+i don't know what happened with the cvs tree for the DTD. i suspect there

+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.
