Hello all,

First, my apologies for not making the last two meetings.  I've been
dealing with the occasional emergency around here, and unfortunately,
since my boss and I comprise the entire "team" at the moment in our
little area, I haven't been able to say no.

That said, I've managed to address (I think) Henrik's comments, and
have updated the test site to cover the front page and the Overview
section.  Everything else is incomplete, but I think this gives at
least an idea of how this can proceed.

I have to say that editing all the pages is something of a pain in
the neck.  I think that, if NeuStar or whoever is going to do this
with a minimum of fuss, they're going to need to write a little
program to parse the existing pages, and strip off some of the
presentation stuff and covert it to conformant xhtml.  Alternatively,
just running it through tidy does wonders.  

My experience with doing this while in no way engaged in webby type
things makes me think, more than ever, that ultimately some sort of
content management system is going to be the only answer.

Any additional thoughts, &c., are welcome.  We will not have, I'm
sure, a complete demo site for the Dallas meeting, but I think
there's enough here to show and tell.  Do others agree?

A
