> 1. Accepting the minutes from the last telcon [3] and
>    the current task status [2] (have any questions, comments,
>    or corrections ready by the beginning of the call).

Accepted.

> 2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.
> 
> 2a.  We discussed the future of the XML Core WG at our f2f at
> http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/02/xml-f2f-20060302-minutes.h
> tm#futures
> 
> The WG had CONSENSUS with the decision taken at the f2f
> which was to write our new (post June) charter to finish 
> up what we are doing and maintaining the existing specs 
> without adding anything new.  We would plan to have telcons 
> reduced to once a month.  

Paul produced an initial draft new charter at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/03/xml-core-wg-charter-200607.html

Philippe sent some comments that Paul will incorporate.

We should add a paragraph to the effect that the WG handles 
core XML architectural issues and as such may deal from
time to time with several other specifications beyond those 
specifically listed in the scope.

ACTION to Paul:  Produce a new version.

> 
> 2b.  Norm asked the WG to review RDF/A Primer 1.0 [11] with 
> particular attention to Section 4.4 [12].
> 
> JohnC replied at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0061

ACTION to Paul:  Send John's reply to the XML CG.

> 
> 2c.  TAG's Disposition of Names in an XML Namespace:
> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2006/02/namespaceState/TR/2006/WD-n
> amespaceState-20060223/
> 
> François had comments:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0059
> 
> JohnC had comments:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0060

NOTE:  The above comments were really about the Namespaces
spec itself and should therefore be taken as PE against NS 1.0
(and 1.1).

No one had problems with the TAG's draft finding.

ACTION to Paul:  Tell the TAG that no one had problems with 
the TAG's draft finding.

> 
> 3.  C14N 
> 
> Glenn created an editor's draft of C14N 1.1 which is up at
> http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/02/WD-xml-c14n11
> 
> We had some discussion at the f2f--see
> http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/02/xml-f2f-20060302-minutes.htm#c14n
> 
> At the f2f, we decided to produce a W3C WG Note documenting 
> the current situation and issues and problems.
> 
> Thomas posted his f2f notes at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0026
> 
> ACTION to Thomas and John: Generate a draft of the Note.
> 
> Konrad was on the call last week and raised the issue 
> of how to handle xml:base for C14N.  He felt that
> one can handle xml:base appropriately for C14N.
> 
> Henry suggests we can use the defn of the baseURI
> property to define how to handle xml:base in C14N.
> 
> We discussed details of how we might be able to
> handle xml:base in C14N, pointing out that the
> algorithm for handling xml:base cannot be concatenation.
> 
> Q: If you want to join two relative URIs is it the same 
> as the merge path function? Or how should it work?
> 
> Konrad drafted an email explaining our requirements and 
> asking our question:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0058
> 
> Given no negative responses to date:
> 
> ACTION to Konrad (today):  Post that
> email to public-ietf-w3c@w3.org and uri-ig@w3.org.

Konrad posted something at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0063
and Jose made some comments.  

ACTION to Konrad (today):  Post that email to public-ietf-w3c@w3.org
and uri-ig@w3.org.

> 
> 4.  xml:base, [baseURI], and IRIs.
> 
> At the f2f, we had CONSENSUS to change the 
> xml:base spec to make it clear we allow IRIs as the 
> value of xml:base. We also want to allow IRIs in the 
> infoset [baseURI] information item.
> 
> One paragraph in the Infoset says the baseURI may
> have unescaped characters, but elsewhere it says
> the baseURI follows XML Base which points to RFC 2396.
> If we change XML Base, we shouldn't have to change
> the Infoset spec much.

> 
> 5.  XLink update.
> 
> We had a CR telcon March 21.  We will go to CR.  Norm
> has generated a test suite.  We should be in the process

XLink is now in CR--published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/CR-xlink11-20060328/

Norm sent some email about his test suite at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Mar/0066

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

> We will have an appendix in 1.0 explaining the diffs

> 8. Xinclude Rec was published 2004 December 30 at:
>    http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xinclude-20041220/

Chris gave a status update (such as it is) at
