Richard has the following issues:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1295

I'm still a little unclear about the relationship between XSL/Query
datatypes and schema datatypes.  The resolution says that "All
primitive atomic types, such as xs:integer and xs:string, have
xdt:anyAtomicType as their base type." which is not true in XML Schema.

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1303

They're adding a note to the XPath backwards compatibility appendix
(appendix to what?) noting the incompatibility when there is a DTD,
but this still seems like a big change: for example, identity
transformations will now strip element-content whitespace.  And I
still don't see why they are not describing it in terms of [element
content whitespace].

ACTION to Richard:  Accept the others, but question
there two in the bugzilla data base.

XQuery, XPath, and Data Model all use the same idea: an implementation
can use XML 1.0 rules or XML 1.1 rules for whitespace and names.
XQuery explicitly says that 1.1 implementations may wish to provide a
1.0 mode;  I'd like to see this strengthened to SHOULD, to agree with
the XML 1.1 Recommendation.

The Functions and Operators draft refers to XML 1.1 support as a feature,
but the datatypes are imported from XML Schema part 2, which does not
deal with XML 1.1 names or strings.

ACTION to John:  Add your two comments ASAP into bugzilla:

ACTION to Francois continued.

> 5. Namespaces in XML.

> 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

> 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

Glenn might be willing to be the editor for C14N V1.1.

ACTION to Glenn:  Look for the source and start on a
draft.
