    I guess that there are some structures that LaTeX 2.09/2e doesn't
    handle particularly well.  E.g.
    *  conference-proceedings
    *  issue of a journal, made up of a lot of individual contributions
    If it is desired that LaTeX3 should support such structures, some thought
    will need to be given to these structures over the next "two years".

indeed there is a desire -- at least *i* desire (as editor of tugboat) --
that such collective documents be handled in a more amiable manner than
is possible at present.  i haven't time to assume responsibility for the
whole task, but if someone else will take charge, i will be willing to
join in discussion and help to define the relevant criteria for reporting
to the group.

on a peripherally related matter, where can the latest version of the
volunteer task list be found?  in tugboat 13 #4, shsu.edu was cited as
the location, in [fileserv.vol-task] .  i've just checked there, and
the file is dated april 1993; hardly current ...
