Assuming I'm reading that correctly, it implies that we might be publishing changelogs *before* a release has actually been rolled. I really like this idea, if for no other reason than the changelog often doesn't get updated with the latest release date until the *following* release, which is ... irritating. :) What about having instead of "release text" or whatever, maybe an ENUM which contains a few mnemonics like "dev", "release", "votefail", etc.? That can be validated by an XML validator and the XSLT can produce standardized text for each status. -chris
