TEI SO W 01, Differences Between XPointer and the TEI Extended Pointer Mechanism

Not discussed.

TEI SO W 02, ‘executive summary’

Draft complete; DD would like to post as soon as typos fixed.

Action 1: DD Fix typos and post draft of sow02 to list. 2003-03-11

(I made up the due date; I also think a few improvements above and beyond typos might be made in the time alloted ala my posts to the list this morning.)

DD believes ID/IDREF pretty uncontroversial. Concerned about controversy in SOM section, where he says ‘XInclude’, as FV had some custom tags for same purpose that he claims are better. However, FV does not see objections to XInclude as he prefers a standard that's nearly perfect to a home-grown solution that is perfect. JH & SB would like to know what the differences (i.e., shortcomings of XInclude) are.

TEI SO W 03, re-work of SA

DD will not be done by next week, but will post something [?...?] (SB had suggested we plan to discuss this paper 03-28, but no resolution on this detail).
