XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2013 May 20

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.
Our next telcon will be May 29 (ht regrets).


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

XML Activity AC Review
----------------------
The XML Activity AC review was open through April 26.
There were some comments about modifications to the charter.
We will hear more about that later.


xmlspec.xsl and diffspec.xsl
----------------------------
Paul sent email about this at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2012Nov/0014

ACTION to Norm:  Come up with (and implement) a plan to
reorganize xmlspec.xsl and diffspec.xsl to "do the right thing."


DOM4
----
Henry reported that DOM4 has removed (or deprecated) access to the
XML Declaration. Our Infoset spec says that standalone, version,
and the encoding are part of the information content of an XML
document.

Henry and Paul think the XML Core WG should send an email
to the Web Applications Working Group (public-webapps@w3.org)
to reinstate the parts of the xml decl that are in the Infoset.

Henry drafted a potential comment at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Feb/0023

John filed some thoughts to the contrary at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Feb/0026

Henry figures we should discuss this some more.
Norm is having a hard time caring about all this.

Henry reached out to the webapps working group at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Apr/0009
to try to collect some more data on this issue.


MicroXML
--------
MicroXML is not in our new charter, but we can discuss it.
We will leave this as an ongoing item in our standing agenda.

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

and Paul sent the transition announcement at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Jan/0012
