      COMPLETED

6.  Publisher's and eLearning subcommittee reports

No report.

7.  XInclude 1.1 status.

XMLMind is planning to implement XInclude 1.1, which will give
the W3C a second implementation that they need for final
adoption.

Jirka reported that the XInclude 1.1 proposal was changed
slightly [2].

This update will change the name of the proposed attribute db:id to
set-xml-id.

Another change is in specifying local attributes, but that change
is still under discussion.


8.  Jirka's "DocBook Transclusions" document

We discussed Jirka's document[3] and suggested several changes:

a. Change @db:id to @set-xml-id per the changed XInclude 1.1 spec.

b. Any attributes used by XInclude but not valid in DocBook5 should
be stripped out of the resolved document after processing.

c. Change id prefix to id suffix.

d. Set the default value for db:linkscope to "near".

e. Include @linkend, @xlink:href (local), and olink @targetptr in
id fixup process.

f. For nested XIncludes, the XInclude attributes are inherited. Any
nested db:suffix values are chained.

g. Remove "strip" value from possible values of @db:idfixup.

h. Propose separate new namespace for idfixup/suffix/linkscope
attributes in order to make it possible to use transclusions
outside of DocBook.

ACTION: Jirka to update the document with these changes.

9.  DocBook 5.1 release

We discussed Norm's proposed DocBook 5.1 Committee Specification
Draft.  Jirka would like to include the W3C Internationalization Tag
Set [5] as an optional but official DocBook schema.

Jirka also noted that some other schemas mentioned in changelog
are missing, for example RDFa Lite.

ACTION: Jirka to summarize and contact Norm about changing the spec
to include additional schemas.
