Yes, and eventually yes.  That is the process I've established for
producing the report from the raw data.  Once we have honed the HTML into
the desired presentation I'll throw together the printing script to get
hardcopy as well.

I will pass this request on to the committee.

It is all there, but under review due to changing requirements of the
committee as our work evolves.  The DTD is *very* content-oriented (to the
point of being too hard to follow for some who have seen it) and the DSSSL
scripts do a *lot* of munging to produce a number of indexes and cross
references (but I'm pleased with the end result).  But it is all changing
as our needs are changing.  Let me see what I can do.

Thanks, Ralph!  See you in San Jose!
