* minutes from last week
The attending TC members unanimously accepted the minutes from the last
coordination-call.

* action items
all: review metadata examples - done

* subtables
Michael: we agreed to discourage this attribute where spans are more
appropriate
- when is is-subtable appropriate

Pete: addressing mechanism gets confusing
when subtable is used for splitting+joining
DavidW: sudoku is an example
Pete: we should be able to create a test case for that
DavidW: a language that says to use spanning for spanning and subtables
for subtables would be the best course of action
Oliver: I think this is mostly an application problem
Pete: correct, thus our request was to add some guidance to the spec so
that implementors don't make that mistake again.
DavidW: I can try to put together a sample, I just need a puzzle that is
free to use
Lars: I think there are some with a license we may use in the haskell
wiki... I'll send those

Eike: some minor updates for the formula spec...
DavidW: just put them in with change tracking and I'll merge them in
