(From 24-25 Sep TAG ftf: "The principle of information-hiding is contrary to global identifiers....Shall we put in the document something about information hiding/independent design of orthogonal specs? You should should not be able to write an xpath to peek into http headers....")
   5. Action CL 2002/09/25: Redraft section 3, incorporating CL's existing text and TB's structural proposal (see minutes of 25 Sep ftf meeting on formats).
   6. Action NW 2002/09/25: Write some text for a section on namespaces (docs at namespace URIs, use of RDDL-like thing).

2.2 Priority issues

1. xlinkScope-23
   1. Action SW: Draw up a neutral proposal (due 21 Oct) summarizing threads and debating points on xlinkScope-23. Pending.
2. namespaceDocument-8
   1. Action TB 2002/09/24: Revise the RDDL document to use RDF rather than XLink. Goal of publication as W3C Note.

   • DO 2002/06/24: Contact WSDL WG about this issue (bindings, query strings and schemas) to ensure that it's on their radar. See discussions from 9 Sep TAG teleconf.
