Yeah, I know. (Presumably, since the Fragment Interchange never went to
Rec, it would have to be non-normative.) After I posted that message last
night, I went back to look at the earlier XSLT drafts; Fragment Interchange
wasn't referenced from them, either. The only connection I can establish
between the two is that Paul Grosso of Arbortext was on both WGs; you might
try e-mailing him to ask if the connection is coincidental, or intentional
but undocumented.
