Agenda

   or corrections ready by the beginning of the call).

Regrets from DV, HT for July 27
Regrets from HT, Norm for Aug 3
Regrets from HT, Norm for Aug 10
Regrets from Paul for Aug 17


2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.


3.  XLink update.

The LC WD of XLink 1.1 has been published:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xlink11-20050707/

We already have a PILE of comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2005JulSep/

ACTION to Norm:  Reply as feasible and bring issues worth
discussing to the WG via email.


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]. 


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

Daniel has updated the PE document with all the resolutions
except a new one--see agenda item 11 below.

We need to turn the PE document into an errata document.

ACTION to DV:  Produce a draft Errata document, using
http://www.w3.org/2004/12/xinclude-errata as a starting 
point/template.

There have been some more XInclude test suite questions
recently on the list:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2005Jul/
ERH is fielding them to some extent, but it would be good
to have someone else (Richard, Daniel?) take a look too.


7. xml:id.

The PR was published (2005 July 12) at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/PR-xml-id-20050712/

The test suite is at http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xml-id/ 

The "central page" for the implementation report is
http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html


8.  Associating stylesheets--awaiting TAG action.

Henry reports that the HTML CG has been discussing this
for a while.  They are developing a draft statement of
the issue, and Chris Lilley will raise this at the XML CG.

Henry thinks the XML CG should say one of two things:

1.  Have Chris send it on to XML Core;
2.  Request guidance from above.

Henry thinks #1 is the correct next step.

Chris started the discussion on the XML CG list--see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-cg/2005Jul/thread.html#15
I expect the CG to pass this issue on to us this week.


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.

DV asks if it's always possible to make a relative URI absolute.
Consider a relative xml:base URI in a stream that has no base URI.

DV thinks his implementation doesn't expect the base URI to be
absolute.

Richard says that, in this case, the Infoset does not define
a base URI.  All base URIs defined by the Infoset are absolute,
but we say nothing about a base URI defined by an application.

There is agreement that in the case where the base URI of an 
infoset is absolute, that all base URI properties in that 
infoset should be absolute.

Richard sent email to www-tag about possible differences between 
what RFC 2396 and 3986 say about base URIs:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Apr/0077

HST spoke to Roy Fielding at the TAG meeting (2005 June 15ish), 
and Roy will reply to Richard's email as a first step.


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

XInclude requires xml:base fixup with adds xml:base
attributes to a document.  This causes problems 
validating the result against the original schema
if that schema doesn't mention xml:base.

Norm wants the XML Schema group to have a mode that
says "just assume all xml:* attributes are okay".

Henry points out we even have problems with validation
against DTDs in this case.

It was suggested that we add to the XInclude spec:
"An XInclude processor may, at user option, suppress
xml:base and/or xml:lang fixup."

Note, since this is "at user option" [see the XML spec
for the defn of "at user option"], all XInclude processors
MUST support xml:base and xml:lang fixup, but they MAY
provide a user-specifiable option to suppress such fixup.

We have CONSENSUS to add this phrase.

ACTION to DV:  Add this to the XInclude PE document 
with the resolution as suggested above.


12. QT DM issue (from XML Core WG) Declaration base URI[10]

ACTION to Norm:  Try to find some wording that allows 
implementations that care to be more careful without 
upsetting the QT groups by trying to impose additional 
properties on all implementations.
