Wouldn't it have been nice to give those who might > know something about the topic more time to work on a better wording? Yes, it would. Your point is well made. But again, it's not constructive. I don't have a time machine to go back and do that. If you feel that disseminating this information in this form would cause more harm than good -- and I might agree -- I can probably kill the idea of printing it and handing it out at the conference. Or I could probably get the RDF/SW stuff deleted from "XML in 10 points" altogether before it's printed. Or you could phone me and we could work on better wording urgently (50 min left in my workday today). There's some chance of working on it tomorrow. There are any number of ways to move forward; I'll see what I can do about them. But please let's trust that everybody's doing their level best here, OK? There are a lot of working groups, a lot of conferences, and a lot of web pages to keep in sync. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
