    Elysa,
    
    I still haven't heard back from Mary on what exactly a "red-lined"
    version means, so I haven't done any work toward that end. Hopefully,
    I'll get clarification today in time to make changes before the meeting
    tomorrow.

    Rex and others,
    
    Yes we did vote on the spec as indicated in the posted draft meeting 
    notes.  The documentation was presented to OASIS for submittal.  I
    provided 
    the documents just as we reviewed them in that meeting.  There were no 
    corrections that came in after the call.  However, OASIS came back and 
    requested a "red-lined" version of the changes.  As you know, we
    reviewed a 
    document without red lines but with a supplemental document that
    identified 
    each and every change.  This is apparently not the approved submittal 
    format for a 15-day review so, Patti is working to get the document in
    that 
    form.
    
    I am glad this validation issue came up before the actual submittal and
    it 
    needs to be worked out before the document is posted.  Depending on the 
    change(s) necessary, we may also have to vote on it again.  As we have 
    agreed in the TC, it is more important to get it right than get it out 
    there with errors.  We will have our regular full TC meeting on Tuesday 
    1/24 and will address any remaining issues.  Also, OASIS has schema
    experts 
    that we can query about this issue if it is warranted.
    
    Regards,
    Elysa
