XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2013 November 18

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon on December 11 will be the last telcon of the year.
After that, our subsequent telcon will be January 8.


Status and open actions
=======================

Submitting XML Schema 1.1 to ISO
--------------------------------
Liam raised the question of whether the W3C should submit
XML Schema 1.0 & 1.1 as an ISO standard; some discussion ensued:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Oct/thread#msg28
and we had more discussion on our last two telcons.

David, Loren, Jirka met (and later talked to Liam). They decided
we should first publish XML Schema 1.1 2E (with approved errata).
After that, we would send XML Schema 1.1 2E (only) to ISO.
The WG has consensus to go with this plan.

Loren has offered to do the editorial duties, and David
talked to CMSMCQ about getting some more help in the details.

Henry might be able to help with the tool chain needed to
publish XML Schema 1.1.

ACTION to Loren and David: Produce a publication-ready version
of XML Schema 1.1 2E incorporating the approved errata.


XML Media types (3023bis)
-------------------------
The latest (diff marked) draft (dated November 19, 2013) is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-06_diff.html

Subsequently, there was further discussion of Appendix B and how
to reference it; see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Nov/thread#msg21

ACTION to Henry: Continue to edit 3023bis.

XInclude 1.1
------------
On 2012 February 14, we published
XInclude 1.1 Requirement and Use Cases
http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude-11-requirements/

On 9 October 2012, we published our FPWD of XInclude 1.1 at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/WD-xinclude-11-20121009/

On 15 January 2013, we published our (first) Last Call of
XInclude 1.1 at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-xinclude-11-20130115/
and Paul sent the transition announcement at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Jan/0012
(also cc-ing the chairs mailing list).

On 2013 October 8, we published the XInclude 1.1 CR at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-xinclude-11-20131008/

Norm reports that Michael Kay's code just accesses Xerces code,
so Norm might have to work with Xerces.

DV reports that he is busy and so cannot commit to a deadline
for adding XInclude 1.1 support to libxml.

ACTION to Norm:  Continue to work toward getting XInclude 1.1
implementations and document them in our implementation report.
