J1.1 Selection of secretary(s)

Liam took minutes.



Most recent secretaries (least-recent participants first):
----------------------------------------------------------
(This list identifies the most recent three occasions when each 
participant acted as Secretary for the Task Force.  The person whose 
name is at the top of the list should plan to take the minutes at
the 
meeting identified by this agenda; if that person is unavailable,
then 
the job will fall to the next person on the list, etc.

29419. 
Note also comment #11.
 
Status: Pending; ETA 2016-05-17


ACTION A-640-02: Mdyck to implemented proposal in the appendix A of
the 
XPath and XQuery specs as described in 2b. Also to make change in
the 
applet and ensure tests cases are updated in the test suite. 
Primary one is map-constructor.  See: 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0035.html

- part a) Change spec - DONE
- part b) Change applets
- part c) Change test suite

Status: Pending; ETA not specified.

Found there were rather a lot of changes needed but hit a snag; see
J4.4.3


ACTION A-640-03: Jonathan to document the decision: Partial function 
application never returns a map or an array. if $F is a map or an
array 
then $F(?) is legal, it returns a function and the function is not a
map 
or an array.

Status: Pending; ETA 2016-05-17


ACTION A-640-04: Jonathan Robie to resolve Bug #29277 by making the 
changes from comment #20 items 2 and 5. 

Status: Pending; ETA 2016-05-17


ACTION A-641-01 on Liam to make the front page of the old test suite 
documentation (
https://dev.w3.org/2006/xquery-test-suite/PublicPagesStagingArea/) 
essentially say that the 1.0 test suite is superseded by the 3.0
test 
suite (which identifies those tests that are suitable for running
under 
1.0). Also to update the links (or their annotation) appearing on 
https://www.w3.org/XML/Query/#hardcore.

done

ACTION A-641-02 (bug 29555) MK to propose a precise algorithm for 
computing min and max width of a format-date component; also define
an error when min>max.

needed.

Status: Pending; ETA not specified.

this 
bug.

Status: Pending; ETA not specified.

tests that require construction of dates with negative years should
have an alternative result of error FODT0001.

done

ACTION A-641-07 (bug 29573) (fallback language and calendar) OND to 
implement the resolution: make the test assertion more liberal, ie.
do not 
require anything that the spec doesn't require. (Done by MK after
the meeting)

done


ACTION A-641-08 (bug 29590) (Circularities) OND to implement the 
resolution: change the test so there is no possibility of infinite 
function-call recursion

done


ACTION A-641-09 (bug 29547) (year zero) OND to apply the resolution:
make 
these tests (a) dependent on support for XSD 1.1, and (b) allow an 
FODT0001 result for implementations whose minimum year is 0001.

pending, ETA 10th May

ACTION A-641-10 (bug 29589) (multiple module imports) MK to apply 
documentation changes to explain the expectations of the test suite 
<module> element. (DONE after the meeting).

is acceptable where the specification mandates a decimal.

done

ACTION A-641-13 (bug 29571) on Jonathan and Tim to agree a Note to
add to 
the spec to make it clear to readers that when T is a list type, T(x)
cast as T will typically fail.

In progress, note drafted by Tim but not yet sent to Jonathan

ACTION A-641-14 on Jonathan and Michael Dyck to agree revised wording
to resolve the potential ambiguity in the resolution of action
A-636-08 as described in 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Apr/0020.html
.


ACTION A-641-15 (bug 29576) (date/time limits) on Jonathan to apply

J1.6 Update on related activities

J1.6.1 Update on XSLT WG activities (Sharon, MikeK)



J1.6.2 Update on EXPath/EXQuery CG activities (Mike)

Mike has raised a bug agsint XSLT about inconsistancies in some of the
XML to JSON functions.

J1.7 Future Meetings

J1.7.1 QT Meeting Schedule

[V45] Joint XML Query/XSL WG meeting schedule
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-query/2016Apr/0000.html



J1.7.2 Future F2F Meetings

J1.7.2.1 Other future F2F meetings

(none)


J2. Documents For Review

(none)



J3. Maintenance Issues

J3.0 The XML Query WG and XSLT WG do not intend to maintains specs 
earlier than the 3.0 suite of documents; when the 3.1 suite reaches 
Recommendation, maintenance of the 3.0 documents will be terminated.

This agenda item is reserved for reporting errors and other problems 
reported against the 3.0 (later, 3.1) suite of specifications.


J3.0.1 Concerns raised by the XSLT working group in regards to
potential
completion delays of XSLT 3.0 if XPath 3.0 is made obsoleted by 3.1

Status: Pending the outcome of Abel's review of 3.0 bugs/errata.
        Any change to the status of the 3.0 specs requires explicit
XSL WG
        consultation. 


J3.1 Bugzilla Bugs filed against the 3.0 suite of joint XML Query WG
and 
XSLT WG documents

(none)



J4. Active Specification Development


** Note: Full Text 3.1 has been removed from the WG agenda.
If, in the future, there is sufficient interest (i.e. at least two
independent participants to develop the spec and implementations),
then this can be brought back on the agenda.

J4.2.1 Bug 29555 - [FO31] 9.8.4.2 The Width Modifier
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29555

Status: Pending completion of A-641-02

Mike Kay did some work on fractional seconds but questions came up on
other
areas, and in particular the interaction of width modifier and
separator.
I've filled in another gap in the patchwork of rules...

Josh notes there may still be some weird corner cases but it's probably
OK.
Year truncation is a "should" - do we want to keep it that way?

ACTION A-642-01 Mike Kay to incorporate changes for 29555 into F&O
for width modifiers


J4.2.2 Bug 29588 - [fo31] xml-to-json - rules for duplicate keys
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29588

We rely on the Schema rules for uniqueness (for keys) but that doesn't
quite have the desired effect. It disallows some keys that are not
duplicates
and allows some that are.

If you create JSON it's not a problem, but from XML the schema and spec
today don't prevent problems.

Mike proposes making the prose normative as it's too hard to express in
a Schema.

ACTION A-642-02 Mike Kay to implement the change he suggested in bug
29588
to make the prose normative for duplicate keys


J4.2.3 Bug 29593 - [FO31] search terms
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29593

ACTION A-642-03 Mike Kay to make editorial change in 29593 (search
terms)

J4.2.4 Bug 29496 - [FO31] parse-ietf-date with military timezones
and leniency towards single-digit numbers
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29496

Status: REOPENED: Ready to discuss

DECISION: for bug 29496, retain status quo with no further changes,
allowing TZ 130.

(UnaryExpr) and limits for -9223372036854775808, which cannot be
parsed
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29419

Status: Pending completion of A-637-02
This bug was reopened after this action item was raised - is there
more to 
discuss on this?



J4.4.3 (new item)
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016May/0000.html

Josh: over 100 tests will have to be changed and some reasonable things
will be made into syntax errors.

Prefer to change NCName production.

MDyck: we had two alternatives, Josh's and the path we took, to
disallow.
In the first, we'd change how things were parsed.

Revisiting the original decision to require the space in all cases;
looking for an unambiguous solution that's less invasive than the
current (new) approach.

Applets already operate under assumption 1 and have been for years.

Mike Kay OK with option 1; Tim also OK; both have been waiting.

No objections to changing previous decision to option 1.

based on implemention feedback from josh and MDyck's applet,
we encounter fewer problems with option w - March message 35
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0035.html
option 1a.

Josh and MDyck have both implemented something closer to 1b but that
requires more spec changes. But support 1a in the spec.

DECISION: revert NCName:*/*:NCName change to option 1a as per
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0035.html


ACTION A-642-04 Josh to create test cases for NCName:* change to 1b in
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0035.html

ACTION A-642-05 MDyck to update the spec to reflect NCName:*/*:NCName
change to option 1a as per
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Mar/0035.html
