John,

Given the time constraints and the need to get it right, I will incorporate the changes we agree to on the editor call and  upload the word and PDF versions.

I request that you please do the generation of XHTML version and post to the list.

Thanks

Prasad

According to the revised OASIS TC Process we need to deliver an XHTML
version of the spec.   Word 2003 and Word 2007 can be used to produce
HTML but not XHTML.

To create the XHTML, save the doc as filtered HTML.   Then run the W3C
Tidy tool against the file using the XHTML output option:  

tidy -file errors.txt -asxhtml -o wsbpel-public-review.htm
wsbpel-specification-draft-Aug17-2006.htm 

You can get tidy here: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
A GUI for Tidy is available at
http://users.rcn.com/creitzel/tidy/tidyui.zip.  

I ran a quick test against the 8/17 draft and received some warnings
regarding the anchor names used in the spec (XHTML requires anchor names
to be a solid string with no spaces - many of our anchor names include
spaces).   We also have some characters (like a paren) that are not
allowed in anchor names.   This causes us to fail the validation as
transitional XHTML.
