Andy,

can you please respond to this since you created Y34-04? I now hear
two people in favour of Y34-02 and we had this back in July 2014:

   2014-07-21 meeting proposal and action: adopt Y34-02, AB to work out
   a concrete proposal.

So is the main delta of Y34-04 compared to Y34-02 (i) the additional
text (the three list items) or (ii) additional restrictions of "root"
to top-level nodes. (The Y34-04 referes to ncx:root which is not known
to everybody.)

Would adoption of Y34-02 with the additional text (the three list
items) of Y34-04 be a workable solution?
