Subject: W3C errata naming conventions
(A review of the archive indicates that this message sent earlier by John
cc'ed to the mail list was probably not distributed to all members. I
cannot tell the nature of the problem regarding why it wasn't forwarded at
all, but it isn't in the archive. In the future when any of you send a
message to the list, please monitor your own list message reception to
determine if it was forwarded to all. John, I suspect the reason that
caused this is the reason your message sent on the 10th (quoted below)
never made it to anybody either. Hopefully my resending of the message
will make it through. ............ Ken)
