XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2013 October 21

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon is October 30. John is at risk.


**** NOTE:  On October 30, we will be in the period where
the UK and Europe as ended daylight time but North America
is still observing daylight time.  Given that our telcon
time is based on local time in Boston, callers in the UK
and Europe will need to call in one hour EARLIER on Oct 30.


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

Submitting XML Schema 1.1 to ISO
--------------------------------
Liam raised the question of whether the W3C should submit
XML Schema 1.1 as an ISO standard; some discussion ensued:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Oct/thread#msg28

On the call, most of us were luke warm at best, but
we need to hear from David to see how enthusiastic he
is about pushing this through and doing the editorial work.
Loren offered to do some editorial work.

ACTION to David: Express your opinion of making XML Schema 1.1
and ISO standard including your willingness to direct the effort.


XML Media types (3023bis)
-------------------------
The latest (diff marked) draft (now October 16 dated 2013 ) is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-03_diff.html

Comments and resolutions at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/02-comments.html

Please note in particular that a significant addition has been made to
section 3.6 [1], to address the fact that the XML spec. itself defers
to this spec. to define the precedence of charset parameter [in the
http header], BOM and XML encoding declaration [both in the document].

The key new paragraph reads:

  All processors SHOULD treat a BOM (Section 4) as authoritative
  if it is present in an XML MIME entity.  In the absence of a BOM
  (Section 4), all processors SHOULD treat the charset parameter as
  authoritative. Section 4.3.3 of the [XML] specification does _not_
  make it an error for the charset parameter and the XML encoding
  declaration to be inconsistent.

ACTION to John:  Review the latest 3023-bis draft.

ACTION to Henry: Implement all Paul's and John's editorial
comments made earlier at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Sep/0010
and
