> CURIEs et al.
> -------------
> The XHTML2 Working Group plans to take CURIE Syntax 1.0 at:
> http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-curie-20080122/ to Last Call.
> 
> Both Norm and Henry have reviewed it on the Tag list:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Feb/0050
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008Feb/0053
> 
> XML would have to change for CURIEs to do what they want to do.
> 
> The key issue with CURIEs is the restriction on name start
> characters for the value of ids (which is now an NCName).
> 
> Henry asks us to consider changing the type of an id attribute
> from NCName to NMTOKEN.
> 
> Norm sent his thoughts on redefining QNames at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Feb/0030
> 
> John suggests we shouldn't change QNames--which are for element
> and attribute names--but perhaps come up with another term--or
> just use the term CURIEs--for this new concept.
> 
> Philippe says that sparql has already come up with a CURIE-like 
> concept (and it is already a Rec):
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-rdf-sparql-query-20080115/#QSynIRI
> 
> Henry has done some research on the use of non-names for ids
> on the web.
> 
> Norm blogged on a possible XML 2.0:
> http://norman.walsh.name/2008/02/20/xml20
> 

Henry doesn't propose to do anything here.

Henry points out that 3023bis references xpointer (framework)
which requires an NCName, so it doesn't allow CURIEs.

If we change xpointer framework, they would get some of what
they want, but short of significant changes, they can't get
what they want, so they will probably go ahead doing things
we don't really like.

Henry suggests there is no point having XML Core do what the
TAG is going to do, so we can let it go.

> ----
> 
> October Technical Plenary
> -------------------------
> The next Technical Plenary is scheduled for October in Cannes:
> http://www.w3.org/2008/10/TPAC/Overview.html
> We need to decide if we wish to meet there.
> 

Norm thinks we should plan to meet, though we might
find ourselves cancelling if we have nothing to discuss.

Henry agrees.

CONSENSUS to plan to participate.

ACTION to Paul:  Send in our TPAC plans.

Norm provided an update at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/ and
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/xmlcore/xlink11/Overview-diff.html
see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Mar/0010
for the email.

In section 3.3, point 4, s/elments/elements/

In section 5.4, delete "[XML Base] is not IRI-friendly" note.

> 
> John suggests we have two levels of conformance at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Feb/0044

Conformance level 1 requires understanding just simple links
whereas level 2 requires understanding everything.  These are
processor conformance levels ("3.3 Application Conformance").

ACTION to Norm:  Amend section 3.3 to reflect two levels of
application conformance, simple and complete.

We will plan to approve going to LC during our next telcon
in two weeks.

We plan to skip CR this time.

ACTION to Paul:  Send out an announcement about our upcoming
LC (and no CR) plans for XLink 1.1.

Note: There is a publication moratorium April 15-28.
