Dear Ram,
	Thanks for the reply, it helps to know for sure :-)

Unfortunately, I can't really tell you what I'm using it for.  All I can say
is the obvious, that I am using it to define a standardized format for the
exchange of information between systems :-)

One advantage of using these standards are that 1) you've already worked
through all the issues - especially internationalization (e.g. with names
and addresses) - certainly more thoroughly or knowledgably than I would be
able to!, 2) it will presumably be maintained by OASIS as needed (such as
publishing errata and so on), and 3) it's useable by anyone.

When do you expect to fix the discrepancies?  Have you considered keeping an
online list of known discrepancies that people can refer to in between
publications?

my best regards,
Janet Roth
