Status of ISO Schematron

["Rick Jelliffe" <rjelliffe@allette.com.au>]

A happy day for me :-)  Schematron is now slated to finally become an ISO
Standard in March.

The text for the Final Draft Internation Standard for Schematron has now
been approved by multi-national voting. It is copyright ISO, but it is
basically identical to the draft at www.schematron.com

The standard is 30 pages. 21 are normative, including schema listings and
a characterization of Schematron semantics in predicate logic. Appendixes
show how to use other query language bindings (than XSLT1), how to use
Schematron as a vocabulary, how to express multi-lingual dignostics, and a
simple description of the design requirements for ISO Schematron.

Special, and terribly heartfelt, thanks to Ken Holman (Canada) and Martin
Bryan (UK) for pressing on despite my incapacitation.

Cheers
