[herve_scribe] * Approval of minutes of March 31
[herve_scribe] No corrections
[herve_scribe] No objection for approving the minutes


[herve_scribe] * Action items review
[herve_scribe] As in agenda, except review of WS-Reliability that is done.
[herve_scribe] Question about Mark's extensibility text.
[herve_scribe] Mark: waiting for up to date documents
[herve_scribe] Hervé: will edit MTOM beginning of next week


[herve_scribe] * Status reports

[herve_scribe] - Media types registrations
[herve_scribe] Mark: Still waiting for XML 1.1 decisions

[herve_scribe] - FAQ for XInclude
[herve_scribe] DF: No feedback from core wg
[herve_scribe] MM: Prefer current format (i.e. no collapsing)
[herve_scribe] MM: Ok for dropping Q9.
[herve_scribe] MM: concurs with 3/4 of what Jacek said.
[herve_scribe] MM: Ok for dropping reason in Q6 (was there mainly for completeness).
[herve_scribe] Note: MM intervention was about responding to Jacek comments.
[herve_scribe] DF: suggest to drop Q9.
[herve_scribe] DF: the FAQ should be a WG note. Therefore generate something like a ed copy of a WG note.
[herve_scribe] Yves: it could simply be a plaintext FAQ on W3C site.
[herve_scribe] DF: put it in the form of a WG document.
[herve_scribe] MM: will do it for next telcon.

[herve_scribe] - XMLP/WSD TF
[herve_scribe] Anish: did not manage to organize telcon.
[herve_scribe] Anish: 3 possibilities on solving the problem. TF will have to continue discussion.
[herve_scribe] DF: is there a schedule for telcon?
[herve_scribe] Anish: I will try to organize it, otherwise continue discussion through mailing list.
[herve_scribe] DF: is there a document now instead of the mail message version of the 'document'?
[herve_scribe] Anish: Yes.
[herve_scribe] Anish: I will find most recent version of the doc. Not sure the most recent version has been sent on mailing list.

[herve_scribe] - WS-Reliability spec
[herve_scribe] DF: Postpone this until PeteW join the telcon (see below).


[herve_scribe] * Attachments

[herve_scribe] - Representation Header doc
DF: regarding comments on the current draft ....
[herve_scribe] DF: suggestion from Anish: reinsert with no namespace. Do this change before publishing (first) WD.
[herve_scribe] DF: any other comment or thing to do before publication?
[herve_scribe] No answer.
[herve_scribe] DF: there was an action to the WG for solving 455.
[herve_scribe] DF: I tried to combine all pieces of text for generating resolution.
[herve_scribe] DF: I think we agreed (last telcon) to use Noah's text?
[herve_scribe] Noah: my proposal was nearly editorial.
[herve_scribe] DF: so we agree that my email contains all resolution pieces?
[herve_scribe] Noah: I think we need to say something about the atypical case?
[herve_scribe] Noah: i.e.: two headers with same metadata, what happens?
[herve_scribe] Noah: solutions are undefined, implementation dependant, first one wins...
[herve_scribe] Noah: I think we should say something.
[herve_scribe] Anish: should we allow people to do this?
[herve_scribe] Noah: we can forbid it, but should define the process with any kind of different input that it may receive.
[herve_scribe] DF: proposal representation header block SHOULD NOT same metadata. If the have the same metadata, then behaviour is undefined.
[herve_scribe] Noah: suggestion: either header block can be used.
[herve_scribe] DF: friendly amendment accepted.
[herve_scribe] DF: any more opinions?
No answer
[herve_scribe] DF: any objections?
[herve_scribe] No objection.
DF: we will use the revised proposal
[herve_scribe] Anish: shall I include this text in the upcoming WD?
[herve_scribe] DF: yes. Not much changes to do.
[herve_scribe] DF: that completes all we need to do before sending doc to W3C for publication as a WD.
[herve_scribe] Anish: I can update the document today if somebody can send text.
[herve_scribe] DF: I will send text.

[herve_scribe] - rec20
[herve_scribe] DF: we agreed at Infoset any version of XML, but nodes may be more restrictive.
[herve_scribe] DF: at binding level, media type is application/xml-soap, but other media types may be less restrictive.
[herve_scribe] Noah: are you saying that the media-type description contains the restriction and would apply to any binding using this media-type?
[herve_scribe] DF: correct.
[herve_scribe] DF: was are the subparts of the issue to deal with?
[herve_scribe] Noah: do we need new errors or faults?
[herve_scribe] Noah: for HTTP binding, for old style node would need new media type and node would not support it; error is defined.
[herve_scribe] Noah: if application has DOM parser or something that do not support XML 1.1?
[herve_scribe] Noah: if I write new binding was kind of fault is generated is there is a mismatch?
[herve_scribe] Noah: not sure what we have is ok.
[herve_scribe] DF: discussion?
[herve_scribe] Yves: need to tackle the issue in binding framework to ensure that right information is given in binding definition.
[herve_scribe] DF: need someone to check if binding framework is ok.
[herve_scribe] Yves: will do this.
[herve_scribe] Noah: and do we need some liaison with WSDL?
[herve_scribe] Noah: not possible to describe XML 1.1 using XML Schema, so new messages are not describable with WSDL.
[herve_scribe] Yves: WSD bound to support SOAP 1.2. And SOAP 1.2 support everything in Infoset, so this is nothing new.
[herve_scribe] Noah: This was buggy. On the legalistic point of view, it was clear. But informally not so.
[herve_scribe] DF: seems worthwile to tell WSDL about changes (accepting any version of XML).
[herve_scribe] DF: it may be possible to close rec20 next week (with Yves proposal).
[herve_scribe] DF: is proposal to add clarification text?
[herve_scribe] Yves: think so.
[herve_scribe] DF: might put something in HTTP section and application/xml+soap.
[herve_scribe] Noah: first thing is what Infoset enveloppe is.
[herve_scribe] Noah: our Infoset MUST be something obtained in parsing some version of XML.
[herve_scribe] DF: start generating those pieces of text?
[Yves] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlp-comments/2004Mar/0012.html
[Yves] (the middle link) of rec20
[herve_scribe] Yves: rec20 is 1.0 against 1.1, while rec22 is about all characters allowed in Infoset.
[herve_scribe] Yves: I think we tackled rec22 and that resolution contains resolution for rec20. rec20 is a specialized case of rec22.
[herve_scribe] Mark: we will need to discuss the impact of this on the media-type registration.
[herve_scribe] Yves: will be part of resolution.
[herve_scribe] DF: can talk about it now.
[herve_scribe] DF: registration of application/xml+soap
[herve_scribe] Mark: the registration can refer to or contain text in registration proposal.
[herve_scribe] Noah: points to RFC 3023 which allow any version, but can be further restricted by other specs such as registration.
[herve_scribe] Mark: I have enough information to generate a proposal.
[herve_scribe] DF: and what about the XOP media-type?
[herve_scribe] Mark: what do we want to call it?
[herve_scribe] Noah: call out presence of SOAP envelope in root?
[herve_scribe] Mark: recommend application/soap_xop+xml
No other names proposed, no objection to using that name.
[herve_scribe] DF: Mark, go ahead and write a proposal using that name.

[herve_scribe] - Rec22
[herve_scribe] DF: what more to close Rec22?
[herve_scribe] Yves: with all the text we will have, should be ok.
[herve_scribe] Yves: would need to double check, but pretty sure.

[herve_scribe] - 458
[herve_scribe] DF: we need to check whether or not 458 is a duplicate issue to Rec20/22.
[herve_scribe] Yves: its context is XOP/MTOM, therefore slightly different.
[herve_scribe] Noah: Don't see anything not covered.
[herve_scribe] DF: we did not talk about text changes for XOP/MTOM.
[herve_scribe] Noah: problem is XOP is independant of SOAP.
[herve_scribe] Noah: what shall we say about XML 1.1 in XOP? Might be looser than in SOAP.
[herve_scribe] Noah: XOP should allow any version of XML, soap_xop media type will restrict things.
[herve_scribe] DF: include this in XOP/MTOM drafts.
[herve_scribe] DF: same thing to do with representation header, but after publication (for not delaying it).


[herve_scribe] * Status reports
[herve_scribe] - WS-Reliability
[herve_scribe] Pete: List of comments and issues.
[herve_scribe] Pete: 1- Lack of handling of intermediaries in the spec.
[davidF] pete's comments at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-protocol-wg/2004Apr/0019.html
[herve_scribe] Pete: Do not target intermediaries, but nothing prevents targeting reliability header to them.
[herve_scribe] Pete: 2- Provide extensions for 1.1 and 1.2, 1.1 non-normative, while 1.2 normative, but all examples use 1.2.
[herve_scribe] DF: we should push to use 1.2.
[herve_scribe] DF: does this represent group opinion?
[herve_scribe] Yes.
[herve_scribe] Pete: use term Reliable Messaging Processor, and use sending/receiving RMP.
[herve_scribe] Pete: Do we have another term for this?
[herve_scribe] DF: could ask them to be more consistent about terminology.
[herve_scribe] Pete: RMP includes SOAP Processor.
[herve_scribe] DF: ask them if then can be clear about use of terms module, node, processor.
[herve_scribe] Pete: SOAP Fault can be used to convey a reliable messaging acknowledgement.
[herve_scribe] Pete: is this ok?
[herve_scribe] DF: put opinion into a note.
[herve_scribe] DF: send draft by eod tommorrow and if not comments, send it on Monday.
[herve_scribe] DF: if there are comments, will have to decide whether to send it or not.
