Acceptance of Minutes of the September, the 27th meeting
-------------------------------------------------------
- The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes.


Action Items
------------
- Lars Oppermann: Preparation of MIME type registration.
   - in progress, see below
- Michael Brauer: Prepare TC charter clarification
   - in progress



MIME type registration
----------------------
Security statement should be similar to those in other related types 
e.g. XHTML, stating, that documents may contain scripts/programs which 
are interpreted/executed by the recipients computer; thus the recipient 
needs to trust the sender, before he allows the interpretation/execution 
of such scripts/programs. Security statements do not cover security 
related type features like encryption/electronic-signature.
A version parameter does not seem so desirable, because it doesn't add 
any benefit to the content handling while adding complexity to the process.

CustomShape Proposal
----------------------------------------
The TC discussed the proposal to integrate CustomShape functionality 
into the existing specification (see
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200409/msg00036.html). The
TC unanimously agreed to this proposal.
