We note that both Mohamed and Norm are absent, and they
were tending toward wanting xlink to point to 1.1.

John now thinks xlink should continue to point to 1.0.

Henry points out that the TR page mentions "XLink" only
once, and when you link to that, you get 1.1, so he is
happy with the status quo.

Henry would like to be able to edit XLink 1.0 in place
to mention 1.1, but he's not sure Ian will let us do that.
We could go the PER route to do this is we wanted.

ACTION to Paul:  Ask Ian about the possibilities of editing 
XLink 1.0 in place to mention 1.1.

We had some more discussion and came up with a proposal
to present to the WG.

Proposed:  Rescind instructions to the editors of our previous
proposal (which was to insert verbatim the above quoted paragraph)
and request a new PER call based on the draft at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2010/05/xml-stylesheet/diff.html
and DanielG's acceptance of that draft at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2010Aug/0002

ACTION to Paul:  Put the previous proposal to the WG in email.
