1) SYNTAX WORKING DRAFT 09B

b.doc 

DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY EVENING CALL:

Following are notes of the line-by-line review:

* Most except Peter had no strong preference on dash in "XRI normal form".
Peter preferred no dash.

* Nat suggested RE line 286 - 294 that we should suggest user agents help
avoid spoofing by providing a strong visual cue about legitimate XRI
delimiters. Something similar to "Users agents SHOULD display only defined
XRI delimiter characters in a visually striking format." Note that Drummond
proposed specific text in an email at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xri/200510/msg00008.html. 

* Line 457: The suggestion was to state this requirement in in more general
form so we avoided a direct reference to XRI Metadata.

* Line 678: ditto.


DISCUSSION ON FRIDAY MORNING CALL:

Following are notes of the line-by-line review:

* Dave, Mike, and Gabe strongly preferred the hyphen in "XXX-normal form".
Drummond to fix all instances including in glossary.

* Clarify line 258.

* Line 286 - 294: there was concensus on the approach proposed on the
Thursday night call (see above.)

* Fix line 344 to keep it with the table above.

* Line 444 - change this to say "Applications transforming XRI references to
IRI references MUST use..."

* Line 457 - Change to say, "as explained in section 2.5.4".

* Line 678 - change to: "While cross-references beginning with the GCS
symbol $ MAY be considered significant in all cases, however failure to
consider the rules defined in a specification governing a $ namespace may
lead to false-negative comparisons. See section 2.1.4.1."

Dave and Drummond agreed to coordinate putting out a final draft by Monday
to solicit any final comments by next Wednesday night for the vote on
Friday.


2) SCHEDULING OF THE SYNTAX VOTE
The proposed time for a single joint telecon on which to hold the vote is
8am Pacific Friday Oct. 14 (as this is midnight Japan time for Nat).

DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY EVENING CALL:

It was agreed this time would work.

DISCUSSION ON FRIDAY MORNING CALL:

It was agreed this time would work, but that we should send out several
reminders.


3) METADATA

reported that the proposed text for $t should be submitted next week.


4) RESOLUTION
