I have permanent time collision for DocBook TC call, but I can certainly
make one or two additional meetings. I think that we should move more
discussion to mailing list as Bob suggested.

I somewhat share Bob sentiment about slow progress. But I think that
especially for transclusions and partly also for assemblies problems is
not only in number of meetings but in general lack of interest and
demand from larger community for these features. I think that if there
will be users in strong need for these features pushing things forward,
schedule will be completely different. Alse TC members has very limited
resources. But this is problem for all working groups in various
standards bodies. So we should try to do our best, but we are not magicians.

Have a nice day,
