  Pending discussion with W3C.

+ #310 Not possible to set priority on rules

  https://github.com/invisiblexml/ixml/issues/310

  Apparently subsumed by the ambiguity umbrella topic?

Topic: Ambiguity umbrella topic

  It was suggested that “ambiguity” is at the root of a number of issues/topics
  including rule priorities, negation, the subtraction operator, etc. How do we
  want to organize the process for tackling these issues?

Topic: Modularization

  Possible discussion of some of the ideas presented in Steven’s MarkupUK paper.
  (I’d like to point to it, but the MarkupUK proceedings doesn’t seem to support
  doing that. At least, the frames version, which is the only version I can
  find, doesn’t.)

  + Steven’s propsal: https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/Talks/2025/06-06-markupuk/paper.html
  + Norm’s proposal: https://nineml.org/proposals/2026/modularity/
