Diane and John,
Looks like it is done at last. I skimmed the result and
actually recognized the structure of the contents!
My most sincere congratulations. This is quite an
achievement given the complexity of the contents.
The world has probably moved past the peak of the hype cycle for
WS-* specs, but this will remain a significant and impactful achievement.
Reaching this milestone is probably a great relief to some of
you as well J
Cheers, and all the best,
Satish

specification may not have been changed between its approval as a Committee

Standard, except for the changes on the title page and running footer noting
the approval status and date.
