How about before reading it and before it gets pushed to PR, I note that a change of this nature is a violation of the W3C's advertised process? Specifically, section 7.4.3, <http://www.w3.org/2003/06/Process-20030618/tr.html#rec-advance> which states: After gathering implementation experience, the Working Group MAY remove features from the technical report that were identified as being "at risk" and request that the Director Call for Review of a Proposed Recommendation. If the Working Group makes other substantive changes to the technical report, the Director MUST return it to the Working Group for further work. If the Working group feels it's important to make this substantive change in the BNF grammar of XML 1.1 at this point in time, then it must go back to working draft, not forward to PR. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002) http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0201771861/cafeaulaitA
