B. Namespace Versioning
The policy of changing the namespace every version is complicating the XSLTs to process XLIFF documents.  Comments were recently submitted describing the problem: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200602/msg00005.html

Doug Domeny provides a synopsys of the issues in the following email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200602/msg00006.html and calls for discussion on the topic.

Latest Draft of Java Resources Profile: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14554/xliff-profile-java-1.1-draft-1.zip 

Although the TC provisionally agreed at last meeting to have a ballot starting September 30th, a number of issues arose during the review which require discussion in a teleconference. The issues are documented in the following mails: 

i. Handling escaping and replaceables in XLIFF -> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00013.html 
ii. A number of issues in this email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00023.html 
1/Differentiate between different Java platforms/versions 
2/Address XML-based properties 
3/Provide pointers to Java pages on internationalization 
4/Sketch the Extract&Merge Paradigm 
5/Handling of references (especially to non-textual resources) 
6/Approach for comments 
c.survey of existing parsing tools ->http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200509/msg00025.html 

These issues have not yet been addressed - need final word on escaping. 

d. PO Files: 
THIS ISSUE IS CLOSED - leaving in agenda for historical purposes. 
No licensing issues exist with the work that was submitted to the XLIFF TC by Paul Gampe. 
The proposed final PO file document submitted for ballot: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/download.php/14854/xliff-profile-po.zip 
The ballot achieved a simple majority, and therefore PASSED and results are here: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xliff/ballot.php?id=851 

This representation guide will now be distributed along with the other resource type guides. 

D. Open issues:

~ Open until resolution of namespace issue. 
- Action Item: Mat will submit a proposal on how to handle Voice XML issues.

Latest Update: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200403/msg00017.html 
Await update from Mat on any concrete proposals... 
Mat was not online and we need to resolve the namespace issue. 

b. Extending XLIFF with separate namespaces. Addressing this issue is deferred until the new year (when Andzrej has volunteered to spend some time on research). 

4/XLIFF 1.2 Certification activities: 
Placeholder for any Ignite issues requiring discussion... 

5/ Reports from liaisons involved with other standards groups: 
A. W3C i18n

XLIFF 1.2 Committee Draft Specification: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/16367/draft-xliff-core-1.2-20060123.zip 
This work will now be submitted to OASIS for a public review. We will discuss later in the meeting which representation guides should be included. This should include at least the HTML representation guide.

Andrzej raised issues around how to represent some XHTML mark-up such as the  tag. Doug pointed out this is dealt with by the representation guide. For most of these x- is used.

Doug raised the issue of using prop-group. It was suggested that this might be dealt with by using the tool element or a namespace or the phase element. 

B. Namespace Versioning 
The policy of changing the namespace every version is complicating the XSLTs to process XLIFF documents. Comments were recently submitted describing the problem: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200602/msg00005.html 

Doug Domeny provides a synopsis of the issues in the following email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200602/msg00006.html and calls for discussion on the topic. 

C. Representation Guides: 

a. HTML - Doug revised document updating the examples with correct version information (http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200602/msg00004.html). TC to review and ballot to approve the revised representation guide as committee draft.
