Version 1.0 of the VOEvent specification has been uploaded to the twiki:

     http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaVOEvent

along with revised copies of the three examples (simple, typical,  
indirection packet), a v1.0 schema that will validate the examples,  
and a document model diagram that may help clarify future  
discussions.  In a neat demonstration of reality informing previous  
virtual discussion, the server hosting the STC schema is down  
currently - but both Oxygen and the W3C XML Schema Validator (http:// 
www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv) repeatedly validated (or failed to,  
as appropriate) various test packets earlier today.  A 24/7/365 sky  
monitoring program obviously cannot afford dependencies on the health  
of external servers.  We might want to open the post-v1.0 era seeking  
comments on how best to serve the schemata.
