Agenda
======
1. Accepting the minutes from the last telcon [3] and
   the current task status [2] (have any questions, comments,
   or corrections ready by the beginning of the call).

2. Miscellaneous administrivia.

The next W3C Technical Plenary Week will be 28 February 2005
through 4 March 2005:
     http://www.w3.org/2002/09/TPOverview.html

ACTION: Norm to coordinate a liaison.


2.5. XForms WG Note on xml-stylesheet and XForms.

See the draft Working Group Note at
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Group/Drafts/stylesheet-pi

See the thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004OctDec/0022
especially Norm's message at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004OctDec/0030

See also JohnC's comments at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Nov/0037
where he argues it is reasonable to treat this as a stylesheet
and raises the issue on how to recognize things via the MIME type.

Arnaud would like to know more about the motivation and
why they are using the xml-stylesheet PI instead of
something else.

Richard initially agreed with Norm's comment, but now he feels
that what JohnC said makes some sense.

Per
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-forms/2004OctDec/0194
we've been told the Forms WG has withdrawn the Note.

Instead, they will be submitting a Note that suggests a 
new "xml-edit" PI.  See the referenced email for more.

So unless this WG feels a need to comment on a potential
xml-edit PI, we can close this issue.


3.  XLink update.

Norm posted a draft[10] with diff[11]; there has been 
some discussion[12].

We will have to make it an XLink 1.1, and we need to make a
charter change.  We would either have to have specific
requirements put into the charter, or we'd have to write
a Requirements Document first.

Upon reflection, it seems unlikely that opening up XLink
for a 1.1 will go "unnoticed"; specifically, some of us
expect this would open up the HLink versus XLink discussion
again.  It may not be possible for this to be an easy change.
We'll need to think about this some more.


4. XML errata.  The published 1.0 errata document is [8], the
   published 1.1 errata document is [9], and the NEW PUBLIC
   Potential Errata (PE) document is [7]. 

PE135: When to check entity WFness according to 4.3.2
-----------------------------------------------------
The root of this issue appears to be the WF of entities that are
declared but never referenced.

Glenn: If we're going to make this clarification, I'm not sure why
internal general entities are the only places where we would do this.
Is this yet another case where the outline of the spec causes to have
statements scattered along one dimension but if someone wants to
gather them together in one section, they're not completely
cross-referenced. This may just be a case where we need to tie the
statements about parsed entities together better. Maybe not enough
things are links.

ACTION: Glenn to review PE135 and see if he can propose a solution.

PE136: XML 1.1 processors accepting XML 1.0 documents
-----------------------------------------------------
Glenn: In an earlier draft, I think we waffled a bit. And so I think
that we settled on the MUST.

Some discussion about whether we should change SHOULD to MUST in 2.8 or
if we should just drop the relevant sentence.

Norm expresses reservations about leaving the statement about 1.1
processors accepting 1.0 documents until way down in the document.

Glenn observes that this may have just been a reminder about 1.0 vs. 1.1
because it's been a long time since the discussion of version numbers
began.

PROPOSED: We're inclined to fix this problem by removing the sentence.
We'll give everyone a week to think about it and revisit the issue
again next week.

PE137: Improper RFC2119 "MAY"
-----------------------------
Is the "MAY" in the first paragraph of Section 2 an RFC2119 "MAY" or
just a regular English "may"?

PROPOSED: Tim Bray is correct, we should reword this sentence either
lowercasing the MAY or removing it entirely.

  In addition, the XML document is valid if it meets certain further
  constraints.

PROPOSED: We're inclined to fix it with the preceding sentence.
We'll give everyone a week to think about it and revisit the issue
again next week.

PE138: Further fix to E05
-------------------------
Editorial:  Fix the title attribute of the link.


5. Namespaces in XML.

  Ongoing ACTION to Richard:  Produce a draft for NS1.0 2nd Ed.

Makoto thinks we should fold all our errata into an NS1.0 2nd Ed,
but we should not fold in our other editorial changes from 1.1
into 1.0 2nd Ed.  He sent his comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2004Nov/0004
wherein he objected to our folding editorial changes that were not
processed as errata back from 1.1 into 1.0.

Paul checked with W3C folks about whether we can
fold editorial errata from 1.1 back into 1.0 2nd Ed
and our plan is acceptable:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Nov/0041


6. Xinclude PR was published Sept 30 at:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/PR-xinclude-20040930/
   and announced to the AC at
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2004JulSep/0043 

   The AC review closed October 29.  

We will shoot for a Dec 8th publication date (though that
can only be tentative, since it depends on the Comm team).

Testimonials have been requested.

ACTION to Philippe:  Work with W3T to publish XInclude.

Paul has updated status and things; pub-ready files are at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/12/REC-xinclude-20041208/

Sandra has sent new test suite stuff to Henry.

ACTION to Henry:  Update the test suite home page with what
Sandra sent to you.


7. xml:id.

Our Last Call of xml:id is published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xml-id-20041109/

The (public) xml:id issues is at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-id/wd-status/status-report.html
[Not up to date as of the writing of this agenda, but
all issues are closed.]

ACTION to Norm:  Update the xml:id issues document (though no
immediate need this week).

We also will need an issues list for the Last Call,
though we don't need it until mid-December.

Norm announced he had a sax filter implementation of xml:id:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Oct/0042


8.  XML Profile.  The TAG (via Norm) asks about progress on this:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Sep/0004

We last talked about this at the March 2004 f2f:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/02/xml-f2f-20040301-minutes#profile

The TAG has just dropped xmlProfiles-29 as an issue.

At this point, I suggest we just drop this task.

Assuming we do drop it, we should inform the TAG and XML CG.
Norm and/or I can take that action item.
