Apologies for missing the meeting and note about generic test suites

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

I'm sorry, Lynne, to have missed the meeting yesterday (that I planned to 
attend) due to unexpected family obligations.  I will try again to attend 
the next meeting.

Did someone bring up that in XSLT/XPath conformance we are making our 
submission/collection/publishing processes generic and not specific to just 
XSLT and XPath?

We are implementing our prototypes at this time and it looks like we can 
configure the features of a catalogue of a suite of files in an XML 
instance and then validate and combine multiple submitted catalogues 
against the configuration.  We are trying to design everything such that 
another committee that needs to solicit contributions of collections of 
test files can reuse the entire infrastructure by only authoring a few XML 
configuration instances.

We will report on our progress as we complete our work.

Thanks!

..................... Ken
