at the beginning of the call.

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).

DV sends probable regrets--proxy to the chair.


2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.

The new XML Core WG charter has been approved.
The Call for Participation is out, and everyone on the WG
has to have their AC rep submit their name as a member in
the rechartered WG by May 20th:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0006

Richard reviewed the 
XPath 2.0/XQuery 1.0 Data Model document that is at:  
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xpath-datamodel-20050211/
Richard's review is at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0014

There is also an issue about what the types are in the data model:
the schema types or another system that is similar.  Henry and
Richard point out the type hierarchy in this data model spec
is not quite the same as in the XML Schema spec.

ACTION to Richard:  Augment the earlier email with respect
to the above issue and send them in as XML Core WG comments.


3.  XLink update.

Our WG Note "Extending XLink 1.0" has been published:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/NOTE-xlink10-ext-20050127/

Norm's latest editor's draft of XLink 1.1 is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/

Paul has gotten Director's approval for publishing this
as a first WD:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0035

Paul sent in the pub request at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2005AprJun/0020

Philippe, Henry, what is the status of this request?


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]. 

See the discussion of IRIs and the "MAY" paragraph
under item 5. Namespaces in XML below (which actually
occurred during our f2f under the XLink discussion).

We need to make some IRI related errata to XML 1.0 
and 1.1 (for system ids). 

Note this does NOT mean that we would change the 
reference to 2396 to now be 3986 because that could
imply other changes.

Richard drafted wording for the erratum to XML 1.0 
and 1.1 updating the IRI wording at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0055

But he points out that he doesn't suggest we make this
change until and unless we change the references to 2396
to 3986.

Richard suggests we defer this erratum for now.

CONSENSUS to defer this erratum for now.

ACTION to Francois:  Make a PE for this topic and record
Richard's email but note that we will defer the resolution
of this PE until further notice (e.g., when we change the
references from 2396 to 3986).

We had a question about the XML Test Suite arise; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Mar/0037

Awaiting response from Richard.


5. Namespaces in XML.

Richard suggested we take NS 1.1 and revert the two 
substantive changes (IRI and undeclared namespaces) 
to create NS 1.0 2nd Ed. The WG has consensus to do 
that, and we got approval from the team to do so.

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

We note that the IRI spec is now finished-RFC 3987-so 
we have to issue an erratum for NS 1.1 for this.  We
discussed some details of this under the XLink discussion:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/02/xml-f2f-20050303-minutes.htm#xlink
Briefly, 3987 does have some wording (the "MAY" paragraph) 
about what used to be called unwise characters.  For the 
NS 1.1 erratum, the MAY paragraph doesn't apply since 
namespace names cannot have the unwise characters.  (The 
MAY paragraph will be needed for XML 1.* system identifiers.)

ACTION to Richard:  Process an erratum to NS 1.1 to
refer to RFC 3987: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt


6. Xinclude Rec was published 2004 December 30 at:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xinclude-20041220/

Our XInclude potential errata document is at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/proposed-xinclude-errata

See
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Mar/0029
for our PE document which is awaiting updating by DV.

I believe we have resolved all the XInclude PEs (unless
we hear back from commentors).


7. xml:id.

The CR was published (2005 Feb 8) at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/CR-xml-id-20050208/

The (public) xml:id LC issues is at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-id/lc-status/status-report.html
The LC DoC is at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-lc-doc.html
Our implementation report is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html
We have a test suite cover page at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xml-id/

Norm sent some email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Mar/0023
and a sample of his implementation feedback at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/xmlidfilter-report

Richard put his implementation report at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id/rxp-report.html

Richard had some questions on Norm's latest test suite.

On the last test, Norm fails because XSLT can't do it.
Norm gets a space in it that shouldn't be there.  When
Richard runs it, he gets the empty string for the result.

ACTION to Norm:  Investigate what should happen on this
last test.

ACTION to DV:  Run your implementation on the 
test suite and produce some feedback report.

We discussed changing wording about errors so that an xml-id
processor doesn't need to report errors *to the application*.

In Section 6 Errors, we currently say:

  A violation of the constraints in this specification
  results in an xml:id error. Such errors are not fatal,
  but must be reported by the xml:id processor to the
  application invoking it.

ACTION to Richard:  Suggest some rewording for this and
pass it by ERH.

Dan Connolly raised a new issue: he wants us to have tests
demonstrating xml:id working with CSS (and the DOM, etc.).

Norm isn't sure how to test this.  It requires a change to
CSS implementations.

Paul raised this issue at the XML CG.  In fact, Dan raised
the issue on www-tag:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Apr/0079

ACTION to Paul:  Touch base with the CSS WG about xml:id.


8.  Associating stylesheets--awaiting TAG action.

Henry noticed that the HTML CG has run into the same issue.
There is an interaction between media types and secondary
resource, and there appears to be no consensus on the HTML CG
as to what should be the case.

Henry asked the HTML CG if they felt this issue should be
taken to the TAG, but being as he just asked them, there 
hasn't yet been a response.

ACTION to Henry:  Continue to see if this issue should
be brought to the TAG.


9.  absolutivity of [base URI]
    Norm has asked a question about the absolutivity of [base URI]:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Feb/0031

We discussed this at our f2f:
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/02/xml-f2f-20050303-minutes.htm#base-uri

We have CONSENSUS that base URIs are always absolute. 

Then we had a further issue about base URIs in the infoset.

Richard sent email to www-tag on this:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Apr/0077


10.  XML Validity and DTD dependence.
  Rich Saltz started the discussion at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0026
and there have been several sub-threads.  The discussion continues.


11.  XInclude, schema validity-assessment, xml:base and xml:lang

Henry kicked this off at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Apr/0039
We didn't discuss this topic much ourselves, but Norm and Henry 
both lean toward making it an issue for the XML Schema WG, so we 
are waiting to hear from them.
