Twelve working drafts
Please sir, may I have another? Not quite a baker's dozen specifications.
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.
Newly on the TR page, 4 April 2005 Working Drafts of
-
XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 in Last Call,

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!

The same links are posted on http://www.w3.org/TR/ so I guess it's w3's fault...
There's an impressive array of mirroring servers behind www.w3.org. New uploads sometimes take a few hours to percolate across the whole set. By now it ought to be fully mirrored.
