 f.  Jirka will contact Norm about transitioning the DocBook schema files
     so that he can make edits to them as we proceed with changes beyond version 5.1.
     STATUS: Jirka has implemented all approved RFEs in the RELAX NG schema. He still needs
     to sort out access issues. schemas are attached to this mail message:

     CONTINUE

NEW ACTION: Bob to talk with Norm about the future of the Definitive Guide.

Question: is XSD becoming less important enough to drop? Maybe drop from alpha and beta versions. Or, maybe announce that as of DocBook 6 we will not support XSD.

NEW ACTION: Bob will send note to DocBook list asking for the impact if we remove support for XSD in DocBook 6.0.
