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.: ]> -- Robert I. Eachus "Quality is the Buddha. Quality is scientific reality. Quality is the goal of Art.
