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

Allowing canonical equivalents to be treated as identical 
directly in XML implies that an element's start tag and
end tag could be character-for-character different.  This
is not currently the case--such would be not well-formed
and the input is therefore not XML--and the WG does not want 
to make it the case.

We could add some "motherhood" notes saying that XML producers
SHOULD produce normalized output.

We will revisit this on our next telcon with the hope that
we can have Richard and Francois join us.

> 
>  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.

At the end of countdown, no objections.

> 
> ACTION to Paul (after this week's telcon):  Update the Errata 
> document at http://www.w3.org/2005/09/xml-id-errata

ACTION to Paul now due.

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

ACTION to Henry continued.

> 9.  XLink 1.1.

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

> The earlier XLink CR was published at

> The XLink 1.1 LC was published at

> 
> Norm has prepared a DoC at 
> http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/05/xlinklc/
> 

ACTION to Norm:  Ensure the DoC is up to date.

> 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.
> 
> John asked whether we should have two schemas, one for
> each of our conformance levels.
> The notion was to have a schema for people who want to implement
> the basic level of conformance, so they only have simple links.
> For the DTD, which is just a sample, we just need a smaller
> subset. Likewise, the XSD should include only declarations 
> for the simple links.
> 
> ACTIONs to Henry, John:  Produce a basic level
> conformance XSD and RelaxNG schema for XLink.

ACTIONs to Henry, John continued.

> 
> 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.
> 

ACTION to Henry continued, but he has started looking into this.
He says it will be tight, but he thinks it might work.

ACTION to Paul:  Draft a PR transition request.

> 
> 10.  XInclude 3rd Edition

> 
> See http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xinclude for
> LEIRI-related changes for the 3rd Edition.

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