Lars Marius and Graham can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the
most important piece of work, from the point of view of being able
to finalize the SAM, is the first draft of the HyTM deserialization
specification, i.e. the part that corresponds to section 3 in N328
(and its successors):

    http://www.isotopicmaps.org/sam/sam-xtm/#sect-deserialization

This essentially consists of a set of subsections, one for each element
type in the HyTM meta-DTD, explaining what SAM information items and
properties elements of each type give rise to. This is important
because it will reveal any inconsistencies or lacunae in the SAM.

Since the SAM is now in such an advanced state, it is important that
those things be brought to light as soon as possible.
