XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2008 March 17

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon will be March 26.


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

C14N 1.1
--------
The C14N 1.1 Proposed Recommendation is published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PR-xml-c14n11-20080129/


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


XML 1.0/1.1
-----------
Henry/Richard discussed the test suite issues raised by Frans Englich:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-testsuite/2007Mar/ 

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.

At some point in the future (e.g., six months after XML 1.0 5th
Edition is a Recommendation) we might consider deprecating XML 1.1.


Namespaces in XML 1.0/1.1
-------------------------
ACTION to Richard:  Look into Anne's (two) comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-names-editor/2007Oct/

We discussed processing an erratum to NS 1.0 that adds the 
ability to undeclare a namespace prefix in NS 1.0.

We could probably make NS 1.0 a copy of NS 1.1 with appropriate
minor changes.


LEIRIs
------
Martin's latest IRI draft (defining LEIRIs in section 7) is at 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-bis-02.txt

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
----------------------------
Richard's latest PER-ready draft of XML Base is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2006/09/xmlbase-2e/

We requested a transition to PER at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Mar/0014

Things await Steve, PLH, and Henry's deliberations.

ACTION to Henry:  Ensure progress on the XML Base PER request.

After the transition is approved, Paul makes a pub request
and Henry writes and sends out an announcement.


XLink 1.1
---------
We decided the next step would be another LC.

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

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

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.

We plan to skip CR this time.

Paul sent out an announcement about our upcoming plans at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2008JanMar/0081

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


XInclude 3rd Edition PER
------------------------
We may have several places that need fixing.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xinclude-20061115

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.

See also
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Dec/0007
for more details on the necessary changes.

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