** Minutes **

2. Review/approve minutes from 18 January
- http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00048.html
- Don noted that Stanley Doherty did attend 18 Jan 2005
- Minutes approved by acclamation.
3. Disposition of remaining Action Items
- http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00047.html
- We went through all these and closed many of them, and
highlighted the ones that are gating the 1.0 release.
4. List items:
- Namespace recommendation from the subgroup
- Proposal -- Add a namespace to the DITA arch version
attribute, which appears on the root structural
elements (topic, concept, task, and reference) in both
the DTDs and schemas.
- No discussion
- Approved by acclamation.
- Public identifiers and catalogs
- Proposal -- We will not do anything to disallow
catalogs. The catalogs represent the formal
documentation of the public identifiers. The catalog
will be part of the specfication, along with the DTDs
and schemas.
- Some questions were asked for clarification, but no
changes made.
- Approved by acclamation.
- Final resolution on mapref
- Proposal -- Change to the language reference -- the
description of the topic ref format attribute will
document ditamap as a value.
- Approved by acclamation.
5. Specification status
- New version coming out tonight or tomorrow morning -- vote
next meeting.
- Michael Priestley noted that it would be good to vote on
the "whole pacakge" -- the spec together with the DTDs and
schemas. Don will ask Deborah Lapeyre to see if this will
be possible.

Priestley on the draft -- provide comments to Michael ASAP.
Michael Priestley to incorporate comments into draft

071 Otherprops: The section on conditional processing does not
give best practices for using this att. Specific additional
