XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2013 November 4

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon is November 13.
Probable regrets from Loren and David (TPAC).


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.

ACTION to David and Loren: Discuss the issues with taking
XML Schema (1.0 and 1.1) to ISO and recommend a path.


XML Media types (3023bis)
-------------------------
The latest (diff marked) draft (dated November 4, 2013 ) is at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-04_diff.html

Comments and resolutions at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/02-comments.html

Please note in particular that a significant addition has been made to
section 3.6 [1], to address the fact that the XML spec. itself defers
to this spec. to define the precedence of charset parameter [in the
http header], BOM and XML encoding declaration [both in the document].

ACTION to John:  Review the latest 3023-bis draft.

ACTION to Henry: Continue to implement various comments including
some remaining ones of Paul at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2013Nov/0002

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.
