 6. Chet Ensign has asked for feedback on the OASIS process for

approving standards, based on our experience with 5.1

Bob, steps were well described by Chet. Only delays were

to be expected given the queue at OASIS for other projects.

Overall, we were pleased with the experience.

 NEW ACTION: Bob will give our feedback to Chet.

 7. XSD support in 6.0

Discussion as to whether we should discontinue support in 6.0 or in 5.2.

Because XSD is not part of the official standard, and because the effort for

converting the RNG to XSD is considerable, we decided to discontinue

support for XSD starting with DocBook 5.2.

Bob will announce this to the community.
