Progress but the action remains open.

We discussed the point about the spec recommending [P1] the use 
of the UTF-8 BOM.

> We seem to have three choices:
> 
> 1.  allow use of the @xpointer attribute when parse=text
> 2.  add a new "@textptr" attribute to use when parse=text
> 3.  add a new "@fragid" attribute to use in all cases and possibly
>     deprecate the @xpointer attribute

> We are leaning toward choice #2 which Norm will include in the

> 
> Extending XInclude
> ------------------
> We've discussed extending xinclude to copy attributes on the
> xinclude element down to the root included element.
> 
> Some issues include:
> 
> 1.  exactly what attributes to copy?  Henry and Liam preferred to
> copy un-prefixed attributes (except those in the xinclude spec) too.
> 
> Norm worries what this would mean if we add another attribute
> in the XInclude spec?
> 
> Henry wants to be able to have unprefixed attributes copied
> onto the root included element.
> 
> Henry: we could add a new "copy me without prefix" namespace
> to xinclude.
> 
> Norm doesn't need that, but could live with it.
> 
> 2.  what to do about attribute conflict (error or one or the other
> wins).
> 
> 3.  whether we should "log" additions (e.g., via an attribute that
> says what attributes were added).
> 
> At first, we didn't think this was much of a concern, but then we
> realized perhaps it was something worth considering.
> 
> 4.  whether we should have some way for targets to say whether they
> can be xincluded and/or, when included, have attributes added.
> 
> 
> XInclude 1.1
> ------------
> This would address the two issues discussed above:
> * @xpointer when parse="text"
> * copying attributes from the xinclude element to the root
>   included element
> 
> If we want to produce an XInclude 1.1, we will need an amended
> charter as indicated by Ian at
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Dec/0014
> but we can discuss requirements now.
> 
> Norm drafted an initial XInclude 1.1 requirements document at
> http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/01/xinclude-11-requirements/

Paul and Jirka said it looked good, but we didn't get a chance
to discuss during the telcon.
