11.  CALS table accessibility

Completed. 

ACTION: Scott to review Norm's schema update to make sure
it meets the requirements for accessibility.

12.  Transclusion in DocBook 

XInclude 1.1 has been issued as a Last Call Working Draft
with the changes we wanted.

ACTION: Bob to look at the last draft to see if it meets our needs.

13.  DocBook 5.1 release

When Scott gives his ok for the table accessibility changes,
we can proceed with a DocBook 5.1 candidate release.

13a.  Bridgehead behavior.
Bob asked if the processing expectations for bridgehead included
numbering like sections.  The Definitive Guide says they should
be handled like section titles, but the TC agreed that
they do not participate in the section hierarchy and should
not be numbered.

ACTION: Norm to clarify the bridehead entry in The Definitive Guide
to indicate that bridgeheads are not numbered like sections.

   RFEs to revisit for 6.0
     1907003  biblioid content model too broad  

   RFEs under discussion
     2820947  Ability to transclude text
     3035565  Allow sections at any level
     3107140  aconym expansion inline
     3156768  <result> tag
     3491860   license tag
     3571149   Allow Article inside Set

  New RFEs
     3593209   Add see/seealso under
     3599576   'info' wrapper element for processing titlepage elements

The TC felt that adding an arbitrary wrapper element to info
would complicate the schema element model and stylesheet
processing, without significant benefit.  The capability
of adding role to multiple info elements already exists,
even if it is more cumbersome than a wrapper.
