Publication Request: XInclude 1.1 as a Last Call Working Draft

The XML Core WG requests publication of
XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.1
currently staged at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2013/01/xinclude-11/
as a Last Call Working Draft of a recommendation-track
document.

The URL cited above is for the most recent draft
version of the draft as of 11 January 2013, designed to
be published on January 15 by having the directory
moved over to
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-xinclude-11-20130115/
in its entirety.  We believe it satisfies all relevant
pubrules.

The WG's decision to request transition to Last Call was taken
during a WG telcon on January 9 whose minutes may be found at

SCHEDULE

We propose a publication date of 15 January 2013.


PROPOSED TITLE, ABSTRACT AND STATUS SECTIONS

XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.1

Abstract
--------
This document specifies a processing model and syntax for general
purpose inclusion. Inclusion is accomplished by merging a number
of XML information sets into a single composite infoset.
Specification of the XML documents (infosets) to be merged and
control over the merging process is expressed in XML-friendly
syntax (elements, attributes, URI references).

Status of this Document
-----------------------
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of
current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical
report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at
http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This is a Last Call Working Draft of XInclude 1.1 for review by
W3C Members and other interested parties.  The Last Call period
ends 22 February 2013.

XInclude 1.1 adds some upward-compatible enhancements to the
XInclude 1.0 Recommendation as discussed in the XInclude 1.1
Requirement and Use Cases document. The three key enhancements
can be summarized as follows:

* added support for a fragment identifier into text/plain content,

* additional processing to allow for "annotating" the post-included
   infoset with further information, and

* allow implementations the flexibility to support additional |parse|
   values.

This document has been produced by the W3C XML Core Working Group 
<http://www.w3.org/XML/Core/> as
part of the XML Activity <http://www.w3.org/XML/Activity>. The Working 
Group expects to advance this
Working Draft to Recommendation Status.

obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite
this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5 February 2004

made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also

actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains
Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with
section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
