> Right now, IETF is in the unenviable position of imposing a serious tax of attention for people who don't care about text formats to make a contribution. It's a bad filter of ideas to only allow those who can deal with XML in whichever is the version du jour. The expeeriment in file format chage has taken too long and the world has moved on. It may interest people to know that the topic of XMLv3 is on the IETF LLC’s board meeting agenda next week (it will occur during the Executive Director's report). See also this recent blog post at https://www.ietf.org/blog/rfc-v3-xml-issues/. The board meeting info is at https://ietf.org/about/groups/llc-board/meeting-info/ for the Webex link -- 12 November at 20:00 UTC. Jason
