    Metadata (Patrick):
    Samples are worked on, and specification proposal is checked against them.
    
    Formula (Rob, David W.):
    Rob/DavidW:
    A discussion about the overall structure of the document is ongoing, in 
    particular whether the test cases shall be removed from the specification.
    The idea of an annotated specification was discussed, as well as 
    technical aspects of having two specification documents.
    It was stated that removing the test cases may requires a rewrite of 
    some descriptive texts. For the case that the SC decides to remove the 
    test cases, volunteers are welcome for the rewrite of the specification.
    
    * proposals
    Bruce mentioned that the bibliography proposals may become part of the 
    metadata proposals.
    Michael asked the TC members to review the open proposals so that the TC 
    may vote on them next week.
