Re: Comments on XML Catalogs specification

[Rob Lugt <roblugt@elcel.com>]

Norman,

I have just looked at the 17 May draft, and the incorrect "order of
specificity of match" at the end of section 3.1 is still there.  I see that
an earlier list in that section has become bullet points - but that wasn't
the list that I was referring to in my earlier email.
