XLink update (13 Apr 2005)

/ Paul Grosso <pgrosso@arbortext.com> was heard to say:
|> 3.  XLink update.
[...]

There's an updated draft at

   http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/Overview.html

| Norm thinks we are close to finished except for section 5.4
| where he is not sure how to rewrite with respect to the fact
| that href's now contain IRIs instead of URIs.
|
| Francois and John think the only escaping that still needs
| to be done is for spaces.
|
| Francois suggested that we could decide not to allow spaces,
| but we had CONSENSUS to allow them so that all valid XLink 1.0
| documents are valid XLink 1.1.


I've updated 5.4 along these lines. Comments?

| John points out that "has no XLink-specified meaning" should
| be changed to "does not conform to this specification" or
| some such.

Done. Except for 

<p>When the value of the <att>type</att> attribute is
<attval>none</attval>, the element has no XLink-specified meaning, and
any XLink-related content or attributes have no XLink-specified
relationship to the element.</p>

I'm not sure how to rephrase that. Maybe it's OK to leave it?

| ACTION to Norm:  Update the spec.

Done. I decided that a new bullet was not needed in 3.1.

| ACTION to John:  Send relaxng schema to Norm.
|
| ACTION to Henry:  Send XML Schema to Norm.

I'l republish the spec as soon as these arrive.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
