FYI - Public review of XML 1.0 Second Edition

[dick@8760.com]

Last week a few of us were discussing the forthcoming release of XML V1.1, which
I've now learned is NOT called V1.1, but V1.0 Second Edition.

Subject: Public review of XML 1.0 Second Edition


> The W3C XML Core Working Group is planning to publish
> XML 1.0 Second Edition, a re-publication of the XML 1.0 Rec
> with errata incorporated.  (This is NOT a new version of XML.)
>
> At this time, we are making two versions of the draft Second
> Edition available for a four week public review, and all interested
> parties are invited to review the current drafts and submit
> comments.  This review period ends September 11th, and soon thereafter,
> the XML Core WG plans to make these documents (possibly as amended
> per comments) the official XML 1.0 Recommendation Second Edition.
>
> All these public review documents are linked from the W3C TR page [1].
> The "plain" draft Second Edition is at:
>   http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814
> and this is the version that would become the official Second Edition.
>
> We have also produced a "review copy" which highlights changes
> between the first edition and this Second Edition, and it is at:
>   http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-2e-20000814-review
> This *may* be provided along with the official Second Edition if
> it is deemed useful and appropriate, but the "plain" version is
> the official one.
>
> Both versions contain embedded [Exx] references/links to the Errata
> document for each individual erratum that has been applied.  (If we
> decide to maintain the "review" version, we may decide to delete the
> [Exx] references from the "plain" one.)
>
> Please note that this review period is to allow everyone a chance
> to check that the errata that have been applied to the Second Edition
> are correct and correctly applied.  Reports of further errata or
> ambiguities in XML 1.0 are welcome, but they will likely be saved
> to be considered for possible application to a later edition, not
> added to this Second Edition.
>
> Again, please note that this review period ends September 11th.
> As indicated in the drafts, comments should be sent to xml-editor@w3.org
> before the end of the review period.
