+ #330 XML Namespace not referenced in iXML
15:15:23 [john]
Action completed by Norn, but PR not yet merged

Agreed to merge
15:16:59 [john]
+ #329 Unicode version not referenced in the spec - now fixed
15:17:21 [john]
+ #310 Not possible to set priority on rules - subsumed into ambiguity
15:17:44 [john]
Topic: Ambiguity umbrella topic
15:18:59 [john]
Steven has written a discussion document on the issues involved.
15:19:11 [norm]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ixml/2026Jan/att-0019/ambiguity.html
15:19:52 [john]
Steven also posted something on the semantics of the 'subtraction' operator - needs response
15:20:15 [john]
Action: John to study Steven's suggestion
15:21:55 [john]
Steven: suggests looking at examples we are aware of as to whether they can now be solved
15:23:47 [john]
Bethan: perhaps the technique suggests negative lookahead (which doesn't consume the negative portion). Are there types of ambiguity that can't be solved by lookahead?
15:24:35 [john]
Norm: we should still think about priority for simpler construction. It might be useful. Don't want to take it completely off the table.
