To clarify: I didn't mean to say that HyTime folks weren't participating.
>From where I am (in the XML-only, non-standards-body-participant
community), I haven't heard too many of these folks _talking_.  I'd like to
see much more active participation by the entire hypertext community, and
think this could be achieved at least in part by providing an XML forum
specifically dedicated to hyperlinking technology.
