Good abstract, Lagoze et al.! 

Is there a full-text available of this paper yet, so we can distribute
it further? It should help pre-empt inaccurate press releases. (But
meanwhile we should resolve the name-game for "UPS" too, so we can stop
being anonymous... At last hearing, I liked "openarchives"...)

Good idea. But let's give Herbert executive posers over the final draft
or the text may head off in all directions, as the first day of our
meeting did.
