We have an XML Core WG phone call scheduled for Wednesday, 
January 16, from
          08:00-09:00 Pacific time aka
          11:00-12:00 Eastern time aka
          15:00-16:00 UTC
          16:00-17:00 in Ireland and the UK

We also use IRC channel #xmlcore on irc.w3.org:6665 .

See the XML Core group page [1] for pointers to current documents
and other information.  If you have additions to the agenda, please
email them to the WG list before the start of the telcon.

Please also review our group page's task list [2] for accuracy and
completeness and be prepared to amend if necessary and accept it
at the beginning of the call.

Probable regrets from DV for Jan 16 and 30--proxy to the chair
(and an explicit affirmative vote to take XML 1.0 5th Ed to PER).

Agenda
======
1. Accepting the minutes from the last telcon [3] and
   the current task status [2] (have any questions, comments,
   or corrections ready by the beginning of the call).


2. Miscellaneous administrivia and document reviews.

We have a request from the Web Application Formats WG to review 
the Access Control for Cross-site Requests document.  The draft 
introduces a policy for performing cross-site requests (using GET 
and non-GET methods) which can be used by XMLHttpRequest, XSLT, 
<event-source>, XBL, etc.:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/

Reviewing the <?access-control?> processing instruction might be 
of particular interest to XML Core.

ACTION to Henry:  Review this for XML Core.

---

MathML WG points out an upcoming WD of 

"XML Entity definitions for Characters"

and asks if anyone in the XML Core WG would be interested in
reviewing this.

The draft is being developed in public, 

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities

and in particular an "editor's copy" available here:

http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007doc/overview.html

John reviewed this at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Jan/0006
and doesn't think there is any need for XML Core to review 
or comment.

ACTION to Paul:  Send email to MathML WG saying we have no
official XML Core review, but we have no problem with it.

OASIS has announced another XRI document for public review:

John reviewed it at

namespace prefixes.

These need to be resolved. 

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.

Richard has produced another PER-ready draft of XML Base 
referencing LEIRIs at:

Things still to be done:

 - decide how to reference the not-yet-existent replacement for 3987
   (referred to as 3987 bis in this draft)

 - correct the patent statement per
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2007JanMar/
0000

 - improve the formatting of references so they have links in.

 - see if there is anything else we were planning to fix between 
the old PER and REC.

ACTION to Richard:  Finish edits for the PER-ready draft of XML Base.


9.  XLink update.

The XLink CR was published at

ACTION to Norm:  Complete resolution of DoC.

ACTION to WG (need volunteer):  Update the Implementation Report.

ACTION to Norm: Produce a PR-ready draft of XLink 1.1 with 
a reference to the IRI RFC for LEIRIs such as:

 Section 5.4: 

 replace para starting:

  The value of the href attribute is an XML resource identifer...

 with:

  The value of the href attribute is a LEIRI [ref].

 and then delete subsection 5.4.1 but move the para about 
 relative references up into 5.4.

ACTION to Norm:  Suggest any other appropriate changes to XLink 1.1.

ACTION to Norm:  Produce diff/review version.

ACTIONs to Norm continued, due 2008 January 16.


10.  XInclude 3rd Edition

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

LEIRI-related changes for the 3rd Edition:

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.

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