Paul,

Here is my take on the paragraph above:

1) The current W3C XML proposal does not contain a way to define subsets.

2) The voting on the XML proposal closes today. The release date as an
official W3C spec will depend on the votes and comments received from
W3C members.

3) If W3C members have commented that they want to get a way of defining
subsets in XML, the specs need to be enhanced and the ratification
of it will be delayed for at least a few months.

So, either the XML specs will go ahead as is without the subset feature,
or you will not have an XML spec to reference until later.
