We need to get done so a new syntax between now and REC isn't on (precluded by charter).

We are meeting Thursday and Friday Its a great shame Dave won't be there, but I'm strongly in favour of at least an informal meeting. There isn't an RDFCore meeting - its turned into an semantic web architecture meeting. I'll put this on our telecon agenda for Friday. > b) Would you be willing to extend the last call deadline to after the TP >week, so we can take our discussions into account? I'd rather see this as future work than part of our current set of deliverables, so I don't think this need affect our last call schedule. Brian
