:00 UTC during
