New specification draft - Please try to review by Friday

[Adam Lally <alally@us.ibm.com>]

Hi All,

A new draft of the specification is
attached (and I also uploaded to the TC website).  If at all possible,
please take a look at this before our Friday telecon so that we can discuss
any issues and hopefully open a ballot to approve the document.

Here is a summary of the changes:

• Major reorganization.  Section 3 now contains an expanded overview of each spec element.  Section 4 is the full specification of each element.  Appendix B is the examples.
• Fixed many errors and typos found by Karin and myself.  
• Updated all the Formal Specification Artifacts in Appendix C.
• Added Related Work, Abstract, and Acknowledgments sections.  Added Karin and Eric to list of editors.
• Added a note that Discontiguous annotations are not defined by standard but can be implemented by a user-defined subtype of Annotation (section 4.3.2.2).
• Added a note that the Entity type subsumes Events and Relations (section 4.3.2.3).

Regards,

-Adam
