The probably-last gang of issues

2005-01-24 Thread Paul Hoffman
Greetings again. Sam's recent work queue rotation marks what we consider to be the likely final rotation before we are finished with the Atom format draft. That is, the goal is that, once we accept or close all of the items from the rotation, the format document editors will have a complete

Sam has updated our Public Issues List, and Paul has talked about about where we'd like to get to. I'm about to send fifteen separate messages, one for each of the 15 (!) format-related Paces up for their (hopefully) last go-around. These are the result of discussion between Paul and Sam and

It reads like more of a guideline than a Pace. Inspecting the format for conformance to these guidelines and generating Paces for non-conformances seems like a better way to proceed than to actually add this text to the spec. -joe On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 16:17:36 -0800, Tim Bray [EMAIL
