Dmitry volunteers.

ACTION to Dmitry:  Review QA Framework: Specification Guidelines
and report back to the XML Core WG by January 18th.

Done:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/xlink10-ext.html

Henry/John request adding non-normative XML Schema and RelaxNG
grammars.

We plan next week to agree to send notice to chairs; and then 
the following week we will approve sending in the pubrequest.

John raises the issue of XPointer maintenance--since no WG
currently owns it--but Norm would rather not open that can
of worms.  So our current charter-update plan is just to have
"issue XLink 1.1 to match the WG Note" added to our charter.

CONSENSUS to approve for publication.

ACTION to Francois:  Process as approved.

ACTION to Richard:  Send email outlining the issue and your suggested
resolution.

This is really a processing model issue.  We can't imagine
doing anything to XInclude that facilitates DIWG's use case.

FWIW, HT tells us Liam is writing a charter for a processing model
WG in the XML Activity.

DV volunteers.

ACTION to DV:  Create a PE document for XInclude.

> 7. xml:id.

> Our Last Call of xml:id is published at

> ACTION to Norm:  Update it to reflect followup email by this week's

Norm has started processing comments.

Ian Hickson
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2005Jan/0000

CONSENSUS to agree with Norm that the value of xml:id will be
normalized as any thing of type ID would.  We should say that
the normalized-value property in the resulting infoset would
be the normalized value of the xml:id attribute.

Ian Hickson
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2005Jan/0002

xml:id processing occurs when the xml:id processor is invoked,
and it's up to the application to decide when to call the
xml:id processor.  We recommend that xml:id processing when
XML id processing happens (e.g., at or immediately after parsing
or, in a dynamic environment, whenever it may be possible for
the value of an id or xml:id attribute to change).

Ian Hickson
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2005Jan/0003
What happens when the value of xml:id is the null string?

We've already decided that id assignment occurs even when the
string is not a valid id value.  The same should occur for
xml:id="" as id="" (where id is declared of type ID in the DTD);
the result is invalid but well-formed.

CONSENSUS:  It is (already) an xml:id error for the value to be
the null string, but id assignment is still performed.

Ian Hickson
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2005Jan/0005
CONSENSUS to add a note about conformance of documents per Ian's
suggestion.

Leigh Klotz
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2004Nov/0017
We have a "must not" in a non-normative section, to wit:
"DTD authors must not declare xml:id as something other than ID."

John suggested we should move this to a normative section and
make it an xml:id error.

But Richard points out that not all processors will have access
to the DTD and/or this info.

As it stands, it is already an xml:id error, so we should fix
the non-normative wording so that it doesn't use "must not" but 
is instead worded as a warning to DTD authors.

ACTION to Norm:  Process these and other comments and update
the issues doc accordingly.
