    - No objections to referring to previous minutes and not reading them

        during the meeting.

Approve minutes from previous meeting:

        objections, accepted by acclamation.

  * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200604/msg00062.html

    - Don -- deal with on mail list until later date.



Regular Business:

 * Finalize discussion of foreign/unknown element, (Priestley/Prescod exchange)

  * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200604/msg00060.html

    - DISCUSSION...same proposal becomes Unknown and Foreign proposal, i.e. two

        new base elements.

    - Michael proposes amendment to existing foreign element proposal to

        include two base elements -- foreign and unknown. Foreign element has 

        documented fall-through behavior, and its content model remains as

        documented in the current proposal. Unknown element has a content 

        model of any, and the default processing behavior is to ignore it. 

        If foreign contains more than one alternative content element, they

        will all be processed. In the case of <desc> they will be concatenated 

        in a similar way to <section> but no title (similar to <div> in HTML).

        Both foreign and unknown elements inherit the same attributes as in 

        the current proposal.

    - Michael moves to accept the proposal with the above ammendment, Gershon 

        seconds, no objections, accepted by acclamation.
