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

C14N 1.1
--------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#c14n1.1

The C14N 1.1 Recommendation has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-c14n11-20080502/


XML 1.0 5th Edition
-------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-errata

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

The PER period ended 16 May 2008.

ACTION to Richard, Henry:  Add a test to the XML 1.0 5th Ed 
Test Suite about version=1.7 documents.

A preliminary implementation report is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/01/xml10-5e-implementation

Daniel is working on implementing XML 1.0 5th Edition.


XML 1.1
-------

XML Test Suite
--------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-test-suite

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

ACTION: Richard to construct a test case for these issues.


Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1
-------------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#ns1.0 and
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#ns1.1.

Richard has partially updated the NS PE doc at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2001/05/proposed-xml-names-errata.html

ACTION to Richard:  Put NPE27, 28, and 30 into countdown.

ACTION to Richard:  Fill in a proposed resolution for NPE29.

ACTION to Henry:  Check amongst W3C staff to see how they
would feel about us pushing forward a Namespace 1.0 3rd
Edition PER that included as an "erratum" the additional
capability (from NS 1.1) to undeclare a namespace prefix.
And add to that action the possibility of changing namespace
names from URIs to IRIs in NS1.0 via an "erratum".

Paul started a thread (imported from www-tag) about whether
NS 1.0 should allow IRIs (or LEIRIs?) as namespace names:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0005

Currently NS1.0 requires URI, and NS1.1 allows IRIs.

If we are deprecating NS1.1, we should consider changing 
NS1.0 to allow IRIs (but not LEIRIs) as namespace names. 
Of course, this would be stretching the idea of an
erratum just like allowing undeclaring namespaces in 1.0.

John sent email asking the I18N Core how they feel about
changing NS1.0 to allow IRIs (instead of just URIs) for
namespace names:

LEIRIs
------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#leiri

Martin's has made a new latest version available at 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-iri-bis-04

Martin has asked us to review it and supply tests; see:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0002

Addison Phillips of I18N Core recommends we consider publishing 
LEIRIs as a WG Note; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0004

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


XML Base 2nd Edition 2nd PER
----------------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-base

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 ended 30 June 2008.

We have some comments in the comments list:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0003
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0011
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0012

We discussed the XHTML WG comment at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0011
a bit.

Norm responded to 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0011
at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008JulSep/
0000

ACTION to Richard:  Modify XML Base to clarify the meaning of 
C0 controls and add an example that uses an IRI.

ACTION to Richard:  Review and suggest a response to
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0003
and develop a DoC document.

Richard questions whether we need a DoC between PER and Rec.
Paul thinks we should have one.

We noted that the XHMTL WG raised a question about process at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0012
saying:

 We are not convinced that the proposed changes fall
 within the process guidelines of what new features
 may be added to a recommendation.

ACTION to Henry:  Check with W3M about whether there is any
process concern with our XML Base PER.


XLink 1.1
---------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xlink1.1

The XLink 1.1 Last Call has been published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xlink11-20080331/

The LC review period ended 16 May 2008.

Norm has prepared a DoC at 
http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/05/xlinklc/

ACTION to Henry:  Continue to get the XSD for
XLink at an accessible URI.

There's an open question about whether the XSD/DTD 
should default the xlink:type attribute value. 
None of this effects our last call because the
XSD/DTD are not normative.

John asked whether we should have two schemas, one for
each of our conformance levels.

ACTION to Henry, John:  Think about having a basic level
conformance XSD for XLink.

Paul asks us to consider skipping CR and going directly to PR.

ACTION to Henry:  Review the history and make a recommendation
as to whether we should skip CR and go directly to PR.


XInclude 3rd Edition PER
------------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xinclude

XInclude 2nd Edition is at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xinclude-20061115

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