Dear Heiko
We have to agree a new format for the source of the CF document, because the
existing one appears hard to maintain, and that's one reason why CF 1.7 has
not been completed. I hope this will be sorted out soon. All agreed tickets
will be implemented.
In fact, I don't see why we shouldn't decide now on the list of tickets which
will be included in CF 1.7 and say that people can put CF-1.7 into the
Conventions attribute now, although the document itself does not exist. What
do others think?
Best wishes
Jonathan
