It looks like (1) I had a problem in my merge processes and (2) there is still a problem with the definition files. A quick review of these revised links suggests that my problem is now gone, but the subcommittee issue of the definition file is still unaddressed.

Status of TSC definition review Proposed definitions are posted: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-tsc/201212/msg00011.html Looking at the PSC definition file, row 771 does, indeed, have "New definition is OK" in column "J" as the new definition. I cannot programmatically check for incorrectly written new definitions, thus my process is incorporating column "J" as the process was defined by Jon. When "J" is empty I use "D", unless it is empty, in which case the original definition is unchanged (though it is confirmed as not having been changed in the database). I do not have the time to produce all these artefacts and check that subcommittee submissions follow the guidelines. I ask that PSC review their definitions file and resubmit it when it has been checked. Although I haven't come across any problems with the TSC definitions, it might help just to do a quick review, please, for any problems that may lie hidden there. Thank you! . . . . . . . . .
