Accept this agenda?
-> [12]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2010/12/16-agenda
Accepted.
Accept minutes from the previous meeting?
-> [13]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2010/11/18-minutes
Accepted.
Next meeting: telcon, 6 Jan 2011?
Skipping the rest of December for seasonal festivities.
No regrets heard.
Resolve question of parsing rules for “{“ and “}” in
p:document-template and any other issues.
-> [14]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/template-note.html
Henry: I want to behave as much like XQuery as possible.
Alex: I think it's XSLT not XQuery that we're copying.
Vojtech: In the first version of the document there were different rules.
Now we have rules more like XQuery wrt curly braces and quotes.
Some discussion about the current rules.
Vojtech: I think we're currently consistent with what XQuery does.
Norm: I think the only question is, if you see "}" in xpath-mode, do you
look for another "}" or do you end the expression?
Vojtech: No, I proposed that if you're not in XPath mode and you see "}"
then you just treat it literally.
Norm: So "}}" remains "}}"?
Vojtech: No. If you see "}}" you output "}", if you see an unescaped "}",
you just recover from the escaping error and output the "}"
Alex: I think the current rules could allow nested expressions in the
future.
Vojtech: I'm just observing that you could recover, I'm not pushing for
it.
Norm: I think it will be confusing to do error recovery, so I propose not.
Alex: We could do that, and be done with it.
Proposal: Add a new rule to "regular-mode" which states that an unquoted
"}" is an error.
Accepted.
Norm: I'll also add a note to the xpath-mode section to note that "}"
doesn't look for "}}", it ends "greedily"
... I'll update the spec and republish it in our space, with a plan to
make it an official note in January if no one sees any other problems.
Last Call comments on our processor profiles document
-> [15]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2010/11/lc-comments/
Vojtech: Does the minimum profile require parsing of namespaces?
... Now I think it's clear in the text.
... The other issue is the one that David Lee raised about having a much
simpler profile.
Henry: That amounts to subsetting XML.
Norm: I'm very conflicted. I think what David Lee wants makes logical
sense, but it's not clear that we have remit to go there.
More discussion about infosets and subsets of XML and the fact that our
section 2 says we start with a namespace well-formed document.
Henry observes that if we named a smaller subset, then parsers that could
do it only wouldn't be able to handle any well-formed XML which is not the
case today.
Proposal: Politely decline on the basis that it wouldn't be XML. It's not
illogical, but we can't go there.
Accepted.
Any other business?
Vojtech: What about my question about connecting output ports of compound
steps?
->
[16]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2010Dec/0000.html
Norm: I think 5.11 overstates what we intended.
Vojtech: Our implementation allows it.
Norm: Yeah, I guess it makes sense. I don't think my implementation allows
it but that's neither here nor there.
Vojtech: I think the rule in 5.11 is quite convenient.
Norm: And allowing it is an editorial change were forbidding it would be a
technical changes, because 5.11 says it's currently allowed.
Proposal: Add an erratum to say that the output port of a compound step
can be directly connected to any of the compound step's readable ports.
Accepted.
<scribe> ACTION: Norm to write an erratum to allow he output port of a
compound step can be directly connected to any of the compound step's
readable ports. [recorded in
[17]http://www.w3.org/2010/12/16-xproc-minutes.html#action01]
Alex: Do we produce a new version with the errata merged in?
Norm: We can, but we don't have to.
Henry: It's polite to do it.
Paul: That would be a second edition.
Henry: I think it's fine to wait at least a year.
Norm: So do I.
... Happy holidays and happy new year to one and all!
Adjourned.
