The TC agreed that the title of mails containing feedback to the

Committee Drafts
----------------
The TC discussed when a new draft could be finished that contains the 
feedback that has been arrived. The TC considers end of April to be a 
reasonable date for a new draft. At the same time the TC may check 
whether a new draft should become a Committee Draft.

The TC further discussed whether stylistic issues should be addressed 
for the next draft. The TC agreed to do that only if there are enough 
resources available to do so.


Phase 2 topics
--------------
The TC discussed the list of minor topics for phase 2. The TC agreed 
that the topic "multiple body elements" will not be addressed until a 
use case for multiple body elements has been identified. The TC also 
agreed that the topic "enhanced change tracking for text documents" will 
be addressed only if requested by one of the TC members.

In the next con call, the TC will discuss the minor phase two topics 
where a proposals exists already.
