Comments reading the materials:

This is likely a naive question, but the ISS paper on deliverables notes two
namespaces: xlink and topicmap.  We allow xpath in addressing and my read on
xpath http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath suggests that it brings along with it
namespace issues. Is xpath itself a namespace?

Interesting thought: asking ISO 13250 to stay up with XTM :-)

Regarding HyTime notes under Design decision: Miscellaneous, I must ask just
how forward-looking XTM should be.  I raise this point given my
understanding that we are not all that far from doing major chunks of HyTime
with XML; my hunch is that XTM ought to "be there when the coast arrives"
(old California earthquake joke).

On public subjects and identity, I must ask if public subjects take on the
semantics associated with inheritance.  If so, multiple identity links would
imply multiple inheritance, n'est-ce pas?

I did not see the white paper on using XSLT to transform TMs to SVG.  Does
it exist?  I got from the Xtreme 2000 that it is possible to imbed TMs
inside SVG, meaning that one need not do a post-hoc transform.  The TM DTD
does not make room for the necessary information for any kind of graphical
presentation, so imbeding makes more sense.  Here, I am refering to the open
source project to be included with the book.  When a graphically-generated
XTM object is serialized, the serialization process starts with SVG,
imbedding the XTM stuff inside (at least, that's the way I plan to code it
up).  No layout information is lost.

Just my 0.02 Euros for now.
