Norm to fix sdocbook (optional caption in informaltable) and release a new version. COMPLETED. g. Jirka to close out RFE 1351109 and respond to the submittor. COMPLETED. 6. DocBook 4.5 standards progress. It was noticed that citebiblioid was not present in the same places as other citation elements, although it should be. Since we are still on 4.5CR1, Norm suggested creating a 4.5CR2 version with this fix before sending it to become an OASIS standard. All committee members should review and test 4.5CR2. We will try for the April cycle for OASIS approval. Norm said it may require another committee ballot because of the change. ACTION: Norm to create 4.5 CR2. ACTION: Norm to call the question to adopt 4.5 CR2 as the committee's candidate for an OASIS standard. ACTION: Norm to determine if we need another official OASIS committee ballot. 7. What to do about citebiblioid? 4.5.1? 4.6? (Norm) See item 6. 8. DocBook 5 issues. Norm released a 5.0 beta4. See his announcement. [2] See the spec for a list of changes. [3] Download the schemas from docbook.org. [4] Discussed whether refmiscinfo element should have an enumerated class element, or a type element. Larry requested that if they are enumerated, then a value of "other" should be supported as well. ACTION: Norm to post to mailing list about enumerated class values on this element. Jirka is using 5.0 with clients, and has posted information on customizing it. [5] Jirka suggested we create a naming scheme for customizations similar to the formal public identifiers for DTDs. ACTION: Bob to add RNG customization naming schemes to next meeting agenda. 9. Resolve ourselves against the new OASIS IPR policy. See http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/chairs/200602/msg00038.html Norm said we must choose one of the three IPR policies or the committee will cease to exist. The OASIS policy document is available for review. [6] Various members have legal resources they can consult. We will try to have more information for the next meeting. ACTION: Mark, Nancy, and Norm will consult their legal resources regarding OASIS IPR policy choice. 10. Review of Requests for Enhancement To browse a specific RFE, enter the URL (on one line): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&; group_id=21935&atid=384107&aid=XXXX 1306027 Support for annotations in synopsis elements Jirka posted a proposal about this. [7] Members should review his proposal. ACTION: Bob to add this to next month's agenda. 1416903 Front and back cover copy This was approved last month, pending Norm's content model suggestion. He added it to DocBook 5.0b4, and the committee approved it. 1434294 Allow MathML in imageobject Since SVG is permitted, allowing MathML seems like a logical addition. No objections, so it was approved. 1440204 New element 'periodical' Jirka suggested using a book element to wrap a set of articles. Larry commented that a periodical is not part of the DocBook domain. The request was denied. 1442460 XInclude in info The info elements were overlooked when the XInclude version of 5.0 was created. The group agreed that they should have it. ACTION: Norm to add to next 5.0 beta. ACTION: Bob and Norm to review RFEs to close any that should be closed.
