RE: [XQuery] I18N last call comments

Martin,

This message responds to one of the XQuery Last Call comments that you 
posted on behalf of the I18n WG, specifically, comment number [9] in the 
message located at 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Feb/0415.html.

The XML Query WG has considered this comment and agrees with the sentiment 
and the need for examples to reflect more of the world than the United 
States.  The editors of all of the documents under the auspices of the XML 
Query WG have been asked to be more sensitive to this requirement when 
writing future examples, and they have been encouraged to consider whether 
there are the resources available to alter existing examples when other 
work is being performed nearby in the documents.

However, the WG knows that there are not sufficient resources to undertake 
the job of rewriting possibly many examples for this desirable purpose, 
since there are far more urgent requirements on our editors.

Please let us know if this resolution is not satisfactory.

Hope this helps,
    Jim
