Re: [ubl] Global vs. Local -- Gunther's Recommendation

["Eve L. Maler" <eve.maler@sun.com>]

I'm very sorry for the delay, but I attach some comments on Gunther's 
paper, done as Word "yellow note" comments.  I hope to discuss these in 
the NDR call today.  I don't think I've followed Jim's guidelines to the 
letter, but I hope that I have followed them in spirit!
