XML Core WG Status and Open Actions as of 2014 March 10

The XML Core WG telcons are every other week.

Our next telcon will be March 19.

**************************************************************

Our next telcon on March 19 falls in the period after which
North America has started daylight ("summer") hours but before
which the UK and Europe has.  Since our telcons are scheduled
on Boston time, our telcon of March 19 will occur one hour
*earlier* local time for those calling from the UK and Europe.

Comment that an entity cannot "begin" with a BOM as suggested in section

ACTION to John and Henry: Review and comment on the above two comments
on the discussion of BOMs in section 4.3.3 of the XML spec.

Comment about documents with an "empty DTD":
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2014Jan/thread#msg8
and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2014JanMar/

Henry suggests we could probably make the XML spec clearer here;
see also his comments at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2014JanMar/0004

Paul sent the WG response at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2014JanMar/0005
and there was more back from the commentor at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2014JanMar/

ACTION to Henry: Read the post-February 6 email at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-editor/2014JanMar/
and let us know what you think we should do.


Submitting XML Schema 1.1 to ISO
--------------------------------
See also
https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/Core#xml-schema

We have decided we will first publish XML Schema 1.1 2E (with
approved errata). After that, we would send XML Schema 1.1 2E
(only) to ISO.

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

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

It looks like there are 3 bugs for Structures, none for Datatypes,
but after checking with Michael, he found
https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.errata-2012.html
which shows 8 errata items whereas bugzilla shows only 3.

We discussed
https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.errata-2012.html

Henry figures we can just publish this document.

Loren still needs to check with Michael that things
are appropriately checked in and, if so, we should
just push this document through the tool chain and
publish.

ACTION to Loren: Communicate with Michael as necessary
and produce an XML Schema 1.1 2E document.


Reviewing HTML5 Polyglot Markup
-------------------------------
We've been asked to review something at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2014Feb/0000
though I'm requesting clarification at
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2014JanMar/0076
about just what we've supposed to review.

It's not clear just what we're being asked to review,
but Norm has a copy of the spec and will review it.

John didn't remember any issues.

ACTION to Norm:  Review the HTML5 Polyglot Markup spec.


XML Media types (3023bis)
-------------------------
There is now a February 23 draft at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-08
with a diff at
http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-08_diff
and a DoC at http://www.w3.org/XML/2012/10/3023bis/07-comments.html
...and finally a March 2 draft at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-xml-mediatypes-09
(I could find no DoC or non-auto diff).

[Henry, the first sentence of the last paragraph of section 2.2
includes the phrase "are given names in in [UNICODE]"--note
the extra "in".]

Paul has sent another WG email of support at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2014Mar/0003
and
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/apps-discuss/current/msg11550.html

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.

Norm may see if he knows anyone still working on Xerces.

Norm is planning to write a SAX filter to implement XInclude 1.1.
He believes this will lead to a way for using XInclude 1.1 with
Saxon's XSLT processor and most any other Java based tool.
