Balisage debriefing

Previous Actions

Steven: I have done nothing the last month

Norm: Nor I. Let us mark them all as continues

<norm> invisibleXML/ixml#255

<norm> https://invisiblexml.org/pr/255/autodiff.html

Steven: Any objections to merge?

[No]

Status of implementations

John: I'm revising with addition of subtraction
… to try out

Steven: Do we have any specification?

John: You should be able to subtract anything

Steven: I'm still working on round-tripping

Norm: I will read your paper by next meeting

Nico: I'm integrating MarkupBlitz in BaseX and eXist
… I'm also looking at matching instead of parsing
… I'll be submitting an API proposal
… I have documents up to a gigabyte, and I need to reduce the parts that need to be parsed.
… using a sliding window.
… I have a note about an XQuery interface

Status of testing and test suites

John: I've noted some tests are old versions.
… I'll dig them out, and send them

broken links on CG and CG Reports pages

Steven: What are we doing?

Norm: That's your job to get sysreq to fix.

Steven: OK

Issue #263 Serialization of attributes

invisibleXML/ixml#263

Steven: Oh, we're missing insertions!

ACTION: Steven to add insertions to the serialisation of attributes

Bethan: #250?

Steven: Already an action for me

Issue #254 Extend the prolog to support arbitrary metadata

invisibleXML/ixml#254

Steven: There is also the issue of the format of the prolog, and of pragmas

John: You've introduced chardata, why is that different from string?

Norm: I'll look again.

Steven: I saw people at Balisage using {[...]} for pragmas
… why don't we make the prolog a pragma.

Nico: Would we put the version into the pragma?

Steven: That would be a good place

Norm: I will think about it.

Bethan: If there is a version declaration, it would come at the top, right?

Steven: Yes.

Bethan: would it be worth adding an issue that includes a link to pragmas.

Norm: I have created the issue, you can add a link

next meeting

Norm: 20th August?

Norm: we need to work out what to do with September, since Steven is unavailable
