Thierry is right.  However ... once again ... the date itself is critical 
information to the ASD/S1000D constituents (and other coordinating 
groups).  Therefore, we (Dave and I) decided not to fight the extra 2-week 
delay.

What is most important now is to tell ASD/S1000D the date, and stick with 
it.  (The exact date is not as critical, as long as it's in January -- 
correct me if I'm wrong about that, Dave.)

Could we arrange to have another staff member cover your role, in your 
absence?  (Actually, I expect all documents to be verified and everything 
to be ready by mid-January, so it should be simple.)
