folks, none of the discussion of the OMF and the problems accessing it have gotten to the OMF list (which has been quiet for quite a while). i'm cross-posting this note so some folks on the list can see a little of what's going on here. i don't know what happened with the cvs tree for the DTD. i suspect there was a communications break between kendall and jim ray on this one. i too understood that the latest version would be on ibiblio and that we had gotten it from kendall with his blessing some time back. somehow i also thought that Eric Bischoff was keeping it now (with kendall's blessing). i agree with kendall, implicitly, that the OMF should be taken as a strong, but rough, draft and that the real world implementation experience should help to form it into a more useful and practical DTD. jim ray is out of town just now so it may be monday before i can get the cvs status cleared. please be patient tho; i'm aware of your needs and will see that we get some action as quickly as i can.
