Open XInclude potential errata

See
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/proposed-xinclude-errata
for the latest XInclude PE document.  See
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/02/xml-f2f-20050303-minutes.htm#xinclude
for our f2f minutes on this topic.


PEX2 URI or IRI errors handling
-------------------------------
At our f2f, we said:

 We don't expect implementors of XInclude to
 implement IRI processing, so whatever ends up
 happening with respect to IRIs isn't really the
 fault of the XInclude processor. However, we
 don't want to license such behavior, so we
 don't want to change our current wording here.
 [Paul doesn't really understand how to explain
 this, so someone else will have to write the
 proposed response here.]

Someone needs to draft the proposed response.


PEX3 What is an error
---------------------
At our f2f, we said (among other things):

 As far as the case with accept="foo" (mentioned
 in the comment), the definition of the accept
 attribute in section 3.1 does not make this an
 XInclude error of any kind, though it may cause
 an error in a lower level that might result in a
 resource error, for example. Those present didn't
 seem quite satisfied with this resolution, so after
 some discussion, we decided to revisit this later.


PEX5 XML encoding detection in parse="text"
-------------------------------------------
See the PE document.


PEX11 Reference to RFC 2279 should be RFC 3629
----------------------------------------------
This is the RFC for UTF-8. We note that 2279 is 
listed in the normative references but there is 
actually no reference to it in the document. 

We will ask François for his opinion of how to 
handle this. Note that 3629 has a section about 
the BOM.


PEX14 What if encoding is not an EncName?
-------------------------------------------
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2004Oct/0000
ERH asks "what should I do if the encoding attribute 
does not satisfy [XML 1.0's EncName] production [81]
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-EncName>?


PEX15 XPointers with percent escapes: what type of error?
-----------------------------------------------------------
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2004Oct/0008
ERH says:

 Since the xpointer attribute is not a URI reference,
 %-escaping must not appear in the XPointer.... [He
 suggests clarifying that such would be] a resource
 error rather than a fatal error.
