Norm has updated the SOTD accordingly.

> We expect to VOTE TO PUBLISH this as a first WD during
> this week's telcon--be ready!

Norm says the draft is ready except for the XML Schema
that Henry is planning to send later today.

Also, John thought xlink could not be nested, but Norm
thinks xlink can be nested, and he doesn't wish to change
this between XLink 1.0 and 1.1.  John now agrees that
links can be nested, so we will leave the wording as
Norm now has it.

Henry has sent in a new XML Schema, and John will
send in a new relaxng schema.

The WG had unanimous CONSENSUS to publish XLink 1.1 
as a first WD:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/

ACTIN to Paul: Send in the publication request for
XLink 1.1 to be published as a first WD (tomorrow
morning).

Richard sent email:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0055

But he points out that he doesn't suggest we make this
change until and unless we change the references to 2396
to 3986.

Richard suggests we defer this erratum for now.

CONSENSUS to defer this erratum for now.

ACTION to Francois:  Make a PE for this topic and record
Richard's email but note that we will defer the resolution
of this PE until further notice (e.g., when we change the
references from 2396 to 3986).

CONSENSUS to use Norm's new paragraph from

reflect Norm's new paragraph.

Norm sent email for PEX1 and PEX2 at:

ACTION to Norm:  Send on the response to the commentor.

Francois sent email:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0052

He thinks the XInclude spec is clear enough in that RFC 3023
already says *+xml are of type XML.  As far as svg+xml which
doesn't have a charset parameter, one just does the usual
fallback for determining charset, so once again, we don't 
need to change the spec.

CONSENSUS to leave the spec as is and reply to the commentor
along the lines of Francois' email.

ACTION to Francois:  Reply to the commentor.

ACTION to DV:  Update the PE doc.

ACTION continued.

Dan Connolly raised a new issue: he wants us to have tests
demonstrating xml:id working with CSS (and the DOM, etc.).

Norm isn't sure how to test this.  It requires a change to
CSS implementations.

ACTION to Paul:  Raise this issue at the XML CG and/or CSS
WG to see what can be done.

> 
> 8.  Associating stylesheets--awaiting TAG action.
> 
> ACTION to Henry:  Raise this issue at the TAG level
> (or just bring it back to us).

Henry noticed that the HTML CG has run into the same issue.
There is an interaction between media types and secondary
resource, and there appears to be no consensus on the HTML CG
as to what should be the case.

Henry asked the HTML CG if they felt this issue should be
taken to the TAG, but being as he just asked them, there 
hasn't yet been a response.

ACTION to Henry:  Continue to see if this issue should
be brought to the TAG.

> 
> 9.  absolutivity of [base URI]
>     Norm has asked a question about the absolutivity of [base URI]:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Feb/0031
> 
> We discussed this at our f2f:
> http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/02/xml-f2f-20050303-minutes.htm#base-uri
> 
> We have CONSENSUS that base URIs are always absolute. 
> 
> The last sentence of the first 
> paragraph of section 5.1 of RFC 3986 says "If the base 
> URI is obtained from a URI reference, then that reference 
> must be converted to absolute form and stripped of any 
> fragment component prior to its use as a base URI."
> 
> Since the infoset and xml:base refer to 2396, it's not 
> clear whether the fragment identifier is part of the 
> infoset's [base URI] or not as life stands today. 
> 
> Richard: In 2396, base URIs can have fragment identifiers,
> but this doesn't matter because they aren't used when doing
> absolutization or determining if there is a same document ref.
> 
> In 3986, base URIs don't have fragment ids, and again this 
> doesn't matter for resolution, but it is essential that it
> be stripped off for the determine of whether something is a
> same document reference.
> 
> In the infoset, we do expose the base URI as a property, and 
> if we were to switch xml:base and XML itself from 2396 to 
> 3986, the value of the base URI property would be different.
> Richard isn't sure we want to do that.
> 
> ACTION to Richard:  Draft a message for Roy et al. and send
> to the XML Core WG for discussion (later, to be sent to
> the uri group and the tag).

Richard sent email at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0056

ACTION to Richard:  Send on the email to www-tag.

No one on the WG supports Rich, and some of us (Norm)
doesn't really understand just what Rich is requesting
in terms of an actual change.  But the discussion isn't
over just yet.

We didn't have much time to discuss this topic on this telcon,
but Norm and Henry both lean toward making it an issue for
the XML Schema WG, so we are waiting to hear from them.
