Topics Discussed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rob reported on 2. issues being raised in the context of the ongoing ISO 
adoption of OpenDocuemnt:
1) using URIs instead of IRIs
2) referencing of W3C work, that does not yet have REC status (DOM3, CSS3)

URIs/IRIs:
According to RFC3987 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3987.txt) 1.2.a.:

    For example, XML schema [XMLSchema] has an explicit type "anyURI"
    that includes IRIs and IRI references. Therefore, IRIs and IRI
    references can be in attributes and elements of type "anyURI".


Therefore, we believe that the normative grammar of ODF 1.0 allows 
IRI's, even though the text of the specification does not make this 
explicit.

DOM3/CSS3:
The OpenDocuemnt specification makes references to CSS3 and DOM3 
candidate recommendations by the W3C. It has been noted, that these 
specifications, having candidate status, are in part incomplete and are 
likely to be changed in the future.

We however do not reference those specification in whole. We are using 
specific parts of them in order to illustrate similar concepts in 
OpenDocument. Those specific parts have validity of their own, which is 
not bound to the validity to the overall document they are referenced in.
