Request for explanation of namespaces and attributes
----------------------------------------------------
An official request for an explanation of how namespaces affect
attributes an has been sent to xml-editor, archived at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2011JulSep/0000

Henry has already made a brief reply at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2011JulSep/0001
and Bjoern Hoehrmann made a reply on www-tag at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2011Jul/0007

We should work up an official reply.  Since our next telcon isn't
for two weeks, I'd like to start that in email.

ACTION to Paul:  Come up with a draft explanation of namespaces 
and attributes.


xml-stylesheet and HTML5
------------------------
Henry started a thread at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Jul/0008

In the HTML5 spec, when dealing with the XML prolog, there is
nothing about processing instructions, so it isn't clear that
browsers would pick up the xml-stylesheet PI.

John Cowan said there was another part of the spec that applies
to that process, but Henry hasn't yet followed up on that.

ACTION to Henry:  Research to ensure that the xml-stylesheet PI
is appropriately referenced from HTML5 and/or 3023bis (the XML
media type definition).

Note that 3023bis could say that browsers should reference
Assoc SS and process the SSPI when processing an XML resource.


LEIRIs and new editions
-----------------------
We continue to wait to see what might happen with IRIbis.


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.

On hold awaiting resolution of IRIbis.

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

On hold awaiting resolution of IRIbis.

xml-model
---------
Jirka reports he doesn't expect to need another ballot, so
this may soon become an ISO standard.

Some of the comments on the DIS led us to tweak our Note.

Paul prepared an updated draft of the WG Note at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2011/04/xml-model/xml-model-diff.htm

The WG had CONSENSUS to publish XML Model 2nd Ed whose draft is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2011/04/xml-model/xml-model-diff.htm

ACTION to Paul:  Publish XML Model 2nd Ed WG Note.
