CORRECTION: 60-day Public Review for DocBook Version 5.1 COS01 - ends Nov. 7th

In the original announcement of the public review, I entered the link to
the HTML version as:


HTML (Authoritative):
http://docs.oasis-open.org/docbook/docbook/v5.1/cos01/docbook-v5.1-cos01.HTML

The correct link is:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/docbook/docbook/v5.1/cos01/docbook-v5.1-cos01.html

My apologies for the typo.

Best regards,

/chet
