Approval of minutes from Dec 11

<johnarwe_> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Dec/att-0030/20081211-sml-minutes.html

RESOLUTION: Minutes approved

Action 208

John: Action is complete, will be closed

Action 209

MSM: W3 webmaster auto-generated namespace docs for the old/obsolete SML-related namespaces

<johnarwe_> Email from MSM is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Dec/0038.html

MSM: Propose adding text to the auto-generated namespace docs declaring the namespaces to be obsolete/superseded

<johnarwe_> near the end, starting with NB, is an indented draft for "superseded"

RESOLUTION: Update the old namespace docs with text similar to that in the above referenced mail message

<scribe> ACTION: MSM to draft updates to old namespace docs [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/12/18-sml-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-210 - Draft updates to old namespace docs [on Michael Sperberg-McQueen - due 2008-12-25].

John: Propose updating current namespace docs to contain the text that the WG agreed to

<MSM> I see that strictly speaking what Kumar drafted was a 'namespace policy'. So perhaps the best action is to add the approved namespace policy to the current ns documents.

<MSM> draft policy provided 17 November at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Nov/0034.html

<johnarwe_> http://www.w3.org/ns/sml.html

<MSM> http://www.w3.org/ns/sml

<MSM> also resolves

RESOLUTION: Update the current namespace docs by appending the text re namespace policy that the WG has already approved

<johnarwe_> note: append was used in the colloquial sense of "incorporate", not the literal programmer sense

MSM: I also noted that some of the links are incorrect. I will fix those as well if the wg agrees.

RESOLUTION: Update the current namespace docs to accurately reflect the location of schema documents

<scribe> ACTION: MSM to update the current namespace docs by appending the text re namespace policy that the WG has already approved [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/12/18-sml-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-211 - Update the current namespace docs by appending the text re namespace policy that the WG has already approved [on Michael Sperberg-McQueen - due 2008-12-25].

<scribe> ACTION: MSM to update the current namespace docs to accurately reflect the location of schema documents [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/12/18-sml-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-212 - Update the current namespace docs to accurately reflect the location of schema documents [on Michael Sperberg-McQueen - due 2008-12-25].

John: Closing action 209

EPR ref scheme note

Kirk: Completed filling in bib reference info
... but having trouble with CVS

Len: Agrees to check in doc on behalf of Kirk

John: How will you convert Word doc to HTML?

Len: "Save as filtered HTML" in Word

MSM: Post-editing may be required to satisfy pubrules

Len: Volunteer to perform necessary post-conversion editing on both notes to satisfy pubrules

John: Do we want to review Word version of notes before conversion and editing?

Kirk: Propose that we perform conversion without additional review, will review HTML versions

RESOLUTION: Perform conversion of notes without additional review, will review HTML versions

<scribe> ACTION: Len to convert notes to HTML and satisfy pubrules [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/12/18-sml-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-213 - Convert notes to HTML and satisfy pubrules [on Len Charest - due 2008-12-25].

Bug 5492

(schema lines too long) No resolution. Editors have already expressed their view that it's not worth fixing, but for now MSM wishes have spend another hour on it himself before deciding to live with it.

Prescribed behavior of SML-IF with no schema docs included

COSMOS has interpreted the spec contrary to the intent of the WG

Conclusion: text is ambiguous

John: Shall we draft new text to clarify the issue?

RESOLUTION: Add text to the SML-IF spec to clarify WG intent around this issue

Cell formulas in feature-test-map sheet of XSLX spreadsheet

Ginny suggests that the cell formulas on the feature-test-map are incorrect.

Len: I looked at it, but I'm not the Excel guru you're looking for

John: Suggest Len ask Pratul for assistance

Feedback on draft implementation reports

<johnarwe_> sample impl reports... http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2008Dec/0032.html

John: Looking at the content of the Feature Name column in SMLFeatureImplementationReport.html, it appears that some decisions from previous WG meetings have not yet been incorporated into the spreadsheet

Len: Volunteers to grovel the minutes and make the appropriate updates to the spreadsheet

John: SMLTestCaseImplementationResults.html reveals some inconsistencies in the spreadsheet
... Need consensus on rows where expected result is missing or inconsistent
... Also need to express multiple primary features in such a way that spreadsheet<->XML round-tripping is preserved
... or drop XSLX in favor of XML version of data

Next meeting

John: WG is in recess for 3 weeks

<johnarwe_> 3 weeks to jan 8, since jan 1 is a holiday for virtually all in us
