Thank you, Jon, on behalf of all of us!

Steve, may I leave this with you, please?  And if anyone should point to 
any office or joinery issues while I'm away from the Internet for the next 
12 hours, can you please act on the changes to those files?

Steve, I see that this is in the PDF file for Office Despatch Advice.  I 
just tried to edit the PDF I have from you and my Acrobat Exchange can't 
touch the text in it.  Can you please send me a revision?

Yes, of course.

It's not you, it's me ... I changed the example XPath addresses but not the 
documentation.  I chose two different examples in order to keep one of the 
examples an attribute, and I added a paragraph on namespace 
prefixes.  Also, I took out the word "fictitious" since the reason I 
changed the example was to use a bona fide pair of addresses from an actual 
document type.  I neglected then to cite an attribute example and have now 
done so.

The latest (without Steve's changes) is now at (no password required):

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/6464/fs-20040420-0740z.zip

I'm away from the Internet while at the conference and ISO meetings and 
should be back to my machine about 22:00 Central European Time to look for 
any requests for changes.  Until you tell me that you are no longer 
accepting revisions, we'll keep producing them with the polish that you ask 
for than can get done.

BTW ... we've only included print-oriented presentations using A4-sized 
pages, but I have US-letter-sized examples of the UN layouts that could 
also be included, and can make US-letter-sized examples from the PDF files 
that Steve makes.  I will try to go through all 19 document times and add 
links to the US-letter-sized renditions if you think it will help improve 
the package.  One comment from the last package is that it was too big ... 
perhaps we have pared it down too much?  I'll look for an answer when I get 
back to the Internet this evening.

Thanks again, Jon!
