> We should wait to see what if any feedback we get from the

> our charter.

We did get mostly positive feedback from Chris Lilley at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2012Feb/0000

> ACTION to Norm:  Publicize the XInclude 1.1 Requirement and

> interest?) and see if you can drum up any feedback.

Norm did post something to the DocBook TC:

ACTION to Norm continued.



XML Model
---------

Jirka reminded us that ISO published XML Model as an international
standard.  One can buy it at
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=54793

He said that the process is in order to try to allow the ISO version
to be published for free.

We will wait to see if it becomes freely available and then update
our note to reference it.

ACTION to Jirka:  Check with the ISO working group about the
status of making the ISO version free.
