Dear www-tag, This is a summary of the TAG's activity from 2 July 2002 (end date of the previous summary [1]) to 7 August 2002. The TAG had four teleconferences during this period; summaries of those meetings are linked from the TAG home page [2]. During the current period, the TAG has primarily: 1) Published the following findings: "Using Qualified Names (QNames) as Identifiers in Content": http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/qnameids -------- Abstract The question that prompted this finding was "are QNames acceptable replacements for URIs as identifiers within specifications?" This finding documents the TAG's opinion on the use of QNames as identifiers. -------- "Consistency of Formatting Property Names, Values, and Semantics" http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/formatting-properties -------- Abstract The use of named formatting properties to influence the presentation of documents on the Web has become widespread. As XML vocabularies are now being combined in many ways, it is imperative that a common set of property names, values, and semantics be maintained. This finding establishes an architectural principle to that effect. -------- 2) Discussed the following issues in substance: - httpRange-14 : What is the range of the HTTP dereference function? http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#httpRange-14 URIEquivalence-15 : When are two URI variants considered equivalent? http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#URIEquivalence-15 3) Accepted the following new issues: - contentTypeOverride-24 : Can a specification include rules for overriding HTTP content type parameters? http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#contentTypeOverride-24 - deepLinking-25 : What to say in defense of principle that deep linking is not an illegal act? http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#deepLinking-25 4) Reached a decision on the following issues: - qnameAsId-18 http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#qnameAsId-18 - formattingProperties-19 http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#formattingProperties-19 5) Architecture Document While there has not been a new draft of the architecture document since the previous summary, the TAG has contributed text for the next draft. The TAG expects to have a first public Working Draft by the end of August.
