Chaired by Don Day
Recorded by JoAnn Hackos

    We have quorum.

3.  Business:

    ITEM: Discussion of #12048 -- expanded header for reltable
	
	EH has not updated this as yet. Deferred to next meeting.

    ITEM: Discussion of #12052 DITA ArchVersion

	Approved by acclimation. RA moved; AH seconded
	Discussion about the .dita and .xml extensions. Improves the use of xml:lang

    ITEM: Discussion of #12050 Attributes for DITA elements
	
	PG encourages everyone to read carefully.
	
	The <lq> is a complex example. Add scope attribute to handle external and internal; depracate
	the type attibute. 
	
	The goal is to make the attributes appropriately consistent; should be more explicit
	about the deprecated elements or attributes.

	<longdesc> -- deprecate; use as a subelement rather than an attribute for <longdescref>
	and <longdescscope>

	add <longdescref> subelement to image
	add scope and format attribute

	image with nested longdescref elements (format and scope)
	Would be parallel to <alttitle>

	Need to update the <object> element

    ACTION: Michael Priestley will update. 
   
    ITEM: Review the W3C XML Best Practice document

        DD and RA to review
