Re: [docbook] DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 16 October 2013

Hi Mike,
I think Norm's comment about add-ons was about managing how several 
independent add-ons could be applied at the same time without conflict. 
With multiple add-ons, each potential combination has to be checked.  He 
didn't give any more details.

The plan is to include the new slides schema and stylesheets in the next XSL 
distribution, but that work has not yet been done.
