   <DavidClarke> I have a little info share. IE8 is intending to be W3
   standards compliant, with a sting in the tail though.

     [20] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4850#c3

   <DavidClarke> I agree

   <r12a> ACTION: Felix to contact XML Schema to ask them not to close
   language validation issue before we've seen the wording [recorded in

Canonical XML to PR

   two things that might be a problem

   1. removed NFC requirement for C14N XML output

   2. reference 3986 instead of 3987 and use the term uri where we
   think they should mean iri

   andrew: why was normalization removed:

   addison: xml processors not really supporting for data; data model
   is a separate matter
   ... C14N is consistent with late normalization (current state of
   charmodnorm), but not consistent with our historical position

   andrew: not a lot of data sets extant that are affected (such as
   Vietnamese)

   felix: what did you propose saying?

   addison: specifically approve of transition, calling out the issues
   and our positions on them

   <fsasaki> felix: understanding the issues as "C14N 1.1. is
   consistent with charmod direction not to require early normalization
   anymore. We are pleased to see xpath model"

   addison: they *say* URI a lot and what we want are IRIs ... or at
   least LEIRIs

   richard: need to troll the archives on that; should probably say
   something about it

   addison: add normative reference to 3987 and reference IRI or LEIRI

   felix: needs a clarification

   richard: at least a note?

   <scribe> ACTION: Addison: contact C14N XML about IRI issue and seek
   resolution [recorded in

   addison: what about normalization?

   richard: should put a note in recommending

   <scribe> ACTION: Addison: check C14N XML 1.1 for health warning on
   normalization and comment appropriately if there is not one

Agenda for next time

   felix: agenda+ styling in HTML5 and dir on public list thread: needs
   follow up

   put CSS and HTML5 first next time
