The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

year, as we are cancelling the telcon on December 26.  After the
telcon of December 12, the next telcon will be 2013 January 9.


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

New charter
-----------
Our current charter expires in January.

Liam has started a draft charter at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2013/xml-core-charter.html

Paul already posted some (mostly editorial) comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0017

John sent some suggested wording about MicroXML at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0019

Liam implemented Paul's suggestions ($Date: 2012-11-28 03:11:12 $),
then Paul sent more email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0023

During the telcon, we had consensus agreement with Paul's latest
suggestions (which included using John's wording).

ACTION to Liam:  Implement Paul's suggestions at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0023
in the next version of the draft new charter.


xml-stylesheet and HTML5
------------------------
This was discussed at the TPAC f2f.  The conclusion was
for Norm to pass on to the HTML5 WG suggested text for a
non-normative note to be included in the HTML5 1.0 spec
which he did:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14689#c35

The latest draft we've seen is dated 08 November 2012 at
http://htmlwg.org/cr/html/
and we don't see our requested wording therein.

Norm checked with Robin who said he says there's another
draft expected that will have the note.

ACTION to Norm:  Continue to track mention of xml-stylesheet
PI in the HTML5 spec.

Names that begin [Xx][Mm][Ll]
-----------------------------
This was discussed at the TPAC f2f.

Norm: proposed erratum

   s/in this or future versions of this specification/
    /in this or future specifications from the XML Core WG or its successors/

Henry: I'm perfectly happy to entertain a motion to remove this from
this specification and retain the "xml:" prefix only for elements and
attributes and "xml-" only for PI targets.

Norm: I'd prefer to make explicit that you *can* write names that
begin "xml", but doing so exposes you to being walked on in the
future. So don't do that.

Jirka: I can go either way, it's always been a restriction, users
should know better, but there are lots of documents that use it,
so we should adapt to common practice.

ACTION to Norm:  Draft an erratum to "reserve" xml-* for PI targets
and delete the restriction that we lay claim to other names that
start with "xml".


xmlspec.xsl and diffspec.xsl
----------------------------
Paul sent email about this at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0014

ACTION to Norm:  Come up with (and implement) a plan to
reorganize xmlspec.xsl and diffspec.xsl to "do the right thing."


XInclude 1.1
------------
On 2012 February 14, we published
XInclude 1.1 Requirement and Use Cases
http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude-11-requirements/

On 9 October 2012, we published our FPWD of XInclude 1.1 at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/WD-xinclude-11-20121009/

This was discussed at the TPAC f2f and there was agreement
on how to use MIME content types for the value of the parse
attribute.

Norm produced another draft dated 29 November 2012 at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/08/xinclude-11/
and Paul commented on that at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0031

ACTION to Norm:  Process Paul's comments, replying and updating
the draft as appropriate.
