RE: [soa-rm] Newer TC members please respond

["Peter F Brown" <peter@justbrown.net>]

Another possibility, following on the Bray example, would be for us editors
to at least indicate some of the hotspots in the text where there has been
considerable debate, at least as a way of flagging some sentences or paras
as being worded as to reflect delicate compromise, political fudge or sheer
blood sweat and tears. This could serve for newer members at least as a
first sign that there may be a lot of baggage behind some wording and
innocent cock-ups or oversights in others

  one thing I found especially useful in the XML world is Tim Bray's
annotated XML specification (http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm). A lot of
work; but very useful for someone coming to XML from the cold.
