Tim, while I appreciate the honesty of the question, it frustrates me that
given your position within XLink, that it has to be asked. We could spend
several hours this morning digging through the communications between our
groups -- but should that really be necessary? Steven even flew to France
to a Face to Face meeting to explain our issues and concerns, and why we
simply couldn't adopt your end product -- was he talking to the walls there?
Frustrated,
Ann
