Re: Proposed text for Steven Pemberton comment [corrected]

WebCGM WG --

1st paragraph of Abstract as approved at 3-aug telecon:

[[[
WebCGM is a graphics standard optimized for Web applications in technical 
illustration, electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, and 
similar fields.  First published (1.0) in 1999 and followed by a second 
(errata) release in 2001, WebCGM unifies potentially diverse approaches to 
CGM utilization in Web document applications.  It therefore represents a 
significant interoperability agreement amongst major users and implementers 
of the ISO CGM standard.
]]]

Chris proposes adding a new first sentence:

[[[
Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is an ISO standard, defined by ISO/IEC 
8632:1999, for the interchange of 2D vector and mixed vector/raster 
graphics. WebCGM is a profile of CGM, which adds Web linking and is 
optimized for Web applications in technical illustration, electronic 
documentation, geophysical data visualization, and similar fields.  First 
published (1.0) in 1999 and followed by a second (errata) release in 2001, 
WebCGM unifies potentially diverse approaches to CGM utilization in Web 
document applications.  It therefore represents a significant 
interoperability agreement amongst major users and implementers of the ISO 
CGM standard.
]]]

Just to be procedurally clean, we should probably approve this change to 
the 3-aug telecon decision.

Any comments?  (I'll put its approval on the 10-aug telecon agenda.)

-Lofton.
