SML 1.0 is out

After taking the form of two early drafts (versions 0.5 and 0.65), the SML specification has now reached v1.0, along with its sidekick the SML-IF specification. You can find both of them at serviceml.org. This is where the happy bunch that assembled to create these specs would normally part ways. Not quite true in this case since there is related work about to be tackled by a very similar set of people (more on this later), but at least we are not going to touch SML and SML-IF anymore. They are ready for submission to a standards body where further modifications will take place (more on this later too).
