Michael, et al.

Thanks for this. I regret that my message triggered a diatribe from
another which both offended people and recast my message in a political
context which had little to do with the content or intent of my message.
I expect most readers know that.

I can agree there are needs for these languages. I have reservations
about the syntax.
I'll address them on the ltru list.

We can agree that it would have been better to have a standard in place.

It would have been nice if others were invited to the discussion in
Berlin that you mentioned...

I regret we didnt get to spend more time together during the conference,
it was a busy time.

Best regards,

tex
