Rob Lord, Dave, and I have been talking about this format all day and I 
think I speak for all of us when I say that we agree wholeheartedly.  We 
think the XHTML idea is an interesting one, but is easily achieved 
through XSLT and what we're really driving at here is an exchange format 
for computers.

Just spent an hour on the phone with Ruoak, Rlord, and Dbrown.  I think 
we get it.  Dave is going to change his spec to look more like what 
Mattias has and present a new strawman.  Watch yer inbox.

Thanks, all.  I feel like we're getting somehwere.
