As discussed there were a final group of issues that Novell and I
submitted after the spec went the ECMA general membership.  Those
issues have mostly been dealt with, and will be offered as
clarifications along with whatever resolutions the TC comes up with
for the national body issues.

Hey!  I was a good deal more irritating than just crying thank you
very much.   The SpreadsheetML rep had to deal with on the order of
200 issues out of 800 or so total raised during the course of my
involvement from Novell (non-voting) and GNOME (non-profit).  That
is a non-trivial amount of documentation.  There's still lots more
I'd like to see, but it's hard to review at that level without
actually implementing the filter to know what is interesting.
