Re: Transition Request: (2nd) PER Request for XML Base Second Edition

Paul,

I was ready to say "go ahead".  Then there has been a flurry of emails with this same subject line that I simply do not have time to follow and understand.  I've asked PLH and Henry to summarize the state and conclusion of these, and have not heard back yet.  What is the issue?
