Did we reach closure on this issue? I got the impression that the response was basically positive, but should I proceed? If so, I think the following would be in order: 1. Release 3.1.7 with an OASIS FPI, 2. Publish it on the OASIS website, and 3. Announce the blessing (OASIS may want to do a press release, but that's up to them AFAIC). Thoughts? Comments? Would the chair like to call a vote? :-) / Norman Walsh <[email protected]> was heard to say: Norbert has asked me to put my XML version of DocBook on the OASIS site. Personally, I'm just fine with that, but it seems to me that we can't put it on the OASIS site without giving it some level of blessing by the TC. (Even if we don't, it's avialability on the site will give it some sort of de-facto blessing anyway.) I've never been inclined to attempt to get any sort of official status for my versions because we plan to harmonize towards XML in 5.0 anyway. But perhaps something official would be useful before that. Realizing that 5.0 is at least 14 months away gives me a little pause.
