Status and open actions
=======================

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

We had productive discussions during our f2f--see:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Nov/0028

We are planning to drop Appendix A and augment the prose
in 2.4.  Frederick will send updated wording suggestions
for this section by mid-week.  Glenn will incorporate into
the draft.

ACTION to Frederick: Update the redline version with our 
latest decisions and resend to the groups by Nov 14.

ACTION to Glenn: Produce a new editor's draft reflecting 
the changes suggested in Frederick's updated redline. 

We noticed a problem in the merging process where 'Base' 
argument to join-uris ends with "..". 

ACTION to Thomas and Frederick: Get implementors to run 
this new test case and report the results.


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,  see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Nov/0016
but in general it looks like we'll be happy with the definition of
LEIRIs in the new IRI RFC.  There are a few outstanding issues; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Nov/0034

Scheduling for the revised IRI RFC is still unclear.


XML 1.0/1.1
-----------
Henry/Richard discussed the test suite issues raised by Frans Englich:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-testsuite/2007Mar/ 

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.


XML 1.1 deployment -> XML 1.0 5th Edition
-----------------------------------------
I have sent out email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-forum/2007OctDec/0021
and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2007OctDec/0059
and we have gotten very little response--see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-blueberry-comments/2007Oct/

We had some discussion at our f2f--see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Nov/0031

We appear to have unofficial agreement by most implementors
to consider making this change if it goes through the W3C
process.

Paul talked to Ian Jacobs who suggested the best way to 
make this change is to issue an XML 1.0 5th Edition PER 
with a relatively long review period.  (Note, by doing so, 
we don't really open the discussion of whether this is an 
erratum or not, so the new title for this discussion is 
"XML 1.0 5th Edition".)

Whether we allow XML 1.0 processors to accept documents 
labelled version="1.1" is separate from the name char issue, 
and we don't know if we are going to try to do that in this 
erratum too.  Thoughts?

We asked if unlabelled documents would remain 1.0 or not. 
MSM would like to say an unlabelled document can be attempted 
to be processed by any processor whereas right now an unlabelled 
document can only be a 1.0 document (since the XML declaration 
is required by XML 1.1).  Thoughts?
