MSM: Sure.
Status of implementations
Steven: Tutorial in progress, with updates to pilot implementation, which now does almost everything.
… Only 32bit software, so I still have to find a solution for macintoshes
MSM: I had an older implementation. I've reined in on the regression tests, and proceeded with the parser,. Last night the parser produced its first correct output.
… so getting closer
… the acid test will be ixml.ixml
Tom: No progress report, but a status report; I now work for a company who supports me working on ixml for a half day a week.
Tom: [Describes problems with the code]
… [Too many nested templates]
… people are calling for implementations.
… so I feel a need to produce one

Media type conventions for ixml grammars
https://
https://
Steven: That is how to create a mediatype
… work
… text/... is ASCII based
… application/... is octet based
… or use x.ixml
Tom: Use applicaiton/ixml+xml
Steven: We could use application/ixml
… or we could register +ixml
… and then have eg application/css+ixml
MSM: And then an x. we can use without registering
Steven: Yes
MSM: It's nice to have a story about how it fits in to the web
… only helps if people make grammars available
… even so it's good to have.
… If someone gives me a file of type css, I can look up the mediatype to locate an ixml file that matches and use that.
… other things being equal, it would be good to have a section
Action: Steven draft a mediatypes section
<trackbot> Sorry, but no Tracker is associated with this channel.
Policy on punctuation in the xml serialisation
MSM: It messes with indentation behaviour
… I would like a version without all those characters
Tom: Keeping them allows you to roundtrip the document.
Steven: Who really cares?
MSM: We'll come back to it.
Test Suite
MSM: Once my parser is running...
Next meeting
