XML Processor Profiles review
-----------------------------
There is a substantially reworked XML Processing Model WG's
Last Call Working Draft of "XML processor profiles" at
http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/xml-proc-profiles.html

John and Glenn re-reviewed the latest version
of the XML processor profiles last call draft at
http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/xml-proc-profiles.html
and had a variety of comments at the last telcon.

***ACTION to John, Glenn:  Send your comments on the latest 
version of the XML processor profiles last call draft at
http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/xml-proc-profiles.html
to the Processing Model comments list at
public-xml-processing-model-comments@w3.org


Name-escaping spec
------------------
Henry sent email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Mar/0018
asking if we should consider producing a WG Note recommending 
an escaping scheme for turning (mostly) arbitrary strings into
XML names as a Best Practice.


LEIRIs and new editions
-----------------------
Paul sent email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Mar/0007
asking for clarification of just we are planning to do in
terms of issuing new editions wrt LEIRIs. 

Paul's latest assumption is that we would have the new editions
point to our WG Note which already says:

 When [IRIbis is published as an RFC], this specification will be
 re-issued to reference it in place of the extracts given below.

We are concerned that the XML specs would be normatively referencing
an RFC through a (non-normative) WG Note, so we're not sure what we
want to do here.

***ACTION to Henry:  Ping Larry Masinter (one of the authors of
IRIbis) for the latest on the IRIbis schedule.

XML 1.0 6th Edition and XML 1.1 3rd Edition
-------------------------------------------
ACTION to John:  Update the XML sources for XML 1.0 and 1.1
to reflect any errata and the LEIRI reference.


XInclude 3rd Edition
--------------------
ACTION to Paul:  Update the XML sources for Xinclude to reflect 
any errata and the LEIRI reference.


Associating Stylesheets
-----------------------
See also http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#assoc-ss

AssocSS 2nd Ed is now a Recommendation at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-xml-stylesheet-20101028/

***ACTION to Henry: Update the Errata document at
http://www.w3.org/1999/06/REC-xml-stylesheet-19990629/errata


xml-model
---------
The ballot has been approved.  There were four comments which
need to be addressed which means there will probably be another
ISO vote.

Some of the comments lead us to tweak our Note.

ACTION to Paul:  Prepare an updated draft of the WG Note to 
reflect the comments.
