action items

   <scribe> ACTION: Christian and felix to finish the text for the
   inclusion issue (Felix creates normative part, christian the
   non-normative part) (ONGOING) [recorded in
   [10]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/03-i18nits-minutes.html#action01]

   statement in normative part:

   "Selection relies on the information which is given in the XML
   Information Set [XML Infoset]. ITS applications MAY implement
   inclusion mechanisms such as XInclude or DITA's [Dita 1.0] conref."

   christian: I would use it for the informative part

   Yves: the way it is worded is fine.
   ... as for the reference to DITA 1.0, make the key upper case

   felix: will do

title of techniques document

   richard: I propose best practices
   ... I discussed with the architecture domain lead, he said it's fine
   ... another guy said he does not like the term "best practices", but
   would not stand against it
   ... the document is best practices for schema developers?

   yves: also for content developers
   ... current title is "XML Internationalization Techniques"

   richard: How about "Best practices for XML Internationalization"?

   felix: would topics like "integrating i18n related markup in a
   schema" or "using ITS rules" be covered by the "best practices"
   title?

   richard: all titles are not perfect
   ... MW people have used BP as well
   ... the document will not be only a techniques document
   ... we might also have separate documents for techniques, as we
   discussed at the Oxford f2f briefly

   felix: I'm just wondering if our WG members who developed ITS are
   fine with the "not on techniques" focused title. If that's o.k.?

   christian: It must be sure that ITS (tagset) is in the references

   yves: that's for sure, I'm fine with the title

   richard: "best practices": it's easier to subsume "techniques" under
   it

   <scribe> ACTION: Yves to post a mail on the new name proposal for
   the "techniques document" [recorded in
   [11]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/03-i18nits-minutes.html#action02]

further action items

   <scribe> ACTION: Christian to write a paragraph describing the
   requirement for ITS information about non-textual objects (DONE)
   [recorded in
   [12]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/03-i18nits-minutes.html#action03]

   yves: result is in the tagset draft and in the requirements document
   ... christian said: have the paragraph in a subsection on
   translatability
   ... I proposed to have it as a separate requirement

   felix: in the tagset draft:
   [13]http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#not
   e-object-selection

     [13]
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#note-object-selection

   christian: so in the requirements doc, there is a new requirement
   for this? Which must be listed in the introduction of the tagset
   doc?

   yves: yes

   christian: I'll work on that

   <scribe> ACTION: Sebastian and Yves to work on integration of
   modularization section into Techniques document (ONGOING) [recorded
   in [14]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/03-i18nits-minutes.html#action04]

   <scribe> ACTION: Yves to write text about within text. (DONE)
   [recorded in
   [15]http://www.w3.org/2006/05/03-i18nits-minutes.html#action05]

   yves: I was concerned about non-listed elements: how to deal with
   them?
   ... if an element is bracketed by text, mostly it is inline
   ... you could propose mostly all documents, without defining
   anything
   ... I was not sure how to define a default for non-listed elements
   ... Felix proposed using <its:withinTextRule withinText="xxx"
   selector="//*" /> as the first rule, which might solve the problem
   ... but there are other problems
   ... esp. how to actually implement the data category
   ... Christian had concerns on the wording "subflow", I proposed
   "nested" instead

   christian: sebastian pointed out that a document is different from
   an application
   ... I would wonder if the examples in the spec should also have a
   time stamp
   ... e.g. via XML comments
   ... it might give us a way to check that an example is still up to
   date or outdated

   felix: that's fine with me

   Yves explains the mail

   christian: I agree with Yves proposal

   felix: me too, but I'm not sure if we have time to make the change

   yves: as for terminology markup in various vocabularies: there are a
   lot of differences
   ... it is an example of how to relate different data types

   <r12a> FYI, NMTOKEN = "Name Token"

   yves: at some point, we might have to drop the referencing issue

   <r12a> nope

   yves: because it is hard to come up with a general solution

   felix: at least people are not hindered to use ITS natively

   yves: another problem: currently we have "anyURI"
   ... which could also be "#something"
