Done.

> 
> Paul asked a question about the schema for schemas:

> 
> ACTION to Henry:  Shepherd it from there.

Continuing--we will drop this issue from our agenda.

> ACTION to Norm:  Point out the above to the TAG.

ACTION continued.

> XLink 1.1: XML Base confusion
> -----------------------------

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2005JulSep/0009
> 
> XML Base references RFC 2396 and XLink references RFC 3987
> (the IRI one) which references RFC 3986 (2396-bis) for
> absolutization and such, but nothing has changed between
> 2396 and 3986 wrt absolutization.  So we don't see the problem.
> 
> ACTION to Norm:  Take this back to the commentor.

> XLink 1.1: Error handling

>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2005JulSep/0013
> 
> We say what the conformance criteria are but not what

> should we do if someone specifies an invalid value for
> one of the xlink:* attributes.
> 
> Francois points out that this hasn't changed since XLink 1.0.
> 
> ACTION to Norm:  Craft some words along the lines of error

> 
> XLink 1.1: XLink 1.1 in XML 1.1
> -------------------------------
>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2005JulSep/0012
> 
> Norm suggests we just say that XLink works for both XML 1.0
> and XML 1.1, and the names should just match the version

> XLink 1.1: Integration with CSS
> -------------------------------
>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2005JulSep/0018
> 
> How does XLink interact with CSS's :link selector?
> 
> Francois suggests that we add a note that says "languages
> such as CSS should see XLink links as links."
> 
> ACTION to Norm:  Respond to the commenter and to the CSS WG.

ACTION continued.

> 
> 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]. 
> 
> ACTION to Francois:  Update the PE document including
> issues raised on public-xml-testsuite@w3.org.

ACTION continued.
 
> 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

ACTION continued.

Richard believes ERH is correct and all the problems
arose from a misunderstanding by the commentor on how
the test suite works.

We believe Elliotte has properly addressed the technical
issues.

All that is left is that Elliotte's results are not
included in our Implementation Report at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2004/xinclude-implementation/report.html
as he reports in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2005Jul/0012

ACTION to Richard:  Add ERH's results to the XInclude IR.

The WG approves Norm's latest version which Norm
has also published on public-xml-id.

> Henry, when can we expect a director's decision?

Henry tells us we probably do not need a PR telcon.
The director's decision might be available next week.

Norm would like to see xml:id be a Rec asap, so if
doing PR around it would slow down Rec-dom, he'd
prefer not to have any.

ACTION to Henry:  Give Norm a pubdate.

ACTION to Norm:  Draft a status for the Rec and produce
the final Rec-ready version.

> 
> 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.
> 
> Chris started the discussion on the XML CG list--see
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-cg/2005Jul/thread.html#15
> The XML CG will continue to discuss it for a while.
