I don't understand this statement. Did we not, in Baltimore, discuss
and settle this very matter? And did we not agree on the following
formulation:

   This is a restatement of ISO13250 where we,

   1. specify a data model (RM/XTM);
   2. explain relationship between HyTM to XTM;
   3. produce a canonicalization syntax to enable conformance
      testing;
   4. fix bugs.

   We will not change XTM or HyTM in ways that will render
   existing topic maps syntactically invalid.

   (From Patrick's notes in N376)

I interpreted this to be a very clear statement that we would *not* be
adding new features.
