Twelve working drafts

It's that time again! The editors have delivered another round of XSL and XML Query Working Drafts. Many of them are going back to Last Call for what I (and we all!) sincerely hope will be the last time.

I did my usual bit-wrangling to get them into shape for publication. The editors have gotten very good at delivering clean drafts and I thank them all for their hard work. Most of what I do these days is coordinate with the chairs to get the status sections right and make sure all the cross references, bibliographies, and other bits are synchronized.

I fear we put a little extra stress on the W3C team this time around. One draft got substantially revised right at the last minute and tossed into the 4 April publication cycle somewhat unexpectedly. Another editor went on vacation the day after delivery. It wasn't as smooth as it could have been, and I thank the team for their patience.

We're going to try using Bugzilla for comments this time. I hope that makes the process easier to manage. But I also hope we get a lot fewer comments.

Happy reading!
