We figure if this is RDF's way to quote attributes, 
it's fine with us, as it's RDF-specific.

ACTION to Norm:  Reply to Eric with this and see if we've
misunderstood something.

The latest C14N 1.1 editors draft is at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Oct/att-0032/WD-xml-c14n11.html
and hopefully soon at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/10/WD-xml-c14n11.html

ACTION to Glenn:  Check the comments list and let us know of any
comments we should address.

ACTION to Richard:  Review the latest C14N 1.1 esp App A.

Richard addressed (or disagreed) with Konrad's email,
as reflected in the latest draft.

[A detail about the diff spec and meta elements between
Richard and Norm.]

We seem to be ready to make a public draft.

ACTION to Richard:  Prepare a draft ready to publish
(including the SoTD para above) and place at

Norm posted a DoC at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/10/xlink11-doc.html

XLink conformance criteria question, Boris Zbarsky 
--------------------------------------------------
Handling the xlink:actuate attribute semantics are
"shoulds" which means to do it unless there is a
good reason not to.  Boris asks in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2006JulSep/0003
whether is SVG a good reason not to?  Put another way,
if you put an xlink attribute on an SVG element, do you
do the SVG semantics or the XLink semantics?

SVG defines where xlink attributes can go (and make 
sense), and if you put an xlink attr elsewhere, the
behavior is undefined by SVG.

ACTION to Norm:  Follow up the email.


XPointer to redefined elements, Ignacio Hernandez-Ros 
-----------------------------------------------------
This is an XPointer comment, not an XLink comment.
Remove from DoC.


XPointer considered incomprehensible, Bjoern Hoehrmann 
------------------------------------------------------
This is an XPointer comment, not an XLink comment.
Remove from DoC.

> 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.

Other ACTIONs to Norm continued.

Francois did reply to Dieter.

Regarding PE150, John comments:

The successor to 4646 is already being drafted, so John thinks
we should instead point to BCP 47 which should remain a pointer 
to the latest.

Francois has some concerns but is willing to go with BCP 47
as long as we have a correct URL for it which we believe is
http://rfceditor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt

We would also remove the reference to the registry.

ACTION to Francois:  Re-wordsmith the proposed resolution.

ACTION to John:  Reply to the commentor for PE157.
