Let me be clear here: I developed the GML that Carl sent to Ron
Lake in close coordination with Ron. However, that GML is NOT in
CAP format. Rather, my GML file takes a set of CAP alerts and
does a variety of transformations (a person in Australia intends
to do a similar process using an XML Styleseheet Transform).

My goal was just to show that there is at least one way to
convert CAP messages into GML. I have a draft Implementors Note
explaining exactly how that was done in this particular case,
but that work was never intended to be normative in any sense.
