Hi, Art- Thanks. As simple a spec as it is, it took a lot of valuable contributions and discussion on the mailing list to make sure it was useful to authors and would be implemented widely. The next step is to make a test suite, and an implementation report. As mentioned, we already have plans for a complementary spec, or perhaps even a next version, which include a nodelist and other features, and I'm collecting use cases and requirements for that now, to propose taking this on as a deliverable.
