Agenda

http://www.xml.org/archives/xslt-conformance/2000/06/0021.html
- resulting items to add to minutes of the meeting of 2000-06-05:
1. Higher-ups at NIST were present for part of the day and described OASIS
efforts to improve conformance testing in general. Visitors from NIST
included: Mark Skall, Lynne Rosenthal, and Rick Rivello.
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 committee will devise a set of questions
that represent the particular choices, and vendors would be encouraged to
make public statements to answer each question. Discussion also considered
this as meaningful input to the rendition control instance.
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 committee will have some form of
intellectual-property protection. See
