>  This specification does not give the xml:base attribute
>  any special status as far as XML validity is concerned.
>  In a valid document the attribute must be declared in
>  the DTD, and similar considerations apply to other schema
>  languages.

> There was also some email about some typos for which we (Henry)

ACTION to Norm continued.

> 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

Henry sent a candidate XSD at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009May/0019

ACTION to Norm, John:  Review Henry's candidate basic level conformance XSD.

Simon and Paul generally agreed on the resolutions except that
Simon would prefer that some SHOULDs become MUSTs.  We need to
have other WG members review the latest email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0029
and followups and weigh in on the issues.

ACTION to everyone besides Simon and Paul:  Review the latest
xml-stylesheet email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2009Apr/0029
and followups and indicate preferences for resolutions.
