Re: Apologies for missing the meeting and note about generic testsuites

Sorry you couldn't make it.  No one had specifically mentioned the
work being done in XSLT/XPath.  However, I am familiar with it since
Carmelo and Lofton have mentioned what is being developed.  In fact,
I had wanted to talk to you about it and about being able to use the work
of your TC as both input to the guidance documents we produce (perhaps a
joint document between our 2 TCs) and as resources that other people
could use and perhaps tweak for their use.  Specificallly, one of
the things we would like to include in the TC's resources is test
methodologies, including templates, frameworks, etc.  It would be
great to include the XSLT/XPath submission/collection/publishing process
- both from a descriptive point of view, as well as being able to have
links to the code that your TC is developing.
