> 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).

Accepted.

> 2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.

We will plan to meet next week.

There is no telcon on Dec 28th.  We will plan to have
a telcon on 2006 January 4.

> We are planning a f2f at the Technical Plenary 27 Feb-3 March 2006
> in Cannes, France.  The XML Core WG is currently scheduled to
> meet Thursday and Friday, March 2-3 of that week.
> See http://www.w3.org/2002/09/TPOverview.html though there 
> is really nothing there yet about the 2006 meeting.

> Chris Lilley asks about xml:base and IRI:

> 
> Norm thinks we should change the bib ref from 2986
> to 3986.  Section 3.1 should say any xml:base should
> first have spaces escaped to %20 and then have the
> IRI changed to a URI per 3987.
> 
> We should have uniform language for XLink 1.1, XLink 1.0,
> xml:base, xinclude, XML 1.0, and XML 1.1 (as errata for 
> all but XLink 1.1).
> 
> There is some question as to whether we should bother
> to make an erratum for XLink 1.0, but we did not resolve
> this.
> 
> We basically want to put the text that is in XLink 1.1 into
> the other specs.
> 
> It's possible that the language in XLink 1.1 might need
> tweaking so that the exact same language will fit into
> all the specs.
> 
> ACTION to Francois:  Look at the language in XLink 1.1
> and suggest some version of it that works in all the
> relevant specs.

ACTION to Francois continued.

>From thread 1: XLink 1.1: Open issues? 
Anne van Kesteren: Thoughts on XLink 1.1
-----------------------------------------
CONSENSUS to say this this is beyond the scope of
what we were chartered to do in XLink 1.1.

Thread 2--awaiting reply

Thread 3--accepted to update references

Thread 4-6 -- awaiting reply

Thread 7--XPointer reference 
----------------------------
Norm is now suggesting rewording to refer to the media type,
and he thinks he has text to address this.

CONSENSUS to accept Norm's suggested text.

Thread 8--awaiting reply

Thread 9--XML Base confusion 
----------------------------
How XML Base interacts with IRIs.

Paul asks how this differs from the item under agenda item 2.
(Still not clear to me, but maybe it's not the same.)

But it appears that this comment is a request to process an
erratum against XML Base.

CONSENSUS to reply that we do have a plan to process an
erratum against XML Base, but this comment does not affect
XLink 1.1.

Thread 10--editorial

Thread 11--"URI reference" "checking" 
-------------------------------------
We say an RFC 3986 says we don't have to check URIs (IRIs), 
but in fact it doesn't.

Norm suggests we remove the wording that refers to RFC 3986,
but still leave the wording saying we don't require checking.

Henry suggests we should say "There is no conformance req
for applications to check uri reference syntax per xxxx."
(Norm to reword.)

Richard suggests we point out that XLink 1.0 had no such
requirement, so we're not changing anything.

CONSENSUS with the above decision.

Thread 12 and 13--awaiting reply.

Thread 14--default xmlns attribute values 
-----------------------------------------
Anti-external subset comment.  We could add a note about
how not everything reads the external subset, but we don't
see anything wrong with having an example of a perfectly
reasonable use of valid XML.

CONSENSUS for the editor (Norm) to adds notes.

Thread 15--awaiting reply

Thread 16--Xlink vs "legacy" linking 
------------------------------------
What to do with both and xlink and href attribute on the same tag?

That's not up to the XLink spec, it's up to the application.

CONSENSUS: The semantics of xlink and href attributes are
independent, and the interaction of outside the scope of
XLink 1.1 (or even this WG).

Thread 17--Animation 
--------------------
Interaction of XLink and SMIL.  Is an XLink title animatable.

CONSENSUS:  Outside the scope of XLink.  If anything, this
is something SMIL should discuss.

Norm will craft a reply.

Thread 18--Integration with CSS 
-------------------------------
Interaction of XLink and CSS.

Henry:  We can add a sentence to simple link and complex link
that makes these links hyperlinks source anchors.  DV added
some detail to the suggestion.

Norm will take a stab at some wording.

Thread 19--Schema issues 
------------------------
Comments on the schema for xlink.

ACTION to Henry:  Think about and reply to this one.

Thread 20--integration with existing markup 
-------------------------------------------
Duplicate of thread 16.

Thread 21--integration with CSS 
-------------------------------
Duplicate of thread 18.
