XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2008 April 14

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon will be April 23.


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

C14N 1.1
--------
The C14N 1.1 Proposed Recommendation is published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-xml-c14n11-20080129/

The PR period ended 7 March 2008.

ACTION to Henry:  Lead the process of developing a
director's decision.


XML 5th Edition
----------------
The XML 1.0 5th Edition PER has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PER-xml-20080205/

The PER period ends 16 May 2008.


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.

At some point in the future (e.g., six months after XML 1.0 5th
Edition is a Recommendation) we might consider deprecating XML 1.1.


Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1
-------------------------
ACTION to Richard:  Look into Anne's (two) comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2007Oct/

We discussed processing an erratum to NS 1.0 that adds the 
ability to undeclare a namespace prefix in NS 1.0.

We could probably make NS 1.0 a copy of NS 1.1 with appropriate
minor changes.


LEIRIs
------
Martin's latest IRI draft (defining LEIRIs in section 7) is at 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-bis-02.txt

A summary of what specs need to be revised to reference LEIRIs is at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Dec/0045

ACTION to Henry:  Do some pinging about the schedule of IRI bis.

We should be sure XLink spells out Legacy Extended IRIs
and that IRI bis mentions the abbreviation LEIRI.


XML Base 2nd Edition 2nd PER
----------------------------

The (second) XML Base (Second Edition) PER has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PER-xmlbase-20080320/
and announced at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2008JanMar/0112

The XML Base PER review period ends 30 June 2008.


XLink 1.1
---------
The XLink 1.1 Last Call has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xlink11-20080331/
The LC review period ends 16 May 2008.


XInclude 3rd Edition PER
------------------------
We may have several places that need fixing.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xinclude-20061115

3.1, href attribute is a LEIRI

See also 4.1.1 (details TBD) which can't reference XML 1.1
since we don't define XML Resource Identifiers in XML 1.1.
Just replace that para with the "They are LEIRIs" para.

See also
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Dec/0007
for more details on the necessary changes.

ACTION to Daniel: Produce a PER-ready draft of XInclude 3rd Ed
with appropriate references to the IRI RFC for LEIRIs.
