Addison Phillips of I18N sent email about 
Unicode Normalization in XML 1.0 5th Ed.; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Feb/0019

Allowing canonical equivalents to be treated as identical 
directly in XML implies that an element's start tag and
end tag could be character-for-character different.  This
is not currently the case--such would be not well-formed
and the input is therefore not XML--and the WG does not want 
to make it the case.

We had no objections to adding some "motherhood" notes saying 
that XML producers SHOULD produce normalized output.

We are still considering whether we should put XML 1.1 wording
about normalization checking into XML 1.0.

ACTION to Henry:  Discuss with others at the AC meeting
the possibility of adding to XML 1.0 via erratum the 
"should" normalization checking from XML 1.1.

Paul provided a status update to Addison and I18N at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0005

-----

HTML request for clearer XML serialization
------------------------------------------
Henry raised the issue that HTML folks think the XML
spec is broken because it doesn't define error recovery
and doesn't discuss serialization.

ACTION to Henry:  Send email to the XML Core WG list
outlining the suggestion to define a serialization spec
including the rationale.

Overlap between Powder and LEIRIs
---------------------------------
At
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0006
Henry writes:

Please review section 2.1.3 of the forthcoming draft of Protocol for
Web Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping of Resources [1]:  It
says things about e.g. entity expansion which I think at risk of
confusing proper layering, and it also doesn't seem to recognise the
LEIRI spec.

Unfortunately, this is already a PR, and I'm not sure I can wrap my
head around this just now without help and we don't have a telcon
scheduled until April 8.  If anyone has any ideas, please send email.

Pointer Methods in RDF
----------------------
The ERT WG has issued a FPWD entitled "Pointer Methods in RDF":
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-Pointers-in-RDF-20090310/

This seems to overlap with XPointer (or it should). 

Norm reviewed this for the XML Core WG at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0014
and there has been some follow up email discussion.
Norm had two points, one about the use of ptr:XMLNamespace
and another about their pointing into XML documents
using byte/character offsets and such.

-----

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 as requested at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0001
that they be allowed to use "xml-model" as a processing instruction
target name token.

7.  xml:id

The xml:id Recommendation is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-xml-id-20050909/

John Cowan submitted a proposed erratum at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Jan/0009
and the WG had Consensus to do as follows:

 The sentence "A document that uses xml:id attributes that 
 have a declared type other than xs:ID will always generate 
 xml:id errors" in Appendix D.3 should be deleted.

ACTION to Henry:  Update the Errata document at
http://www.w3.org/2005/09/xml-id-errata

ACTION to Henry:  Think about the appropriateness of
the same sentence in Appendix D.2.

Norm has prepared a DoC at 
http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/05/xlinklc/

ACTION to Norm:  Update the DoC.

ACTION to Norm:  Update XLink 1.1 to refer to the LEIRI note.

There's an open question about whether the XSD/DTD 
should default the xlink:type attribute value. 
None of this effects our last call because the
XSD/DTD are not normative.

ACTION to Henry, John:  Produce a basic level
conformance XSD and RelaxNG schema for XLink.

We plan to skip CR and going directly to PR.

Paul drafted a PR transition request at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0013

The Implementation Report at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/01/xlink11-implementation
is pitiful.  We'll need to augment this to be able to request PR.

Simon Cox, on behalf of the Open Geospatial Consortium, has
asked some questions about the XLink 1.1 XML Schema:
