Re: review of XML in 10 points [was: AGENDA...]

Pat,

You said many things, including:
 
> I'm not clear what 'general' means here.


This is an audience who is not likely to read a specification, at least
today. They have heard about XML - or they've seen the acronym so many
times in the tech trades - but never got a clear explanation which was
reliable and understandable. This document serves as a starting point
for that curious reader.

It is also designed to serve as a general information document for the
typical tech reporter (a new story every day, no time allowed for
coursework, subject to true marketing blitzes, etc.) 

The XML in 10 points document is translated into at least 6 languages,
as there are more curious readers out there who are interested in Web
technologies, but do not read English.

We'll work on that together, and I'll do my best to profile the audience
for the WG. If we miss the mark, lots of folks will let us know.

Best regards,
