present by this months' call if he wishes)

that I will write an RFE for myself.


8.  Add slides schema variant to DocBook 5?

We discussed how to handle schema extensions at a previous meeting.

ACTION: Bob to research what we decided before.

Larry suggested that perhaps the slides extensions could be
implemented in DocBook assembly, with outputformat="slides".
Dick thought the DocBook website schema might fit into that
as well.  

ACTION: Bob to send the proposed slides schema to the TC.

ACTION:  Larry to try mapping slides to assembly.
