      FOLLOWUP:  Larry: will ask submitter of issue 91 whether allowing multiple instances of type
      will do, or if a wrapper is needed.

6. Assembly (see email from Bob[3])
    >>> There is a disconnect in the TDG (5.1) regarding whether contentonly="yes" should
    >>> strip out metadata (the info element). In one place it implies that metadata is preserved
    >>> and elsewhere that metadata is stripped out. Review of minutes that discuss this issue
    >>> was inconclusive.
    >>> Opinion of the TC is that this operation should not remove metadata.

    ACTION: Bob: confirm that the stylesheets operate as we believe they should and that
                  there are no implementation issues with resolving this issue as described above.
                  If there are no implementation issues, add this to the errata.

7. Future of DocBook
    Discuss Bob's suggested message
    ACTION: Bob: Send out the message. Also check with OASIS to see if it can be more broadly distributed.
