I notice OpenSolaris package repository, development build 118 is out however Solaris Express Community Edition Build 117 is still the latest, is this usual?

No, it is rather unusual. what happened is that SXCE 118 was skipped. The problem with the SXCE as a distribution didn't stop other distribution providers, however, from releasing their binaries based on the same OS/Net (and other) consolidation(s).
