The TC agreed that we should ask the TAB, as well as the DITA Adoption
TC, to review the spec as soon as it's complete. We won't wait for
public review state before asking them to review, so as to not delay
the public review process. We just need to ensure each spec handed
over for review is complete.

Robert and Bruce to be involved. Any other TC member who would like
to participate in the meeting please send email to Michael.

* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200809/msg00008.html (Robert)
ACTION: Robert to apply option 1 as a bug fix.
8. New ITEM: proposal for DITA 1.3: same document/same topic DITA reference syntax
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200809/msg00009.html (Ogden and following thread)
Jeff: The idea is it's convenient to have the same document reference
syntax. Good discussion on list.
Don raised concern about backwards compatibility.
Jeff: No, the only thing that can go after the '#' character is a
leading '.' character.
Jeff clarified that the previous notation will still be supported.
The purpose of this change is for when you want to move a piece of
XML around via conref or XInclude. This kind of reference without
this notation forces you to do something else to get the topicID
correct. This new notation lets you copy/paste between topics
without breaking links.
Jeff created a Wiki page to accumulate 1.3 feature requests.
CLOSED.

5. Announcements/Opens
Michael: I realized there are some 1.2 items that were pushed off
to the next release, so someone should put them on the new 1.3 Wiki
page to ensure we don't drop them when we transfer from 1.2 to 1.3.
It was hard to find the "dropped from 1.2 items", but I did manage to
find them on our old 1.2 page.
Jeff suggested someone should review the 1.2 list for items that should
be considered for 1.3.
ACTION: Don to add this as a formal item on future agendas so that we
can track our progress.
