   • Note: we will spend the last 15 or so minutes of the call updating the status of overdue and pending action items. TAG members are encouraged to update due dates and status flags prior to the call.
   • POWDER last call (reviews due 27 April 2009): so far no TAG member has expressed an interest in doing a formal review. Dan suggests that site metadata should be considered along with POWDER, and he says he can provide a review for discussion on 16 April.
   • Progress report on publication of Usage Patterns For Client-Side URL parameters working draft.
   • Reminder that chair has sent a summary of materials relating to TAG priorities and a request that the next round of discussions of goals and priorities be done using email, starting now.

     • 23-25 June 2009 @ MIT
     • 22-24 Sept 2009 @ MIT (tentative)
4. Web Services Resource Access (brief)
   • Background:
     • WS-RA chair Bob Freund asked the TAG to comment soon if at all if there are concerns with the likely direction of WS-RA.
     • Noah asked TAG members whether they wished to comment.
     • Ashok suggested that the TAG should not comment; Larry Masinter suggested having a note added to the specs expressing our concerns; Ashok responded that such notes fade into the noise and are ignored and Noah pointed out that experience trying just this approach seems, unfortunately, to support Ashok's conclusion.
   • Goal:
     • Agree on a TAG response to the request from WS-RA.
5. XMLVersioning-41 (ISSUE-41).
   • Background:
     • Chair's message summarizing status of versioning work in the TAG (sent 24 March 2009).
     • HTML working group action 108 requests that the TAG consider HTML when working on versioning
     • The TAG had earlier decided not to actively pursue development of the finding on versioning.
     • TAG Blog posting: Version Identifiers Reconsidered
     • Thread starting with John Kemp email on updating AWWW good practice note on versioning
     • At 23 March 2009 AC meeting there was at least an informal sense that the AC wanted the TAG to help with the extensibility issue, primarily in the context of HTML. Tim took an action (from the AC, not the TAG) to see that the TAG takes a look at this.
     • The following TAG actions are open or pending under ISSUE-41:
       • ACTION-183 (David Orchard) Incorporate formalism into versioning compatibility strategies. Due 3 March 2009. Pending review Jonathan reports that he and David have decided not to incorporate the formalism after all, so we need to consider fate of the formalism work.
       • ACTION-229 (Noah Mendelsohn) Noah to respond to John Kemp proposal of Feb 17 on versioning. Due 14 April 2009. Pending review
       • ACTION-241 (Larry Masinter) Larry Masinter to Review TAG versioning situation and report back to TAG and HTML - due 2009-03-12, open
   • Goals:
     • Verify that TAG members are "up to speed" on prior work on versioning (if not, we will defer discussion for a week)
     • Decide whether, given the above background, we want to again work actively on versioning, and if so, with what specific goals.
     • Review status of TAG actions. At very least, establish follow up on thread started with John Kemp's 17 Feb. message, and then close ACTION-229.
6. contentTypeOverride-24 (ISSUE-24):
   • Discussion will be led by: Dan Connolly (confirmed)
   • Background:
     • Dan Connolly suggests that we discuss the draft Content-Type Processing Model, by Ian Hickson and Adam Barth; the draft proposes interoperable rules for Content-type "sniffing" in browsers. Note that the draft acknowledges at one point that it is in "... willful violation of the HTTP specification. [RFC2616]".
     • ACTION-233 on Larry Masinter: Report back from IETF/HTML liaison meeting in March regarding MIME type override - due 2009-03-11 - open
     • ACTION-236 on Noah Mendelsohn: Schedule discussion of the stress on media types imposed by client-side synthesised[sic] content - due 2009-04-09 - open
   • Goals:
     • Update TAG on IETF liaison wrt the Content-Type Processing Model draft.
     • Solicit TAG reviews.
7. HTML
   • Background:
     • Discussion on 26 March telcon of HTML progress at W3C Advisory Committee meeting.
     • Dan Connolly and Michael Sperberg-McQueen draft Web addresses in HTML 5, which is factored from the HTML 5 draft. (see email from Dan announcing the draft).
     • ACTION-253 on Dan Connolly: Brief the TAG on progress on \"web addresses in HTML\" draft - due 2009-04-01 - open (ISSUE-27)
     • This seems also to relate to ACTION-188 on Dan Connolly: Investigate the URL/IRI/Larry Masinter possible resolution of the URL/HTML5 issue. - due 2009-03-17 - closed.
   • Goals:
     • Discuss Web addresses in HTML 5.
