felix: from Addison, proposes conformance criteria for LTLI
... describes the conformance critera proposed from Addison

richard: why not using xml:lang for locale?

francois: xml:lang should not be used for locale, is the message
... the word "MUST NOT use" is not very precise
... it should say e.g. "specifications must not specify that xml:lang specifies locale"

richard: process question: Addison has not agreed to the patent policy?

mary: these are public comments, so is there a problem?

richard: you have to contact the people who make the comments
... we have to get back to plh to make sure that there is no patent issue here

mary: I don't think that there's a problem

richard: we have to be careful
... let's take the examples to plh and say "these are basic ideas we would have had anyway" and see if it is an issue

richard: the conformance section should say what you have to do to be conformant, but not have all conformance section

felix: could it be like charmod-resid
... "3 Character Encoding in Resource Identifiers"
... would LTLI to be structured in the same way?
... do you think that there should be s.t. else in the document than the conformance criteria?

francois: could be structured like charmod-resid
... resid puts the rfc 2119 into sec. 2 "conformance", that's it
... in the next section, you make the definitions
