Requirements in inital draft form

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0504ReqPurposeSpecMap

<r12a> hi andrej

Yves: could we move ReqPurposeSpecMap to WD?
... no comments, so let's move it to WD

Tim: good.

<az> hi richard

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0504ReqKeyDefinitions

Yves: part of the introduction
... had no change for a long time
... any comment now?

RI: we tried to define i18n and l10n in the GEO group
... we worked hard in the definitions
... i do not say "do not do it"
... but people might come back to you and not be satisified with the definition
... will look for something in geo which is good for this

<scribe> ACTION: RI to get the definition of i18n and l10n from the GEO group [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/07/20-i18n-minutes.html#action06]

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0503ReqSpan

Yves: most of the changes have been discussed last time
... this one as wd as well

<r12a> GEO Getting Started material is about to be rewritten, but here is the current wording - see the section 'Key concepts' http://esw.w3.org/topic/geoGettingStartedwithI18n

Yves: Tim, did you look at the copy
... not all changes are reflected on the Wiki pages

Tim: makes a proposal how to solve the problem

Yves: proposal might not work, because the XHTML in the page are different

RI: would be great to cut and paste markup from the XHTML into the Wiki

Yves: a pain are the links in the XHTML

RI: with Amaya, the links would work
... you can edit it online
... wiki has its own format

Yves: good point.
... so push this req to wd

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505ReqUniqueID

unique identifier

Yves: a long list of comments from many people
... xml:id is now a recommendation, I made the change

<scribe> ACTION: felix to add an example how to fulfil the uniqueness req with xslt and xquery [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/07/20-i18n-minutes.html#action07]

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505Translatability

Yves: we have not discussed this req very much
... AZ had some comments, I will try to address them
... any further comments?

CL: AZ had some comments
... but I don't see them in the Wiki

Yves: AZ HAD the comments, I tried to address them

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505Translatability?action=diff&rev2=17&rev1=16

Yves: here is the link to the revision
... some of the changes were also in the DITA example
... Tim made a suggestion, and I tried to address them as well

Tim: tried to scan other the req
... that particular one looks o.k. to me

Yves: in this one we are talking about localization properties
... maybe that one needs a definition

Tim: we have a req document for things the ITS wg will cover
... loc directives is not part of ITS, but of the ITS implementation
... is loc properties mentioned elsewhere in the doc?
... is this something that should be a proposed solution?

Yves: term is used in the last paragraph of the req

AZ: already addressed this in Berlin
... this req comes up again and again
... there is a great need for this

Tim: it is very important
... but maybe more in the implementation space
... ITS is not concerned with the implementation

AZ: I would challenge that
... we need a standard approach of how to do that
... there is a need for such a standard

Yves: maybe we reword this to make it more generel?

AZ: good suggestion

Yves: Tim, could you come up with a proposed wording?

Tim: ... sure

<scribe> ACTION: Tim to change the wording in the Translatability req [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/07/20-i18n-minutes.html#action08]

<YvesS> http://esw.w3.org/topic/its0505LimitImpact

Yves: this req was originated from a comment from Norm, brought back from Tim
... most of the changes are due to Felix comments

CL: question on the summary
... what is the difference between tree structure and the content model

<scribe> ACTION: felix to give examples on schemas with / without ns in the req on limited impact [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2005/07/20-i18n-minutes.html#action09]
