The XML Core WG telcons are every other week. Our next telcon will be 2012 May 30. Status and open actions ======================= Fall TPAC --------- There will be a TPAC meeting in Lyon, France in October/November: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Mar/0006 We have signed up to have a WG f2f there. Likely to attend: Norm, Liam, Henry, Jirka, Mohamed Not likely to attend: Glenn, Paul, John, Daniel Request for xml:href et al. --------------------------- Someone (apparently from the National Research Council of Canada) sent a message to xml-editor archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2012AprJun/0000 requesting that we add xml:href, xml:rel, and xml:type attributes. Paul sent the WG response at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2012AprJun/0001 The commenter replied at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2012AprJun/0002 with more questions and suggestions. There was a bit more WG discussion, but nothing to change our minds. We are probably at permanent loggerheads here--not sure if there's much more we can do, but suggestions are welcome. xml-stylesheet and HTML5 ------------------------ Hnery took an action to file a bug about xml-stylesheet handling. Done: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14689 Henry has done a lot more testing and filing of results to date. Henry's tests are at http://www.w3.org/XML/2011/11/ssTests/ You need to look at the README and README2 files there. The CSS2 spec says something about styling XML with CSS. Henry also notes http://www.w3.org/Style/styling-XML.en.html. ACTION to Henry: File a bug against the HTML5 spec saying that it should support styling XML with CSS. issues with the Polyglot draft: BOM ------------------------------------ Henry sent email with various potential issues at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2011Nov/0037 We discussed the point about the spec recommending [P1] the use of the UTF-8 BOM. [P1] http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-xhtml-author-guide/#character-encoding Henry thinks we converged on this in email on Wednesday 11 January: See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Jan/0007 Henry filed an issue against Polyglot about the BOM: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012May/0000 Someone pushed back saying that the BOM is more robust than the meta as a way of signaling UTF-8, so we shouldn't make meta the preferred way of doing it. The proposed compromise is that neither would be listed as preferred. We're okay with that compromise. ACTION to Henry: Accept the compromise. issues with the Polyglot draft: xml:space and xml:base ------------------------------------------------------- See the minutes at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Jan/0016 for the discussion. Henry has drafted two issues regarding xml:space and xml:base in the Polyglot draft and HTML5 for WG review; see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012May/0001 and provide comments. Norm thinks Henry's draft is fine. Let's submit it and see what happens. ACTION to Henry: Submit his comments on xml:space and xml:base. XInclude 1.1 ------------ On 2012 February 14, we published XInclude 1.1 Requirement and Use Cases http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude-11-requirements/ summarizing the requirements and use cases for possible enhancements to XInclude addressing the issues: * @xpointer when parse="text" * copying attributes from the xinclude element to the root included element We did get mostly positive feedback from Chris Lilley at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-xinclude-comments/2012Feb/0000 Norm has posted something to the DocBook TC: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/201202/msg00001.html Norm nudged the DocBook mailing list again http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/201204/msg00000.html and did publish this a few weeks ago: http://norman.walsh.name/2012/02/20/xinclude11 Jirka gave some more feedback at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/201204/msg00002.html and also included it at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Apr/0002 Daniel raised a concern about there possibly not being a root included element at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Apr/0010 and Jirka responded at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Apr/0011 We will need to consider this issue when we draft the spec. An updated charter is in the process of an internal W3M review, and then it would need to be reviewed by the AC. We don't expect any pushback, but in practice it will probably take a couple months before we really have a new charter. Meanwhile we could work on an XInclude 1.1 draft, but we couldn't publish it until we have our new charter. Norm is willing to continue to be editor of XInclude 1.1. We will start working on a draft over the next couple months by which time we should have a new charter and be able to publish. 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. Jirka reported that the ISO process for making the ISO version free is a bit involved. WG1 has to recommend to SC34 that the spec be made public. This should happen at a June 2012 meeting. Then there is a 60 day ballot in SC34, then there is a 60 day ballot at the JTC1 level. If all goes well, ISO/IEC 19757-11 could be published at the ITTF page in late 2012. So it doesn't look like we'd be updating our XML Model WG Note before 2013.
