Q:  If you want to join two relative URIs is it the same
as the merge path function?  Or how should it work?

Henry suggests we connect with the IETF via our liaison call.

ACTION to Henry:  Find out where this question should go.

Thomas suggests emailing the Q to public-ietf-w3c@w3.org .

ACTION to Konrad:  Send an email to the above list explaining
our requirements and asking our question (wait until Monday).

Norm suggests we also cc uri-ig@w3.org .

Norm is working on a test suite tool.  (Norm and Richard
had a discussion of some details.)

Henry has developed the updated status with new exit criterion.

ACTION to Henry:  Send to Norm the updates for the Status.

ACTION to Norm:  Update the CR draft and generate the CR copy.

ACTION to Paul:  Send in the pub request.

He will make a diff between 1.1 and 1.0 2nd Ed.

We will have an appendix in 1.0 explaining the diffs 
between 1.0 1st Ed and 1.0 2nd Ed.  (It will be the
appendix from 1.1 minus the 1.1-specific changes.)

11.  possible xml:id issue posted at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-id/2006Mar/0000 ff

Richard said the spec says what we want.  It is an id,
though not valid.  This would be the same as with things
declared as IDs in DTDs.

The test suite does not check that a warning is printed as
required, but that doesn't mean this test case is asserting
that this document is correct.

ACTION to Richard:  Follow up on the xml-id list explaining
the situation with the test suite.
