The XML Core WG requests advancement of 
xml:id Version 1.0
available at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2005/01/CR-xml-id-20050203/
to Candidate Recommendation.

The URL cited above is for the most recent Member-only 
version of the specification, as of 26 January 2005 but 
dated 3 February 2005 in anticipation of publication then.

The xml:id specification has been published as a Last Call
Specification on 9 November 2004. A document containing the 
comments received from other WGs and the public as well as 
the WG's final disposition of those comments may be found at

http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-id/lc-status/status-report.html

The Last Call comments have been considered and resolved, and 
a notification of the fact sent to every commenter. The XML Core 
WG has not received any replies from commenters saying that our 
responses were inadequate. We did receive several replies saying 
our answers were fine as recorded in our DoC document (URL above). 

The document being sent to CR contains the changes that were made 
to accommodate these comments.

The WG's decision to request publication as a Candidate Recommendation
was taken during a teleconference on 26 January 2005, minutes may be
found at

SCHEDULE

We propose a publication date of 2005 February 3.

We propose that the CR period lasts from the date of publication
until 10 March 2005.  Given the brevity of the specification and 
the current existence of several implementations, we expect to 
to collect the necessary implementation experience in that time.

EXIT CRITERIA

Abstract

This document defines the meaning of the attribute xml:id as
