I know. I saw notification that BEA had indeed completed the paperwork.

Hence my response. Not a big deal, I was more worried about below. >> I'm a bit concerned about seeing "BEA" included in further >> announcements (on project releases for instance). > > I can't imagine why "BEA" would be mentioned in a project release > announcement. I think everyone understands the Apache XMLBeans > project is exactly that...not the "Apache/BEA XMLBeans project". ;-) Concerns removed.
