Hmm... the meeting record is there to record, more or less, what people said at the meeting. With the exception of those things denoted RESOLVED: ..., there's no claim that everybody agreed, nor that you should feel compelled to speak up if you disagree. The relevant text we're seeking consensus on is section 3.3.1. When to use XML http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2002/webarch-20030206#format-specs Suggestions for improving that text are more interesting, at this point, than picking up random points out of the context of the meeting. Please direct your suggestions to Chris in particular (with copy to www-tag) as he has the action to do the next draft for review of section 3 on formats. http://www.w3.org/2003/02/06-tag-summary#archdoc-cl Ah... I think I follow you now... the meeting record suggests Chris is likely to include "xml gives interop" in his next draft... > o the term 'interoperability' is vague and > has created misunderstanding in the past; a more > formal definition of the term is needed, > > o a formal statement of the relationship of XML > to "interoperability" is needed if the cited text > remains. OK, I trust Chris will do what he can to address those suggestions in his next draft. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
