- PROPOSED: Remove test case Modify_noloop (obsoleted by changes in PRD)
- Telecon 2 February Agenda Minutes (draft)
- RESOLVED: We clarify that relative IRIs are allowed in RIF syntaxes (anywhere IRIs are allowed, including Const rif:iri, symbol spaces, location, and profile), and that xml:base is used in making them absolute; the absolute form is seen and used internally, so that's the lexical space.
