| Hi Norm,
| I completed a review of the minutes, starting in March 2003.  Here is what I
| found for version 4.4.  Only one item (#2) is controversial.
|
| 1.  In September 2003, we added a 'language' attribute to synopsis and
| programlisting.  I think it was intended for 4.3, but didn't get in.

That's in 4.3.

| 2. In November 2002 we voted to add a new floatstyle CDATA attribute to the
| four formal elements.
|
| In September 2003 we confirmed that floatstyle should be added to the formal
| elements in 4.3.
|
| In October 2003 we voted to abandon the new floatstyle attribute on formal
| items, add a float attribute to example, equation, and table with CDATA type
| #IMPLIED, and change the float attribute on figure to CDATA leaving the
| default value of 0 for now and changing it to #IMPLIED in 5.0.
|
| But floatstyle got into 4.3 on the four formal elements, so I'm wondering if
| this should be revisited yet again.  It seems the horses are already out of
| the barn, though.

Yeah, we'll have to talk about this one. Blast it all. Agenda, please.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
