Robert,

Interesting you'd tackle this one -- I was just starting to figure out
how to do the same things. Are you willing to re-distribute the XTM
document? I'm actually only interested in the taxonomic structure of
ISO 15926 at this point anyway, so it suits my purposes. The only
thing I'd probably want that I'm *guessing* you might not have done,
is to have the topics' subject identity pointing at the original web
pages (as documentation). This was the reason I'd asked earlier if
there was to be a canonical base URI for the document that could serve
that purpose...

Nice job!

Murray
