3.  XML 1.0

See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-errata

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

The PER period ended 16 May 2008. 

We need to have at least three implementations that 
pass the test suite for each of the errata that have 
been newly applied to the 5th Edition. 

A preliminary implementation report is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/01/xml10-5e-implementation

We appear to have three implementations of XML 1.0 5th 
Edition.  Henry is working on next steps.

ACTION to Henry:  Work on taking XML 1.0 5th Edition
to Recommendation.


4.  XML Test Suite.

See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-test-suite

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

ACTION to Richard:  Construct a test case for the XML test suite 
issues raised by Frans Englich:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-testsuite/2007Mar/ 


5.  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.

Richard has partially updated the NS PE doc at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2001/05/proposed-xml-names-errata.html

NPE27, 28, and 30 are in countdown until this week's telcon.

ACTION to Richard:  Fill in a proposed resolution for NPE29.

We have an open issue about if/how to add a namespace undeclaring
capability that can be used with XML 1.0.

Henry suggested we apply the URI -> IRI erratum to NS 1.0
and take that to PER and ask for opinions about what to do
about undeclaring.

Paul started a thread (imported from www-tag) about whether
NS 1.0 should allow IRIs (or LEIRIs?) as namespace names:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0005

John sent email asking the I18N Core how they feel about
changing NS1.0 to allow IRIs (instead of just URIs) for
namespace names:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2008JulSep/0049
And there was some email discussion--see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2008JulSep/thread.

6.  LEIRIs

Martin has asked us to review it and supply tests; see:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0002

Addison Phillips of I18N Core recommends we consider publishing 
LEIRIs as a WG Note; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0004


7.  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/

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0003
at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0032

ACTION to Richard:  Send the response at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2008Aug/0032
to the commentor and comments list.

ACTION to Richard:  Develop a DoC document for XML Base.

We noted that the XHMTL WG raised a question about process at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-linking-comments/2008AprJun/
0012
saying:

 We are not convinced that the proposed changes fall
 within the process guidelines of what new features
 may be added to a recommendation.

ACTION to Henry:  Check with W3M about whether there is 
any process concern with our XML Base PER.


8.  XLink 1.1.

See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xlink1.1

The earlier XLink CR was published at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/CR-xlink11-20060328/ 

The XLink 1.1 LC was 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.


9.  XInclude 3rd Edition
