Here is my first draft LC pub request for C14N 1.1. Please review and comment, especially Henry and Glenn. I picked Dec 20th at the publication date, and I recommend Richard, Jose, Thomas, and Glenn all plan accordingly in their drafts (though be prepared to change at the last minute if necessary). Glenn, I made some suggested Status text below, but feel free to alter is as necessary for pub rules or to suit your needs. paul ----------------------------------------------------- Eventually-to: webreq@w3.org; timbl@w3.org; steve@w3.org Eventually-cc: public-xml-core-wg@w3.org; chairs@w3.org; w3t-comm@w3.org The XML Core WG requests publication of Canonical XML 1.1 available at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/10/WD-xml-c14n11.html as a Last Call Working Draft. The URL cited above is for the most recent Member-only version of the specification as of 2006 December @@ but @@@ dated 20 December 2006 in anticipation of that publication date. That document is set up to be published by moving it into http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xml-c14n11-20061220 The WG's decision to request publication as a Last Call Working Draft was taken during a WG telcon on 2006 December 6 whose minutes may be found at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Dec/0006 A pre-announcement was made to the chairs list at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2006OctDec/0068 SCHEDULE We ask webreq/comm to publish this on 20 December 2006. We plan a long last call period so that some working groups that we expect to be chartered in Q1 2007 will have some time to review it. TITLE, ABSTRACT AND STATUS SECTIONS Canonical XML 1.1 Abstract -------- Canonical XML 1.1 is a revision to Canonical XML 1.0 to address issues raised while producing the xml:id specification. Any XML document is part of a set of XML documents that are logically equivalent within an application context, but which vary in physical representation based on syntactic changes permitted by XML 1.0 [XML] and Namespaces in XML [Names]. This specification describes a method for generating a physical representation, the canonical form, of an XML document that accounts for the permissible changes. Except for limitations regarding a few unusual cases, if two documents have the same canonical form, then the two documents are logically equivalent within the given application context. Note that two documents may have differing canonical forms yet still be equivalent in a given context based on application-specific equivalence rules for which no generalized XML specification could account. Status of this document ----------------------- This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document.
