eContracts Committee Draft

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

 Hello Dr. Leff and TC members,

  Thanks for the great work on this specification! As someone involved in the
early stages of development, it's great to see the result.

  There's a few things that need to be resolved before I can submit this
specification for Public Review - all related to adherence to OASIS style and
requisite metadata/naming conventions. There's also some information in comments
in the XML that should either be uncommented or deleted from the file.

  If you look at the recently-approved UBL 2.0 OASIS Standard, you'll see a
specification that uses DocBook Article, coupled with a set of stylesheets that
conforms to the OASIS style. The XML file can be found here:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0/UBL-2.0.xml

  The stylesheets, etc. can be found here:

ook-template-0.4.html

  I'm sure Ken Holman will be happy to assist if you have any difficulties.

  As far as URIs and filenames, you can find the filename requirements here:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/namingGuidelines/resourceNaming.html

  and the metadata requirements here:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/namingGuidelines/metadata.html
The official stage for this document is Committee Draft 01

Regards,
