> 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.

Henry: No progress.

Action continued.

> Extending Xinclude
> ------------------
> Norm sent email on behalf of DocBook at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Jul/0013
> asking whether we want to consider extending Xinclude.
>
> The key issue is that xincluding content can often cause
> duplicate ids, and the question is whether we can define
> some kind of fix up.
>
> See http://docbook.org/docs/transclusion-requirements/#uc-5
> for a use case.
>
> See http://www.docbook.org/docs/transclusion/#d6e180 for
> some DocBook proposals for id fixup.
>
> A processor might be able to find ids and/or idrefs if xml:id
> is used and/or there is a DTD/schema available, and even if 
> that is the case, fixup would only work within the included
> module, but is that partial case worth augmenting XInclude.
>
> Liam suggests the only real solution is to do a transformation,
> so he doesn't feel there is an XInclude solution.
>
> Norm will try to implement Jirka's proposals using xproc.
>
> ACTION to Norm:  Try to implement Jirka's proposals using xproc.

Norm concludes it's probably not.

Liam: I had in mind reimplementing XInclude in XSLT.

Norm: With doc-available or try/catch, I guess you just might manage
that.

Liam: Another way to look at it is, is it a use case worth taking back
to the XSLT WG.

ACTION to Norm: Try to implement Jirka's proposals using XSLT+XProc.

Norm: It did occur to me that if XInclude would just leave some sort
of a marker on the top-level elements that it includes, then maybe
that would be a hook for subsequent processing.

Jirka: That's what my implementation does, but it doesn't use XInclude
elements because they don't have that semantic.

Norm wonders if he'd get more support for the "identify roots"
extension to XInclude.

Glenn expresses some support.

Liam thinks it makes sense.
