DONE.  I just got off the phone with Bob.  Unfortunately, he will not have 
any cycles to try and do an end-of-year spec release.  I may have a bit of 
time late next week, and could attempt some editorial cleanup (basically 
Word style usage and OASIS boilerplate).  Shall we just try to do a little 
bit to each spec and see how far we get?

By the way, it's pretty clear that most of us don't feel these specs are 
"final release" worthy yet.  That's perfectly fine (though we'll want to 
formally revise our schedule pretty soon...).  I still think we should be 
planning a release in order to grab public attention and get people trying 
this stuff out.

In other news, Darren is going to put together a white paper from some 
materials supplied by various people, and I'll edit it.  Also, I gathered 
an initial set of FAQ questions and Hal wrote brief answers for them.  I'll 
format this and send it out to the TC for review.
