3.  Review of Action items [.1].  Editorial actions [.2].

PENDING   2004-04-01: Marsh will get schema tf going.
PENDING   2004-09-02: Bijan to create stylesheet to generate a
                      table of components and properties.
PENDING   2004-09-16: Editors to move App C to RDF Mapping spec, 
                      except the frag-id which will move 
                      within media-type reg appendix.
PENDING   2004-09-16: Editors to fix paragraph 6-9 of section 
                      2.1.1 moved into 2.1.2
                      which talks about the syntax.
PENDING   2004-09-30: Arthur to add Z notation to Part 1.

Discussion with Arthur about Z notation and javascript in a single
document
[pauld: let them eat Z! one version to rule them all..]
Much discussion about how to present the Z notation: inline with
Javascript to hide, 2 documents, etc.
Expectation is to default to Z notation hidden. This would be the
non-normative version.
Normative version would have everything w/ no hiding functionality.

                      implementation and decide on the two doc's 
                      vs javascript method later.
PENIDNG   2004-10-14: Editors to add a statement like: 
                      The Style property may constrain both 
                      input and output, however a particular 
                      style may constrain in only one 
                      direction. In Section 2.4.1.1 of Part 1.

Jan 6th telcon to be devoted to Media Type Description issues

  e. Good Standing proposal [.3]

Good Standing proposal - JMarsh may have math wrong, but it was an
example of what *would* happen
Asir:    Will the good standing status be visible to members?
JMarsh:  Would an Excel spreadsheet be OK?
ACTION:  Marsh to publish spreadsheet with Good Standing calculations.

  f. Primer Publication [.4]

DBooth:  the primer seems ready to publish as a draft
Concern raised that the Last Call of the spec doesn't match the Primer,
which refers to things in the editors draft.  In particular the Schema
in the editors draft is more up to date.
Hugo:    I believe we should point to the editors draft of the spec.
Discussion on how to indicate to readers which documents to use...
[kliu:   ACTION: primer editors to add explanatory text and refer to the
latest editor's copy of the spec]
Arthur:  Concerned about the validation of the primer, not willing to
raise an objection to prevent publishing
Arthur:  The validation of the WSDL in the primer.
[kliu:   ACTION: primer editors to check examples and make sure they are
consistent with the latest wsdl2.0 schema]
Asir: points out a bad link in the primer. DBooth will address
Jmarsh: Any objects to publishing the first draft of the primer?
No objections!
[sanjiva: Thanks to Kevin and David for the hard work on the primer!]
[asir: dbooth, in the informative reference section .. you have a
reference to the primer itself]
[asir: Thanks to David and Kevin, Good Work!]

Hugo sent Email about another problem with our resolution
Hugo:    About the use of out-first patterns with the HTTP binding.  
         At the time we said this was possible, but it would need 
         out-of-band info about where to send it.  With current 
         text, out-first is not very useful. Do we even want to 
         talk about it?
Asir:    We don't have to reopen LC21, we could just take care of 
         implmentation details
Hugo:    Options:
         1. Keep decision we made, allow out-first MEPs. Means 
            Request URI is fixed and in WSDL
         2. Isn't worth it to have out-first, reverse decision and 
            not allow it
         3. We decide we really want it and work out details on how 
            to do it.
Hugo:    Going to be tough to get interop.
[dbooth: TomJ: Not worth having the out-first HTTP. ]
Tomj:    in favor of removing out-first HTTP - save interop grief.
Asir:    supports removing it
Sanjiva: opposed to out-first binding unless it's usable - remove it.
[alewis: agree that out-first is inappropriate for http]
[asir:   I tracked down this particular decision to item 10 in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Oct/0066.html]
TomJ:    Don't want to *prevent* people from designing their own 
         way of getting out-first ops to work.
Hugo:    Users can define their own binding.
Jacek:   We talk about this before - it's allowed and anything to 
         make it work is out of scope
Sanjiva: The spec should just talk about the MEPs that work and not 
         preclude others.
Glen:    Extensibility is the way to go here, if someone puts an 
         out-first operation in their WSDL, they better put some sort 
         of indication in the WSDL as to how to get it to work
JMarsh:  Removing it completely (option 1): tools would reject the 
         WSDL unless a (probably mandatory) extension told them 
         how things work
JMarsh:  Reviews the possibilities: remove out-first from HTTP 
         binding, or leave it in and say you must fill in the 
         blanks as to how it works
more discussion on how we could get out-first to work
[asir:   Oh well, we have spent enough time on this !!]
DBooth:  Proposes to change out spec to say that the HTTP binding 
         supports the in-first MEPs. Other MEPs may be used, but 
         would require an extension to be used
[asir:   +1 to Jonathan's rephrase]
Support for Dave's proposal
[GlenD:  Other MEPs may be used, but the semantics of their usage must 
         be defined in some way, such as with an extension or Feature.]
Talking about wording.
[sanjiva: "if some other meps (such as outbound meps) are in use in 
         the interface then some extension may be required to 
         indicate how those work with this binding"]
ACTION:  Part 3 Editors to update the HTTP binding with one of the above
         versions of text

Call next week will be a Task Force. See you next year!
