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

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon is November 27.



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].

John reviewed it and had no comments.

Paul drafted a message to IETF endorsing 3023-bis -04.
Henry approved it, and Paul sent it to the IETF; see

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.
