Don't worry about it.  I said that I thought that the first version of 
the XML document was not something I would be comfortable posting, but I 
would send copies to anyone who wanted to review it.  Stephane Richard 
was willing to do so.  Unless there are significant changes, or more 
people who want to take a shot at the current XML state, I will probably 
post version 0.2 to comp.lang.ada tomorrow.  Another potential delay is 
that I am probably going to write an XML to HTML converter this weekend, 
so you can look at the HTML to make comments.

No intent to exclude anyone, but XML is still not all that common a 
language, and I felt the intersection of those who knew XML well enough 
to comment, and were also interested in the registry project would be 
pretty small.  Hmmm.  Actually, why not?  Here is the current XML 
DOCTYPE, and the start of the registry declaration.  If you want a 
snapshot of the whole thing, send e-mail.  But, please, only if you are 
willing to read it and comment.:
