I appreciate that youbre frustrated by some of the editorial problems
that exist in the XPath specifications. I think we are all sometimes
frustrated by them. But as one of the editors, I feel a little insulted
by the contemptuous tone of your remarks.

The specifications represent the diligent efforts of a team of
volunteers working over a period of many years trying to craft
descriptions that satisfied a wide variety of stakeholders.

I hope that we can all work together constructively to continue to
improve them.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
