I didn't care about the encoding --- it looks like UTF-16.

Attached is the same file with UTF-8 encoding. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

jjc suggests form="prefixed|unprefixed".

6. splitInclude: Split "include" element to two different elements

Originator: jjc@jclark.com Status: open

In April,4,2001 telcon, most people felt it was desirable to split, if a good pair of replacement names could be found.

He suggests to have both (a) and (b)

Input from John Cowan obtains:

He suggests to use FPI (kk: kind of URN?)

11. MNrepeat: Repeat M-N times

Originator: jjc@jclark.com Status: open

Description

The original post.

Interactions and Input

Input from Josh Lubell obtains:

He wants to have this because of his own experiences

Input from Kohsuke Kawaguchi obtains:

He suggests that this feature can be provided outside of the core spec (as a pre-processor like tool).

TC is still not convinved whether this feature is imporant enough to be added.
