Hi. I believe the schedule is targeting XSL as a completed Rec for August (?). This actually wouldn't give much time to change any charter, and then reorganise as presumably the proposed final draft would have to be completed a good time before August to allow review and tweaks. I don't think such a change in charter could be implimented without seriously pushing back the delivery of the final Rec.... how popular might a move such as this be? I also think that any such delay might prove disasterous for XSL in the long term, as there are certain companies that I simply don't think will wait longer, and are likely to simply role out their own XSL equivelent producing possible schisms. It should also be kept in mind that XSL is not an open source project, and the W3C has shown remarkable resilience in the face of industry preasure. I don't happen to agree with this as an ongoing situation, but it is what it is. I repeat... if you don't like the formatting as part of XSL... simply don't look at it. I believe that the W3C have instigated moves to develop a generic transformative language based on XSL, you might want to simply move over and jump on that band-wagon, one who'd charter matches you desires.

Great! [pausing briefly to see if I took one too many prozac pill...<g>] Anyone have a clue? Do we have to galvanize MSFT and NSCP? Who do we talk to at W3C to get this going? Lets get this show on the road! Best, Don Park Docuverse XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
