agenda for Tuesday's conference call

[Tomaz Erjavec]

Dear John, all,
I'm afraid I'll have to give this call a miss - I became a
father last week, and wife and daughter came home from the hospital
yesterday, a bit sooner than expected. So I'll be staying at home
today & will just wish you all a very productive chat! 
Best, 
Tomaz

 > 	At the heart of such an inquiry, is a comparison of the current TEI with
