  13. # [00:51] <Hixie> wow, shelley just sent what i believe is the most honest answer as to why people want to keep summary="" despite it having demonstrably failed to improve accessibility
  14. # [00:56] <annevk2> 'They've spent, what seems to me, a lot of time promoting this attribute, and accessibility in general. And now, a few people just want to yank it because "it's not being used right".' -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs
  15. # [01:00] <Hixie> yup

  19. # [01:02] <Dashiva> It could be that some people believe that the bad use just doesn't count. It's just a tiny waste of time each occasion.
  20. # [01:09] <Philip`> "wow. fascinating. depressing." - that's an appropriate response to pretty much any attempt to look at a random collection of real-world markup
  21. # [01:10] <Dashiva> Or humanity in general :)
  22. # [01:10] <Philip`> I hope nobody is going to notice that there's some weird euc-jp decoding issues on my table-summary-values-dotbot page where it inexplicably misses the '"' at the end of an attribute value
  23. # [01:11] <Philip`> (I assume it's an euc-jp decoding issue because all the offending values look kind of Japanese or something foreign like that)
  24. # [01:11] <Philip`> (I can't reproduce the problem with parsetree.validator.nu but I don't care enough to debug it further)
  25. # [01:12] <Dashiva> Shouldn't the URL show whether it's Japanese or not?
  26. # [01:12] <Philip`> I guess so
  27. # [01:12] <Philip`> but I didn't look very closely
  28. # [01:13] <Philip`> and I'm not going to look now because it's a 5MB page and I have to pay the equivalent of half a chocolate digestive biscuit per megabyte of traffic
  29. # [01:14] <Dashiva> Well, I just clicked the expand link in your summary table :)
  30. # [01:15] <Philip`> You could look for some of the values lower down that have strings like "<tr>" in them
  31. # [01:16] <Philip`> and see if those are .jp pages
  32. # [01:16] <Dashiva> Yup
  33. # [01:16] <Hixie> Philip` needs a better network service provider
  34. # [01:16] <Hixie> one that charges a flat rate
  35. # [01:16] <Lachy> I'm surprised by how well Shelly wrote those emails about summary. Is she the same Shelly who's been complaining about RDFa stuff?
  36. # [01:16] <Hixie> and not per bit
  37. # [01:17] <Dashiva> Maybe they charge per byte, so it still costs the same if he only downloads 7 bits
  38. # [01:17] <Philip`> Hixie: I have one of those, but the wireless router appears to be dead, so I'm using a mobile broadband thingamy instead
  39. # [01:17] * Quits: dglazkov (n=dglazkov@216.239.45.4)
  40. # [01:18] <Hixie> Philip`: fix the router :-P
  41. # [01:18] <Dashiva> Philip`: I checked a few different ones, they all contain Japanese sites. I can't say every site listed is Japanese, but it seems likely.
  42. # [01:18] <Philip`> Hixie: I can't fix it myself - all I can do is complain to the owners, and they're asleep now :-p
  43. # [01:19] <Lachy> although, I really hate it when people claim that "... the folks who really want this attribute gone, really have no alternative solution in mind." because that's just complete nonsense.
  44. # [01:19] <Hixie> Philip`: ah
  45. # [01:20] * Philip` found that most "flat rate" mobile broadband thingamy plans had a limit of 3GB per month, and cost £15/month, which isn't so good
  46. # [01:21] <Philip`> (so I got one that's £15/GB and doesn't expire for 6 months, which is better value when I don't use it much)
  47. # [01:21] <takkaria> Philip`: hm, is that 3G USB stick-type stuff? who did you get yours from?
  48. # [01:22] <Philip`> takkaria: It is
  49. # [01:22] <Dashiva> Bah. Why is it so hard to get that stuff like autoplay are author hints, the UA is perfectly capable of overriding.
  50. # [01:22] <Philip`> takkaria: It's a Vodafone one
  51. # [01:23] <takkaria> Philip`: ah cool, sounds like what I want really
  52. # [01:24] <Philip`> takkaria: (Also it works on Linux, with a couple of configuration files found via Google)

  248. # [22:24] <webben> (OT): http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#charset Anybody know what CSS2.1 means by "byte" here?
  249. # [22:25] <webben> I'm trying to implement CSS2.1 character encoding sniffing, and I'm just looking at the character encodings that involve transcoding.
  250. # [22:25] <webben> Starting with GSM 03.38.
  251. # [22:25] * gsnedders notes this would be easier if he hadn't just crashed his web browser
  252. # [22:26] * Quits: maikmerten_ (n=maikmert@BAB9e0d.bab.pppool.de) (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
  253. # [22:27] <webben> What's confusing me is that whereas you can grab octets for (say) UTF-8 bytes (i.e. octets) and match against their regexes, GSM 03.38 takes packs 7-bit codepoints into octets.
  254. # [22:27] * Joins: maikmerten_ (n=maikmert@BAE1a59.bae.pppool.de)
  255. # [22:27] <webben> so if you just naively grab the octets, they won't match that regex
  256. # [22:27] <gsnedders> Well, if it is codepoints then doesn't that give you the Unicode string?
  257. # [22:27] <webben> you actually have to decompose them to septets.
  258. # [22:28] <webben> gsnedders: I'm using codepoints loosely. These aren't unicode codepoints.
  259. # [22:28] * gsnedders thinks this would be easier to answer if he actually knew what GSM did :)
  260. # [22:29] <webben> There the abstract hex values in the GSM 03.38 character encoding, which can be represented into 7 bits, which are then packed into octets such that one octet contains bits from multiple codepoints.
  261. # [22:29] <webben> http://pda.etsi.org/exchangefolder/ts_100900v070200p.pdf is the GSM 03.38 spec.
  262. # [22:30] <webben> and http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/ is a English-language description of what it does.
  263. # [22:30] <webben> I've been wrestingly with this in increasing confusion all day; figured there's quite a lot of spec-compliance and character encoding knowledge in this channel ;)
  264. # [22:31] * gsnedders would ignore that table in CSS21 :)
  265. # [22:31] <gsnedders> Other things make more sense for GSM 03.38, IMO.
  266. # [22:31] <gsnedders> Or maybe I'm wrong
  267. # [22:31] * gsnedders shrugs
  268. # [22:31] <gsnedders> Don't ask me!
  269. # [22:31] <webben> I've also been wondering: who delivers CSS in GSM 03.38? I can't find any reference to this anywhere else.
  270. # [22:32] * webben is also amused that i18n's test cases for CSS and charset don't actually cover all these random encodings.
