Philippe has sent it to XML CG and W3M.  He has not gotten
any more feedback.  It's ready for TBL to review and then
send to the AC.

Norm has asked for this topic to be on the TAG's telcon
next week (Tuesday afternoon).

Norm will need to do some work on the test suite.

Henry explained that Bert Bos had a question about using
fragment identifiers in the href for xml-stylesheet to
access a subtree of the stylesheet.  Bert points out that
browsers wouldn't handle such frag ids, so we should 
clarify the stylesheet (SS) Rec as to what should be the case.

The SS spec says that the PI's type pseudo-attribute semantics
are punted to the HTML spec which isn't clear.

Neither Bert nor Henry thinks we should define a fragment id
for text/css, but that the resource should be retrieved per
the URI (not counting the frag id), then any frag id would
be interpreted according to the type of the retrieved resource
to produce what the SS PI refers to.  Then, the application
using the SS PI may look at the type pseudo-attribute to
help it how to interpret the returned (sub-)resource.

Norm: frag id are interpreted by the mime type sent back
by the server (so the type pseudo-att is ignored until
whatever (sub-)resource is returned and determined).

The SS spec could say what to do for various type's
(including what might be acceptable/erroneous).

[The replacement to RFC 2396 is 3986.]

We had general CONSENSUS to do something to clarify
the SS spec.

John thinks we can do this by issuing a clarificatory 
erratum.  Paul tends to agree, though done in coordination
with the HTML/CSS WGs.  Henry is less sure, and wants to 
know more about what the HTML CG thinks.  The problem is
that the HTML spec "defines" the semantics of the type
attribute, but we want the SS spec to do so.

ACTION to Paul:  Follow up with the XML CG in terms of
coordination.

John says we should deprecate the charset pseudo-attr
of the SS PI.

DV worries about rat-holing.

> 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

Norm thinks we should make an erratum to the infoset spec
that says that the [base URI] is always absolute (unless
there is no absolute [base URI] at all for the resource).

XML Base bullet point 1 in 4.2 isn't clear enough.
The second bullet of 4.3 does help.

John interprets 5.1 of RFC 2396 to say that base-URIs
are absolute, but Paul doesn't agree that this is clear.

We have CONSENSUS that the [base URI] is always absolute.

We have CONSENSUS to make a clarificatory erratum to the 
Infoset that indicates that [base URI] should always be
absolute (unless it's impossible).  

Henry thought we needed to allow frag ids in [base URI].
We ran out of time here--to be picked up next week.

We did not get to this topic, but please discuss in email
between now and next week.
