Fwd: Widget Addressing Timescales and Test Cases.

Stuart, All,

Given the group's last discussion on this subject [1], my expectation  
is we will continue to focus on our use case [as chartered] and our  
general plan remains the same as we discussed with TAG members on  
October 21 [2].  See [3] for a thread we had regarding that October  
21 discussion.

Regarding notifying the TAG when related test cases are available, I  
created an Action for that request [4] and will notify you when those  
test cases are available.

-Regards, Art Barstow
