>Simon, Do you mount the sectional proposals on your site?

Yep. All the proposal information, including drafts and status reports, is
available at http://purl.oclc.org/NET/xschema. I've had a few difficulties
with AOL's upload facilities, but generally the site is up-to-date with what's
been posted on the list. A search for XSchema on AltaVista will now bring up
the site; so far, Yahoo hasn't accepted my submission. I'll be submitting it
elsewhere as I find time.

I've been incredibly impressed by the level of discussion, and hope it keeps
up.

Coming up later today: attributes and a slightly revised content model spec.
