Transition request: Publication of XML processor profiles as a Working Group Note

Hello,

Per the minutes of the 5 Feb 2014 telcon

  http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2014/02/05-minutes#item05

and following discussion with our staff contact, the XML Processing
Model Working group requests publication of XML processor profiles as
a Working Group Note.

The SotD outlines our reasons for moving this document to a Note:

   This Note describes several possible profiles of XML that might be
   useful to authors of other specifications. It also attempts to
   classify some axes along which profiles might occur. [...]

   Earlier efforts by this working group focused on making this a
   Recommendation track document. In the intervening years, some of
   this work has been overtaken by events. Many of the sorts of XML
   languages that might have found value in the profiles described
   herein would today be more likely expressed in JSON or some other
   format.

   One impetus for this document was to publish a normative
   description of the XML processing model. Experience suggests that
   the profiles in this document are simultaneously too numerous and
   not numerous enough. It is clear that XML has more than one
   processing model, but it is not clear that there is community
   consensus on what those models are or even by what axes they should
   be classified.

   Though the Working Group has decided not to continue this document
   on the Recommendation track, we have decided to publish it as a
   Note in the hopes that the classifications it does provide may
   prove useful.

You will find a (pubrules clean, I believe) staged version of the
document at:

  http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/staging/NOTE-xml-proc-profiles-20140206/

We request publication on 6 February, or whenever following that's
convenient.

If there's anything else you need, please let me know.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
