Chairs are sending in expectations this week and next.

The XML Activity will be asking that XSL and Query meet
Monday, Tuesday of the week and that XML Core and XML Schema
will meet Thursday and Friday, with the Plenary on Wednesday.

Please try to have some idea (e.g., at the 75% confidence level)
as to whether you expect to attend or not by next week.

There are a few more things to do to clean this up; per Henry:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2004Oct/0036

ACTION to Henry:  Complete clean up of xml namespace documents
and reply to Michael cc-ing XML Core.

CONSENSUS to approve and publish.

ACTION to Francois:  Update PE and Errata documents for PE 133.

The commentor came back at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-archive/2004Oct/0131
thereby requiring Francois to update the rationale.

ACTION to Francois:  Update the rationale and restart the countdown.

> PE132 Validity of default attribute values (again)
> --------------------------------------------------
> The PE document suggests this might just be a problem with the test
> suite.

This comes down to the wording in section 3.3.2 where we say
"only the syntactic constraints of the type are required here"
but then we argued about what "syntactic" means.

We believe that SGML requires that the default value be one
of the enumerated types.

We seemed to be leaning toward making the examples in PE132
invalid (as the test suite currently says).

CONSENSUS:  It is a violation of the Attribute Default Legal VC 
for the default value not to be one of those specified in the
enumerated list for enumerated type attributes.

ACTION to John:  Propose new language for "Validity constraint: 
Attribute Default Legal" to solve the ambiguity here.

There have been very few votes on this to date--please be sure
to ping your AC rep to vote on XInclude this week!

JohnC does not understand why "invalid" documents should be
given undefined behavior rather than the behavior of documents
that are not validated.

We had CONSENSUS to have Norm rewrite his "invalid document"
concept.

ACTION to Norm:  Rework section 4 according.

We will now shoot for WG approval on Nov 2, Nov 9th pubdate, 
Nov 11-12 for the pub request, but still 2004 Dec 13 end of 
LC period.

ACTION to Norm:  Update the xml:id issues document.

> 
> 8.  XML Profile.  The TAG (via Norm) asks about progress on this:

> 
> We last talked about this at the March 2004 f2f.
> 
> Norm continues to recommend that we make a profile that is the 
> same as XML 1.1 except to change the bnf so that you can't have 
> any sort of doctype decl.
> 
> Norm suggests we generate a WG Note outlining the subset.
> 
> Glenn asks about how this might affect the idea of a
> compliant XML processor.  Specifically, a processor that
> only processes this subset is not a compliant XML processor.
> 
> SOAP also forbids PIs, but we believe they can live with a 
> subset with PIs.
> 
> ACTION to Norm:  Send email summarizing his suggested plan.

ACTION to Norm continued.

> ACTION to Norm:  Check with the TAG that this is something
> they still want to see worked on.

Norm started the discussion at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2004Oct/0059
but reached no denouement.

ACTION to Norm continued.

> The next step would seem to be to write a summary of the 
> plan and send it out and see if it makes people happy.
> We should be sure to include at least the TAG, SOAP, the
> XML CG.
