Henry reports that IJ would be happy to see the WG produce a Note.

Paul wants the WG Note to be the complete spec so that someone
can reference it.

We talked about details.

Paul wants to draft the note first as a starting point from which
ISO can write their spec--in coordination with us and as we redraft
our Note to keep it in sync--and then when they have a final spec,
we will finalize our Note with a reference to the ISO spec.

Henry, Norm, and Chris discussed 3023-bis at TPAC and redrafted
parts about fragment identifiers.

Mostly editorial, but Paul did request the addition of a para:

 Because applications are not required to support schemes other
 than the 'element' scheme, use of other schemes can reduce
 universal interoperability; such use SHOULD be carefully
 considered in each case.

ACTION to Paul:  Make sure Chris has seen these comments.

At present, there is nothing for our WG to do here until and
unless the W3C membership recharters us to develop a way to
take non-XML and make it XML.

The wording in question was in 2nd Ed, so we will file a PE
and consider fixing it in the 4th Ed.

ACTION to Henry:  Re-tell Bjoern our plan to consider this in an
erratum but not change it in this 3rd Ed.

ACTION to Henry:  Record Bjoern's comment as a PE against NS 1.0.

ACTION to Henry:  Take NS 1.0 3rd Ed to Rec.

Consensus to take NS 1.0 3rd Ed to Rec despite the one outstanding
objection.

Paul sent "remaining issues" email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Nov/0088
with the following issues:

more restrictive location for xml-stylesheet PIs
------------------------------------------------
We probably need to allow, but discourage, x-s PIs in the
internal and external subsets.

ACTION to Henry:  Suggest some actual wording.

constraints on pseudo-attribute values
--------------------------------------
Paul is concerned that the document constraints on the values 
of the pseudo-attributes (1) were not what we decided when
discussing issues earlier and (2) are in some cases more
restrictive than what the 1st edition requires (even by
reference to HTML4).

Henry isn't sure about the whole processor/document dicotomy
on constraints.  (For the record, Paul didn't expect that
dicotomy either and thought we'd just stick to constraints
on processors, but I think I can live with constraints on
documents as long as we can agree on those constraints.)

Note on same document reference from the PI
-------------------------------------------
The 1st Ed has a note that is no longer in the draft 2nd Ed.
Paul wondered if we should include it, and Henry did thinks so.

Acknowledgements
----------------
Paul still hates acknowledgement sections and would like to
see it deleted.  Simon wants it.  No one else has expressed
an opinion, and perhaps no one else cares.

I note that the Editors are listed as Simon and Henry, but
not James.  It has been customary to include editors of
previous editions and add names to later editions.  I suggest
that we put back James' name as the first entry in the list
of editors.

Given that there are no Acknowledgements in the 1st Edition,
I submit that the status quo for this spec is for there to
be no Acknowledgements section.  Therefore, if no one else
expresses an opinion, there will be no Acknowledgements.  
If we get a majority of WG members expressing a preference
for adding an Acknowledgements section, we will do so.
