CHANGE REQUESTS
===============
From list posted by Anne on 22 August 2002:

13. Semantics for multiple subjects and matching.  Simon proposes
    matching out of one <Subject> category in the <Target>:
    i.e. all matches must be satisfied within one <Subject>.
    Simon also proposes having a single <Subject> element per
    category.  Postpone support for distinguishing different
    subjects within a single category to 2.0.  Can also define a
    new subject-category for different "types" of requesting
    user.

    APPROVED.  Need to vote again with quorum.

14. Change section title to "Security and Privacy Considerations"

    APPROVED.  Need to vote again with quorum.

SCHEDULE REVIEW
===============
- Don't let lack of quorum hold things up: make recommendation
  and then do a block vote on recommendations next time we have
  quorum.
- Functions: need specifications.
  For non-mandatory functions either remove, define, or find
  spec.  Anne: will do quick pass on XPATH 2.0 functions, pass to
  Michiharu and Polar.
- Monday call: go through more change requests. 10-12am Eastern
  time.
- Anne: cull out change requests from e-mail.
- Target: 26 Sept to vote to approve CS.
- Target: 1 Nov or 1 Dec for submission to OASIS

Tim: WS-Security meeting view is that OASIS will approve the
  changes allowing submissions monthly and that approval process
  will be 2 months rather than 5.
