Tom,

 

Not to self-promote, but the Titania Delivery demo portal has been pulling the latest 1.3 stuff out of SVN nightly for a while now. The new artwork is visible in these topics (and look great, IMHO):

 

About: Overview

About: Base

About: Technical Content

About: All-Inclusive

Formatting conventions in the XHTML version of the specification

Overview of document-type shells

Addressing keys across scopes

Example: Key definitions in nested key scopes

Release management domain

I have completed revising all of the graphics in the 1.3 spec. This is a comprehensive but "non-substantive/material" overhaul -- aesthetic updates only, although in several cases I made some alterations that I believe improve the clarity/understanding of the original, without changing the essence.

 

It wouldn't hurt to have some eyes that are not mine to review all of the graphics, but I'm not sure what would be a convenient way to do that. I think this would be a somewhat urgent task -- needing to have any subsequent revisions done by the end of this week, maybe? (Kris? Robert?)

 

One thing I could and would do is simply email a copy of the new set to anyone who wants to see them, along with a list of the locations where the old ones can be viewed.

 

Or, if you have access to the SVN repository, everything's checked in.

 

This review would not be a difficult task, by the way. There are only 10 graphics in the largest ("all-inclusive") edition of the spec, and a grand total of 13 images to be examined. (13, not 10, because the "editions diagram" has four versions--one for each edition plus the "overview" doc.)
