Addison Phillips of I18N sent email about 
Unicode Normalization in XML 1.0 5th Ed.; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Feb/0019

Paul provided a status update to Addison and I18N at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0005

We decided to add a note; Paul sent draft wording at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0019

-----

HTML request for clearer XML serialization
------------------------------------------
Henry raised the issue that HTML folks think the XML
spec is broken because it doesn't define error recovery
and doesn't discuss serialization.

ACTION to Henry:  Send email to the XML Core WG list
outlining the suggestion to define a serialization spec
including the rationale.

Overlap between Powder and LEIRIs
---------------------------------

Henry writes:

Please review section 2.1.3 of the forthcoming draft of Protocol for
Web Description Resources (POWDER): Grouping of Resources [1]:  It
says things about e.g. entity expansion which I think at risk of
confusing proper layering, and it also doesn't seem to recognise the
LEIRI spec.

This spec just went back to Last Call.

John reviewed especially section 2.1.3 of the POWDER spec at
http://www.w3.org/2007/powder/Group/powder-grouping/20090309.html#canon
and only had an issue with spaces and + signs; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0013

Per Thomas Roessler at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0018
the WG may have already dealt with this issue.

Pointer Methods in RDF
----------------------
The ERT WG has issued a FPWD entitled "Pointer Methods in RDF":
http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-Pointers-in-RDF-20090310/

Paul sent in the XML Core WG comment at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0020

-----

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 as requested at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0001
that they be allowed to use "xml-model" as a processing instruction
target name token.

John thinks we should approve this.  Henry worries that people
will then expect that this is something from W3C, but he will
not stand in the way.

We should consider adding entries for xml-stylesheet and xml-model 
to the xml namespace document at http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.

We need a decision, action, and response to this request.

Richard added some discussion at
http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2001/05/proposed-xml-names-errata.html#npe29
The WG agreed with his direction and asked that he go forward with it.

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

Henry will work with Richard on NPE29.

We will then plan to issue NS 1.0 3rd Ed.

Whether we put ns prefix undeclaration into NS 1.0 3rd Ed
remains an open issue.


6.  LEIRIs

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

The WG Note defining LEIRIs is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-leiri-20081103/

7.  xml:id

The xml:id Recommendation is at

John Cowan submitted a proposed erratum at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Jan/0009
and the WG had Consensus to do as follows:

 The sentence "A document that uses xml:id attributes that 
 have a declared type other than xs:ID will always generate 
 xml:id errors" in Appendix D.3 should be deleted.

ACTION to Henry:  Update the Errata document at
http://www.w3.org/2005/09/xml-id-errata

ACTION to Henry:  Think about the appropriateness of
the same sentence in Appendix D.2.

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 Norm:  Update the DoC.

ACTION to Norm:  Update XLink 1.1 to refer to the LEIRI note.

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.

ACTION to Henry, John:  Produce a basic level
conformance XSD and RelaxNG schema for XLink.

We plan to skip CR and going directly to PR.

Paul drafted a PR transition request at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Mar/0013

The Implementation Report at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2006/01/xlink11-implementation
is pitiful.  We'll need to augment this to be able to request PR.

asked some questions about the XLink 1.1 XML Schema:
