# [00:00] <Hixie> heycam: yeah, there's a lot of traffic.

# [00:01] <Hixie> i can also just make it smallcaps
# [00:01] <annevk> I will look into caching plugins tomorrow for when we make the next announcement o_O
# [00:01] <annevk> I did not quite anticipate this
# [00:01] <Hixie> hehe
# [00:01] <jacobolus> (also note, I'm not really an expert typographer by any stretch of the imagination)
# [00:02] <benschwarz> jacobolus: capital lines should always be letterspaced
# [00:02] * Hixie restarts the server with a few more simultaneous connections allowed
# [00:02] <benschwarz> but they should be avoided where possible
# [00:03] <jacobolus> benschwarz: yeah, but what about the word WebVVT
# [00:03] <jacobolus> er, WebVTT
# [00:03] <benschwarz> jacobolus: is it a title?
# [00:03] <Hixie> how about http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/webvtt.html ?
# [00:03] * _bga is now known as bga_|away
# [00:03] <Hixie> (now smallcaps)

# [00:04] <Hixie> http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/ is small caps too now
# [00:04] <benschwarz> sever is getting too smashed, I think
# [00:04] * Quits: chriseppstein (~chris@209.119.65.162) (Quit: chriseppstein)
# [00:05] <Hixie> yeah it's a bit slow to load these giant specs
# [00:05] <Hixie> gotta say, though, the server is handling this way better than last time we got a lot of traffic
# [00:05] <Hixie> and given that it's basically free... can't complain
# [00:06] * Joins: chriseppstein (~chris@209.119.65.162)
# [00:06] <Hixie> is it me or is the h2 on http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ a different font or something than the h2 on http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete/ ???
# [00:06] <Hixie> it's the same style sheet...
# [00:06] <Hixie> different top margin, too
# [00:06] <Hixie> wtf
# [00:06] <jacobolus> Hixie: those are loading slow enough that I can't tell you if they're different :)
# [00:07] * bga_|away is now known as bga_

# [00:07] <TabAtkins> I don't see different top margins either. Clear your cache?
# [00:08] <benschwarz> jacobolus: hmm, I'd keep it regular case. The kerning on the We is way off though
# [00:08] <jacobolus> Hixie: I'm not a big fan of the mix of big and small caps there
# [00:08] * Quits: webr3 (~nathan@host86-140-58-69.range86-140.btcentralplus.com) (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
# [00:09] <jacobolus> benschwarz, Hixie: maybe add the "render this with kerning" CSS for h1s and h2s?
# [00:09] <jacobolus> then the We won't get so much space
# [00:09] <benschwarz> jacobolus: yeah, thats what I stuck into my inspector :)
# [00:09] * Quits: boaz (~boaz@64.119.153.2) (Quit: boaz)
# [00:10] <jacobolus> what's the special css for that?

# [00:10] <jacobolus> I think firefox does kerning properly regardless these days, no?
# [00:10] <benschwarz> jacobolus: it always has
# [00:10] <jacobolus> well, always since FF3 or something
# [00:10] <roc> yeah, since FF3
# [00:11] <jacobolus> and safari takes the explicit css flag?
# [00:11] <Hixie> what's the magic css to make the browsers slower again?
# [00:11] <benschwarz> jacobolus: yes
# [00:11] <TabAtkins> use ~ combinators?
# [00:11] <roc> text-rendering:optimizeLegibility
# [00:11] <Hixie> thanks
# [00:11] <roc> actually I'm wrong
# [00:11] <benschwarz> Hixie: see the skitch :)
# [00:11] <Hixie> yeah i saw it after asking :-)
# [00:11] <roc> In FF3 we did not do kerning on Windows and X below certain font sizes (20px)
# [00:12] <TabAtkins> Add a "* ~ * * ~ * * ~ * {}" block to your document.
# [00:12] <benschwarz> FF3 came out forever ago, seemingly
# [00:12] <roc> in FF4 we do kerning always
# [00:12] <TabAtkins> Additional benefit - you look like a 13-year old on myspace.
# [00:12] <roc> assuming the font's got it, etc etc
# [00:12] <Hixie> jgraham: pimpmyspec is giving me 500s... maybe because it can't get the source file from whatwg?
# [00:13] <jgraham> Hixie: That would have that effect
# [00:13] <Hixie> k
# [00:13] <Hixie> can you increase the timeout or something? that might solve the problem with when it's the w3c site, too
# [00:14] <frenzz> http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leujsqUBpU1qdswit.jpg
# [00:14] <Hixie> (which is usually the problem when there's a 500 fromm pms)

# [00:15] <bga_> or owl
# [00:15] <jacobolus> Hixie: anyway, feel free to refer any questions about the typography of headings to benschwarz; the main thing is just letterspacing on "HTML", dunno about "WebTTV" (maybe the TTV part, if you want to add a span), and no extra letterspacing on "Web Applications"
# [00:16] <jgraham> Hixie: Maybe but I really should sleep now and I am not quite sure how to do it

# [00:16] <benschwarz> if multi-page is living standard
# [00:16] <benschwarz> I wonder what developers. should be
# [00:16] <Hixie> jacobolus: well they're all small-caps now so they can all have litter-spacing :-)
# [00:17] <heycam> litter-spacing is where the space between two characters is set to the width of a piece of kitty litter
# [00:17] <Hixie> benschwarz: is "Edition for Web Developers" no good?
# [00:17] <heycam> that, or how much space to put between your kittens
# [00:17] <benschwarz> Hixie: well, now you've upped the ante :D
# [00:17] <Hixie> benschwarz: heh
# [00:17] <Hixie> benschwarz: it's said "living standard" for a while now
# [00:18] <heycam> "living standard" makes me think of "living will"
# [00:18] <Hixie> i guess we should get a new right-hand-side banner
# [00:18] <benschwarz> there is something so bad about this
# [00:18] <benschwarz> http://html5.uncontrol.com/
# [00:18] <Hixie> or drop it altogether
# [00:18] <heycam> I promise to turn life support to HTML5 off if it becomes a vegetable
# [00:18] <benschwarz> Hixie: drop it ;)
# [00:19] <Hixie> er, left-hand-side banner
# [00:20] <benschwarz> or there are many things bad about that, I should say
# [00:20] <Hixie> i love how "optimiseLegibility" is written as camelcase in CSS
# [00:20] <Hixie> it's a bit like spelling "spelling" as "spellng"
# [00:21] <roc> yeah they stuffed that up
# [00:21] <Hixie> still getting hits to /specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/mfavicon.ico btw
# [00:22] <roc> we should add optimize-legibility etc as synonyms
# [00:22] <Hixie> eh, aliases just mean more bugs with no new features
# [00:22] * Quits: paul_irish (~paul_iris@nat/google/x-sbpuqxlkhahwqjyf) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

# [00:23] <jacobolus> jgraham: if you're really having trouble you could try horse tranquilizers
# [00:23] <Hixie> oh my lord, without the thing on the left the spec feels so naked!
# [00:23] <Hixie> that's gonna take some getting used to
# [00:24] <TabAtkins> I know!
# [00:24] <TabAtkins> Just add a green stripe.
# [00:24] <Hixie> i think it's kinda nice
# [00:24] <Hixie> looks clean

# [00:30] <Hixie> well except for the dom trees unless you've fixed those ;-)
# [00:30] <benschwarz> Hixie: once developers. is ready, we can look at other editions
# [00:30] <benschwarz> Hixie: no, I've been consulting :)
# [00:31] <Hixie> blog comments seem positive so far
# [00:31] <benschwarz> but today I have ab+c time. some whatwg is on my mind

# [00:32] <Hixie> yeah

# [00:33] <annevk> Hixie, yeah, before we had some ugly icon so I changed it to make it unique for each of them
# [00:33] <annevk> it's a setting
# [00:34] <Hixie> fun
# [00:34] <Hixie> wow, from the twitters it looks like this change might even cause people to stop focusing on 2022 ;-)
# [00:35] <Hixie> lol, svn.whatwg.org just timed out on me while trying to commit
# [00:35] <Hixie> that could make life fun
# [00:35] <annevk> it only makes sense, now we are always ready
# [00:35] <annevk> and always not
# [00:35] <Hixie> it's amusing how much an announcement can change
# [00:35] <Hixie> i mean, we really didn't change anything today
# [00:36] <Hixie> other than make it impossible for me to edit the sec :-P

# [00:36] <benschwarz> Hixie: time to sit back and count our money
# [00:37] <annevk> I think it means we should share our philosophy more
# [00:37] <Hixie> annevk: ok you shouldn't be getting notified anymore if "source" doesn't change. It'll still send you a notification occasionally, e.g. later today when I have to do a forced-submit to make sure everything got updated properly
# [00:37] <Hixie> but not in general
# [00:37] <Hixie> and forced submits will always be editoriol

# [00:37] <Hixie> really!
# [00:37] <Hixie> wow
# [00:38] <Hixie> twitter users are masochists
# [00:38] <benschwarz> whats the favicon story?
# [00:38] <annevk> what we just announced was an editorial change
# [00:38] <annevk> people love the trivia
# [00:38] <Hixie> i guess
# [00:38] <Hixie> benschwarz: dhtml5.org had some bug that was causing whatwg.org to get hits for favicons in weird places
# [00:38] <Hixie> it was fixed but i'm still getting hits
# [00:38] <annevk> the hardcore algorithms are not conversation material
# [00:39] * Quits: karlcow (~karl@nerval.la-grange.net) (Remote host closed the connection)
# [00:39] <Hixie> annevk: you might want to just filter out the commits with message "typo" and "xref" then
# [00:39] * Quits: LuigiMontanez (~Adium@enki.sunlightfoundation.com) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
# [00:39] <Hixie> i wonder if someone has it open with an old copy of the page or something
# [00:39] <annevk> Hixie, yeah, that might make sense
# [00:40] <jacobolus> Hixie: I'll leave it to you, but I've never been a fan of small caps mixed with big caps, especially since browsers use the same glyphs for each, but with different scaling, so that the small caps end up looking really wimpy.
# [00:40] <Hixie> annevk: multiple IPs though
# [00:40] <Hixie> jacobolus: i'm gonna leave it for a while, see if it grows on me or not. I'll probably end up changing it back though.
# [00:41] <jacobolus> I like the big HTML though :)
# [00:41] <Hixie> yeah that's gonna stay
# [00:41] <benschwarz> jacobolus: ps. I think your comments are really very poignant re: developers.
# [00:41] <Hixie> i have a class on that h1 so that i can make it stay even if i change the default back :-)
# [00:41] <jacobolus> benschwarz: hrm?
# [00:41] <benschwarz> if you're interested in forking, working out how on earth to build it
# [00:42] <benschwarz> I'd be interested in seeing patches ;)
# [00:42] <Hixie> looks like it's three people who have dhtml5.org open
# [00:42] <Hixie> on an old page
# [00:42] <jacobolus> benschwarz: not quite sure what you're referring to?
# [00:42] <benschwarz> jacobolus: the developer spec
# [00:42] <jacobolus> did I say something about it? other than nice job, it's pretty?
# [00:42] <annevk> Hixie, I meant the filtering of messages that just say "typo" or "xref"
# [00:43] <benschwarz> jacobolus: are you not jrus?
# [00:43] <jacobolus> benschwarz: or the "nice job, it's pretty" was poignant?
# [00:43] <annevk> so the older copy of dhtml5.org changed the favicon on the fly?
# [00:43] <annevk> hilarious
# [00:43] <jacobolus> benschwarz: ah, that's me. okay, gotcha now
# [00:43] <jacobolus> you're welcome
# [00:43] <adactio> Just for the record, I think the "Living Standard" strapline is kind of cheesy. I'd much rather a plain old "HTML."
# [00:44] <benschwarz> my my, its adactio
# [00:44] <Hixie> annevk: ah
# [00:44] <jacobolus> benschwarz: I try my best to be poignant whenever possible
# [00:45] <annevk> adactio, so basically not bother with labeling the document?
# [00:45] <Hixie> adactio: well we need the date, and the date on its own looks silly. having it say "standard" also puts an end to endless discussions about whether it's a draft and whether you can refer to it, etc.
# [00:45] <adactio> annevk: Label it with "HTML"
# [00:45] <Hixie> i like how google hasn't indexed the new title yet so if you do a "latest" search for "html" it says the top link is the spec but has the old title :-)
# [00:46] <jacobolus> benschwarz: if you want to shrink a completely-separate-from-the-text code sample, that's probably fine
# [00:46] <annevk> Hixie, it still says "Working Draft" on the side btw
# [00:46] <adactio> Hixie: I don't think the date on its own looks silly.
# [00:46] <jacobolus> benschwarz: it's just the in-line ones that are distractingly small
# [00:46] <benschwarz> Hixie: fyi. I removed the date entirely from developers.whatwg.org…
# [00:46] <annevk> Hixie, I think we could nuke the sidebar and maybe reduce the margin somewhat?
# [00:46] <TabAtkins> Do the date on its own!
# [00:46] <annevk> Hixie, the graphical sidebar that is
# [00:47] <annevk> TabAtkins, adactio, I think Hixie has a point in that people will ask about it, but I suppose we could have a FAQ entry
# [00:47] <annevk> there is no real reason to have that label
# [00:47] * bga_ is now known as bga_|away
# [00:47] * Quits: Moo-_- (~quassel@herd37.twinapex.fi) (Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.)
# [00:48] <annevk> the only reason we have it is because other standard organizations use such labels

# [00:48] <adactio> annevk: Yes, I think it's a job for the FAQ rather than the spec.

# [00:49] <annevk> o_O
# [00:50] <Hixie> you have to hard-refresh to get style sheet updates
# [00:50] <adactio> Hixie: Okay. An interim measure it is, then.

# [04:37] <Serenalis> There's already a great deal of confusion in the media and even among erudite web developers about what constitutes HTML5, and on that basis I agree with WHATWG's decision.
# [04:38] <Hixie> cool
# [04:38] <Serenalis> What concerns me is that just as web standards have finally reached a level of universal appeal and compliance, the two bodies that define them have gone in diametrically opposite directions with terminology (and to some extent, standards defining methodology).
# [04:39] <Hixie> to be fair, the w3c hasn't changed direction
# [04:39] <Hixie> and the whatwg changed direction last year (actually in late 2009), we just didn't change the name until today
# [04:39] <Serenalis> Yes, true.
# [04:40] <Hixie> in practice i don't think the directions are really incompatible -- we're still working together on the specs for example
# [04:40] <wirepair> is there a page/blog/place one can get a definitive answer to all this inconsistency? wouldn't that help clear some things up?

# [05:14] <Serenalis> Hixie, with HTML as a living standard, is the intent that the spec will drive implementations or that implementations will shape the spec?
# [05:14] <Hixie> both
# [05:14] <Hixie> in practice it's always been both for successful specs

# [05:18] <Serenalis> Hixie: I agree. One of the biggest criticisms of W3C specs historically has been that they have been disconnected with reality. This Living Standard approach could fix that. Do you think there's a chance W3C will follow suit?

# [05:28] <jacobolus> Serenalis: people who are concerned about writing compliant code are going to write code based on what is implemented in browsers, hopefully; making that be the same as the spec is (so far as I can tell) priority #1 for at least the WHATWG version

# [11:46] <jgraham> There is probably a strong correlation between the number of attempted proofs of a problem and its fame.

# [13:09] <annevk> I made some more changes to the FAQ
# [13:13] <hsivonen> hmm. writing a sanitizer becomes really complicated if you want to decide whether the token becomes an HTML, MathML or SVG element before deciding whether to drop it
# [13:14] <hsivonen> maybe it's just not worth it...

# [13:17] <jgraham> hsivonen: What is the difficulty?
# [13:18] <jgraham> (I'm not saying there isn't one, just wondering what, specifcally, you find hard)
# [13:19] <hsivonen> jgraham: if you drop an element after the tree builder algorithm has run, you need a marker on the stack so that you know to drop the matching end tags but not to drop end tags whose element didn't get dropped
# [13:20] <hsivonen> so then you have this sparse stack where some stack nodes are "not really" markers that you can't append children to but that participate in the tree builder algorithm otherwise
# [13:20] <hsivonen> it looks to me that those "not really" or "can't use this node as a parent" markers will suck for the AAA and such
# [13:21] <annevk> so you want to sanitize during parsing rather than serializing?
# [13:22] <hsivonen> jgraham: otoh, if you always drop all start and end tag tokens for a given tag name, you don't need to keep track of stuff to match end tags with the start tags
# [13:22] <hsivonen> annevk: yes
# [13:22] <hsivonen> annevk: and only from the security POV--not from the correctness POV

# [13:25] <jgraham> hsivonen: Is it too much work to probe what namespace a tag will become by inspecting the current state of the treebuilder and knowing what the entry/exit points from foreignContent are?
# [13:27] <david_carlisle> hsivonen: is there an existing element name for which you do want to take a different decision, depending on html/mathml/svg, or is this future proofing?
# [13:28] <jgraham> hsivonen: (the big problem I see with speculatively inserting elements and rolling back if they end up in an undesired namespace is around AAA and so)
# [13:29] <jgraham> (I think that would mean you had to snapshot the entire tree rather than just marking the inserted elements)
# [13:29] <hsivonen> david_carlisle: I can't think of one from the security POV
# [13:30] <hsivonen> david_carlisle: so perhaps I shouldn't even try to have distinct white lists
# [13:30] <hsivonen> jgraham: that approach would probably make sense if distinct white lists were actually necessary
# [13:32] <annevk> hmm comments are getting somewhat off-topic
# [13:32] <annevk> oh well
# [13:32] <hsivonen> anyway, I threw away my complicated code and will try again
# [13:32] <hsivonen> this time dropping tokens before the tree builder runs
# [13:36] <jgraham> hsivonen: Presumably the reason would be that future standards bodies might be idiotic enough to invent tag names that are safe in one namespace but not another. Or we might grandfather in a language where, say, <div> means "run this script"

# [15:42] <jacobolus> I notice that most (all?) of the little annotations in the margin of the HTML5^H spec say that there are 0 tests and 0 demos for a feature, and nothing written about "implementation status"; is there actually some place where such tests/demos would reside, linked from the spec? aren't there plenty of parts that *do* have tests one place or another around the web?
# [15:43] <Philip`> The tests/demos can be anywhere - someone just needs to update the spec to point to them all
# [15:43] <jacobolus> is there any good coordinated place showing what has tests, what needs tests, etc.?
# [15:44] <Philip`> No
# [15:44] <Philip`> http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Testsuite has links to various things
# [15:44] <jacobolus> it seems like this is a task that could be pretty easily distributed: "write 1-2 test about one of these features"; would be more productive as a discussion than flameouts about nomenclature and so forth
# [15:45] <jacobolus> then again, maybe no one would be interested in writing a test or two
# [15:45] <Philip`> It'd probably be good to coordinate work in the HTML WG testing group rather than having everything as ad hoc as it has been
# [15:45] <Lachy> jacobolus, there are a few that do have some tests written and linked from those annotations.
# [15:46] <jacobolus> I guess there's also the big problem that someone (not volunteering, for sure) would have to do the organizing/coordination
# [15:46] <Lachy> from memory, the video element has a couple.
# [15:46] <Philip`> (There's some (slow) progress in that direction currently)
# [15:46] * Joins: illtron (~killbot@mysql.ceres.aaas.org)
# [15:47] <Philip`> jacobolus: A person writing 1-2 tests wouldn't really be scalable to what the spec requires, since it'll need tens of thousands of tests
# [15:48] <jgraham> jacobolus: The HTML TEts TF already exists. The main problems are a) getting people to write tests and b) getting the right metadata to link the TCs to the right parts of the spec
# [15:49] <jacobolus> fair enough
# [15:49] <jacobolus> Philip`: fair enough
# [15:49] <Philip`> and the overhead of teaching people how to write good test cases and reviewing them and maintaining them etc means you really need someone to take responsibility for developing a coherent set of tests for a whole section of the spec, I think
# [15:49] <Philip`> else it'll be unmanageable
# [15:49] <jgraham> jacobolus: The only well tested part of the spec is <canvas> where a) was solved by Philip` writing all the tests and B0 was solved by Philip` writing a system for annotating the spec
# [15:49] <jacobolus> i.e. someone needs to make it their full-time job

# [15:50] <jgraham> jacobolus: There are surprising;y few places you can get paid to spend all your time writing spec tests
# [15:50] <jgraham> In fact I don't know of any
# [15:50] <jacobolus> that doesn't seem surprising
# [15:50] <annevk> I'm pretty sure such a position is obtainable
# [15:50] <Philip`> jacobolus: Yeah, that seems like the most efficient way to get the work done, but I suppose that doesn't help much if nobody is in a position to do that :-(
# [15:51] <jgraham> It does mean that as a strategy starting with "1) assume we will get a full time coordinator" is a losing proposition
# [15:51] <annevk> e.g. with Mozilla or Google
# [15:51] <jacobolus> seems like it'd take a substantial amount of work to even try to consolidate the tests which exist and link them to relevant spec sections
# [15:51] <jgraham> annevk: Maybe, but the evidence is that neither Mozilla nor Google *actually* employ anyone to do that
# [15:52] * Joins: shiawuen (~chatzilla@cm68.eta56.maxonline.com.sg)
# [15:52] <annevk> yes, because nobody is interested in it
# [15:52] <jgraham> In fact neither are particularly active at all in writing tests for HTML
# [15:52] <jacobolus> but the result is that it's sort of impossible to figure out what parts are tested and what parts aren't
# [15:52] <Philip`> It sounds like browser testing people spend most of their time debugging browser-specific bugs and writing browser-specific tests, instead of standards tests
# [15:52] <jacobolus> right
# [15:53] <Philip`> Is that unavoidable?
# [15:53] <jacobolus> it does seem like a wasted duplication of effort, no?
# [15:53] <annevk> no, but it requires some amount of investment
# [15:53] <annevk> into a framework that can be shared, that people are willing to use
# [15:53] <jgraham> We do write quite a lot of standards tests
# [15:53] <annevk> and that shows some reasonable return of investment
# [15:54] <jgraham> But there is inevitably also a component of doing browser-specific work
# [15:54] * Joins: htmlr (~htmlr@124-168-128-37.dyn.iinet.net.au)
# [15:54] <jgraham> And that turns out to be a rather large component
# [15:54] <annevk> I have written tests, but there's hardly any contribution from elsewhere
# [15:54] <annevk> e.g. for XMLHttpRequest
# [15:54] <annevk> maybe the bar to entry is too high, but I have not even been contacted
# [15:54] <jgraham> Since the job description is not "write tests" but "help us ship a good browser"
# [15:55] <annevk> and while other browsers might start using the tests, they are hesitant (to say the least) to convert their own
# [15:56] <annevk> tl:dr standardizing test infrastructure is tough
# [15:56] <annevk> and sharing tests is too
# [15:58] <jgraham> Sharing tests is generally not that bad if the recievee is prepared to do all the integration work
# [15:58] <Ms2ger> jgraham, Mozilla does write a lot of HTML tests, we just don't submit them ;)

# [16:53] <annevk> I thought it wasn't
# [16:53] <othermaciej> but then, so is src
# [16:53] <annevk> src is excluded already as it contains a URL
# [16:53] <othermaciej> any attribute that takes a URL and happens to contain a javascript: URL is probably dangerous
# [16:53] <hsivonen> annevk: huh. I thought the whole point of involving an iframe was to put srcdoc into a different origin
# [16:53] <hsivonen> othermaciej: what's the attack?
# [16:54] <annevk> hsivonen, I think that is only true for <iframe srcdoc=test sandbox>
# [16:54] <othermaciej> srcdoc can be in a unique origin if you sandbox the iframe

# [18:39] <paul_irish> annevk: is that distinction important?
# [18:39] <TabAtkins> annevk: Dunno what the disction is, as parts of CSS2.1 are obsoleted by CSS3 modules.
# [18:39] * Joins: inkbase (~Inkbase@S0106002312f9bea2.vc.shawcable.net)
# [18:39] <TabAtkins> And the plan is to eventually obsolete the whole thing.

# [18:42] <Ms2ger> Will probably happen before 2.1 is a rec
# [18:42] <jgraham> Versions somewhat implies "incompatible". I think the idea with levels is that you can only level-up i.e. get new features that you didn't have before
# [18:42] <jgraham> Or at least implies "mechanism of marking which version you are using"
# [18:42] <TabAtkins> I don't know if that's the meaning everyone would draw from the terms, but sure, barring minor inconsistencies, that's true.
# [18:42] <annevk> the idea is that with levels the difference is only the feature set
# [18:42] <Ms2ger> CSS needs doctypes
# [18:42] <annevk> not the functionality of the features
# [18:43] <annevk> i.e. once #fff is introduced it will mean white from that point on and nothing else
# [18:43] <annevk> no future level can change that
# [18:43] <annevk> but it does not matter too much either way
# [18:43] <TabAtkins> Unless we determine it was a really bad idea and no browser does it.
# [18:43] <annevk> then it would not end up in a REC anyway
# [18:44] <annevk> the "process" deals with that already
# [18:44] <TabAtkins> But yeah, whatever. CSS is level-less, except for the 2.1/everything after distinction. Individual modules are still levelled. Same diff.

# [18:58] <annevk> I am sort of fine with getting rid of them, though reportedly they were not that hard to implement and Hixie thinks they make authoring quite a bit easier
# [18:58] <annevk> if you do not want to rely on libraries
# [18:58] <annevk> but maybe that is mostly about formchange and forminput
# [18:59] <annevk> events

# [19:00] <annevk> volkmar_, you could look for a resolved bug in the W3C database
# [19:00] <annevk> volkmar_, someone asked for removal and Hixie declined
# [19:01] <annevk> no idea which number and I really have to run
# [19:01] <volkmar_> annevk: someone ask for removal for forminput and formchange
# [19:01] <volkmar_> annevk: i will check if that was the case for dispatch*
# [19:01] <volkmar_> thanks ;)
# [19:02] <Hixie> mostly the use case for dispatch* is to make it easier to just write the logic once in an event handler and make sure it triggers in all the various cases it could trigger
# [19:02] <Hixie> but certainly the use cases for dispatch* are less than the use cases for the events themselves

# [23:25] <annevk> but the negative comments are not really well informed (the positive comments might not be either though)
# [23:25] <jgraham> I wonder if that guy realises that we have only been able to add to HTML, not redefine it, since 1992
# [23:25] <annevk> I guess when a post gets sufficiently popular, the feedback you get is "garbage"
# [23:26] <annevk> yeah indeed, there's a lot of stuff like that

# [23:29] <foolip_> lol, "like comparing a needle to a haystack"

# [23:38] <annevk> we lost that battle long ago I think
# [23:39] <annevk> of course amid all the conspiracy theories on Google and the WHATWG nobody mentioned that
# [23:39] <ment> just for clarification - html 5 is neither 5 nor standard anymore?
# [23:39] <annevk> HTML is a standard

# [23:40] <annevk> HTML5 is the buzzword for "Web Platform"
# [23:40] <annevk> (basically since the W3C logo announcement, though the W3C HTML WG might still publish drafts called HTML5 I guess)
# [23:40] <jgraham> Seriosuly, the ratio of knee-jerk to insight in that slashdot thread caused a divide-by-zero error
# [23:41] <ment> annevk: well i can conform to html 4.01, but not to "html"
# [23:41] <annevk> ment, why not?
# [23:42] <annevk> ment, conformance to CSS changes over time, conformance to HTML can too
# [23:42] <ment> annevk: because i have no idea how to decide whether i'm conforming or not
# [23:42] <annevk> ment, you use the latest version of the specification
# [23:43] <annevk> It's funny that CSS pioneered all of this but with HTML it is controversial and stupid
# [23:43] <ment> annevk: that's just tortoise/achilles problem
# [23:43] <annevk> well, to some people :)
# [23:43] <ment> afaik css is releasing specs bit by bit
# [23:43] <jcranmer> I like all of the idiots who complain that "this makes browser comparison difficult, since you can't just say "HTML5: yes"'
# [23:43] * Joins: lowbatteries (~Adium@76.178.162.64)
# [23:43] <jcranmer> and the last time that such a distinction was doable was... never, I believe
# [23:44] <annevk> jcranmer, I wonder how long they thought about such a comment
# [23:44] <Hixie> if anyone sees any recurring themes in the slashdot comments, please add them as sections to the faq and i'll go in and answer them later (or anyone else can go in and answer them, whatever)
# [23:44] <jcranmer> that's why WP breaks support down by CSS property or HTML tag/attribute
# [23:44] <ment> jcranmer: yes it makes conformance difficult. i had these problems when i was writing html5 parser/tokenizer according to draft
# [23:44] <ment> jcranmer: which had very different tokenizer two months later
# [23:45] <ment> jcranmer: so i had just to throw most of the tokenizer away and start over again

# [23:45] <jcranmer> IMHO, speccing how to precisely handle tag soup is a bit over the top
# [23:45] <jcranmer> although I do come from a compiler mindset
# [23:45] <annevk> ment, so the difference could have been that you implemented HTML5 which would have been in the same state as HTML4 (pretty crappy) and there would be another draft called HTML6 which had the fixes
# [23:45] <jcranmer> where errors are "OMFG, you fail"
# [23:46] * Quits: matjas (~matjas@91.182.211.157) (Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.)
# [23:46] <annevk> ment, languages evolve and especially when the legacy constraints are not fully understood (a clear indication of that is when browsers are not shipping conforming implementations) this may cause further changes

# [23:46] <jgraham> Hixie: The main recurring theme in the slashdot comments was that your employer is evil and you, personally, are a retard

# [23:47] <realityking> Doesn't the trouble when validating starts when stuff gets moved to deprecated or "obsolete but conforming" how it is now called?
# [23:48] <ment> annevk: yeah, but now i can't just say to somebody with broken page - fuck off, fix your page to conform to html123. and if i say it, he will start babling about how languages are evolving all the time
# [23:48] <realityking> CSSWG has made a decision to never remove from the language (whether that is good or not is debatable) I haven't heard something like that for HTML
# [23:49] <annevk> ment, right
# [23:49] <espadrine> I don't understand why people link this move to Google Chrome.
# [23:49] <jamesr_> it doesn't matter whether CSSWG or HTMLWG or WHATWG decides never to remove from the language or not
# [23:49] <annevk> ment, you can say "fuck off" the moment there are two interoperable implementation that also break his page
# [23:49] <jamesr_> no implementation can ever remove a popular feature from their implementation of CSS or HTML or whatever
# [23:49] <annevk> ment, that is why we have the stability indicator
# [23:49] <jamesr_> no matter what any specification says
# [23:50] <gsnedders> espadrine: Because Hixie works for Google.
# [23:50] <Hixie> jgraham: well i can't comment for my employer... :-P
# [23:50] <annevk> espadrine, I think you can compare them. Chrome has a version number internally. HTML has a SVN revision number internally :)
# [23:50] <realityking> jamesr_: I believe theres is a difference for document and processor conformance
# [23:50] <annevk> espadrine, but for "marketing" they are Chrome and HTML
# [23:50] <foolip_> several people seem to be unhappy that it's hard to know who supports what
# [23:51] <jgraham> That could be an FAQ
# [23:51] <ment> annevk: you have to understand there are more html parsers than those implemented in three major web browsers
# [23:51] <gsnedders> It already is when everyone implements drafts
# [23:51] <annevk> we have a poitner to caniuse.com in the FAQ
# [23:51] <jamesr_> realityking: is it a difference that anybody in the real world cares about?
# [23:51] <annevk> maybe html5test.com should be there too
# [23:51] <realityking> in the future we might find that the video element is a bad idea and invent something better, how would you reflect that it isn't state of the art anymore?
# [23:51] <jcranmer> "One inch has an exactly defined length, since long ago. Next big thing is a living standard for measuring. Ridiculous."
# [23:51] <foolip_> I'll add the question, not the answer
# [23:51] <jgraham> "Q) How do I know who supports what? A) Look at the results of the testsuite"
# [23:51] <jamesr_> realityking: you would still have to specify the behavior of <video> so that implementations could be interoperable
# [23:51] <jcranmer> well, the cm was redefined 4 or 5 times in the 1900s
# [23:51] <annevk> ment, I do, I implemented one myself
# [23:51] <jamesr_> assuming that <video> remains popular enough to not drop it
# [23:52] <ment> annevk: and i don't have twenty monkeys surfing the web watching for latest html broken element trends
# [23:52] <annevk> ment, for better or worse though until browsers have shipped implementations the draft cannot be considered stable
# [23:52] <realityking> jamesr_: yes, that why I talked about document conformance
# [23:52] <ment> annevk: so i will end up trying that in three different browsers figuring out how do _they_ parse it
# [23:52] <annevk> ment, if we marked it stable without that it would be just like HTML4
# [23:53] <realityking> I think for documents a versioned approach is desireable
# [23:53] <jamesr_> realityking: nobody cares about document conformance
# [23:53] <ment> annevk: yeah, but with dropping version numbers, you said that you are gonna be draft forever
# [23:53] <annevk> ment, things might change, but most things will be fairly stable
# [23:53] <jgraham> realityking: You know, nothing rally has changed here. You might have a HTML3.2 document that is not state of the art anymore. How does it help to say 'this is valid HTML3.2'?"
# [23:53] <annevk> ment, this is no different from CSS Modules amending CSS 2.1 though
# [23:53] <ment> annevk: sure
# [23:53] <realityking> jamesr_: so you're saying it doesn't matter what I write in my HTML docs (inventing new elements, attributes and so on)?
# [23:54] <annevk> ment, change will always happen
# [23:54] <annevk> when change stops, something better will have come along
# [23:54] <espadrine> realityking: as long as implementors ship with improvements, there is something to add to the html spec.
# [23:54] <jamesr_> realityking: you aren't listening
# [23:54] <jgraham> realityking: I believe that's called the fallacy of the excluded middle or something
# [23:55] <realityking> espadrine: I'm not proposing not to add to the specs, just that there should be milestones or something
# [23:55] <foolip_> hmm, the structure of the FAQ is a bit messy after todays edits
# [23:55] <realityking> jgraham: sorry not a native speaker
# [23:55] <realityking> I have no clue what your last sentence is supposed to mean
# [23:56] <ment> annevk: i'm not against change, but the progress of html/css/js could be described as perpetual retardation
# [23:56] <realityking> of course no HTML3.2 document is state of the art anymore
# [23:56] <jamesr_> no fixed version of any HTML specification will ever be state of the art
# [23:56] <foolip_> I seriously doubt "If you do not publish snapshots every now and again, you are Orwellian in your recognition of the role the mistakes of the past play into the present and the future." is a *frequently* asked question :)
# [23:56] * annevk looks up that term
# [23:56] <jgraham> The fallacy of the excluded middle is when you say "since I can't do X you are saying I have to do the opposite of X", ignoring all the possibilities between X and its opposite
# [23:56] <realityking> ah thanks
# [23:57] <jgraham> foolip_: Well it's not even a question, so no
# [23:57] <realityking> I don't doubt that the standard process takes too long for innovations
# [23:57] <annevk> ment, can't really find what that means exactly, but I am not sure if that is true
# [23:57] <jcranmer> well, what matters is not what the standard says
# [23:58] <realityking> but how do I know what features are stable when stuff is constantly added to the spec?
# [23:58] <jcranmer> it matters what implementors actually do
# [23:58] <annevk> ment, once we have stable implementations in browsers there is no need to change
# [23:58] <ment> annevk: standards are supposed to make order in things, not to incorporate every retarded thing some developer came up with at microsoft/google/mozilla
# [23:58] <jcranmer> in an ideal world, the standard is what everyone does
# [23:58] <jgraham> realityking: The goal is to have per section markers
# [23:58] <annevk> ment, with the parser anyway, the only changes we will make to the parser will be for new features
# [23:58] <foolip_> realityking, this just added to the FAQ: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#How_can_web_developers_know_which_features_are_safe_to_use.3F
# [23:58] <jcranmer> in practice, people pick and choose for what they need to have done
# [23:58] <annevk> ment, it just takes a while to get the parser to that state
# [23:58] <annevk> ment, where it is stable
# [23:58] <espadrine> realityking: each implementor has its support table.
# [23:58] <jgraham> realityking: But in practice, if there are multiple, independent implementations of something such that content relies on it, it is stable
# [23:59] <jcranmer> for example, officially NNTP is UTF-8; in practice, that is most certainly not a universal statement
# [23:59] <jgraham> Stability is enforced by the market, not some artifical declaration
# [23:59] <realityking> espadrine: yeah but a tleasts Webkits sucks
# [23:59] <annevk> ment, if you have ideas on how to approach this differently btw please do email the list or something
# [23:59] <realityking> of course I can change every single document in every browser
