Agenda
======
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).


2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.

We have a request from the Web Application Formats WG to review 
the Access Control for Cross-site Requests document.  The draft 
introduces a policy for performing cross-site requests (using GET 
and non-GET methods) which can be used by XMLHttpRequest, XSLT, 
<event-source>, XBL, etc.:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/

Reviewing the <?access-control?> processing instruction might be 
of particular interest to XML Core.

ACTION to Henry:  Review this for XML Core.

---

MathML WG points out an upcoming WD of 

"XML Entity definitions for Characters"

and asks if anyone in the XML Core WG would be interested in
reviewing this.

The draft is being developed in public, 

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities

and in particular an "editor's copy" available here:

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/overview.html

ACTION to John:  Take a look at this.

OASIS has announced another XRI document for public review:

3.  C14N 

The C14N 1.1 Candidate Recommendation is published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-xml-c14n11-20070621

Known Issues with Canonical XML 1.0 (C14N/1.0) WG Note 
has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/NOTE-C14N-issues-20061220/

Using XML Digital Signatures in the 2006 XML Environment 
WG Note has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/NOTE-DSig-usage-20061220/

An almost PR-ready version of C14N 1.1 is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/12/PR-xml-c14n11-20071211.html

We are currently targetting 2008 January 29 for a publication
date.  This means having everything ready for a PR request
the first week of January so that we can schedule a PR
transition call and have things ready for publication in time.

The following documents need to be prepared (and are already
referenced from my latest version of the PR ready draft) by
the first week in January:

1.  an implementation report that the XML Sec WG is kindly
    preparing for us--current draft at
http://www.w3.org/2007/xmlsec/interop/xmldsig/c14n11/report.html

2.  a disposition of comments in progress is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2007/12/CR-c14n11-doc.html

3.  A review version with changes from the 1.0 version 
highlighted--to be put at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/12/PR-xml-c14n11-20080129-diff.htm
(not yet there).  I'm hoping Norm or Henry can generate this.

4.  A review version with changes from the CR version 
highlighted--to be put at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/12/PR-xml-c14n11-20080129-diff2.htm
(not yet there).  I'm hoping Norm or Henry can generate this.

ACTION to Henry:  Come up with an argument for going to PR
with what will be the next draft of C14N 1.1.


4.  xml:base, [baseURI], and IRIs -> HRRIs -> LEIRIs

The (Second Edition) XML Base PER has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/PER-xmlbase-20061220/ 

Richard has produced another PER-ready draft of XML Base 
referencing LEIRIs at:
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/09/xmlbase-2e/

Things still to be done:

 - decide how to reference the not-yet-existent replacement for 3987
   (referred to as 3987 bis in this draft)

 - correct the patent statement per
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2007JanMar/
0000

 - improve the formatting of references so they have links in.

 - see if there is anything else we were planning to fix between the old
PER and REC.


4.5.  HRRIs -> LEIRIs

The latest HRRI draft was published as an ID on May 14 at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-walsh-tobin-hrri-01.txt

The most recent editor's draft is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2007/04/hrri/draft-walsh-tobin-hrri-01c.html

Martin's latest IRI draft (defining LEIRIs in section 7) is at 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-bis-01.txt

We've exchanged some email with Martin about some details,  
but in general it looks like we'll be happy with the definition 
of LEIRIs in the new IRI RFC.  

Scheduling for the revised IRI RFC is still unclear.  Paul sent
email to Martin, but we have as yet received no response.


5.  XLink update.

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

The latest almost PR-ready XLink draft is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/

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

Paul wrote a SECOND draft PR request at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2006Dec/0059

ACTION to Norm:  Complete resolution of DoC.

ACTION to WG (need volunteer):  Update the Implementation Report.

ACTION to Norm: Produce a PR-ready draft of XLink 1.1 with 
a reference to the IRI RFC for LEIRIs such as:

 Section 5.4: 

 replace para starting:

  The value of the href attribute is an XML resource identifer...

 with:

  The value of the href attribute is a LEIRI [ref].

 and then delete subsection 5.4.1 but move the para about 
 relative references up into 5.4.

ACTION to Norm:  Suggest any other appropriate changes to XLink 1.1.

ACTION to Norm:  Produce diff/review version.


6. XML 1.0/1.1 4th/2nd Editions published 2006 August 16:

 Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fourth Edition)
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816

 Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (Second Edition)
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816

Henry/Richard discussed the test suite issues raised by Frans Englich:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-testsuite/2007Mar/ 

These need to be resolved. 

Richard reports that the 2005 issue has been resolved in the latest
draft. 

The one from 2006, character references with numbers with dozens 
of digits, may not be. 

ACTION: Richard to construct a test case for these issues.

Francois has updated the PE document at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/08/proposed-xml10-4e-and-xml11-2e-errata.html
including his proposed resolution of the LEIRI text.

ACTION to Richard and Norm (and any others):  Review
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/08/proposed-xml10-4e-and-xml11-2e-errata.html
#PE161
and let us know if you have any suggested revisions to the 
proposed resolution.

Francois' proposed resolution for the version change is PE163.
Paul feels we probably need a bit more prose explaining things,
but he is not sure.

ACTION to Richard and John (and any others):  Review
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/08/proposed-xml10-4e-and-xml11-2e-errata.html
#PE163
and let us know if you have any suggested revisions to the 
proposed resolution.

Francois has generated a PER-ready version of XML 1.0 5th Edition 
with approved errata (and warning about upcoming PE about LEIRIs):
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/12/PER-xml-20071212-review.html
Please check the new note in 4.2.2.

Francois has generated a PER-ready version of XML 1.1 3rd Edition 
with approved errata (and warning about upcoming PE about LEIRIs):
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2007/12/PER-xml11-20071212-review.html
Please check the new note in 4.2.2.

We plan to put the following PEs into countdown during this week's
telcon:  PE154, PE155, PE160, PE161, PE162, and PE163.


7. Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1 2nd Editions published 2006 August 16:

 Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Second Edition)
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names-20060816

 Namespaces in XML 1.1 (Second Edition)
 http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names11-20060816

Richard has recorded Anne's issue/proposed resolution at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2001/05/proposed-xml-names-errata#NPE27

ACTION to Richard:  Look into Anne's (two) comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2007Oct/


8. XML 1.0 5th Edition

We have consensus to change the name char productions
in XML 1.0 5th Ed.

We also have consensus to allow XML 1.0 processors to accept 
documents labelled version="1.x".

Other character changes remain to be decided (though the 
status quo is not to make any others).  In particular:

ACTION to Henry:  Check with Noah how IBM feels about #x85.


9.  XInclude 3rd Edition

XInclude 2nd Edition is at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xinclude-20061115

LEIRI-related changes for the 3rd Edition:

3.1, href attribute is a LEIRI

See also 4.1.1 (details TBD) which can't reference XML 1.1
since we don't define XML Resource Identifiers in XML 1.1.
Just replace that para with the "They are LEIRIs" para.

ACTION to Daniel: Produce a PER-ready draft of XInclude 3rd Ed
with appropriate references to the IRI RFC for LEIRIs.
