Richard has an issue raised by ERH:

>>  [In section 4.2] the XInclude spec says, 
>> "The */document information item/* of the acquited infoset 
>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-xinclude-20040413/#dt-acquired-infoset> 
>> serves as the inclusion target 
>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-xinclude-20040413/#dt-inclusion-target> 
>> unless the |xpointer| attribute is present and identifies a 
>> subresource."
>
> That looks wrong: the simplest fix is to delete "and identifies a
> subresource".  I assume it meant "and the resource it identifies turns
> out not to be the whole document".

CONSENSUS to delete "and identifies a subresource".

Richard raised another issue arising from ERH's tests:
including something as text but it's marked as text/xml, 
then do you read its encoding decl from the XML decl?

In the XInclude spec, we don't seem to allow use of internal
info to determine encoding.  We want to add something here
to allow encoding determination via the presence of a BOM.

We have CONSENSUS to add:

  if the document begins with a unicode byte order mark, 
  it is in the encoding specified by that BOM.

in section 4.3 as the penultimate bullet in the bulleted list.


We've gotten questions back in response to the PR request:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004JulSep/0090 ff

* The IR doesn't have links to the implementations themselves.

ACTION to Richard:  Add some links in the IR to the various
implementations.

* The features tested by Nist-include-xx, where xx is
	19, 24, 25, 48, 49, 51, 52, 56
and eduni-3 appear to be under-implemented. 

ACTION to Richard:  Go through those listed and send email.

ACTION to Richard:  Ask ERH to rerun our test suite as it is now
in the CVS, esp. eduni-2 and eduni-3.  Also ask for a link.

* We don't seem to have an IRI test (nist-include-57 was removed).

To test non-ascii names we would have to make the test suite
work on non-local files, and we haven't yet done that.  Support
for IRIs is mostly in the URI support level underneath, not in 
the XInclude layer itself.

* More comments from Martin on errors in the XInclude spec wrt IRIs.

In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004JulSep/0098
Martin points out a typo due to a cut and paste from the NS
spec where we also had this wrong.

Also, in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2004JulSep/0097 
Martin suggests replacement for our IRI text.

We have CONSENSUS to insert Martin's first suggested replacement.

We also need to CHANGE the IRI reference from 02 to 09 or so.

ACTION to Paul:  Ask Martin for a reference to the IRI draft.
