| Graham and I have finally produced the pre-publication draft of the
| XTM 1.1 CD, which you can find at:
| 
|   <URL: http://www.isotopicmaps.org/sam/sam-xtm/ >
| 
| It would be great if those of you who have the time and interest could
| review it, and post comments. We expect to publish the official CD
| (with whatever modifications turn out to be necessary) early next week.

I have a comment on the section called "5.16 The member element":

| If the member element has an id and no more than one topicRef,
| subjectIndicatorRef, resourceRef child, a locator item is created, as
| defined in 5.3.2, and added to the [source locators] property of the
| association role item.

Actually an alternative approach is to make use of the 'id' attributes
of the topicRef, subjectIndicatorRef, resourceRef sub-elements. If one
did this one could create a source locators for all the association
roles built from a single member element. The 'id' attribute on the
member attribute can then either be dropped entirely, or used as a
fallback when there is only one sub-element.
