about Wednesday telecon...

As you might gather from the beginning of my below message, I don't think 
we have an agenda that warrants a telecon.

I would like to chat with Stuart about W3C-OASIS coordination, but will 
arrange that off-line.  (If anyone want to join such an informal 
discussion, let me know.)

Thanks,
-Lofton.
