Sorry I had a conflict and couldn't make it this
week.


RF on Limited Terms is our preference as well.


I'm prepared to vote Yes on that at any time.

  Approved with amendments -Don moves, Scott Hudson
seconds, no objections.


  Amendment: Item 3 Action Item 


    From Don Day:

    For the action on the foreign element
discussion,
I propose this amendment:


    ACTION: Eric Sirois to provide an updated
example
and brief discussion on

    using the class attribute with foreign
attributes;
to be incorporated as an

    example into the spec topic for the
<foreign>
element.


  Amendment: Item 4 correction: 


    From Paul Grosso:

    Clarification to the minutes:


    Instead of "from text to data", we
are removing the "#FIXED"

    indication from the (already CDATA)
DITAArchVersion
attribute. 


    More precisely, I'd phrase the decision as
follows:


    DECISION: Robert moves to remove the "#FIXED"
indication from 

    the DITAArchVersion attribute and to include
version-specific 

    FPIs (formal public identifiers) in the catalog.
Scott
