Re: Draft minutes of Jan 5, 2005 telecon

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the timely draft minutes. A few comments/corrections below.

Le mercredi 05 janvier 2005 à 16:11 -0800, Patrick Curran a écrit :
> 3) TAG-QA about Umbrella specification and Process Document

Karl pointed that he really meant "AB-QA" rather than "TAG-QA", so it's
probably worth fixing this in the minutes.

I think that Karl said something slightly different, that is that SVG
1.2 is only defined as a diff to 1.1, which is really not a good way to
define a technology on its own. Karl, can you confirm, amend?

CSS3 was also mentioned as a potential example, I reckon.

I mentioned that the comparison with WebArch was a good one, and that we
can get inspiration from their implementation report.

> KD: we have been told during CR that we must have two complete implementations

should read "We had been told at our previous CR transition call that we
must show 2 complete implementations"
