Re: CORRECTION [Was: Transition Request: PER Request for XML Base Second Edition]

More followup!

I think that all PERs that revise Recommendations published
prior to the CPP are covered by the CPP. Here is my reference [1],
in section "2. Considerations when a New Charter for an Existing Working
Group is Revised to Include the W3C Patent Policy":

 "Proposed Edited Recommendations derived from a Recommendation not
  developed under the W3C Patent Policy, will be governed by the CPP."

I had forgotten about that provision earlier in the thread.

Thus, I return to my previous position which is that it is appropriate
to have this first sentence in the boilerplate:

 "This document is governed by the 24 January 2002 CPP as amended by the
  W3C Patent Policy Transition Procedure."

I propose that the status section be updated when the PER is published
as a Recommendation.

I think that this means that other XML Core WG PERs that went to Rec in
2006 lack that initial sentence. I don't think that is a problem and
nothing needs to be changed.

Meanwhile, I have updated the pubrules checker to include an option
"Otherwise revises pre-CPP Recommendation." When a group publishes a
PER, the accompanying boilerplate includes the "governed by the CPP"
first sentence. Note that if a group is revising a pre-CPP
Recommendation along the Recommendation track, then that would
automatically be covered by the W3C Patent Policy, so the boilerplate
is different in that case.

[I've also included the pre-CPP option for groups operating under the
CPP, though there are fewer and fewer of those.]

Please let me know if you see any odd behavior with the checker. Thanks,
and thanks for your patience as we learn about new publication
situations.
