 ======================================================================

 2. New Issues Opened Since Last Meeting (to be reviewed)

2355 - Some namespace tests should be moved from 'conformance' to
'acceptance'
> Dave M. indicated that the tests he is thinking about are those that
> have prefix collisions and need to generate a prefix not necessarily
> seen in the stylesheet nor in the XML being transformed.
> On second though however Dave thinks this is

2357 - CLONE -UNC path support
> This seems to be related to windows networking paths.
> Christine thinks later versions handle the security exception.
> Brian M. will post to this issue asking the reporter
> to try with a newer version and we will wait for a reply.

2358 - Clean up Xalan-J 2.7.1 NOTICE/LICENSE
> Henry Z. agreed to review this issue.

2360 - Serializer failes to include DocType for DOM.
> Brian M. agreed to take a look at this one.

2361 - DOM to stream conversion fails on prefix
       beginning like "xmlConfiguration"
> The namespace specification says that prefixes that start with "xml"
> are reserved for the use of W3C recommendations, but processors should
> not reject them. It is strongly discouraged that users use prefixes
> that start with "xml" except as specified by XML recommendations,
> but we want to "future-proof" our processors, so we should not
> reject it.



 ======================================================================

 3. Round Table discussion

Virtually all ad-hoc discussion is recorded in section 4. just below.
The only discussion worth of note is that no fixes since the
last meeting are going to go into 2.7.1. for reasons of code stability
and that the 2.7.1 branch has already been regression tested by Yash
Talwar.

The only remaining issue to make 2.7.1 is 2358 which is a legal
packaging issue required by Apache. After this the PMC will need to
vote on the release.



 ======================================================================

 4. Pending Issues from last time

 2334 - Namespace nodes are generated for empty namespace
> Kevin Cormier supplied a testcase
> tests/test there used to be a directory named bugzilla
> for regressions tests. Dave Marston agree to check if
> the testcase is a legitimate conformance test not
> and acceptance test. So Dave will review the
> testcase to see if it is a conformance test.


 2339 - XSLTC: name()-function doesnt work properly
        with test-statement before
> Kevin Cormier supplied a patch and Henry Z. agreed to review it.


 2346 - [PATCH] fixes for faulty NaN handling
> Kevin Cormier reviewed the patch and is OK with it.
> However a committer must give the official review,
> and Brian M. agreed to do that for this issue.


 2352 - Redirect Extension produces
 invalid UTF8 from a valid UTF8
 stream
> Yash Talwar had agree to take this one
> at the last JIRA meeting, and it is still
> waiting on that.


 2353 - XSLTC Templates.getOutputProperties()
        does not return custom properties
> Kevin Cormier supplied a patch that needs to be reviewed.
> Christine Li agreed to review this one.
