Issues: 
1) We should have a FPI for the DTD.
We will use -//OASIS//DTD XML Catalog V1.0//EN

2) Should there be a customization layer for the DTD?
We didn't provide the hooks that we talk about in the normative specification. 
This would not be a change to the normative specification, but to make the 
non-normative DTD match up to the normative specification in a better way. 
Thus this is editorial; no objections to making the addition of 
<!ENTITY % local.catalog.class "">
to the DTD.

The editor may add others as he sees fit when he considers this issue, on 
condition that he email the mailing list to allow for comments.

3) Should we go for OASIS standard in the near future?
The resolver is now part of the Apache package, so we should be able to find 
three users. We should probably do this. 

4) Norm raised the issue of system ID interpretation of being a pure URI. 
Suggestion to deprecate the system entry in version 1.1 and define lookup in 
terms of public + URI as well as public + system. Minimalist argument. Norm 
says that there was a SAX issue; action item to post something on it.

5) John thinks we should make an editorial revisions and replace both the 
TREX and RELAX schemas with a RELAX NG schema. Agreed on.

6) Norm will use the new OASIS look and feel for the revision

7) next meeting: October 24 at the same time (11am Pacific). Norm will post 
the phone number.
