Seconded.

Actually what Suellen has there corresponds with the notes I made, but I
think we may not have been explicit. I agree with Steve, but I'm not
clear why it is wrong to require a specific format (specifically, XTM).
Is this simply to be nice to people who use RDF? Or SGML Topic Maps?

I also have a note that those who were going to be at the Seattle mtg
were going to hold a discussion with the ebXML people but I didn't
write down *what* was to be discussed (but maybe this was an informal
suggestion and not for the minutes).

Microscopic nit: literature has only two ts.
