Congratulations to the XML Working Group and especially the editors for
yesterday's publication of the Proposed Recommendation.

I've only had a brief few moments to examine the new standard (I'm in Canada
on business, very business-busy), but it doesn't look that different from the
11/17 WD. Are there any significant changes lurking? I haven't seen any so
far, and suspect that there aren't. As the document won't be final until
January at least, it may be a little premature to ask, but I'm curious. The
book's in press already anyway (based on WD 8/7/97 and corrected for WD
11/17/97) but I'd like to know the expected lifetime of the documents I've
created so far.
