> ACTION to Loren: Communicate with Michael as necessary

Still trying to get Michael to answer.

Henry reports that the IESG has tentatively approved the spec.
There we many comments made, though none requiring substantive
changes.  Henry is creating the final draft of the final version.

We are waiting for Wendy Seltzer to acknowledge that the W3C
is now the official change controller for all the XML related
media type registrations.

> 6.  XInclude 1.1--see http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xinclude

> On 9 October 2012, we published our FPWD of XInclude 1.1 at

>
> On 15 January 2013, we published our (first) Last Call of

> http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-xinclude-11-20130115/

> Norm reports that Michael Kay's code just accesses Xerces code,

> ACTION to Norm:  Continue to work toward getting XInclude 1.1

> Norm may see if he knows anyone still working on Xerces.
>
> Norm is planning to write a SAX filter to implement XInclude 1.1.

ACTION to Norm continued.

Note also the desire for another test case for the XInclude test suite per
