XML Resource Identifier is the term Francois defined.

Francois' email is at:
[not yet available, but see

for Wed, Jan 18]
This will go into XLink 1.1 as a separate section.  
Then we can do it as an erratum for XML 1.0 and 1.1.
Then we would produce XML 1.0 4th Ed and 1.1 2nd Ed.
XInclude and xml:base (and probably NS 1.1) we do 
errata pointing them to the new editions of XML or 
if we're in a bigger hurry, errata quoting the whole 
text.  (We don't want to point the lower specs to XLink.)  

ACTION to Richard:  Look at this wrt putting into NS 1.1.

We do have a suggestion from Murata-san at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2005Dec/0000
that we process such an erratum against NS 1.0.

We're not sure what we think about this yet.

In progress.  Norm prefers Friday afternoon.

There is a namespace PE:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2005Dec/0001

Richard's suggested resolutions are at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2005Dec/0002

CONSENSUS with Richard's suggested resolutions.

These would be errata to both NS 1.0 and 1.1.

ACTION to Richard:  Update the NS PE doc and Errata documents.

Glenn did so at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Jan/0012

The email includes a discussion on whether an erratum to C14N 1.0
or a C14N 1.1 would be less disruptive.  There was no consensus
among the discussants of this thread.

The XML Core WG has consensus to stick with a C14N 1.1 as chartered.

Henry points out we could produce a 1.1 and use the old identifier.
But Norm doesn't think we can do that.

We seem to be ready to produce a first WD of C14N 1.1.

ACTION to Glenn:  Produce an actual first editor's draft of C14N 1.1.
