Wow!  I didn't expect such a huge (and heated) response to
my two messages!

The official word on AmS-LaTeX seems to be that it will be ready
in 6 weeks.  Yes?

I had another thought on languages.  After reading the discussion
today I remembered an article in TeX & TUG news.
In Volume 1 Number 4 there's an article about just this!
However, I don't think this is what babel currently does. (?)
When will we see this article`s recommendations implemented?
(In particular, the two-letter language codes.)

The LaTeX2e conference looks interesting, but somehow I don't
think I'll be there.  Have any of you presenters prepared
some slides for your seminars?  I'd love to be able to
reuse some of them for my local presentation.

Oh, that reminds me.  Please don't say things
like `it will be ready in spring'.  For me, spring is
September to November.  (Frank is especially guilty!)

Richard, enjoying another hot *summer* in the antipodes.
