I concur with Mike below. Ask any question you like, I know I will
before this is all over. I also think it's important that we leave our
pride and personal agendas at the door. I for one am quite pleased with
the work I've done on my website, but I'm not going to remain so rigidly
attached to it that I'm not open to changing anything that's there. I
hope the same attitude can pervade this group. There are a lot of
excellent ideas and important perspectives here. This work is for the
benefit of the international cave-surveying community, not the notoriety
of a handful of souls.

Well I am having probs keeping up too. There are many good ideas and I
still am trying at
the same time to learn about schemas. Don't worry too much about wasting
peoples time -
best we ask questions if we are unsure about something. There is so much
to think about
here and lots at stake; I have to stop and think about my DTD done early
last year eg "is
this persons idea better than mine", "is there a better way" or "no I
dont like this
suggestion at all" etc. If we muck it up we muck it up for cavers who
might use XML
enabled software, and for the developers.
