Thanks, Betty. Yuri was also, of course, the long-time chair of the
annual SGML conference, so we have many reasons to honour him this
November.
As long as everyone's on the topic, I'd welcome suggestions about
different ways we can celebrate the 10th anniversary in Boston this
fall. Not only will IDEAlliance be holding XML 2006 be in the same
city as SGML 96 (where the first XML WD was released), but we'll even
be in the same hotel.
All the best,
David
