The XML 1.0 5th Edition PER has been published at

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 still trying to find the time for implementing 
XML 1.0 5th Edition.

Glenn reports that there are requests coming through the 
Apache hierarchy for support. So they're waiting to see 
if someone is going to place that requirement on Xerces.

Henry will poke around in the I18N community looking for 
someone to place that requirement.

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.

ACTION to Richard:  Fill in proposed resolutions for NPE27-30.


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

Martin's latest IRI draft (defining LEIRIs in section 7) has
expired; a copy is at 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-duerst-iri-bis-02

Henry reports that there is a visible RFC draft again. It's on the
agenda for I18N core to discuss as a matter of business. That's the
best we can do at this point:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2008JulSep/0000

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.

The IRI-bis does allow x00-1F in LEIRIs, but such LEIRIs cannot
be expressed in an XML document.  The set of LEIRIs that can be
expressed in an XML document is identical to what was always
allowed in XML documents.  See, for example:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/#escaping
in XML Base 1.0.  What we have in XML Base 1.1 is identical to
what we allow in XML Base 1.0.

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.


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.
