Thomas wrote an outline of this note at
http://www.w3.org/2006/04/c14n-note

ACTION to Paul, Glenn:  Read Thomas' outline and give comments.

Use "inheritable" instead of "heritable". Dump "joint (in)heritable"
as a concept and just talk about xml:base fixup.

ACTION to Glenn (by next telcon):  Make another pass at a draft.

We believe the point of this issue is that the DigSig spec
may still need a change to work properly even after we have
come out with C14N 1.1.

Thomas believes it is a problem with XML Sig spec, but one
that can be worked around without too many problems and
potentially a non-normative erratum.

Done.

Francois still needs to double check that it has all
the errata and then there's the status section and
new pubrules.  And then we should have a 4th Ed.

Similarly with 1.1 2nd Ed.

Done.

Done, PE149, published as E13 to 1.0 and E21 to 1.1.

> add a reference to the "No External Entity References" WFC.

Done, E12 and E20.

Richard sent an update as described at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Apr/0025

The erratum about more cases of abusing the xml and xmlns
prefix has not yet been published on the Errata page and
folded into the spec.

ACTION to Norm, Lew (and DV):  Review Richard's drafts.

ACTION to Richard:  Suggest wording for the erratum about 
more cases of abusing the xml and xmlns prefix.

John Cowan sent some minor comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Apr/0022
and DV has already reflected that suggestion in the draft.

ACTION to Paul:  Review and send comments.

ACTION to Francois:  Review section 4.1.1 and see if it
references the XML spec as we intended.

Francois took a quick look and didn't see anything off hand.

All Norm found were editorial things.

> Chris plans to open it up for public review April 26th.

Status of this unknown at this moment.
