Re: [huml] Convergent Standards Paper

Rex, per the Mission Statement for HPCDML, please include:

 ", as well as physical remains (e.g., fossils and bones) of ancestral 
human and hominid (e.g., paleoanthropological specimens) "

so that the paragraph reads:

"The Human Physical Characteristics Description Markup Language (HPCDML) 
is the deliverable workproduct of the HPCDML Subcommittee of the OASIS 
HumanMarkup Technical Committee. This language is aimed at bringing 
together a comprehensive, self-consistent, synthesis of existing and 
planned standards for documenting the Human Body, as well as physical 
remains (e.g., fossils and bones) of ancestral human and hominids (e.g., 
paleoanthropological specimens) in addition to providing the operational 
set of physical descriptions and descriptions of physical behavior 
required by applications using the Human Markup Language...."
