1) Most folk on the XSL WG read this list.  There is also sometimes a
digest prepared for those who don't;

2) We are 45 days into November (:-), at the end of which we are
supposed to publish our second draft:  NOTHING major is getting
considered now, we're just trying to nail the lurking gotcha's so we
can go to press;

3) We are still EIGHT MONTHS from the timetabled proposed
recommendation draft.

Net message:  your input WILL get looked at, just don't expect any
response in the near term.
