- # [11:08] <pimpbot> Title: HTML 5 (at www.w3.org)
- # [11:09] <anne> will be published during the evening or so?
- # [11:12] <Philip> Hmm, code isn't orange any more :-(
- # [11:12] <heycam> yeah, /me is sad at the lack of style
- # [11:13] <heycam> if the point of publishing WDs is to solicit review, i think the poor styling will hinder that somewhat
- # [11:14] <zcorpan> anne: <form> gained autocomplete (for the diffs doc)
- # [11:14] <heycam> MikeSmith, did you use aaronsw's htmldiff for the diffed version?
- # [11:14] <anne> zcorpan, too late
- # [11:14] <MikeSmith> I didn't make a diffed version
- # [11:15] <heycam> oh, i see i was looking at the currently published version
- # [11:15] <MikeSmith> that one used something that I think Shane McCarron wrote
- # [11:15] <heycam> ok
- # [11:15] * Joins: darobin (robinb@81.66.15.230)
- # [11:16] <heycam> it's seriously crying out for some line-height love :/
- # [11:16] <heycam> also, the TOC looks a bit silly with the numbers!
- # [11:17] <myakura> ?
- # [11:17] <myakura> oops, i was looking at html5-diff
- # [11:19] <heycam> MikeSmith, could you just stick ol.toc li { list-style: none; } in the local <style> of Overview.html?
- # [11:24] * Joins: tlr (tlr@128.30.52.30)
- # [11:24] <zcorpan> why is gsnedders using <ol> for the toc anyway? :P
- # [11:25] <heycam> seems like the toc items should be ordered...
- # [11:29] <MikeSmith> heycam: changed & committed
- # [11:29] <MikeSmith> thanks
- # [11:30] <heycam> MikeSmith, thanks
- # [11:30] <zcorpan> heycam: "The ol element represents a list of items, where the items have been intentionally ordered, such that changing the order would change the meaning of the document."
- # [11:30] <heycam> i think changing the order would change the meaning of the document, since the list then wouldn't illustrate the order of sections in the document
- # [11:32] <zcorpan> the items are synced with the sections but you could reorder the sections and the toc
- # [11:32] <zcorpan> hixie sometimes reorders stuff in html5 without changing the meaning
- # [11:32] <heycam> but you couldn't change the order of the list without changing the order of the sections themselves to match

- # [11:35] <Hixie> hm?
- # [11:36] <zcorpan> Hixie: whether ToCs should use <ol> or <ul>
- # [11:36] <Hixie> <ol>, obviously
- # [11:37] <Hixie> the order is important
- # [11:40] <jgraham> ^ This is why semantics are an illusion
- # [11:40] <Hixie> semantics are a tool
- # [11:40] <jgraham> No one can agree on what they mean
- # [11:41] <jgraham> In some cases it works OK, I guess. Like people tend to put useful stuff in <title>
- # [11:45] <Philip> jgraham: That demonstrates we need a machine-readable way to encode the semantics of an element, so that humans don't have to agree amongst themselves
- # [11:47] <Hixie> -_-

- # [18:08] <pimpbot> Title: Re: Request for PFWG WAI review of summary for tabular data from Al Gilman on 2008-08-06 (public-html@w3.org from August 2008) (at lists.w3.org)
- # [18:09] <oedipus> DC: that says summary should stay but not why
- # [18:09] <oedipus> JOC: a lot of discussion and related threads on HTML wiki
- # [18:09] <oedipus> CW: email just says need to discuss further -- like timeframe to work out details
- # [18:10] <Joshue> JOC: More on @summary http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/SummaryForTABLE
- # [18:10] <pimpbot> Title: HTML/SummaryForTABLE - ESW Wiki (at esw.w3.org)
- # [18:10] <oedipus> JOC: discussion been circular

- # [18:10] * Zakim sees oedipus on the speaker queue
- # [18:10] <oedipus> GJR: the question isn't why put it back, but why was it taken out?
- # [18:10] <anne> (I think the TF is about something else.)
- # [18:10] <Joshue> JOC: I am talked out on this one.
- # [18:11] <Joshue> JOC: +1 to GJR
- # [18:11] <DanC> (I'd rather the TF were more established before handing it something like @summary)
- # [18:11] <anne> (I.e. about ARIA and HTML.)
- # [18:11] <oedipus> SR: don't want recriminations - question is does it belong in HTML5 or not -- one camp thinks belongs, other doesn't - need to move out of entrenched position and arguments from other side
- # [18:11] <masinter> that was me, LMM
- # [18:11] <DanC> s/SR:/LMM:/
- # [18:12] <oedipus> GJR: a) summary was added specifically for an intended purpose; it is supported by ATs and is very useful in orienting the user to the table with which that user is about to interact -- longdesc for TABLE
- # [18:13] <oedipus> LMM: intent, but hasn't been used that way -- statistics might be disputed, but need better evidence of support
- # [18:13] * Joins: Laura (lauracarls@131.212.98.217)
- # [18:13] <oedipus> CW: don't want to debate suport r lack of suppoprt
- # [18:13] <Joshue> JOC: Agree with Sam that we need to move beyond entrenched attitudes but a little sure at this stage exactly how to do that.
- # [18:13] <DanC> (with Sam? it was Larry)
- # [18:13] <rubys> s/Sam/Larry
- # [18:13] <oedipus> GJR: why isn't AT support sufficient?
- # [18:13] <Joshue> JOC: Sorry, Larry.
- # [18:13] <oedipus> q?
- # [18:13] * Zakim sees oedipus on the speaker queue
- # [18:13] <oedipus> ack oe
- # [18:13] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [18:14] <Joshue> JOC: Chris, The problem is the nature of the required evidence.
- # [18:14] <oedipus> CW: if evidence in support in tools and use in content -- personal standpoint, that would be enough -- point to evidence and issue should be resolved
- # [18:14] <DanC> (did I miss the data about support in authoring tools? where was it given? it's not in 2008Aug/0213.html )
- # [18:15] <oedipus> CW: don't know the data that says this is supoprted in accessibility tools

- # [18:15] <oedipus> CW: get evidence out there in mail thread, point to it and should resolve itself
- # [18:15] <masinter> Dreamweaver supports table summary, and has "since time immemorial"
- # [18:16] <oedipus> LMM: dreamweaver suppored summary since time immemorial
- # [18:16] <Joshue> JOC: That is pretty good evidence.
