Richard replied at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Aug/0032
saying that it looked good to him, but it will be important
to have a test suite testing all the various cases.

Richard thinks the "diff markup" of 3986 is enlightening
and should actually appear in the spec.

Thomas expresses concerns about referencing 3986 instead
of 2396, since dsig references 2396.

ACTION to Thomas and Konrad (and maybe Richard):  Figure out 
whether to reference 2396 or 3986 or whatever.

---

We plan to have the WG vote to move the above two notes
and C14N 1.1 WD to first working draft at next week's telcon.

Henry checked, but isn't sure what the answer is.  We wrote
into the CR that the exit criteria (among other things):

* There are at least two interoperable implementations of 
  the specification.

* It has been shown that any valid XLink 1.1 document can 
  be programmatically converted into an equivalent XLink 1.0
  document.

* A test collection to enable checking the interoperability of
  recognizing and pre-processing XLinks has been created.

We plan to call all SVG implementations as 1 of the 2 implementations
for point 1.  We need to find another.  Maybe XBRL?

ACTION to Henry:  Research XBRL.

Norm has an answer to point 2.

ACTION to Norm:  Post the answer to point 2 to the WG mailing list.

For point #3, we should collect a few more tests.

ACTION to Norm:  Provide a few more tests for the test suite.

Daniel posted email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Aug/0033
explaining some progress.

PEX1, PEX6 and PEX11 could affect conformance and we should
add test cases to the test suite for these situations.  DV's
email outlines such tests.

ACTION to DV:  Add the tests suggested in the email to the test 
suite at http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2001/XInclude-Test-Suite/
and updated http://www.w3.org/XML/Test/XInclude/ also.
