Fwd: Last call announcement for Namespaces 1.1

Brian, Dan, Eric, et al.,

Apologies if RDF Core has already committed to review Namespaces 1.1
and I've forgotten.

Please note that your review is requested by September 28th.

If possible, I'd like a commitment from the WG to do so.

>The XML Core Working Group, with this Namespaces in XML 1.1 Last Call 
>working draft, invites comment on this specification. The Last Call 
>period begins 5 September 2002 and ends 28 September 2002.

>This document is a draft of a new 1.1 revision of the Namespaces in XML 
>specification. It incorporates several errata to the 1.0 specification, 
>and one substantive change: the provision of a mechanism to "undeclare" 
>prefixes. Since documents using this new feature will not work with 
>existing processors, this revision is being tied to the 1.1 revision of 
>XML itself. XML 1.0 documents must continue to use version 1.0 of this 
>specification.

>The decision to go to Last Call is minuted at

>The last call review period ends 28 September 2002. Comments should be
>sent to xml-names-editor@w3.org.

>Unless the review uncovers substantial problems, the next step 
>will be to recommend the document for publication as a Candidate 
>Recommendation.  We plan for the CR period to end concurrently
>with the end of the XML 1.1 CR period (expected to begin in October)
>which we expect to be in mid-February 2003.

>The XML Core WG welcomes comments from all during the Last Call
