Most of the really nasty stuff is going away, namely splitIDs.  There's 
been some refinement to the milestone mechanism thanks a suggestion from 
Troy and general displeasure with the current milestone scheme.  Lots and 
lots of best practices were defined.  Lots of new osisDivs were defined.  
<l> and <lg> were defined a little better, but I don't recall there 
actually being any changes to the schema.  Minor tweaks & corrections.  I 
think we added a script attribute, dropped lang (in favor of xml:lang), 
& dropped ews universally.

Lots was accomplished.  Some stuff on the agenda remains to be addressed.

Most valid OSIS 1.1.1 documents will be invalid OSIS 1.5 documents, but 
will require minor adjustment.  Very simple documents may actually be 
valid against both schemata.

Really we're all going to have to wait about a week or so to find out
what's really changed, but it's definitely an improvement.
