2/ Tony 
  welcomed Shigemichi to the meeting. Shigemichi works for GlobalSight which 
  provides a Globalisation Management System.

  
3/ Minutes of 
  the last meeting were read and agreed. John proposed them as a correct record 
  and Matt seconded this.

  
4/ Work in progress
Embedded XLIFF - Localisation 
  directives
Enda had tried to using localisation directives and described it 
  as cumbersome with too many directives. He also pointed out some of the other 
  problems such as how do you specify an attribute is to be 
  localised.
Christian pointed out the value of localisation directives 
  giving the example of Java properties file. This start a discussion about 
  using this with non XML files.
There was a discussion about whether or not 
  it was possible to include this with version 1.1.
It was suggested that a 
  start an email thread about using localisation 
  directives.

  
We agreed that we would have a special meeting next 
  Tuesday devoted to Embedded XLIFF. It was agreed that the first item on the 
  agenda was whether localisation directives should be de-coupled from the 1.1 
  discussion. We will also decided that Embedded XLIFF not including 
  localisation directives will be discussed prior to the localisation 
  directives.
It was also agreed that we move to weekly meetings until we had 
  completed 1.1. These extra meetings will be classed as a working 
  group.

  
Formal Extensibility
John will send the group a 
  spread-sheet with a list of restype values. He will try and expand this to 
  other data types. Matt will try and group 
  these.

  
Working draft
Yves has sent a working draft to the 
  TC which should be reviewed next Tuesday.

  
Tool element
John outlined the current 
  suggestions with this element. 
All names of attributes used by the 
  tool element will be changed so that they are pre-fixed by"tool-" as in 
  "tool-name".
The existing tool attributes will be deprecated.
Extension 
  points will be allowed within the tool element.
tool-id will be used as the 
  reference to tool.
These were all agreed by the 
  TC.

  
5/ Lisa Conference
It was suggested that Yves and 
  Christian's presentation should be put on our Web 
  site.

  
6/ LRC Conference
Tony and Peter will address 
  this.

  
6/ Next Meeting
Tuesday October 22nd. usual 
  time.
