LTLI

   Francois: There was a discussion on the i18n-comments list
   ... Felix proposed to implement the discussion results, I don't see
   an issue with that

   Richard: My conclusion was that people say the right thing, so I'll
   wait until you do the next version

   <scribe> ACTION: Felix to implement discussion results from the
   i18n-comments list [recorded in
   [26]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/09-i18ncore-minutes.html#action11]

   Richard: one idea: have a separte section for the discussion of
   "language versus locale"?
   ... because that is what people confuses a lot

   Felix: good idea

   Richard: section 4, where you have the requirements: maybe separate
   sections for language and locale?

   Francois: maybe that is too much

   Felix: currently it is very similar to the resid draft, where you
   have a section similar to sec. 4

   Richard: would you leave it like that?

   Felix: yes

   Richard: 4, point "4" could have a termref

   Felix: good point

   Francois: I would like a bit more explanatory stuff here
   ... for example the definition of a basic language range etc.
   ... at least an example

   Felix: good point

   Richard: two aspects of the document: make it "normativly clear",
   and make it understandable
   ... you need to have a balance between the two

   <scribe> ACTION: Felix to create examples for defined terms (like
   "language range") [recorded in
   [27]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/09-i18ncore-minutes.html#action12]

   Felix: a general question: The editor's copy is already heavenly
   changed
   ... should we republish?

   Richard: If people reading the published version very often, you
   should republish, otherwise, you don't need to

   Francois: We should favor frequent publishing

   Richard: You don't want to publish s.t. if you are not confident
   about changes

   Felix: I'll try to make the LTLI changes tomorrow, so that you can
   have a look

WCAG review. [28]http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/

   weeks) [recorded in

next meeting(s)

   Richard: I'll be here next week, but not the two weeks after that

   Felix: I'll be away the next two weeks

   Francois: we should have a meeting next week. If Felix does the LTLI

   in two weeks

   Francois: technically, the identifiers have no impact at all
   ... giving a name to them has no impact on anything
   ... what we do
   ... it is more a human, than a technical thing

First letter styling

   Francois and Mary already left the call, but Vijay, Karunesh,
   Richard and Felix discussed this topic

   <karunesh> Felix: can you stay for a minute after meeting

   <karunesh> Felix are you there

   Hi Karunesh

   <karunesh> yes can we talk on the phone

   Sure, I'll dial in again

   Karunesh: Regarding the discussion on first letter styling for
   Indian languages:
   ... for Hindi and Dev. we discussed whether it should be graphemes
   or syllable
   ... maybe it would be more appropriate for the grapheme cluster
   ... for other languages, we are contacting other specialists
   ... we are waiting for their feedback

   Richard: great
   ... if you could send the conclusion via mail, to
   www-international@w3.org
   ... I saw a mail from Goutam who also talked about this
