Proposed repair-in-place of recently published XML docs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Further to the decision of the WG regarding John Cowan's discovering
spurious spaces in the new versions of the XML RECs, I've proceeded as
follows:

1) Quantified the problem (60 instances in XML 1.1 2e, 59 in XML 1.0 4e);

2) Understood the problem (it arises because of reflowing of
paragraphs containing the sequence <quote><code>...</code></quote> in
the XML original into the form
                                   <quote>
                                                <code>...</code>
</quote>

Presumably this was a side-effect of some edit-and-save operation at
some point. . .

3) Corrected the problem, in both the XML original _and_ the HTML, by
hand.  I did _not_ regenerate the HTML using XSLT, as that would have
changed the autogenerated section anchors, which may already be link
targets in the published versions. . .

4) Changed the front matter to read

  W3C Recommendation 16 August 2006, edited in place 21 September 2006

5) Changed the SoTD to include

  On 21 September 2006 this document was edited in place to remove a
  number of spurious and potentially misleading spaces.

Could you all, please, inspect

       http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/08/xml10-4e/Overview.html
       http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/08/xml11-2e/Overview.html

and confirm that you're happy, or suggest changes (aside from changing
the 21 September date) that would _make_ you happy, at which point
I'll organise making this happen with the webmaster (we can discuss
the process issues involved on the telcon).

Thanks for your help, sorry this is so finicky, but with our headline
XML RECs we have to be careful.

Note that I have _not_ included the review (diff-marked) versions in
this exercise -- once the RECs are sorted, I'll just do those myself
w/o involving the webmaster.
