XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2007 April 30

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon will be May 9.

Status and open actions
=======================

XML clarification
-----------------
Norm sent email about < in attribute values at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Apr/0006
Richard replied at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Apr/0007

Henry doesn't see why Richard's explanation makes the problem go
away.  Glenn explains it, but Henry points out that more explanation
would be useful--at least in the test, and maybe in the spec.

Glenn suggested putting something in the table near the end (4.4)
if we put anything in the spec.

Henry suggests adding an example such as this case to Appendix D
(in XML 1.0 4th Ed).

ACTION to Glenn:  Suggest some wording/example to add to the spec
that covers the "< in attribute value" issue (actually, internal 
entity in attributes).


C14N 1.1
--------
The Last Call ends today.

ACTION to Glenn:  Check the comments list.

ACTION to Glenn:  Produce a DoC and CR draft.


HRRI RFC
--------
Norm's latest draft was published as an ID at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-walsh-tobin-hrri-00.txt


XML 1.0/1.1
-----------
ACTION to Francois:  Update the PE document per previous 
telcons' decisions.

On PE 157, John sent email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Oct/0036
with his suggested response and a question for the WG:

> Should we add specific references to UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, CESU-8,
> etc. etc. to 4.3.3?  If so, we might as well remove "We consider the
> first case first" from Appendix F; it's more than obvious.

We agreed that, according to the spec, such a character is not a BOM.

We have decided that John's email should be sent to the commentor
as a response (done, see [11]), and that the only change resulting from 
this PE are some editorial changes as outlined in John's email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Dec/0056

ACTION to Francois:  Update the PE document with John's editorial
changes as the proposed resolution to PE 157.

----

John sent email about a new PE related to UTF-8 BOM at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Dec/0067
proposing the following language as a new paragraph in 4.3.3
for both XML 1.0 and XML 1.1:

	If the replacement text of an external entity is to
	begin with the character U+FEFF, and no text declaration
	is present, then a Byte Order Mark MUST be present,
	whether the entity is encoded in UTF-8 or UTF-16.

ACTION to Francois:  Add a new PE per John's comments above
and make some suggested resolution wording.


XInclude
--------
We got a comment about the XInclude spec at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Jan/0013

Paul suggested some specific wording to clarify the xi:fallback at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Jan/0023

Henry suggested wording to clarify xml:lang fixup at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Jan/0022

We had CONSENSUS to make these editorial errata.

ACTION to Daniel:  Process these as (editorial) errata to the
latest XInclude spec.
