We expect it to be published tomorrow.  Thanks to Henry
for some last minute fiddling.

----

The XSSM has asked if they could take ownership of the
dsig usage note at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/NOTE-DSig-usage-20061220/

The XML Core WG willingly passes ownership of the dsig 
usage note to XSSM.

----

The XSSM is planning an interop session in Mountain View
on September 27th--see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Jun/0033
Interested XML Core WG members are urged to attend.
Konrad expects to go; maybe Henry will too.  Others welcome.

----

Konrad pointed out some issues with Appendix A at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007May/0046

ACTION to Konrad:  Send email to the XML Core list with the latest 
suggested updated version of Appendix A and examples.

----

ACTION to Paul:  Request that XSSM produce a test suite for C14N 1.1.

We've now gotten lots more comments from Martin:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Jun/0023

1.  There are some more disallowed characters in IRIs.
    Richard says we should add these characters to our list.

2.  Having a separate definition vrs editing the IRI spec.
    This is mostly for convenience and speed.

3.  Doesn't like HRRI name.
    We'd consider another name if we can find one more
    generally acceptable.  We do think that allowing spaces
    (as is the case with HRRIs) does improve readability,
    but we'd be happy with any name that works.  We had
    called these XML Resource Identifiers, but (1) the XRI
    acronym is already taken and (2) these have meaning and
    usefulness outside of XML.

4.  We say it's inconvenient for authors, and we can tone
    down that wording.

5.  The classification as a BCP.  We're not sure why Norm
    made this a BCP--we were thinking of an RFC.  We'll
    check with Norm.

6.  Martin wants more about security issues.  We don't think
    this is necessary, but we'll try to go on some more
    about this.

7.  Security wrt space-like characters (tabs, CR/LF) and <>
    delimiters, etc.  We could add some text about these.

8.  On not percent encoding things any earlier than necessary,
    Martin objects to the phrase
    "nor the process of passing a Human Readable Resource
    Identifier to a process or software component responsible
    for dereferencing it SHOULD trigger percent encoding"
    and Richard isn't sure why that's there either.  These
    words came from XLink 1.1 says that, so we need to try
    to figure out what it came from and whether we want to
    keep or delete it.

ACTION to Paul:  Check with Norm about these words.

Martin had also sent
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2007May/0000
which most of us had never seen, so we need to review that.

ACTION to Richard:  Review Martin's message and post to
the WG list.

ACTION to Paul:  Send an initial reply to Martin.
