DRAFT #2: Transition Request: PER Request for Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second Edition)

Here is my (hopefully final) draft Transition Request for PER 
for Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second Edition).

Henry, see my suggested SoTD below, but feel free to adjust
if you feel it necessary.  Note that the PER-ready draft
should be put into
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/04/xml-stylesheet/
to match what this request says below.  Also note the
expected 20 April publication date.

I plan to send in this request as soon as Henry announces
the PER-ready draft is in 
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/04/xml-stylesheet/

Liam, Carine, 

Please let me know if I have the "To" list below correct.
(For example, should I still be sending to plh and ralph
and/or should I be including Jeff Jaffe, Philipp Hoschka 
or someone else?)

The XML Core WG requests transition of 
  Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second Edition)
available at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/04/xml-stylesheet/
to a Proposed Edited Recommendation (PER).  

The URL cited above is for the most recent Member-only 
version of the specification as of 9 April 2010,   
dated to reflect the expected publication date of
20 April 2010 and designed to be published by having
the directory moved over to
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/PER-xml-stylesheet-20100420/   
in its entirety.

The Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (First Edition) 
was published on 29 June 1999 at
http://www.w3.org/1999/06/REC-xml-stylesheet-19990629/
as a Recommendation.  

This second edition incorporates all known errata as of the 
publication date, clarifies several areas left unspecified 
in the earlier edition, and has been restructured to allow 
other specifications to reuse the rules for parsing 
pseudo-attributes from a string. This edition, once it 
becomes a Recommendation, will supersede the previous edition 
of 29 June 1999.

Changes since the first edition are outlined in Appendix B.

Several editor's drafts of this Second Edition have been 
published, most recently that of 2010 March 22 at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/03/xml-stylesheet/
and comments have been solicited and reflected in this
latest draft PER as indicated in a Disposition of Comments at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/01/disposition.html.
 
The WG's decision to request transition to a PER was taken 
during a WG telcon on April 7 whose minutes may be found at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2010Apr/0007


SCHEDULE

We propose a publication date of 20 April 2010.

We propose that the PER period lasts from the date of publication
until 22 May 2010.


PROPOSED PER TITLE, ABSTRACT AND STATUS SECTIONS

Associating Style Sheets with XML documents 1.0 (Second Edition)

Abstract
--------
This document allows style sheets to be associated with an XML 
document by including one or more processing instructions with 
a target of xml-stylesheet in the document's prolog.

Status of this Document
-----------------------
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of
current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical
report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at
http://www.w3.org/TR/.

This document is a product of the XML Core Working Group as part of the
W3C XML Activity. The English version of this specification is the only
normative version. However, for translations of this document, see
http://www.w3.org/2003/03/Translations/byTechnology?technology=xml-style
sheet.

This second edition incorporates all known errata as of the publication
date, clarifies several areas left unspecified in the earlier edition,
and has been restructured to allow other specifications to reuse the
rules for parsing pseudo-attributes from a string. A more detailed
description of the changes from the first edition is in B Changes since
the first edition. This edition, once it becomes a Recommendation, will
supersede the previous edition of 29 June 1999.

W3C Advisory Committee Members are invited to send formal review 
comments to the W3C Team until 22 May 2010. Advisory Committee 
Representatives should consult their WBS questionnaires. The 
public is invited to send comments on this document to 
www-xml-stylesheet-comments@w3.org; public archives are available. 

Publication as a Proposed Edited Recommendation does not imply 
endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document 
and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents 
at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other 
than work in progress.

W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection
with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions
for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a
patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must
disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent
Policy.
