DV has implemented XML 1.0 5th Ed and is working on testing.

He has a question about one of the regression tests for which
he may send email to the list.

He will let us know when we can add what to the IR at which
point we will be able to ask Henry to push for a Directors
Decision and go to Rec.

ACTION to Richard continued.

---

Konrad says he has been asked about putting namespace
undeclaring back into namespace 1.0.  He thinks we
need to do that.

Konrad also suggested the ability to use wildcards
in namespace undeclaration such as xmlns:x*="", but
no one else was eager to go there.

DV agrees that we should put namespace undeclaring 
into namespace 1.0.  Paul agrees.

Norm fears that we'll get pushback from the community
that doesn't like any changes to anything related to
XML 1.0, but he does agree that namespace undeclaring
is useful.

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.

> 
> 8.  LEIRIs

> A summary of what specs need to be revised to reference LEIRIs is at

> 
> Martin's latest IRI draft (defining LEIRIs in section 7) is at

> Paul's latest email to Martin about this is at

> 

Martin made some replies at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Jul/0023
including raising an issue about LEIRI versus LEIRI reference.

Those on the call (and JohnC in email) agree we always really
want to refer to LEIRI references.

ACTION to Paul: Reply to Martin saying that we do really mean
LEIRI reference.

> As a WG, we need to revisit our options for making progress here.
> 

Paul asks if we should reconsider making a WG Note or if we
should continue to wait for Martin.

DV doesn't feel that a WG Note is worth it.  No one else had
much of an opinion.

Unless a preponderance of WG members who were not on today's
call have a strong feeling, we will continue to wait for IRI-bis.
