> 
>        Output formatting specifications (may not include all doctypes)
>           Owners: HISC (GHK and ZR, possible DK consultant)
>           Timeline: 8 doc types, end of Feb; cutoff end of May
>           Dependency: mid-April cutoff for all layouts;
>              sample instances from SBS now; examples from DK assumed
>              by mid-March
>           Stylesheets at same time as completion of formatting specs
>        Input mapping and XForms
>           Owner: BR
>           Timeline: don't know; will start right away;
>              cutoff end of may
> 
>   - other related items in the support package (but not the
> responsibility of HISC as a committee, but the responsibility of HISC
> members outside of the committee)
> 
>        Sample implementations of output formatting specifications (GKH)
>        Sample implementations of input mappings and XForms (BR)
> 
>   - an item I would like to add to the support package is the list of
