2003/01/05: DavidF
try to pursue any avenues to get more evidence for the REST-related
features
Done.
DavidF stated that we have two implementations of these features: White
Mesa
and another implementation. These implementations have implemented
SOAP-response
MEP and GET method in HTTP binding. We have interop traces for those in
one-direction.  It is expected that it will take a week to obtain a second
trace.

2003/01/05: DavidF
Draft an email to the TAG about the issues around HTTP GET binding
DavidF mentioned that this was not done, as we do have evidence on HTTP
GET binding implementation. Action to be dropped.

2003/01/05: DavidF
Go to CG to say that we are working on the Attachment Feature reqs and that
we
believe there will be interaction with WSDL and we are mindful of that but
we
won't do any design work; we think WSDL group should take it on board to
describe attachments
Pending.


        

5. Status reports (11.25 + 10)

-- Parts 0, 1, 2
Nothing to report on part 0.
Part 1&2, mostly done, except for a very minor issues.

Marc: We do need to close 412.
DavidF: I believe we did close that, we neglected to send an email to
xmlp-comments.
Gudge: Yes, it was done.
Gudge to send email to DavidF and xmlp-comments.

-- Test Collection
AnishK: an email was sent out last week which had a TODO list for the
test collection.  Working on incorporating xmlp-* tests and reorganizing
the SOAPBuilders tests in a different section. A mapping of LC assertion
numbers to new immutable assertion numbers was sent to DavidF. Still more
comfortable with the 24th deadline rather than the 21st deadline.
DavidF: About half way done updating the implementation table to link to
the assertions in the TC doc.  This will allow someone to click on a
particular feature in the implementation summary table and get to the
assertions in the test collection document.

-- (AF Requirements WD)
MarkJ: made an initial stab at tweaking the ascii text and putting it
into HTML format. This was emailed to Yves. Looking for guidance from Yves
on pub rules. The document will be available for the next F2F.
DavidF: To clarify - MarkJ is doing the legwork to get the document
ready in the format that WD needs.  This doc will be used at F2F. This is
not a WD.
DavidF: can you put in the doc text that say that this is not a WD. So
if people come across it accidentally, they will not be misled.
MarkJ: where should the document be made available so that members can
get to it.
DavidF: either email or member accessible page only. But we will not
publish it.
MarkJ: I will work with Yves to get this done.
MarkJ: there is still one requirement that the AFTF did not discuss.
This has to be done either at a telecon or at the F2F.
DavidF: can the AFTF have one more meeting before the F2F?
MarkJ: I will setup a meeting. Probably for friday. Will wait to see if
friday will work for everyone.
MarkJ: note also the doc does not represent consensus or agreement amongst
the
AFTF. But it is something that the AFTF agreed to bring to the WG.

-- Registration of "application/soap+xml" media type, see
http://www.w3.org/2002/06/registering-mediatype.html
Already discussed, during the AI review.

-- n11n and Abstract Model publications
Already discussed, during the AI review.

-- IPR
Yves: nothing new to report.

-- f2f meeting
DavidF: I don't have anything to add.
Noah: we are providing the list of attendees to the security folks. So
if you neglected to register, then do so. Projector and phone available.
DavidF: draft agenda will be made available this week.


        

6. CR progress and issues,

http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-cr-issues.html (11.35 + 5)
-- CR implementation report
DavidF: not much to say. Big news is the REST related features are being
implemented. The impl. page has a lot of 'yellow' (waiting for one
more trace). SOAPBuilders meeting is next week. The hope is that after the
meeting more feature will turn 'green'.

-- we agreed previously to close #402 "SQL/XML changing Unicode
escape sequence algorithm" by changing our spec to conform to the SQL/XML
group's latest version. We did not decide whether or not to add an
implementation test for this algorithm, in part so we could determine
implementation status. We will review this status and may decide whether or
not to add a test.

DavidF: the WG previously we decided to leave this to the implementers. The

implementers have one more telecon next tuesday. This will be discussed
there. Unless anyone has a objection, this question will be put to the
implementers at the telecon.

-- pushback on any issues closed?
None.


        

7. Attachment Feature Implementation Spec (11.40 + 5)

Spec is at http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/2/07/SOAP-AF/aftf-soap-af.html
-- status of AFTF work
MarkJ: no update.
