    I understood from Howard Mason's emails that Edition 2 would be
automatically killed by ISO unless they had the IS document in their hands
by 31 January 2003. Has that situation changed? If not, then end of December
is too late and the burial party should start forming.

    I believe that any mention of possible contents of any comments has no
place in Part 11. The traceability is a documentation issue which is outside
the scope of Part 11. If SC4 wants some kind of traceability then it is
already in the AP where the short and long forms are specified. If SC4 wants
to go further then the Supplementary Directives is the place to deal with
it, and I will suggest that coments _before_ the start of the long form
schema is the place to put the words. Remember that an EXPRESS processor can
discard any and all comments.
