Minutes for 2007 Feb 6th

First, TC sends condolences to Gershon
Joseph and his family.

1: status of specification draft

- Michael Priestley: architectural spec
- still some Jeff Ogden comments to incorporate, as well as chunk att description,
ditaval description to move to language spec

        -
expect final draft later today

- Robert Anderson: language spec - table
of attributes, ditaval description to incorporate, examples to add as time
permits

- expect CD vote next week

-------

2. Eliot Kimber issue summary: 

- Michael Priestley has made changes
- using editorial privilege, no word from Eliot

3. conref href value issue:

- Michael Priestley has made changes
- open issue is whether fragment identifier is valid according to URI spec
- default is to leave description as-is, absent input

4. chunk attribute proposal:

 - Jeff Ogden providing later today,
then being pulled into spec by MP

5. change to schema design:

 - Eric Sirois:

        bind
class attribute to element rather than having separate type

        change
will not break existing specializations

        requires
change to write up in arch spec for schema creation - ES todo

Don Day moves to accept change/refactoring
of schemas to move class att

MP second

no objections

recommended tests: validate specialization
against new base, build output using new schemas, view attribute in editor

michael gannon: make sure we do major
testing - this is a comprehensive change and late in the schedule

also: list of defined schema values/identifiers

        equivalent
to public identifiers for DTDs

        requires
incorporating into arch spec - ES to send updated topic to MP

6. review CD schedule - aim for CD vote
next week
