Re: Notation to support BPSS

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@mmiec.com>]

This certainly highlights the urgency of the need.  Thanks for sharing this 
with us, Tony.  In the longer run, the BP group should discuss whether 
notation is a distinct work item.  (I think this affects bindings with UMM, 
and so is not something to be handled casually.)  For the short term, I am 
very interested in this work and, as might others on this list, would be 
happy to participate in immediate efforts to review and refine the proposed 
notation.   Jamie Clark
