6.0 Errata
Discussion of if/how we can handle errata at this time.

DanC gave an explanation of the process - a few highlights.
+ the documents now belong to the director
+ we may make minor changes in editors draft but
   - the cost is high
   - all changes need to be carefully tracked
   - changes should be made in response to outside comment.
   - fixing typos is OK
+ must not cross line where someone who voted for PR is unhappy with REC

AC reps may make comments which include fixes
AC reps can add comments after having voted

Discussion of XMLLiteral in OWL
see thread starting with
  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2003Nov/0132.html
===
This was the major item this call.

The discussion started with many agreeing (slowly) that S&AS was the normative 
defn of OWL and Test is subsidiary to it.
Herman makes the point that the text of tests misc-201-204 needs to change in 
his position (and misc-205 should be obsoleted).
We discussed these five tests particular misc-205 see

http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-test/misc-200-xmlliteral#miscellaneous-205
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-test/misc-200-xmlliteral#misc-200-xmlliteral

Crucially,  if you have not added reasoning for rdf:XMLLiteral then test 205 
comes out this way, and the four passes for this test indicate that some 
implementors have chosen to not implement rdf:XMLLiteral (or to allow it to 
be switched off)


Hendler: if you have not added reasoning for rdf:XMLLiteral then test 205 
comes out this way.

Herman points to D interpretations being imported in section 5 of S&AS from 
RDF Semantics, D interpretations in RDF Semantics have rdf:XMLLiteral.

Horrocks: section 3 of S&AS definitely does not contain this condition

Herman suggested that the tests depend on section 5 countered, Carroll 
countered by pointing that the primary link from say 
http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-test/#testConsistency is into section 3 of S&AS with 
a secondary link into section 5 of S&AS.

Herman: if OWL DL does not support rdf:XMLLiteral then it is not a semantic 
ext of RDFS

(Sandro and Jim made IRC comments against requiring rdf:XMLLiteral that were 
not part of the verbal telecon)

Herman wanted to add rdf:XMLLiteral to sections 3 and 5 of S&AS and make 
consequential editorial changes. He asserts this is merely a clarification 
(fixing a possible misreading)

Jeremy suggested changing section 5 of S&AS as a clarification and making 
consequential changes in test, principally that misc-205 would be a Lite only 
test.

Jeremy also suggested that the editorial change of s/datatype theory/datatype 
map/ in test to bring it into line with the terminology in S&AS is a good 
one.


Herman believes Carroll proposal (change to test misc-205) is better than no 
change

Carroll noted that business arguments moved him more than technical arguments 
in this case.
 
No consensus was reached.

ACTION jjc Propose editorial change theory to map
ACTION jjc expand proposal to modify 205 without Full

(there was further discussion of dates)
