**************************************************************

NOTE:  Boston (and most of the rest of North America) will be 
observing Daylight Savings Time by the time of our next telcon 
on March 14 (absurd as this may seem to most of us).  Since the
UK and Europe will still be on Standard time, the local time of
our telcon on March 14 will be different from usual for participants
from those regions (one hour earlier, I believe).

ACTION to John continued.

We (mostly Richard and Konrad) discussed this some more.

The XPath 1.0 data model (which C14N uses) allows for undeclaring
namespaces, but this can only be serialized using NS 1.1.  But
Konrad says C14N inherits the namespaces-in-scope from its ancestors.

We may need to change wording in C14N 1.1 about how namespaces are 
canonicalized. 

ACTION to Konrad, Richard:  Post thoughts on this to the email list.
