2/ Minutes of 
last meeting read and agree proposed by John, seconded by 
David.

 

3/ Review open 
issues in the tracking report:

Tony noted that 
items 14-17 are incorrectly color-coded (should be magenta/purple as they are 
assigned to the editor)

 

[19]C
 onsolidated attribute values list

Bryan's tests 
were successful. This has been sent to Yves to incorporate in to the 
XSD.

Vote to accept 
option (2) as a valid solution. No opposition voiced. Motion 
carried.

The remaining 
issue is with mime types. Some discussion followed on whether to enumerate all 
the mime types and sub-types in the XSD. Bryan offered to look at whether we 
could compose the XSD to cover the existing MIME types and sub-types from the 
RFC by the end of the week and also allow pattern matching. It is to be based on 
the current "purpose" attribute which uses a union between a pattern match and a 
closed list.

 

[20] Phases of 
<alt-trans>

John didn't have 
a proposal for this. John suggested we leave it for V1.1. Tony asked what impact 
that would have. The absence of a tight definition leaves the door open fort
 ools developers to interpret the values differently. Tony suggested that we 
wouldn't be able to fix this regardless of how much time was spent. John agreed 
and pointed out that there were other areas open to interpretation in thes
 pecification. Tony suggested that we resolve this issue after V1.1. Johnp
 roposed that we defer this until after V1.1. Seconded by Mark. Carried without 
opposition.

 

[21] Attribute 
values list

Tony's mail with the 
attribute values attachment was reviewed http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/200302/msg00052.html

 

context-type

The list for 
context-type was accepted without opposition

 

count-type

The list for 
count-type was changed to hyphenated, lower-case values (e.g. "no-of-usages"). 
John suggested that we allow all values for "datatype", "restype" and "state" to 
be valid for "count-type" and remove duplicates from the "count-type" list. Some 
discussion about complex counting followed but it was decided to put this to one 
side until a later date. Some values were moved to the "state" attribute list. 
This just left "total", "repetition" and "num-usages". The list was then 
accepted without opposition.

 

datatype

"menu" renamed 
to "menufile". Some discussion on the "mimetype" value. Decision reached tor
 emove "mimetype" and incorporate valid "mime-type" values in to datatype."
 rcdata" moved to restype. "stringtable" and "window" removed. Shigamichis
 uggested some further values and will send them to Tony. The list was thena
 ccepted without opposition.

 

restype

The list was 
accepted without opposition.
