             ready to close without further discussion. If that
             proves incorrect, any necessary discussion will
             defered until the other [17]Pending Review Items slot
             later in this call.
           + Actions to be closed:
                o [18]ACTION-769: on - Noah Mendelsohn - Informally
                  inform Jeff that we did not at this time identify
                  urgent technical matters for his consideration -
                  PENDING REVIEW ([19]Note to Jeff) was sent
     5. [20]ISSUE-67 (HTML-XML-Divergence-67): HTML / XML
        Unification
           + Norm Walsh will be joining us by phone for this
             session
           + Goals:
                o Consider the request from Henri Sivonen that the
                  TAG [21]Rescind the request to the HTML WG to
                  develop a polyglot guide
           + Background:
                o [22]E-mail from Sam Ruby (26 March 2010)
                  conveying to HTML WG the TAG's request that a
                  "there should be in TR space a document which
                  specifies how one can create a set of bits which
                  can be served EITHER as text/html OR as
                  application/xhtml+xml, which will work
                  identically in a browser in both bases."
                o Sam's request appears to be a follow-on to a
                  joint discussion between the TAG and the HTML
                  working group chairs which occurred on 24 March
                  2010 ([23]minutes). Tim Berners-Lee is quoted in
                  those minutes as saying "I want that there should
                  be in TR space a document which specifies how I
                  can create a set of bits which I can server
                  EITHER as text/html OR as xhtml+xml, which will
                  work in a browser in both cases, as Sam does on
                  his web site." (typos fixed [Noah]).
                o W3C Working Group Note [24]HTML/XML Task Force
                  Report W3C Working Group Note 9 February 2012
                o Request from Henri Sivonen that the TAG
                  [25]Rescind the request to the HTML WG to develop
                  a polyglot guide ([26]Henri and the [27]HTML
                  working group chairs clarify that this request is
                  from Henri as an individual, not formally on
                  behalf of the HTML working group. Nonetheless, it
                  will be useful to the working group to have
                  guidance within the next two weeks.)
                o [28]Comments on Henri's request from Larry
                  Masinter
     6. Pending Review Items:
           + [29]Pending review actions in [30]Tracker
     7. Overdue Action Items:
           + [31]Overdue actions in [32]Tracker
