2. Technical agenda

2.1. PR #1753: 1750 Overhaul of EXPath binary spec

   See PR [111]#1753.

2.2. PR #1746: Replace processing model diagrams

   See PR [112]#1746.

2.3. Issue triage

   Using the PRG-* tags seems like it would be inviting confusion. New
   tags proposal:
     * Reviewed-required, this is a required feature; we can't progress
       without it.
     * Reviewed-optional, this is an optional feature we're still hoping
       to finish.
     * Reviewed-close, this is an optional feature that we'd like to have,
       but we're going to abandon it if no one provides a detailed change
       proposal. (This category implies "close without further action" at
       the next meeting.)
     * Reviewed-easy, Reviewed-hard, optional tags indicating the
       consensus intuition about how difficult it would be to address the
       issue.

   There are 70 untriaged issues. We can start at the top, or the bottom,
   or with nominations for "easy to categorize" issues.
