[dsdl-discuss] Re: Result of the ballot

Ken

Given that the Canadian "excuse" for the no vote was "The W3C XSL WG is
considering streaming requirements for a future version of XSLT. In fact
some of the STX authors have joined the W3C XSL WG to work on this topic.
Canada feels that it may be pre-mature to adopt this work as a CD." AND
given that W3C has never publically announced that they intended to produce
a streaming version of XSL I am extremely angry at the Canadian ballot
response. The first I heard about the W3C work was privately from
Sperlberg-McQueen on Thursday, and I forced them to publically admit what
they were up to at Extreme last Friday.

If I had known then about the Canadian response to the ballot I would
certainly have given Micheal a strong piece of my mind, rather than agreeing
to submit user requirements to them for their standard, as we did for XProc.

I would personally suggest that WG1 resubmit STX for reballot rather than
withdraw it following this "spoiling" tactic from Canada.

Petr, we will need to produce a detailed set of use cases for and ISO
stream-based service that clearly shows what we wish to achieve that the W3C
is unable to achieve. Could you please produce this by early November so
that we can discsuss it in detail at our December meeting in Kyoto. (It
needs to be circulated 4 weeks before the meeting on 7th December.) Thanks

Martin
