2) Formatting specification status:

   - Zarella's work from Ottawa meeting
     - http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-hisc/200602/msg00009.html
   - Ken action: post prose regarding DocBook augmentation
     - http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-hisc/200603/msg00000.html
     - note this has a modified UN220Order.xml formatting specification
       to accommodate new features that I determined in implementation
       were necessary
   - next steps
     - Zarella to update remaining 7 formatting specifications for boxes
       so that Ken can begin testing and produce PDF files
     - we need someone to help Zarella choose the UBL 2.0 XPath expressions
       to replace the UBL 1.0 XPath expressions in the formatting specs
   - problem with XPath files
     - I've prepared the XPath files for wd-UBL-2.0-20060101 and removed
       the voluminous HTML files; what remains, however, is a single ZIP
       file of 207Mb
     - so I then created 29 ZIP files, one for each document type, totalling
       207Mb, but I cannot upload anything as big as 5Mb because of network
       timeouts and some of the files (e.g. Order) are 38Mb
     - I find there is no way to communicate the summary XPath information
       for full wd-UBL-2 to committee members because it is so large
     - I suggest we abandon working with full wd-UBL-2 and focus our work
       on wd-UBL-2-SBS-1.0.1 whose files are much more manageable:

       http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16721/wd-UBL-2-SBS-1.0.1.zip

     - note regarding (1) above, that the wd-UBL-2-SBS-1.0.1 does not
       include any catalogue-related document types, but all the other
       document types in the Danish priorities appear to be included

3) Input specification status

   - status

4) Other business.

5) Next meeting March 14.

"See" you then!
