Henry questioned our decision.  Norm and Henry discussed it
a bit; Richard and Glenn were absent.

ACTION to Henry:  Research whether Mimasa is correct in that he
cannot now make xml:space fixed and either Reply to him telling
how to do it or to the WG otherwise.
 Already done: 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Aug/0013

ACTION to Henry:  Check his schema collection to see if anyone 
is using xml:space in an interesting way and see if this leads
us to want to change the current declaration of xml:space.

The WG approved both PEs for final resolution.

ACTION to Francois:  Process both PEs as Errata as described above.

We discussed the details of this document a bit and decided
that we just had to touch on the "Reviewer reply unaddressed"
ones, xi-2 and xi-12.

> I thought we got some push back from Elliotte that requires that we
> indicate review non-acceptance of our resolution, but I don't see that

xi-2 : Syntactically incorrect IRIs in href attributes
------------------------------------------------------
We decided to leave IRI validation up to the implementation.
ERH objects to doing so, but Daniel's implementation is a
case in point where IRI validation is not feasible.

So the WG reconfirms our previous decision.

xi-12 : xml:lang implementation report
--------------------------------------
ERH would prefer that we drop the language property from 
xinclude processing.  Specifically:
  I see no need to introduce a new property for the element
  information item to have the desired effect. It would be
  much simpler and more consistent with existing specs and
  APIs to define this purely in terms of attributes.

The WG's understanding of the request from I18N and the TAG
in this area leads us to reconfirm our previous decision.

ACTION to Jonathan:  Augment the DoC to point to our 
reconfirmations above.

Relaxing the constraint that there be one ID per element.
---------------------------------------------------------
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2004Apr/0012

We currently say that multiple ids are an error.  

Schema 1.1 is thinking of allowing multiple ids (though opinion
is still split on this).

We want to make sure that the xml:id spec is agnostic wrt whether 
there is more than one thing of type id on one elemnt, as this is 
a property of the validation mechanism.  

Currently, the spec says nothing in this regard, so it is, in fact,
agnostic.  Therefore, we have no action.

So the reply to the comment is that the xml:id spec has no such
constraint, so there is nothing to relax.

ACTION to DoC maintainer:  Record this resolution and reply to
the commentor.

ACTION to Norm:  Raise a new issue about whether we need to fix 
the references property as far as the behavior when no xml:id 
declaration is available.

ERH asking for something simpler.
---------------------------------
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2004Apr/0015

We have thought about this a lot and can't think of anything
simpler that works.  We need to work through the infoset, and
we believe this is simpler than enumerating the behavior of
all existing APIs and interfaces.

Norm had a suggested rewording to simplify the spec (collapsing
section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and/or making them non-normative appendices).

ACTION to Norm:  Produce such a draft after getting the latest
sources from Daniel.
