2. Administrative items (Brief)
   • Status check on F2F minutes
   • Chair update on group priorities and issue tracking
   • WBS Survey on proposed 2-6 November 2009 W3C Technical Plenary (TPAC) (W3C member only) to be held in Santa Clara, CA.
     • Recent tradition is that those TAG members who are at TPAC anyway meet for a half day Monday, and a half day Friday, and we also attempt to make ourselves available to other working groups on a best effort basis during the week. Typically we do not have a quorum and thus don't make binding decisions. Do we want to continue the tradition at the November 2009 TPAC? Would anyone prefer attempting a more formal TAG meeting at TPAC?
     • Survey response is due from the chair by 18 March 2009. We should indicate whether we expect to attend, likely number of attendees, etc.
3. XHTML
   • Background:
     • Proposals from W3C team (W3C member-only — see subsection labeled 'Relation of HTML to XHTML2 and XForms')
     • Request from Larry and request from T.V. Raman(member-only) that we schedule this discussion soon.
     • Philippe le Hegaret has been invited to join us for this session.
   • Goals:
     • Learn more about W3C staff ideas regarding the future of XHTML. Our hope is that this will inform ongoing efforts by the TAG to help with the development and positioning of HTML5- and XHTML-related technologies.
4. Metadata
   • Background:
     • Pursuant to ACTION-227, Jonathan Rees prepared a survey of issues relating to metadata.
     • See email thread starting with Jonathan's announcement of the survey document.
   • Goals:
     • ACTION-227 should be closed.
     • Review Jonathan's draft.
     • Decide what, if anything, the TAG should do in the area of metadata.
5. CURIEs in RDFa, @rel, and the HTML profile attribute
   • Background:
     • The TAG has, within the last week, been asked to help resolve concerns with the use of CURIEs in RDFa and with the HTML profile attribute.
     • See also athe very long email thread that began with an email message from Mark Nottingham to www-tag titled "Using XMLNS in link/@rel", which in turn led to a message to the public-html list from Julian Reschke titled @rel syntax in RDFa (relevant to ISSUE-60 discussion), was: Using XMLNS in link/@rel. The long thread starts with that; early messages in the thread were not cross-posted to www-tag, but later ones were (starting with this one).
   • Goals:
     • Review www-tag discussion of this issue
     • Decide what steps, if any, the TAG wants to take to help the community resolve these concerns.
6. contentTypeOverride-24 (ISSUE-24):
   • Background:
     • Dan Connolly suggests that we discuss the draft Content-Type Processing Model, by Ian Hickson and Adam Barth; the draft proposes interoperable rules for Content-type "sniffing" in browsers. Note that the draft acknowledges at one point that it is in "... willful violation of the HTTP specification. [RFC2616]".
   • Goals:
     • Decide whether TAG wants to respond to the Content-Type Processing Model draft.
7. XMLVersioning-41 (ISSUE-41).
   • Background:
     • The TAG had earlier decided not to actively pursue development of the finding on versioning.
     • HTML working group action 108 requests that the TAG consider HTML when working on versioning
     • See thread starting with John Kemp email on updating AWWW good practice note on versioning
     • The following actions are open under ISSUE-41, but the chair proposes not to discuss them in detail on this call:
       • ACTION-183 (David Orchard) Incorporate formalism into versioning compatibility strategies. Due 3 March 2009.
       • ACTION-229 (Noah Mendelsohn) Noah to respond to John Kemp proposal of Feb 17 on versioning. Due 13 March 2009.
   • Goals:
     • Decide whether, given the background referenced above, we want to again work actively on versioning, and if so, with what specific goals.
