Re: Proposal: exslt:memoisation attribute and/or extensionelement

Hi to everybody and Happy New Year,

I wish to you health, happiness and success.

As to Exslt.Org, I wish that this year we have results.

The thread I'm revitalising was active in August last year. It seemed that 
everything was done as it was supposed to be -- a proposal, discussion, 
voting, no negative votes.

However, now, 5 months later the exslt:memoisation attribute has still not 
been published on the Exslt.Org site.

Please, please, please...   or there will be numerous saxon:Extensions and 
soon nobody will remember that there was something called Exslt.


Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
