I thought we intended to publish (XML)
examples separately and add the link in the spec (that's what Merri's list
of work items says).

Brent, 

  Did we agree to put the examples in the spec?  I would rather
they be separate for this provides time to improve / add to them after
the committee draft is submitted.  I thought that we were just going
to reference an "examples zip".

Merri, 

Thanks for all of your hard work on the specification.

SDD TC, please review the specification before today's call (at least give
it a good once-over), focusing on the highlighted changes. I would like
to: 

identify any changes that appear incorrect
or result in significant issues (based on all the review time spent on
this previously, I wouldn't expect many, if any, of these); and

identify those items where work is still
needed (e.g., missing text, rewording that needs done) and determine who
will fill those voids

We do need to close the open items in the list Merri posted; we also need
to get a clean copy of the spec with final content. I'm open to ways to
accelerate those tasks; I'm leaning toward quick up-or-down votes of open
items and rapid closure of the remaining specification updates. Given that
we've had lots of time and focus on the specification content, my expectation
is that we shouldn't need extended discussion on open items, and if extended
discussion appears necessary, that is likely to be a primary indicator
that the item should be deferred to version 1.1. 

To support a November 19 vote as a Committee Specification, I believe that
we must approve the general specification content as a Committee Draft
no later than next week's TC meeting. 

In other words, the light at the end of the tunnel is visible, and we need
to complete this specification and get a standard out in the industry.
Version 1.0 will be imperfect; we should accept that knowing that we've
got a very good specification that we need to push out into the industry
and that we'll gear up for the next version that can improve it even more.

Regards,

Brent

[sdd] Groups - Full Specification Draft
(oasis-sdd-spec-draft-v0.0-r85.doc)   uploaded

I know you all have been waiting with Baited breath for this version of
the

spec.  All changes are tracked with the exception of a few things
where I

had to workaround Word's attempts at being smarter than I.  Please
see the

Outstanding 1.0 Spec Issues doc for details on what updates I made.  I

started with the version that I had at the F2F after pulling in the review

updates, but that we didn't have time to go over.
