Hmm, my reply must have gotten lost, but it was to the effect that I
doubted the TF would do any work on MicroXML whatever.  And now that
I've been to a bunch more meetings, my doubts are strongly reinforced.

I just don't see MicroXML development as in the cards for the TF; at
most, a recommendation that something like MicroXML be developed (and
even that, I think, is somewhat unlikely).  Which means that if it's to
be done at the W3C at all (as I hope it will be), it will pretty much
have to be done here.  It's certainly within our general remit, and not
within any other WG's remit as far as I can see.

Norm as chair may have other opinions.  Norm?
