fwiw, here are a few reviews/notes one might want to
read for some other XML Activity members' thoughts:

ACTION to Norm:  Review this WD.


C14N
----
This latest draft is at

> Richard thinks the "diff markup" of 3986 is enlightening

We're not sure how to reflect this in the text of the spec.

ACTION to Glenn:  Try to reflect this in some way.

ACTION to Glenn:  Update C14N 1.1 to reference 3986 instead of 2396.


XML Base
--------
Richard updated the spec some more just before this telcon,
and he thinks we are about ready to go.

But Richard thinks we might want to publish this as a WD
before going to PER.

ACTION to Henry:  Check into our options here for doing
a WD of a PER.

ACTION to Konrad:  Review Richard's latest draft at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/09/xmlbase-2e/


XLink
-----
The XLink CR was published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/CR-xlink11-20060328/ 

Paul wrote a draft PR request at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Jul/0001

ACTION to Norm:  Create an XLink DoC.

ACTION to Norm:  Post to the WG mailing list something to
show that any valid XLink 1.1 document can be programmatically 
converted into an equivalent XLink 1.0 document.

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

The old version XLink in section 5.5, we talk about values
of href attributes.  In the new version, we talk about IRIs 
and XML Resource Identifiers and other ways of encoding.  So 
it's unclear now what to do about spaces in href attributes.  
Norm thinks instead of spaces, we should now say non-URI
characters. 

ACTION to Norm:  Make a suggestion how best to fix this.

Also, nowhere do we say that conversion from an XML Resource
Identifier to an IRI must occur as late as possible.
Suggested new wording:

 If required, the IRI reference resulting from converting
 an XML Resource Identifier can be converted to a
 URI reference by following the prescriptions of
 Section 3.1 of [RFC 3987].

 The conversion from an XML Resource Identifiers to an
 IRI must be performed only when absolutely necessary and
 as late as possible in a processing chain.  In particular,
 neither the process of converting a relative XML Resource
 Identifier to an absolute one nor the process of passing
 an XML Resource Identifier to a process or software component
 responsible for dereferencing it should trigger escaping.

ACTION to Norm:  Implement the new wording in XLink 1.1.


XML 1.0/1.1
-----------
ACTION to Francois:  Update the PE document per last telcon's
decisions.

ACTION to Francois:  Respond to Dieter saying we'll fix the 152
and 153 typos but explaining for 153 that we really mean the "not".


Namespaces 1.0/1.1
------------------
ACTION to Richard:  Record Anne's issue/proposed resolution
in the Namespace PE document.
