Ill be glad to help David.
The approach some of us are taking is slightly different (not too keen
on a eml2iso stylesheet, really) - more on our modest roadmap for ISOxxx
compliance later.
Producing ISO compliance for me has also been in the back burner mainly
for the following two reasons
1) ISO compliance has not penetrated our realm yet in a major way,
although the ISO drumming has been in crescendo -- I.e, there is still
slow or negligible demand for ISO in our orbit -NBII, US-LTER.-
2) the old reluctance shared with some in this email recipient list
about the proprietary character of ISO standards
cheers, inigo
