action items

    <fsasaki> ACTION: All to look at parameters for the f2f around www
    conference or xtech (ONGOING) [recorded in
    [11]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

    <fsasaki> ACTION: All to think about f2f at tech plenary and see if
    they can make it or not (ONGOING) [recorded in
    [12]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action02]

    <fsasaki> cl: I need to look into this again

    <fsasaki> yves: so we would have three people

    <fsasaki> felix: we should decide until tomorrow, because of the
    deadline on Friday

    <fsasaki> cl: we will be busy before the meeting

    <fsasaki> .. I am not sure if we will have many urgent things during
    the meeting

    <fsasaki> felix: we will be busy, but we can't do everything, so
    there will be a lot to be discussed

    <fsasaki> yves: if we would have four people, that would be good

    <fsasaki> .. najib maybe at the tech plenary as well

    <fsasaki> ACTION: felix to send a mail to the member list about the
    friday deadline of the tec plenary registration [recorded in
    [13]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action03]

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Felix to ask other w3c staff member about how to
    implement performance in general (DONE) [recorded in
    [14]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action04]

    <fsasaki>

      [15]  
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0026.html

    <fsasaki> yves: I liked that they make a lot of distinctions about
    the format and its application

    <fsasaki> .. that is very useful

    <fsasaki> .. also, you pointed out to have a limited set of features

    <fsasaki> felix: a point is the extension mechanism

    <fsasaki> sebastian: we have that already by saying "we allow other
    namespaces"?

    <fsasaki> yves: maybe we need more

    <fsasaki> .. another topic: saying what features we have, and what
    the conformance for these is

    <fsasaki> .. I would try to write a draft section on this

    <fsasaki> felix: we should change the charter with respect to the
    "products" we want to create (tag set, processor(s))

    <fsasaki> yves: if it does not hurt, we could do that

    <fsasaki> cl: another topic: as we discussed the working draft, we
    discussed conformance of markup versus other conformance

    <chriLi>
    [16]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2005OctDec/0
    093.html

      [16]  
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2005OctDec/0093.html

    <fsasaki> cl: this was an early proposal, I think something like
    that would be useful

    <fsasaki> .. karls input would give input to rephrase a conformance
    section

    <fsasaki> ACTION: cl and fs to rephrase the conformance section
    [recorded in
    [17]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action05]

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Owners of the modularizations to keep working on
    them (ONGOING) [recorded in
    [18]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action06]

    <fsasaki> yves: have not done much with DocBook

    <fsasaki> cl: on DITA:

    <fsasaki> .. I have found an interesting example, I'll have a closer
    look at this later

    <fsasaki> Yves: Sebastian did a lot for TEI

    <fsasaki> sr: I will not do more examples or checking

    <fsasaki> .. I will show it to the TEI community

    <fsasaki> Yves: we need to write sections for each format, in
    addition of examples

    <fsasaki> felix: xmlspec, no progress

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Yves to make a sample for different levels of
    conformances (DONE) [recorded in
    [19]http://www.w3.org/2006/01/18-i18n-minutes.html#action07]

    <YvesS> The link to the example:
    [20]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0
    016.html

      [20]  
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0016.html

    <fsasaki> cl: it might be misleading to talk about conformance

    <fsasaki> .. it should be discussed as metadata for ITS itself

    <fsasaki> .. I made an comparison to xsd

    <fsasaki> Yves: should we allow for processing which is different
    for tools?

    <fsasaki> .. the next question: how do we indicate that in the
    markup?

    <fsasaki> cl: I would not mash the metadata with conformance
    criteria

    <fsasaki> fs: I compare ITS to HTML. that is having two products

    <fsasaki> sr: giving the set of rules, it would be illigal to get
    the wrong value for the translate attribute

    <fsasaki> .. which means that you have to follow selectors

    <fsasaki> .. without selectors, it is difficult anway (like
    xml:lang)

    <fsasaki> felix: there might be users who don't use selectors

    <fsasaki> sr: but we need an inheritance mechanism

    <fsasaki> .. it might be good to have the separation in basic markup
    versus processing models

    <fsasaki> yves: I am afraid if we separate markup conformance versus
    processors, people are confused

    <fsasaki> .. they might have a tool which uses ITS markup, but which
    does a different processing than expected

    <fsasaki> .. I see the value of the HTML way, but ITS tools need to
    see the value of being conformant

    <fsasaki> sr: is it possible to have markup with s.t. else than
    xpath?

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Yves and all othes to come up with a list of ITS
    products [recorded in

LREC workshop

    <fsasaki> Andrejz: I can talk about ITS at that workshop

    <fsasaki> .. to clear some confusion on the relation between
    standards

    <fsasaki> .. I made a presentation on this also at the Berlin
    meeting in December

    <fsasaki> cl: I would like to see honest statements about the
    statements of formats

    <fsasaki> .. e.g. ITS is not a standard yet, but a draft

    <fsasaki> .. e.g. we can show how formats work together, but not
    standards

    <fsasaki> .. sometimes people think they talk about standards, but
    they are not

    <fsasaki> Andrejz: in the Berlin presentation I concentrated on LISA
    standards

    <fsasaki> .. we put together workable drafts of specs

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Andrejz to start an article about the relations
    between various standards [recorded in

other topics

    participate

DITA call yesterday

    <fsasaki> cl: as for inline versus block markup

    <fsasaki> .. should we add this to the next WD?

    <fsasaki> yves: we don't have a page, and no owner

    <fsasaki> .. it is an important data category

    <fsasaki> Andrejz: I would like to start that

    <fsasaki> ACTION: Yves to set up wiki page for Andrejz, and Andrjez
    to write about inline versus other markup [recorded in
