I would say keep on trying … remember that XML Prague is a single track conference and we have an obligation (and a real challenge) to try and have a set of talks that are coherent when contrasted against each other.

As everyone goes to the same talk, its important that we have talks which are singularly interesting across a broad appeal … as you will have a % of people in each talk who may not normally attend such a talk. You need to add some ’surprise’ and new angle (without superfluous invention) … I would say there are a number of older hands familiar with the tech your paper described, whats the magic trick is to create a paper which inspires them as well as younger people who may have not been exposed.

I will make a special point to look for your submission next year and looking forward to it!

I’d say “promised for ages”, not “has been done”. Existing approaches work only in a controlled environment, when the source documents do not contain images and tables. (Well, it’s an exaggeration, but not big.)
