Note Location Note Description                                                                                                                                                                                                          
Base Specification - Q1 2009 - Errata Update Republish Specification in HTML format                                                                                                                                                                           
Infoset No timeline specified - a generalisation of the Versioning Infoset is possible once that specification has been finalised                                       
Generic Links Precise timing to be determined. Other specifications that are dependent on it and which will provide input into it: Versioning, Formula, Rendering
