Re: Minutes of 2000-06-05 XSLT/XPath Conformance Committee

[David_Marston@lotus.com]

I think that these minutes should mention the following:

1. Higher-ups at NIST were present for part of the day and described OASIS
efforts to improve conformance testing in general.

2. We began to explore how discretionary aspects of the XSLT processor
implementation will be incorporated into the testing process. Those present
were generally assuming that the comittee will devise a set of questions
that represent the particular choices, and vendors would be encouraged to
make public statements to answer each question.

3. Reports or discussions of this effort may happen ad-hoc at any XML
conference where one or more committee members happen to be present.

4. The product of this commitee will have some form of
intellectual-property protection.
