Bryan to post new version of intermediate work.

Note that Bryan needs same help as Zarella/Ken regarding UBL 2 XPath addresses.

Bryan commented that Allan is working on a calculation model.  Ken 
mentioned that if the model is expressed using abstract terms for the 
operands, then we can plug in the actual XPath addresses without 
changing the calculation model.

Bryan looking into creating a collaborative writing environment for 
fleshing out the input specifications document.

Bryan: do we need some kind of layout expertise to help with an input 
orientation?  Ken suggested that layout would be a separate document 
to prove the input specification document works, but the layout would 
merely be an example and not normative, thus giving implementers the 
leeway to implement the input specification as they wish.

>4) Other business.

No other business today.

Ken reiterated the need to do work over the public mail list rather 
than through private mail as there may not be many meetings convened 
for the next while.

The call ended about 14:30UTC.
