    Subject: RE: [emergency] RE: Question on EDXL-DE schema


    Hi Folks,
    
    Can someone clarify the status of the spec at this point? I had to 
    leave a bit before the end of the last TC meeting, and I thought we 
    were pretty much done. That would make this thread moot. Is that 
    incorrect?
    
    I tried to trace the thread back to get clarification that way, but I 
    got confused. I think that we may have had a case of one or another 
    of the comments being based on an incorrect "current" version. I 
    would really like to know where we stand at this point.
    
    Regards,
    Rex
