Paul,

Just reviewed the EML docs and schemas and sent some public comments
to the OASIS comments list.  Some of this can be addressed now - but
other matters are going to need more work.  Are we on a timetable to
release EML 4.0 here - or do we have another release cycle here
to use up?  Otherwise a 4.5 release to catch these other matters
clearly is another option.

Thanks, DW
