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

C14N 1.1

HRRI RFC
--------
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

Henry sent email to I18N Core suggesting our LEIRI solution at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Aug/0032

We received a reply at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Sep/0008

We still await comments and schedule from Martin.

We need to press for a public draft of the IRI revision, then 
we can take XLink 1.1 to PR and XML Base to PER even though 
we'll have to wait for an RFC to take those specs to Rec.


XML 1.0/1.1
-----------
The following XML PE are in countdown until next telcon:

PE156 Inclusion of external entities 
PE157 UTF-16 and Byte Order Mark 
PE158 UTF-8 BOM 
PE159 No < in Attribute Values 

See
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/08/proposed-xml10-4e-and-xml11-2e-errata
for further details

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

Discussion continues.
