I can send immediate responses to the following, with your go-ahead: >http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0179.html You don't need my goahead. But remember the goal on rdf comments is not to have a technical argument. Its to clarify whether there is an issue, what it is and how significant it is. We've got two folks saying "I don't like what you've done with the semantics of rdf:Bag." Do we think they have misunderstood what we have done? In this case, I don't think so. We can explain the reasons for the choice we made and they may accept them, or not be convinced. What is perhaps most important here is to understand the significance of the issue to Ossi and Massimo. Why do they care? What breaks for them? Is this a comment along the lines of "I would do it differently" or do they have a billion dollar software business that will go down the tubes as a result of this decision. >http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0159.html Yup >http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003JanMar/0125.html Those are comments primer and concepts, though with some quotes from *emails* of yours. Do those editors need help with these comments. I think its a bit out of line for there to be last call comments about your emails. Maybe I should make a process about to Bob about reviewing the docs, not anything else? Pat, Frank - is that necessary/helpful/idiotic/...? Brian
