Don will draft a note on our decision to
            use the 'xml' prefix for our xmlmention domain, to be put
            into xmlmention topic explaining the issue.

        
        
7. XML mention
          domain revisited

          [More research has revealed that the reservation of the 'xml'
          string is no longer in the XML spec, so we can avoid having to
          make any changes.]

          Kris; so, we were unaware of fact that it was no longer a
          problem.

          Don; in the future, we need to be cautious; we can go ahead
          with using the 'xml', but we need to explain it, for people
          who remember the reservation and don't know it's gone away.

          Michael; we could include a note and link in the xmlmention
          topic

          Robert; we don't want too much, just a note and/or link in the
          parent xmlmention topic.

          ActionItem; Don will draft the note to be put into topic
          explaining the issue.

          ---------------------------------

          

          <note>Although the original XML 1.0 Recommendation
          specifically reserved element names beginning with 'xml' or
          'XML' for the use of the XML standard itself, the subsequent
          introduction of namespaces (for example, xml:base) made the
          restriction moot and it was removed in the <xref href=""
            moz-do-not-send="true"
            href="http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-5e-errata">"http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-5e-errata"
          scope="external" format="html">errata to the 5th edition of
          the XML 1.0 Recommendation</xref>, which effectively
          replaces the XML 1.1. The OASIS DITA Technical Committee
          acknowledges this revised policy in its use of the
          semantically precise prefix 'xml' for the XML Mention
          domain.</note>
