3. Section D.3.2 Review (issue epub-specs#2200)

See github issue epub-specs#2200.

See github pull request epub-specs#2233.

Matt Garrish: this was basically a mini-registry that IDPF was making, we said you can use certain limited token values unless you provide a URL.
… there was a request to add to this mini-registry, but my preference is rather to drop restrictions on registry values.
… add note that we are no longer maintaining this.

Ivan Herman: in addition, mgarrish and I went through a number of older IDPF documents.
… Bill_Kasdorf noted that that there are a number of IDPF documents linked to older versions of spec.
… so I updated these links.
… in doing this we found the mini-registry, which is what this issue is about.
… so the proposal is that we use the same IDPF registries that were there before.
… in the meantime, we've gone through the registry values and updated links.
… we've reached out to various wg members, from JP, DE, etc. to ask for clarification on which links would be proper to use.
… zheng_xu_ if you can please help interpret the link to the chinese website, to see if it is the correct one.
… I wonder if there are other IDPF documents that need updating in the same way, but I'm not sure what those would be.

Matt Garrish: main ones are the vocabs, the CMT, so I think we got most of them.

Murata Makoto: do we need to finalize those changes to the IDPF registry today?

Ivan Herman: not right now at this meeting, but I'd like to have all of these changes behind us by next week.
… if you could look at the pointer that Koike-san provided by then, that would help.

Murata Makoto: are there EN versions of the data linked via these links?

Ivan Herman: I'm not sure, but these documents only need to be in their native languages.

Shinya Takami (高見真也): the first link from Koike-san's comment is good for these needs.
… the second one is more an introduction from the committee in charge, so it may not be correct for this use.

Ivan Herman: okay, I will wait until next week before finalizing any changes to the IDPF registry.

Murata Makoto: I will make my comments in the issue.

Ivan Herman: okay, thank you.

Matt Garrish: noting that there is a PR to resolve this.
