> 8.  Jirka's "DocBook Transclusions" document

Jirka: we discussed some feedback on the last call. I have updated the
transclusion proposal to reflect that feedback as discussed. I also
aligned it with the latest XInclude 1.1 changes.

...It needs some copy editing then I think it's ready to publish. I
have a partial implementation of XInclude 1.1 and I have an XSLT
implementation of the transclusion processors.

Dick: I'm about a 1/3 to 1/2 way through doing a copy edit. I'll try
to get it back to Jirka this week.

Some discussion of ID *elements*.

> 9.  DocBook 5.1 release

Progress as previously reports.

Proposal:

I move that the TC approve DocBook Version 5.1 and all associated
artifacts packaged together in

  https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/docbook/document.php?document_id=54757

as a Committee Specification Draft and designate the HTML version of
the specification as authoritative. I also move that the Committee
Specification Draft be released for public review.

Larry: aye
Norm: aye
Dick: aye
Jirka: yes
Scott: aye
Loren: aye

The motion passes unanimously!
