Dear www-tag, This is a summary of the TAG's activity from 4 Sep 2002 (end date of the previous summary [1]) to 4 Oct 2002. The TAG had two teleconferences and one face-to-face meeting during this period; summaries of those meetings are linked from the TAG home page [2]. 1) During the current period, the TAG met face-to-face in Vancouver (minutes [3]). The TAG made progress on a number of issues, and discussed comments on the first public draft of the Architecture Document [4]. The TAG expects to publish a revision of the Architecture Document prior to the November 2002 AC meeting. On one issue in particular (xlinkScope-23), there have been a number of replies to a TAG email recommending that XHTML 2.0 use XLink. The TAG thanks those who have contributed to substantive technical discussion and will do what it can to build consensus towards a solution. The TAG will also be responsive to process and communication concerns raised on www-tag. 2) The TAG discussed the following issues in substance: - RFC3023Charset-21 : Do all "shoulds" of RFC 3023 section 7.1 apply? - deepLinking-25 : What to say in defense of principle that deep linking is not an illegal act? - httpRange-14 : What is the range of the HTTP dereference function? - xlinkScope-23 : What is the scope of using XLink? - rdfmsQnameUriMapping-6 : Algorithm for creating a URI from a QName? - namespaceDocument-8 : What should a "namespace document" look like? - mixedNamespaceMeaning-13 : What is the meaning of a document composed of content in mixed namespaces? - contentPresentation-26 : Separation of semantic and presentational markup, to the extent possible, is architecturally sound. Details about discussions and related actions are available in the meeting minutes linked from the TAG's home page. The TAG's issues list is available at: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist 3) The TAG reached a decision on: - httpRange-14: http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/ilist#httpRange-14 For now, the TAG has: a) Agreed to merge two principles (2 and 7 in the 30 September Draft) in the Architecture Document into one: "Ambiguity in the relationship between URIs and resources is harmful for humans and machines." b) Defer the issue, since it may be that the Architecture Document does not rely on an answer to this question, and since there is no consensus in the TAG about the answer to this question. 4) During this period, the TAG published no findings, and did not accept any new issues. Next TAG meeting: 7 October 2002.
