[XSCH] report on telecon

Apologies for lateness of this message.

On Friday 9th I attended the XML Schema WG call.

The minutes are at:

The conversation centred around the two substantive issues:

User defined datatypes
======================

I agreed that we would review their latest work on SCD, which may 
address the need for uris for user defined datatypes.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xmlschema-ref-20040309/
(last public version)

Value Space Comparisons
=======================

They were clear that this overlapped with the work of XQuery and others. 
In particular the Functions and Operators work.

(last public version)


On process they felt that it important that we also invite the XQuery 
people who have work on F&O to participate as well. There was some 
enthusiasm for assigning XML Schema WG participants to the TF 
immediately, but overall they wanted to see that we had done the review 
work first.

Hence, at this weeks telecon (for which I think I may need to send 
regrets) it would be good if some participants in the task force can 
take the action to review these two documents:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/07/WD-xmlschema-ref-20040708/
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/xsl-query-specs/xquery-operators/xpath-functions.html

I will take an action to review both, and I am happy to make the first 
pass, to identify the crucial sections relevant to us. I will also be 
happy to take an action to contact the F&O people.

We may also wish to discuss the impact of the status of these docs. The 
first is a WD, the second is in Last Call.
