What does the NDR SC do, again?

• Charter
• Recommend to the TC rules and guidelines for
  normative-form schema design, instance design,
  and markup naming, and write and maintain
  documentation of these rules and guidelines
• We now have more kinds of outputs
• Position papers for internal idea exploration
• Focus papers for ideas that are ready for
  external review
• NDR document as the main vehicle for conveying
  the rules
• Separate rules documents (so far only the code
  list rules)
• Our current documents archive shows the latest
  documents that are ready for external consumption

Work done since F2F 4

• Continuous NDR document improvements
• 0pt65 draft review (for proper rule application
  and XML anomalies)
• Code lists (draft doc out seeking testers)
• Embedded documentation (just need to write it up)
• Dates and times (may need to undo since CCTS
  1.85)
• Containership (with LC SC finish this week)
• Nested supplementary components (CCTS 1.85 should
  provide a new path)

  disposed of
• So that it can contribute to the consolidated UBL
  deliverable
