I believe that extending 13250 to handle the explanation of XTM is the
long-term goal, but for the short term, only the DTD is being added to
13250.  Something about ISO politics and process, I think.

The current spec will be maintained by TopicMaps.Org (and possibily OASIS)
until the text of 13250 becomes fully descriptive of XTM (assuming any ISO
standard is fully descriptive ;-).
