   <scribe> ACTION: TVR, accepted on 27 Feb 2006: summarize history of
   DTD/namespace/mimetype version practice, including XHTML, SOAP, and

   <scribe> ACTION: TBL, accepted on 27 Feb 2006: write a short email
   to make his point, i.e. XML extensbility: Possible only with a
   framework providing some form of semantics [CONTINUES] [recorded in
   [14]http://www.w3.org/2006/04/25-tagmem-minutes.html#action02]

     [14] http://www.w3.org/2006/04/25-tagmem-minutes.html#action02

   point being: that extensibility with a framework such as CDF makes
   sense, but extensibilXML extensbility: Possible only with a
   framework providing some form of semanticsy in general does not. [?]

issue namespaceState-48

   <ht> [15]http://www.w3.org/1999/10/nsuri is in an odd state

     [15] http://www.w3.org/1999/10/nsuri

   <ht> it says "A new version of this document is available. "

   <DanC_> [16]URIs for W3C Namespaces 1.36 2006/01/20

     [16] http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

   TBL: one comment was that "Namespace Changes over Time" doesn't make
   sense

   <ht> [17]namespaceState finding

     [17] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/namespaceState.html

   <noah> From the finding: "Colloquially, we often speak of ´adding a
   nameĦ to a namespace. Here we prefer to speak of ´defining a nameĦ
   or otherwise licensing the interpretation of a name."

   <Norm> Precisely.

   NM: section 4 could cite the finding more locally
   ... section 4 i.e. [18]http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri#Policy

     [18] http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri#Policy

   <noah> Suggestion (rough not exact): a) leave title of section 4 b)
   In that section, say something like "The TAG finding 'The
   Disposition of Names in an XML Namespace' explains how the use of a
   particular namespace may evolve over time. At the W3C, it is
   important for a group to state clearly its expectations for how
   namespaces it controls will..."

   <noah> ...and the continue with the text already in the doc, edited
   if necessary.

   <noah> In that section, say something like "The TAG finding 'The
   Disposition of Names in an XML Namespace' explains how the use of a
   particular namespace may evolve over time. At the W3C, it is
   important for a group to state clearly its expectations for how use
   of the namespaces it controls will..."

   <noah> Dan if you commit this, you'll need to create a hyperlink for
   the TAG finding.

   <Vincent> Hi Ian

   <Ian> I was pinged on the topic of nsuri...

   <Ian> I heard:

   <Vincent> Dan is updating the nsuri document to add a reference to
   the TAG finding in section 4.

   <Ian> 1) TAG ok with [19]http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

     [19] http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

   <Ian> 2) Add a ref

   <Ian> +1 to adding ref.

   <Ian> The document has already been announced as "en vigeur" to the
   chairs.

   <DanC_> [20]http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri#Policy 1.52

     [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2006JanMar/0026.html

   <Ian> Bjoern had expressed some concerns.

   <Ian> Would you like to see them?

   <timbl> Ian, would you like to join the call for a bit?

   Ian, wanna dial in? or not bother?

   <Ian> Sure.

   <DanC_> [22]http://www.w3.org/1999/10/nsuri v 1.63 2006/04/25
   17:54:40 is obsolete

     [22] http://www.w3.org/1999/10/nsuri

   <noah> Responding to Dan's request that I hatch yet a bit more text:

   <noah> The draft currently says:

   <noah> Groups SHOULD document those expectations in [or clearly
   linked from] the Namespace Document.

   <Ian>
   [23]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Feb/0000.htm
   l

     [23] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Feb/0000.html

   <noah> How about putting after that: "Draft TAG Finding Associating
   Resources with Namespaces provides additional guidance on the
   creation of such namespace documents."

   <DanC_> [24]Comments on URIs for W3C Namespaces Bjoern Hoehrmann 01
   Feb 2006

     [24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Feb/0000.html

   <DanC_> bumper sticker from finding: "Specifications that define
   namespaces SHOULD explicitly state their policy with respect to
   changes in the names defined in that namespace."

   HT: not sure about "this specification" indexical in the examples..

   <ht> "The definitions of names in this namespace will not change
   from those given in the June 13 2007 version of the Foonly spec
   [ref. dated URI]"

   <DanC_> yes, that's an improvement to example 1, HT

   <ht> ... "Subsequent versions of thte Foonly spec which make any
   substantive changes will do so in a new namespace"

   <timbl> For example, the namespace document could contain text along
   the following lines.

   <DanC_> 1.53 $ of $Date: 2006/04/25 18:05:59
   [25]http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

     [25] http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

   <DanC_> 1.54 $ of $Date: 2006/04/25 18:08:34

   <DanC_> Ian, 1.54 is it. pls let Bjoern know.

   <Ian> yay!

   <Ian> Merci

   <Ian> Would you think that your changes will satisfy him?

   <Ian> (He'll let us know, certainly)

   <DanC_> I do hope these changes address his comment

   <Ian> Ok, thank you.

State Finding

   <DanC_> [31]draft state finding

     [31] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/state-20060419.html

   DO: Ed did a thorough review; I think I addressed his comments...
   ... I reorganized some stuff, moving some stuff before examples so
   that I could refer to it in discussion of pros/cons

   (is this changelog in email somehwere? or do I need to record it?)

   <DanC_> [32]Updated State Finding 19 Apr 2006

     [32] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2006Apr/0026.html

   DO: I compared/constrasted approaches to getStockQuote a bit...
   ... I have considerable comments from Baker and Nottingham; haven't
   started addressing those yet
   ... I'd like to talk about this 9 May; I'm not avaiable 16 nor 23
   May

   NM: I see an opportunity to reduce the text in the early sections
   quite a bit

   DO: yes, I can imagine a shorter "letter" given longer time

   /State.html

     [33] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2006Apr/att-0014/State.html

   TBL: I like abstracts that make the relevant points in one paragraph

   <DanC_> (I think that's a high bar; I raraly meet it myself.)

   <noah> +1 to Tim's comment.

   TBL: is this a summary? There are several types of app ... state...
   client... server... stateful... stateles...
   ... cookies is an example of the 1st; @@ is an example of the 2nd;
   $ZZZ is always bad

   <DanC_> (I'm not asking for less text, btw. I haven't read it
   closely enough to judge whether there's a lot of redundancy. I'm
   asking for the thesis statement(s) to be highlighted)
