The XML Core WG requests publication of the following document as a W3C Proposed Recommendation: xml:id Version 1.0 http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2005/06/PR-xml-id-20050622/ The URL cited above is for the most recent Member-only version of the specification, dated 22 June 2005. A review version highlighting diffs versus the CR draft is at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2005/06/PR-xml-id-20050622/PR-xml-id-2005062 2-diff.html The xml:id 1.0 specification was published as a Candidate Recommendation on 8 February 2005. The list of issues that were raised during CR and their disposition can be found at: http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-id/cr-status/status-report.html The Working Group has developed a test suite for use in testing interoperability, which is described at http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xml-id/ An implementation report, describing the results of five implementations, is available at http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html The WG's decision to request publication as a Proposed Recommendation was taken during a teleconference on 22 June 2005, minutes may be found at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Jun/0044 EXITING CR The CR request was made at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2005JanMar/0030 As published in the CR SOTD, the exit criteria are: * There are at least two interoperable implementations of the specification. For the purpose of this CR, two implementations will be considered interoperable if they report the same xml:id attributes with the same types for all tests in the test suite. * A minimum of one month of the CR period must have elapsed. This is to ensure that enough time is given for any major errors to be caught. The test suite for xml:id is available at: http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xml-id/ The implementation results are available at: http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html The results show two or more implementations producing the same result for each of the test cases. The CR period started February 8, so more than a month has passed. Therefore, the exit criteria for xml:id have been fulfilled. SCHEDULE We propose that the PR period for xml:id 1.0 start as soon as feasible (hopefully in early July) and last until 26 August 2005. REQUIREMENTS OF TRANSITION The XML Core WG approved publication during our telcon of 2005 June 22: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2005Jun/0044 Changes to the document are highlighted by the review version at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2005/06/PR-xml-id-20050622/PR-xml-id-2005062 2-diff.html The WG believes it has addressed all of the requirements in the RD at http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xml-id-req-20030806/ Evidence that issues have been addressed can be seen in our Disposition of Comments document at http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xml-id/cr-status/status-report.html A test suite is available at http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/xml-id/ An Implementation report is at http://www.w3.org/XML/2005/01/xml-id-implementation.html Our IPR disclosure page is at http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/18796/status PROPOSED PR ABSTRACT AND STATUS SECTIONS Abstract -------- This document defines the meaning of the attribute xml:id as an ID attribute in XML documents and defines processing of this attribute to identify IDs in the absence of validation, without fetching external resources, and without relying on an internal subset. Status of this document ----------------------- This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/. This document is a Proposed Recommendation (PR) of the W3C. This document has been produced by the W3C XML Core Working Group as part of the XML Activity. W3C Advisory Committee Members are invited to send formal review comments to the W3C Team until 26 August 2005. Advisory Committee Representatives should consult their WBS questionnaires. The public is invited to send comments to the public mailing list public-xml-id@w3.org (archive). After the review the Director will announce the document's disposition. This announcement should not be expected sooner than 14 days after the end of the review. This document is based upon the xml:id Candidate Recommendation of 8 February 2005. Feedback received during that review resulted in clarifications but no major changes. A review version highlighting differences between the CR draft and this PR draft is available. The XML Core Working Group believes that this specification addresses all Last Call and Candidate Recommendation issues. Known implementations are documented in the xml:id Implementation Report. A test suite is also available. The patent policy for this document is the 5 February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. Patent disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the XML Core Working Group's public IPR disclosure page. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) with respect to this specification should disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.
