5. Status Reports & Misc
<scribe> Media type registrations
<scribe> DF summary: mnot created draft text
<scribe> seek additional mediatypes (MTs) ... list other alternatives
<scribe> noah - had friendly amendments
<scribe> Noah: the response to the amendments is unclear
<scribe> mnot: generally no major problems on the response
<scribe> davidF - if we merge noah's response with your text - is that
suitable?
<scribe> mnot - noah is right that new MT is appropriate for this
<scribe> mnot - whether to ping the liaison or not is a new query
<scribe> noah: the tone of the note is that we thing a new MT is necessary
for mtom
<scribe> some of the issues in the text may be confusing - the content
media type, etc...
<scribe> noah: how does this relate to miffy?
<scribe> mnot: there are issues with MT and miffy
<scribe> davidF: so should we ping the liaison with our text, or is it
premature?
<scribe> davidF: so if we merge the text - will it help our cause?
<scribe> mnot: yes modulo some items which would be confusing for them
<scribe> davidF: are there additional comments from other members (beside
mnot and noah)? .... none
<scribe> davidF: mnot and noah volunteered to generate a revision

<davidF> ACTION: MarkN and Noah to revise IETF/W3C liason text, due by CoB
21 Nov, for consideration at f2f

<scribe> Next item: xmlp / svg collaboration
<scribe> davidF: not much to report ... Robin B. gives tacit support for

<davidF> ACTION: DavidF to alert SVG to MIFFY, seek f/back by f2f

<scribe> Next AI - XMLP/WSD TF

6. F2F Meeting
<scribe> as of yesterday, 10 people registered
<scribe> if you cannot attend - please send regrets
<scribe> davidF: no telecon next week
<scribe> davidF: draft agenda is posted
<scribe> mnot - there will be ethernet connectivity
<scribe> mnot - no wireless :(
<scribe> davidF, mnot - group dinner will be decided on the day 
<scribe> mnot - 15th floor
<scribe> davidF: dialin is probable, but not certain

<davidF> ACTION: Chair to ensure telcon access to f2f mtg

<scribe> davidF: LC comments - intention was not to shortcircuit process
but to focus mindset on LC deadline
<scribe> davidF: miffy is a result of this focusing on the mtom deliverable
<scribe> davidf: miffy seems to be getting positive feedback, and LC is in
sight, so lets generate a list of the items needed to be completed
<scribe> davidF: note that the list isn't static
<scribe> davidF: this list serves the project management needs
<scribe> marc: this satisfies my concerns
<scribe> davidF: not all items will be completed at the f2f
<scribe> davidF: evaluate miffy for go/nogo decision is in scope for f2f
agenda
<scribe> davidF: agenda item: evaluate miffy ... we can step through doc
and identify items a thru z
<scribe> davidF: similarly with mtom
<scribe> davidF: also go through issues list
<scribe> davidF: 441, 442, 443 clutch of issues
<scribe> davidF: docs part of our LC package:
<scribe> Attachment Feature document - written before PASWA and MIFFY
<scribe> davidF: need to think more about this AF doc
<scribe> davidF: is the Requirment and Use Case document complete?
<scribe> davidF: do we need a separate primer for mtom/miffy or rider to
soap primer?
<scribe> davidF: first consider the applicability of primer text and then
the home
<scribe> davidF: review draft LC schedule
<scribe> davidF: list of SOAP 1.2 errata - we should have resolutions to
propose
<scribe> noah: is there not an issue regarding use of the XQuery Data Model
in mtom?
<scribe> noah: a handful of members should verify the XQDM details 
<scribe> noah: the XQDM may make claims that are not fully closed
<scribe> noah: this work item will take some pre-work by participating DM
checkers

<davidF> ACTION: noah to send XQDM sanity check issue to xmlp-comment

<scribe> marc: the miffy reformualation refactors mtom
<scribe> marc: a work item should occur to see if mtom will be refactored
given miffy
<scribe> davidF: yes - this evaluation should occur at the f2f, but the
timing will be difficult
<scribe> davidF: generate detailed list of things to change in each document
rather than new docs themselves 
<scribe> davidF: can the editors of mtom / miffy refactor the docs in time
for the f2f?
<scribe> mnot - yes
<scribe> noah: some things are best expressed in mtom, yet reworded in miffy
(??)
<scribe> mnot & noah: hashing out the possible mechanisms to refactor
these docs

<davidF> ACTION: markN to identify MTOM text to be included in MIFFY and/or
incorp that text into a revised version of MIFFY, due Nov 25

<scribe> davidF: how about mtom edits for the f2f?
<scribe> noah: there are other entanglements (Rep header), so a new mtom
version will be difficult to have before f2f
<scribe> noah: the interface between mtom and miffy will be very tight -
not just a reference
<scribe> davidF: can herve generate mtom text to relate the 2 specs? 
<scribe> herve: yes
<scribe> noah: clarification ... has the WG decided to go in the miffy direction?
<scribe> davidF: this is technically still open though the WG seems positive

<davidF> ACTION: Herve to generate MTOM text referencing MIFFY, due CoB
(CET) Tuesday Nov 25

<scribe> noah: query is to clarify editorial and potentially rollback activities
<scribe> marc: is primer on the agenda f2f?
<scribe> davidF: yes
<scribe> davidF: in summary: 
<scribe> davidF: revised versions of mtom and miffy
<scribe> davidF: we will evaluate these new versions
<scribe> davidF: evaluation will likely generate issues and comments
<scribe> davidF: we will deal with existing issues
<scribe> davidF: the DM issue in mtom and miffy
<scribe> davidF: 444 - XQuery in DM
<scribe> davidF: what to do with AF given mtom/miffy
<scribe> davidF: usecases and requirements
<scribe> davidF: UC & Req may be 'as-is'
<scribe> davidF: primer issue
<scribe> davidF: errata
<scribe> davidF: administrivia for LC
<scribe> davidF: there will be time limits on the issues coming out of the f2f
<scribe> davidF: will make some small changes to the f2f agenda
<scribe> davidF: it seems that generally the f2f agenda is OK

<scribe> davidF: skipping agenda item 7 to ensure we complete agenda item 8

8. SOAP 1.2 Rec Errata
<scribe> davidF: issues resolution should conform to a process
<herve> The reference is:
http://www.w3.org/2003/06/Process-20030618/tr.html#errata
<scribe> davidF: pls read the process document for details on how to
resolve these issues
<davidF> list of SOAP 1.2 errata issue assignments:
<davidF> 7 anish
<davidF> 8 anish
<davidF> 9 marc
<davidF> 10 herve
<davidF> 11 markN
<davidF> 12 marc
<davidF> 13 david
<davidF> 14 john
<davidF> 15 mikeM (scribe)
<davidF> 16 jacek
<davidF> .... end of list
* JacekK gudge: re 16 - does adding  type='xs:QName'  really cover the intention? 8-)
* Gudge Jacek, not sure, need to look into it
* JacekK will propose that for 16, gudge may review it, the mail should cover it
all 8-)

7. Attachments
<scribe> davidF: general comments on miffy...
<scribe> davidF: people are generally happy with it technically
<scribe> mnot: the name is intended to be throw away
<scribe> noah: same loose ends as with mtom
<scribe> noah: miffy uri's in the xbin:include should be self contained
<scribe> noah: there should be some use cases which tease out both options
<scribe> marc: how uri's get 'absolutized' in the package
<scribe> mnot: we could limit ref uris to cid uri's
<scribe> marc: +1 (I think)
<scribe> davidF: error behavior debated
<scribe> noah: we are documenting to the level of raising the exception
but not further into the taxonomy of error types
<scribe> davidF: please date the next version of miffy 
<scribe> mnot: yes
<scribe> noah: do we say anything about the base uri of a miffy document?
<scribe> noah: also, should we put representation headers in the miffy spec
<scribe> marc: the representation capability could be applied to miffy
<scribe> group: representation headers apply only to SOAP, or more generally
