Re: [Fwd: Request for in-place modification of XML 1.0 5E]

I will confirm on this week's telcon, but I have no objections
in principle if the team wants to make these changes.

I would be curious to see Ian's reference [2] which I cannot
because it is team-only.  While it isn't necessary, if either
a copy of that message or at least a brief summary of what it
says could be made available, I'd appreciate it.

As far as making the actual changes, someone needs to decide
if the changes (and "modified in place" notice) should be made
only in the Overview.html or also in REC-xml-20081126-review.html
and REC-xml-20081126.xml.

I will augment xml-V10-5e-errata.html to include this modification
which will ensure we consider this change when generating the next
edition.
