DanCon, you wanted to ask why so much time on readily-available factual material
20:21:37 [DanCon]
PC: perhaps figure out some questions and work backward?
20:22:07 [DanCon]
DanC: a big question is: the TAG costs a lot; do you want to keep spending the resource that way?
20:22:26 [DanCon]
TimBL: what would you say to somebody in the corridoor?

20:44:58 [DanCon]
[I'm confused; I see "1.x" but DO is saying "4.x"]

This note is proposed to be inserted

Abstract
20:46:09 [timbl]
This is the text that we propose for section 4.5 of the webarch doc.
20:46:17 [DanCon]
DO: this text is shorter than the finding; xml-schema-specific stuff is left out
20:46:55 [ChrisL]
q+
20:47:17 [DanCon]
CL: what to do with the schema-specific stuff?
20:47:18 [ChrisL]

DanC: I'd like to discuss the thesis; is this it? "The primary motivation to allow instances of a language to be extended is to decentralize the task of designing, maintaining, and implementing extensions."
20:49:58 [DanCon]
NW: that, plus you can't add extensibility later. gotta do it up front

SW: I see lots of good practice boxes; did you try to minimize those?
20:55:54 [DanCon]
NW: no; I promoted all the boxes from the finding; perhaps we'll lose a few

PC: this "nobody but the owner can change a namespace"... hm... Query added stuff to XML Schema namespace...
20:56:50 [DanCon]
DO: hmm!
20:56:56 [DanCon]
TBL: with knowledge/consent?
20:57:29 [DanCon]
NW: recall the Query WG decided users can't add functions to the fn namespace

DC and DO: debate pro and con regarding definning terms on first use or separate terminology section
21:03:27 [DanCon]
[... on style of tems...]
21:05:56 [DanCon]
DO: we've spent a bunch of writing time on this; not sure how much more I'm interested to do.
21:06:42 [DanCon]
DC: I said when this versioning stuff came up "sounds like an interesting book"; I think we're maybe 1/3rd done writing this. I still have serious problems with the 1st sentence.
21:07:54 [DanCon]
SW earlier asked about whether to review it separately as part of the arch doc...
21:07:58 [DanCon]
[several]: put it in
21:10:13 [timbl]
q+ needs wordsmithing seriously
21:11:01 [Norm]
q+
21:11:13 [DanCon]
DC: I shopped this versioning stuff around; it's quite popular. Folks seem to want it.
21:12:38 [DanCon]
TimBL: I think people want this set of terms nailed down; usage of "instance" in some places looks a bit informal in a way that might be misleading
21:13:32 [DanCon]
TimBL: also, how much of this is XML specific? [draws analogy between HTTP URIs and URIs ala XML formats and formats]
21:14:34 [Stuart]
ack Norm
21:15:36 [DanCon]
NW: I think tim is asking for more precision in this section than we've held ourselves to in other sections
21:15:36 [Norm]
ack norm
21:15:49 [DanCon]
timbl: there are a bunch of new terms here; they merit the same review as other stuff
21:18:10 [DanCon]
DO: how about: pls give us comments weds, NW and I do another draft by [missed it], then we hand to Ian
21:18:33 [DanCon]
Zakim, I am DanC
21:18:33 [Zakim]
ok, DanCon, I now associate you with DanC
21:19:07 [Stuart]
ack DanC
21:20:47 [Norm]
DC: extensibility and versioning are not cost free

"The primary motivation to allow instances of a language to be extended is to decentralize the task of designing, maintaining, and implementing extensions."
21:21:41 [Stuart]
Hmm... here's a candidate for the thesis:
21:21:41 [Stuart]
The primary motivation to allow instances of a language to be
21:21:41 [Stuart]
extended is to decentralize the task of designing, maintaining,
21:21:41 [Stuart]
and implementing extensions. It allows senders to change the
21:21:41 [Stuart]
instances without going through a centralized authority.
