- # [00:23] <AryehGregor> It doesn't, it's very vague, as with all UI issues. But it seems wrong if I update the datalist and the suggestions don't actually display right away.

- # [00:23] <Lachy> AryehGregor, I would recommend filing a bug anyway, since it's obviosly not well optimised for the use cases it's meant for
- # [00:23] <AryehGregor> I was going to convert mwsuggest.js to use <datalist> where supported, but I guess I won't if the suggestions are for what you typed in on the last key . . .
- # [00:23] <AryehGregor> You mean a spec bug?
- # [00:23] <AryehGregor> Or an Opera bug?
- # [00:23] <Lachy> Opera bug
- # [00:24] <Lachy> but you could file a spec bug too, if you think the spec needs to say something about this
- # [00:24] <AryehGregor> Okay.
- # [00:24] <Lachy> though, it is a UI issue, so maybe it doesn't
- # [00:24] <AryehGregor> Last time I filed an Opera bug (also about a problem with Opera HTML5 implementation) I never got a response.
- # [00:24] <Philip`> All you need to do is get yourself employed by Opera, so you can access the bug tracker
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> I don't think the spec needs to say anything here, although I'll have other suggestions about <datalist>.
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> Philip`, why didn't I ever think of that
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> ?
- # [00:25] <AryehGregor> "Spec violation – Opera is performing contrary to published, interworking recommendations by the W3C" So I shouldn't use this if it violates IETF specs? :)
- # [00:26] <Lachy> AryehGregor, unfortunately, since we don't run an open bug tracker, external bug reporters don't automatically get notified of further discussions
- # [00:26] * AryehGregor enters a data: URL in the "What URL triggers this bug, if any?" field

- # [00:27] <AryehGregor> I figured, but I was wondering what the reasons are for the status quo. Since you aren't saying, and neither did the last Opera dev I talked to about this (who was possibly also you), I guess it's secret.
- # [00:27] <AryehGregor> Oh well.
- # [00:27] <AryehGregor> I guess I'll work for Wikimedia instead. :P
- # [00:27] <Lachy> unfortunately, AIUI, we have bugs related to client work and other secret stuff that can't be revealed publicly, and there's no easy way to identify bugs that are safe for public viewing from those that aren't
- # [00:28] <AryehGregor> Well, Apple manages. I assume they have secret internal bug trackers, but they have a public Bugzilla too.
- # [00:28] <AryehGregor> For WebKit, I mean.
- # [00:28] <AryehGregor> I'm sure you've heard all this before, though.
- # [00:28] <Lachy> yeah, I know. But we only have one bug tracker used for both internal and external reports
- # [00:29] <Lachy> it's been suggested that bugs filed by external reporters are made public, but then the issue here is that someone internally could comment and inadvertenly mention something that's not public knowledge

- # [00:51] <AryehGregor> "ravel" is another culprit, but it's less common.

- # [01:04] <TabAtkins> Grah, it's surprising how much of a difference a little syntax makes. I don't like passing literal arrays to functions in PHP, especially nested ones. But passing objects in javascript is no problem at all.
- # [01:04] <AryehGregor> Yeah, it's remarkable.
- # [01:05] <AryehGregor> The syntax for arrays in PHP is ugly, and it makes them so much less usable.

- # [01:07] <TabAtkins> AryehGregor: It's especially annoying because the ugliness of the syntax is the only thing really stopping me from finally making my sql-query constructor handle table joins.
- # [01:07] <AryehGregor> Heh, so you made one too?
- # [01:08] <AryehGregor> MediaWiki has a pretty nice one.
- # [01:08] <TabAtkins> Of course, how can you *possibly* spend any significant amount of time hand-constructing queries?
- # [01:08] <TabAtkins> It's horrible.
- # [01:10] <TabAtkins> I've been thinking of switching to a chaining-based api just so I can implement joins without gobs of horrible nesting.

- # [01:13] <Lachy> in microdata, can someone clarify for me how I'm supposed to use the "fn" and "n" properties in the vcard vocabulary?
- # [01:14] <Lachy> I don't get why both "fn" and "n" exist, or why "fn" must be present if "n" is present
- # [01:16] <TabAtkins> I think it's legacy constraints from the original vcard format.

- # [01:16] <TabAtkins> The microformats wiki page should explain their use pretty well.
- # [01:16] <TabAtkins> It was sensical enough for me to use it on my pages, at least.
- # [01:19] <Lachy> But if I use <span itemprop="fn n">, then "n" actually needs to be an item, so that would become <span itemscope itemprop="fn n">, but "fn" is supposed to be a string, not an item, so then I would have to split them into two separate elements.
- # [01:19] <Lachy> or otherwise rely on the implied "n" optimisation
- # [01:21] <TabAtkins> Hrm. Yeah, I think you can't use them together in Microdata, and have to either put both of them in or use the implied "n" optimizations.
- # [01:22] <Hixie> i'm baffled by the number of people who don't want the spec to encourage user agents to try to make things better for AT users in the face of authoring mistakes
- # [01:22] <Hixie> why do people want to pubish users for authoring mistakes?
- # [01:23] <Hixie> it's like the whole draconican parsing thing all over again
- # [01:24] <othermaciej> Hixie: I think people are either misreading the spec, or buying into a subtle argument about giving authors incorrect expectations
- # [01:24] <AryehGregor> Hixie, I think they're mostly asking to rephrase to be vaguer at this point, aren't they?
- # [01:24] <Lachy> I don't think people are opposed to ATs providing a better user experience. They seem to be opposed to the spec setting seemingly unrealistic requirements and somehow giving authors unrealistic expectaions and choosing not to give alternative text
- # [01:25] <TabAtkins> +1 to Lachy.
- # [01:26] <Lachy> and since the purpose of the statement in the spec is to give implementations permission to use alternative techniques, it seems reasonable to say so without indicating what those techniques may be, especially when it could be misconstrued as referring to futuristic technologies
- # [01:26] <TabAtkins> That is, I certainly don't want to punish users because authors were bad. It totally makes sense that image-reading heuristics, when they exist and are practical, should be used in the absence of @alt.
- # [01:27] <Hixie> OCR is not a futuristic technology
- # [01:27] <othermaciej> I think it would probably fine to say that if alt is missing, UAs can present any other information they are able to get in lieu of a text alternative
- # [01:27] <Lachy> I don't think it's clear to everyone that "image analysis heuristics" refers to things like OCR.
- # [01:27] <othermaciej> and if specific examples are listed at all, they should be clearly realistic examples like using the filename or performing OCR
- # [01:28] <Lachy> people seem to be thinking it refers to some kind of futuristic AI, that can look at a picture and determine what it is and what it means in context
- # [01:28] <Hixie> there is shipping technology today that does painting recognition, OCR, landmark recognition, etc, on arbitrary images
- # [01:28] <Hixie> which would really help users who can't see images
- # [01:28] <TabAtkins> "User agents may also apply image analysis heuristics…" does seem to imply that such heuristics exist, when outside of OCR they don't reliably.
- # [01:29] <Lachy> yes, but those things, like Google Goggles, require large collections of sample images with which to compare the subject image with
- # [01:29] <othermaciej> there are in fact heuristics that can recognize all kinds of images other than images of text
- # [01:29] <TabAtkins> Outside of images of text, though, you run into the intent problem. A description of the image may not be valid alt text.
- # [01:29] <Hixie> sure
- # [01:29] <othermaciej> mostly either research projects, or somewhat experimental, and often requiring a huge corpus
- # [01:29] <Hixie> but it's better than nothing!
- # [01:30] <othermaciej> it's not even that clear to me how I'd use the shipping Google Goggles to build an accessibility feature for a UA - uploading every image that lacks alt text seems like a bad idea for both bandwidth and privacy reasons
- # [01:31] <Lachy> Hixie, I just think you should try to find a way that makes the intent of the statement clear, without making people think the spec is setting unrealistic expectations
- # [01:31] <othermaciej> that being said, it seems like a much more general statement would both be less objectionable, and more broadly applicable
- # [01:31] * Quits: cardona507 (n=cardona5@c-67-180-160-250.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) ("zzzzz")
- # [01:31] <Hixie> well i'd be happy to make the text even vaguer so long as we still explicitly allow such behaviour
- # [01:32] <Hixie> (no bug was ever filed for this as far as i know, btw)
- # [01:33] <Lachy> personally, I thought image analysis heuristics was a rather general statement already, and I don't agree with most of the rationale that was given in the change proposal
- # [01:33] <Hixie> yeah i'm not exactly sure how to make it vaguer
- # [01:33] <Lachy> maybe use less jargon
- # [01:36] <Lachy> Change it to "User agents may also utilise any other available techniques or technologies to help the user make sense of the image when the user is unable to make direct use of the image, ..."
- # [01:37] <Hixie> well it's not _any_ other
- # [01:37] <Hixie> e.g. iirc we explicitly discourage use of the filename
- # [01:37] <Hixie> since that has been shown to hurt more than help
- # [01:38] <Lachy> that's an implementation decision though. There's no reason to have the spec explicitly disallow it
- # [01:39] <othermaciej> I think it might also help to say "get information about the image" instead of "make sense of the image"
- # [01:39] <othermaciej> since the latter seems to be what makes people think the technology described is science-fictional
- # [01:39] <Lachy> also, the file name is not always useless. It is when it's a bunch of random letters or numbers, but if the AT recognises the file name as being readable words (e.g. by checking a dictionary), then why not use the file name as a last resort?
- # [01:40] <othermaciej> yeah, many filenames are bad, but not all - the best thing would be for AT to use heuristics to determine if the file name is human-understandable
- # [01:40] <Hixie> i could live with that
- # [01:42] <Lachy> Here the suggested text again with some changes: "User agents may also utilise any other available techniques or technologies to help the user obtain information about the image when the user is unable to make direct use of the image, ..."

- # [09:51] <JonathanNeal> It sucks when you need to hit a browser like you do a broken stereo, .style.opacity = 0; .style.opacity = 1; just to get the thing to show a change.
- # [09:51] * Joins: pablof (n=palbo@pat-tdc.opera.com)
- # [09:51] <JonathanNeal> I wish they could get a release cycle going like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera have been able to.
- # [09:52] <Dashiva> They're getting closer
- # [09:52] <Dashiva> The 7-8 cycle was much shorter than 6-7 :)
- # [09:52] <JonathanNeal> Good.
- # [09:52] <JonathanNeal> Yes, it was.
- # [09:53] <hsivonen> I guess the problem is the principle of supporting the browser they shipped bundled with a given Windows release for the support life time of that Windows release
- # [09:53] <JonathanNeal> But 6 to 7 was like the longest one of them all
- # [09:54] <Dashiva> Couldn't they just do some version number magic?
- # [09:54] <JonathanNeal> 97, 99, 2000, 01, 06.
- # [09:54] <hsivonen> I imagine supporting Iceweasel for the lifetime of a Debian system release is challege
- # [09:54] <Dashiva> Say that 9 is actually 8.1
- # [09:54] <Dashiva> And make 8.1 a mandatory upgrade from 8.0
- # [09:54] <JonathanNeal> Dashiva, I wish they would do stuff like that.
- # [09:55] <hsivonen> Dashiva: as I understand it, it's not about numbers but about not changing behavior unless a security or legal (see Eolas) problem can't be fixed without a behavior change
- # [09:55] <JonathanNeal> Then they could add some performance perks and bring some actual competition to the other browsers --- plus I wouldn't mind ie supporting some css3
- # [09:56] <Dashiva> Hum
- # [09:56] <hsivonen> JonathanNeal: and if a perk breaks the Boeing intranet?
- # [09:56] <Dashiva> In that case they'd need to cut down the OS release cycle to something like what Apple does I guess
- # [09:57] <hsivonen> to their credit, Microsoft (and Linux distros) communicate about OS release life cycles more clearly than Apple
- # [09:57] <JonathanNeal> hsivonen, no point if they'll lose the contract in 10 years to Firefox or Chrome, because they weren't making these advances.
- # [09:57] <hsivonen> I don't recall Apple ever communicating anything about OS life cycle
- # [09:57] <JonathanNeal> And 10 years is a grossly larger number than I imagine it could be.

- # [09:58] <hsivonen> Safari 4 security patches shipped for OS X 10.4
- # [09:58] <Hixie> hsivonen: they did once communicate their OS release cycle at a WWDC talk ahead of Snow Leopard
- # [09:58] <Hixie> thought that may have been accidentally
- # [09:58] <hsivonen> Hixie: oh. so when are they stopping security patch support for 10.4?
- # [09:58] <Hixie> as it was more in passing, in a talk about something else
- # [09:58] <hsivonen> what about 10.5?
- # [09:58] <Hixie> and had minimal details
- # [09:59] <Hixie> but it was something!
- # [09:59] <Dashiva> So I'm making this little online game, and I need a TCP port to use. But if I use one of the ports I'm supposed to use, some ISPs flag it as a torrent and start packet shaping
- # [09:59] <hsivonen> and 10.3 presumably no longer gets updates, but has Apple ever said so?
- # [10:00] <hsivonen> Hixie: so if I want to make security decisions about my dad's Luxo iMac running 10.4, which Apple talks do I need to listen through for tea leaves?

- # [10:02] <hsivonen> Hixie: about improving accessibility: if Google contributed open source OCR to Orca and NVDA today, and Apple cloned it for Voice Over tomorrow, people would freak out over authors not writing alt text for JAWS users

- # [10:21] <MikeSmith> we also need to scrap HTTP, and TCP

- # [10:22] <MikeSmith> the Web should have been based on Display PostScript

- # [10:23] <Hixie> is TCP that bad?
- # [10:23] <MikeSmith> SCTP is better
- # [10:23] <Hixie> I thought TCP was actually pretty reasonable, as a protocol
- # [10:23] <workmad3> MikeSmith: if it had been, I doubt it would have taken off in the same way
- # [10:23] <Hixie> a bit dated at this point, but the spec i thought was ok
- # [10:23] <MikeSmith> TCP is seriously pretty good but has significant limitations in high packet-loss networks
- # [10:23] <workmad3> MikeSmith: and clean slate is great from an academic and developer perspective, but the biggest driver (business) would resist it like the plague, for fairly good reasons
- # [10:24] <MikeSmith> like mobile-phone networks
- # [10:24] <workmad3> unless you keep it backwards compatible that is... and then you keep the mess around longer :)
- # [10:25] <MikeSmith> not that I know anything about TCP
- # [10:26] <workmad3> MikeSmith: you're pretty much spot on there :)
- # [10:27] <workmad3> TCP fails when a network that needs speed more than reliability, and performs atrociously over a low reliability network
- # [10:27] <MikeSmith> Hey, I got something right
- # [10:27] <MikeSmith> I think it's the first time this week
- # [10:27] * MikeSmith pats himself on the back
- # [10:28] * Philip` saw some people saying how TCP fails sometimes in data center networks because it has hundreds-of-milliseconds timeouts on packet loss even if the latency is far less than that
- # [10:28] <workmad3> but then, that's why networks that need speed implement their own reliability mechanisms (using a different model than TCP) on top of raw UDP packets :)
- # [10:29] <workmad3> e.g. game servers
- # [10:29] <Philip`> Games sometimes use UDP simply to get around NATs
- # [10:30] <workmad3> that said, TCP works, it works pretty well for what it does and is, and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon
- # [10:30] * workmad3 waits to be proven wrong
- # [10:32] <erlehmann> MikeSmith, in mobile phone networks with high packet loss, i often get packet duplicates, weird. is it that what you mean ?
- # [10:32] <workmad3> erlehmann: that's one of the problems
- # [10:32] <workmad3> that'll happen when your ACK packet gets lost or takes too long to get to the server :)
- # [10:32] <MikeSmith> I think most mobile phone networks basically don't use TCP over the air
- # [10:32] * Joins: svl (n=me@ip565744a7.direct-adsl.nl)
- # [10:33] <MikeSmith> they use WTCP or something
- # [10:33] <erlehmann> yeah, they use another transport layer and fake packet loss or something ?

- # [10:33] <Hixie> MikeSmith: i think there's a huge difference between specs needing improvement, and specs needing to be written from scratch because the specs themselves are inadequate (as in the case of HTML, DOM, etc).
- # [10:36] <MikeSmith> Hixie: true, and there's big difference between a technology that was fundamentally sound of the use cases it was intended for and specced out for at time, and one for which the spec was inadequate/ambiguous to the point where implementers ended up implementing it in non-interoperable ways

- # [11:45] <Lachy> ---
- # [11:45] <Lachy> When the user is unable to make direct use of the image, e.g. due to a visual disability or because they are using a text terminal with no graphics capabilities, user agents may also provide the user with the ability to obtain any other information about the image that may assist the user in understanding the content or purpose of the image, utilising any available repair technique.
- # [11:45] <Lachy> Such techniques may be based on information from any relevant source including, but not limited to, the following suggestions:
- # [11:45] <Lachy> * Obtaining the file name from the URL reference or HTTP headers supplied with the resource, such as the Content-Location or Content-Disposition header fields.
- # [11:45] <Lachy> * Extracting human readable metadata embedded within the resource. e.g. EXIF or RDF embedded within the resource.
- # [11:45] <Lachy> * Referring to alternative text associated with another instance of the same resource on the page,
- # [11:45] <Lachy> * Applying OCR techniques to recognise and extract textual content that is graphically represented on the image.
- # [11:45] <Lachy> For more information, refer to the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines techniques for repairing missing content ([UAAG10-TECHS], section 2.7).
- # [11:45] <Lachy> ---
- # [11:46] <othermaciej> Lachy: post it to the list I guess and see if people like it
- # [11:46] <Lachy> ok. What do you think of it?

- # [12:24] <jgraham> hsivonen: Some EXIF has human readable data

- # [12:25] <zcorpan__> alt -- as found on the web -- is typically not a replacement for an image in context

- # [12:25] <hsivonen> jgraham: I don't have numbers, but I'd expect human-readable data that isn't either the photographer name or keywords derived from coordinates using geonames to be exceedingly rare
- # [12:26] <hsivonen> jgraham: does any EXIF spec formalize the <a href> stuff seen there?
- # [12:26] <jgraham> hsivonen: I think that typical photo editing software allows you to add a description to the exif
- # [12:26] <zcorpan__> hmm, <input type=image> coordinates either changed in implementations since last i tested or my testing was bogus last time
- # [12:27] <hsivonen> also, that data seems something that anyone who'd write it in the first place would want to present as part of the HTML page to all readers
- # [12:27] <jgraham> hsivonen: I doubt it; that is for flickr's benefit
- # [12:27] <jgraham> hsivonen: It is, in this case
- # [12:27] <hsivonen> as it is presented on http://www.flickr.com/photos/carpeicthus/4291505464 for all users
- # [12:27] <jgraham> But if the photo were reused in another context it might not be
- # [12:28] <hsivonen> jgraham: so does anyone do it for purposes other than making Flickr extract it and show it as part of the photo page as HTML to all users?
- # [12:28] <jgraham> Of course it wouldn't tell you much about the photo apart from "it has a female model", "it was taken in nashville" and :it has complex lighting"
- # [12:28] <hsivonen> jgraham: I know that the sole reason I bother with scripts that generate human-readable strings into EXIF is that Flickr extracts those on the photo page
- # [12:28] <jgraham> hsivonen: No idea
- # [12:29] <jgraham> I guess people only do things when they get an immediate benefit from it so perhaps not
- # [12:30] <jgraham> Maybe if the photo tags were embedded in the EXIF that would be more helpful than the description
- # [12:31] <jgraham> Since people might add tags for their personal use (helping them manage their photo collection) and the information would typically also be helpful in understanding the image

- # [12:37] <jgraham> Obviously the ability to log and inspect what is going on
- # [12:38] <hsivonen> Lachy: it seems like a bad idea to introduce an RDF dependency to the browser platform just in case once in a blue moon an image has human-readable text in RDF
- # [12:38] <hsivonen> Lachy: frankly, talking about RDF there looks like wishful metadata handwaving

- # [12:48] <Lachy> jgraham, hsivonen, I don't think anyone expects any embedded human readable metadata to provide ideal replacement text in context, but that's not the point of it. The point is to give more information about the user that may help the user infer some meaning based on the context.
