  57. # [14:24] <Florian_> When a test file uses the ahem font, is it sufficient that the flags include "ahem", or should the visible text in the test also say that you need ahem?
  58. # [14:24] <Florian_> I'm trying to reuse a reference file that doesn't talk about it, so I'd rather not duplicate.
  59. # [14:27] <SimonSapin> Florian_: I don’t think or test harness is aware of flags at all. Until we have a fix for https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/6195 , I’d recommend adding an @font-face rule if possible
  60. # [14:27] <SimonSapin> uuuh, wrong channel sorry
  61. # [14:28] <SimonSapin> ignore me :]
  62. # [14:28] <Florian_> SimonSapin: :)
  63. # [14:29] * Florian_ is now known as Florian
  64. # [14:30] <Florian> SimonSapin: But for human readers are we supposed to have a hint that ahem is needed in the test, or can we rely on the testing environment to give sufficient clues?
  65. # [14:30] <Ms2ger> Still, I fully approve of the @font-face solution
  66. # [14:31] * SimonSapin doesn’t believe in non-automated testing
  67. # [14:32] <Ms2ger> Hey, the CSS2.1 tests can be run in just three days!
  68. # [14:32] <Florian> SimonSapin: I am not so much talking about non automated testing, as about self documenting test cases. Automated testing is what you need for regression testing. When you are in the middle of developping something, manually looking at the TC makes sense, and it's better if you can understand it
  69. # [14:32] <Ms2ger> And with the at-rule, you don't need to pay attention to anything :)
  70. # [14:33] <Florian> Ms2ger: As for @font-face, this is tricky when the TC is viewed by humans. It make take a few seconds before ahem is downloaded, and if the viewer makes a judgement on the tc during that time, it could be wrong.
  71. # [14:34] <SimonSapin> doesn’t the viewer have a loading indicator?
  72. # [14:35] <Florian> SimonSapin: For fonts? I don't know, but I am not sure I'd count on it.

  75. # [14:45] <Florian> having looked at TCs in the repo, the answer is "no, the TC doesn't need to say it uses ahem except in the flags"

  176. # [18:05] <dael> Topic: CSS UI 3 LC comment
  177. # [18:05] <Zakim> +dbaron
  178. # [18:05] <dael> Florian: We have one more week in unofficial LC. We've had two comments. SOme of them were non-controversial and I changed them.
  179. # [18:05] <Florian> https://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css3-ui#current-issues
  180. # [18:05] <Florian> s/two/some/
  181. # [18:05] <dael> Florian: Her'es the ones that need discussion
  182. # [18:06] <dael> Florian: If we start with the first one, #94 he is suggested that the default HTML stylesheet should have resize: both as a default. I think all browsers that have this do it, so I'm fine, but I don't care that strongly
  183. # [18:06] <dael> Florian: what does the group think?
  184. # [18:06] <dael> Florian: IE doesn't impl resize so they don't have it, but the browsers that do impl have it.
  185. # [18:06] <dbaron> sounds fine to me
  186. # [18:07] <dael> TabAtkins: Yeah, it's demonstrated to exist basically, so you should.
  187. # [18:07] <dael> Florian: Anyone form MS here?
  188. # [18:07] <dael> [silence]
  189. # [18:07] <dael> Florian: I guess not.

  193. # [18:07] <Zakim> +tantek; got it
  194. # [18:07] <dael> Florian: This impl that for this to work means overflow is something other than visable, but I think they are. I ahven't seen a text-area:overflow. I believe it's overflow auto
  195. # [18:07] <dael> TabAtkins: They're auto
  196. # [18:07] <dael> Florian: I'm pretty sure there's scroll
  197. # [18:08] <dael> Florian: I think they're visable. Overflow scroll in IE. THat's okay for this.
  198. # [18:08] <dael> TabAtkins: It's auto in chrome.
  199. # [18:08] <dael> Florian: I think it's auto everywhere except overflow y scroll in IE, but no one has it visable.
  200. # [18:08] <dael> Florian: I'm hearing weak agreement.
  201. # [18:08] <dael> tantek: That's not informative so we can change at any point.
  202. # [18:09] <dael> Florian: No one obj so I suggest we put it in.
  203. # [18:09] <dael> RESOLVED: Add the sugestion about resize: both
  204. # [18:09] * Joins: murakami (~murakami@public.cloak)
  205. # [18:09] <dael> Florian: next is #95
  206. # [18:10] <dael> Florian: The word Ellipsed as a word isn't i nthe dictionary, but I have have found it in some dictionaries, but Ellipsized is only in Android docs. But he still thinks go with it because it doesn't mean what we say.
  207. # [18:10] <dael> TabAtkins: Yeah, I think it means give it an ellipsis.
  208. # [18:10] <dael> Florian: No dictionary has what we want.
  209. # [18:10] <dael> tantek: I would reject these grammar/spelling ocmments unless it's a very strong case. That's our job as editors to get it right.
  210. # [18:10] <Zakim> +??P4
  211. # [18:10] <SimonSapin> Zakmi, ??P4 is me
  212. # [18:10] <dael> Florian: I agree, but I wanted other opinions.

  214. # [18:11] <Zakim> +SimonSapin; got it
  215. # [18:11] <dael> TabAtkins: I've dealt with this before, but I've jsut invented a word using standard english rules.
  216. # [18:11] * glazou that’s the tabinventization of new words
  217. # [18:11] <dael> tantek: I think the wording is fine. I would reject that kind of request.
  218. # [18:11] <dael> Florian: That's my inclentation too
  219. # [18:11] <dael> RESOLVED: Reject issue 95
  220. # [18:11] <dael> Florian: Issue 96
  221. # [18:12] <dael> Florian: He thinks the at-risk section isn't clear enough. He wanted the section about text-overflow explaining it's about ellipsis and having direct links to the rest of hte spec
  222. # [18:12] <dael> tantek: The ellpsis part of text overflow isn't at risk.
  223. # [18:12] <dael> Florian: I think that isn't the right place to remind people what it does.
  224. # [18:12] <fantasai> I think this is editorial, doesn't need WG discussion
  225. # [18:13] <dael> Florian: He also wanted pointers to the exact parts of the spec and we're pointing to the beginning of the section. I think it's good enough.
  226. # [18:13] <dael> tantek: I agree with fantasai that this level of editorial feedback should just be fixed and not do telecon.
  227. # [18:13] <dael> Florian: I just wanted to have agreement to reject, but if you think it's not we can move ahead.
  228. # [18:13] * heycam is now known as heycam|away
  229. # [18:13] <dael> TabAtkins: plinss do we need WG approval for editorial, or jsut non-editorial?
  230. # [18:13] <dael> plinss: I'm not sure.
  231. # [18:14] <dael> tantek: If it's okay witht he WG I'd like to focus on normative in telecon time.
  232. # [18:14] <glazou> or Bert
  233. # [18:14] <dael> plinss: I agree.
  234. # [18:14] <glazou> Zakim, unmute me
  235. # [18:14] <Zakim> glazou should no longer be muted
  236. # [18:14] <dael> fantasai: The editorial stuff, if the commenttor objects to your resolution bring it to the WG, otherwise just fix. If it's termonology, maybe bring it to the WG because we like to have consistent termonology.
  237. # [18:15] <dael> plinss: If the change crosses specs it needds to get out there.
  238. # [18:15] <fantasai> terminology
  239. # [18:15] <dael> Florian: I brought it up because I wanted to reject, but I'll do it without group time. The other issues are similar.
  240. # [18:15] <dael> tantek: We'll be making other changes before CR anyway. I think we can take that as editorial perrogative.
  241. # [18:16] <dael> Florian: Okay. timeless and I had back and forth, but he was disagreeing with what I was proposing.
  242. # [18:16] <dael> plinss: let's move on.

  248. # [18:17] <dael> tantek: That's the 30th
  249. # [18:17] * glazou wanted to say that the discrimination between editorial requiring or not requiring confcall time is « will Ralph ask about a resolution during the transition call »
  250. # [18:17] * glazou will rejoin, cannot speak
  251. # [18:17] <Zakim> -glazou
  252. # [18:17] <dael> fantasai: You can't pub CR< it has to go through a process with telecons. Once you complie the DoC and can get a resolution form the WG that they agree with the resolution of comments, you'll turn it over to the chairs and they'll get it published later. You can get it in the pipeline, but it'll get pub a bit later. CR takes longer.
  253. # [18:18] <dael> fantasai: You can get group concensus to pub CR, but not on a date.
  254. # [18:18] <Zakim> +glazou
  255. # [18:18] <dael> tantek: So the hopes of getting CR through pipeline, I'm asking for group consensus to pub CR
  256. # [18:18] <dael> plinss: I'm okay, but we need a DoC
  257. # [18:18] <dael> Florian: We have it in the wiki but it needs to be cleaned.
  258. # [18:18] <dael> tantek: We don't have the formal red/green.
  259. # [18:19] <dael> TabAtkins: bikeshed makes that easy for you with the issues list command.
  260. # [18:19] <dael> Florian: There's one point we might want. One of the editorial was a11y. There was author level that said they mustn ot remove outlines on focus level. They want us to ahve a lot stronger of a threat i nthat. It's editorial, but people get more touchy about a11y.

  264. # [18:20] * glazou now waits for the ‘defcon’ property on 01-apr-2016…

  279. # [18:21] <Zakim> +dbaron
  280. # [18:21] <dael> Florian: I had an action to try and make some variations around user-select none so that if you select the parent you either would or would not include the none.
  281. # [18:23] <dael> Florian: I've beed through the bugzilla of FF and webkit and I don't think we should do this. FF has it so that if you have a child the user-select: none isn't included and there is no bug asking for it to be the other way, but webkit has bugs asking for the FF way. There's no evidence people wan tthe webkit way so I don't think we should provide. If your browser can't do multi-part you don't, but if you can you do.
  282. # [18:23] <glazou> fine by me

  287. # [18:23] <dael> resolved: don't offer varients of user-select: none that Florian was actioned to investgate
  288. # [18:23] <Florian> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015May/0306.html
  289. # [18:23] * glazou won’t object despite of being the requester, nice explanation from Florian
  290. # [18:24] <dbaron> I think it sounds fine as long as that's not what -moz-user-select: -moz-none is... but I think I discussed that with Florian at some point.
  291. # [18:24] <dael> Florian: next is something else I had an action on.
  292. # [18:24] * Joins: stakagi (~stakagi@public.cloak)
  293. # [18:25] <dael> Florian: It was to put a note saying user-select: none is useful in template in an editor setting because you have an overall editable area with a specific area that's not ditable or deliable like a disclamer. The way content: editable typically works is if you have a non-editable thing you can still delete it. But by having user-select: none you can't delete. But I really don't think I can say that in here.
  294. # [18:26] <dael> Florian: It looks a bit out of scope. If you still want a note I have proposed wording, but I'm not conviced we should have it.
  295. # [18:26] <Florian> Note: user-select:none on a non-editable descendant of an editable element means that in addition to not being editable, that descendant is also not deletable, neither directly nor by attempting to include it in a broader selection and then deleting that selection. This matter for example in template-based editing, where an editable template may contain sections which must be preserved.
  296. # [18:26] <dael> Florian: : [reads his proposal from the e-mail]
  297. # [18:26] <dael> Florian: It can be a note, but I'm wondering if it's out of scope.
  298. # [18:27] <dael> TabAtkins: It sounds fine to me, but I don't have an opinion of out of scope. If we keep it it's fine.
  299. # [18:27] <dael> glazou: I was re-reading it and I'd like to keep it.
  300. # [18:27] <dael> glazou: If nobody obj of course. It's non-normative anyway.
  301. # [18:27] <dael> Florian: What makes me nervious is it's useful if targeted at people writing the spec, but if they do something else it could set up the wrong expectation
  302. # [18:28] <dael> glazou: But the people dealing with those in a template enviroment will read both specs. I prefer having the note in one place instead of nowhere.
  303. # [18:28] <dael> Florian: Okay.
  304. # [18:28] <dael> glazou: If there are obj I'm happy to withdraw, but I think it's fine to leave it if no one objects.
  305. # [18:28] <BradK> No objection
  306. # [18:28] <dael> plinss: Objections?
  307. # [18:28] <dael> RESOLVED: Add Florian proposed text to user-select
  308. # [18:28] <Florian> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Jun/0012.html
  309. # [18:29] <dael> Florian: Next up is this
  310. # [18:29] <Zakim> -antonp
  311. # [18:30] <dael> Florian: user-select isn't actually inherited, it's pseudo-inherited and goes through the auto keyword. If the browser wants to support it ::first-line we have to make sure how it works. But I think using it on ::first-line or ::first-letter is wrong. If you're trying to use this correctly it's through a UI element.
  312. # [18:30] <dael> Florian: I'd like toe xplicitly say it doesn't apply there
  313. # [18:30] <dael> tantek: I think not-applying is the default.
  314. # [18:30] <dael> Florian: They have a list that says UAs may apply other stuff.
  315. # [18:30] <dael> tantek: You want it to be must not apply
  316. # [18:30] <glazou> +1
  317. # [18:30] <dael> Florian: Yes
  318. # [18:30] <dael> tantek: Okay.
  319. # [18:30] <dael> TabAtkins: Agreeed.
  320. # [18:30] <dael> fantasai: Yes.
  321. # [18:30] <dael> tantek: I would add before/after
  322. # [18:31] <dael> fantasai: I don't think it's the same problem
  323. # [18:31] <dael> tantek: I'd liek to force someone to havea use case for it.
  324. # [18:31] <dael> tantek: No use case, no feature.
  325. # [18:31] <glazou> no chocolate either
  326. # [18:31] <dael> dbaron: I think it's extra work to make them not apply
  327. # [18:31] <Zakim> +antonp
  328. # [18:31] <dael> tantek: I think it's a compat problem to let them apply for action.
  329. # [18:31] <antonp> Zakim, mute me

  334. # [18:32] <glazou> WHAT
  335. # [18:32] <Zakim> glazou should now be muted
  336. # [18:32] <dael> dbaron: There's the problem that selection doesn't work with UI anyway.
  337. # [18:32] * glazou aaaaah antonp and I did it at the same time and I was confused
  338. # [18:32] <dael> plinss: I'm a bit uncomfortable to before/after because it's different use.
  339. # [18:32] <dbaron> s/UI/::before and ::after/
  340. # [18:32] <dael> Florian: I'm not sure it's so different. These things aren't actual content. They could be coming form selection because they're not part of the content, but I don't care that strongly.
  341. # [18:33] <dael> plinss: I've heard people argue they can't select them.
  342. # [18:33] <glazou> Zakim, unmute me
  343. # [18:33] <Zakim> glazou should no longer be muted
  344. # [18:33] <dael> TabAtkins: They're not selectable because impl limitations at the moment. If they're selectable in chrome they'd be selectable everywhere in chrome like normal text.
  345. # [18:33] <dael> Florian: I think we have consensus on ::first-line/::first-letter but not the others.
  346. # [18:34] <dael> RESOLVED: user-select must not apply to ::first-line/::first-letter
  347. # [18:34] <dael> Florian: That's it for user-select

  350. # [18:34] <dael> Florian: We recieved 2 e-mails from the same person asking for the same thing on custom media features.
  351. # [18:35] <dael> Florian: He thinks it's ambig if it's a mydia type or media feature and adding parans makes it obvious. I fdon't really care, but I see where he's coming from. We should answer, though.
  352. # [18:35] <dael> TabAtkins: I'm inclined to say no. Any other customer definitions in CSS syntax like alias style won't ahve wrapping syntax. I think it would be wierd to break just for custom-media
  353. # [18:36] <dael> Florian: On the syntax you need to use has nothing to do with where you declare.
  354. # [18:36] <dael> Florian: I'm okay with rejecting, I wanted to make sure we agreed to reject.
  355. # [18:36] <dael> plinss: Other opinions?

  357. # [18:36] <dael> topic: sideways-left
  358. # [18:37] * dael can't hear well
  359. # [18:37] * Florian neither can I
  360. # [18:37] <dael> koji: There are issue with the implementation functioning interop. The idea is to have it move to a property sideways-left
  361. # [18:38] <dael> fantasai: I don't think this is a good idea because...we don't havea problem so long as we have sideways-right and not sideways or we change the meaning of sideways to mean sideways-right and have an auto value. THere are reasons to have sideways-left as an inline thing eventually so it doesn't make sense long term
  362. # [18:38] <dael> koji: What are the reasons?
  363. # [18:39] <dael> fantasai: There are uncommon use cases for which is should be inline
  364. # [18:39] <dael> koji: Is the rtl cjk?
  365. # [18:39] * heycam is now known as heycam|away
  366. # [18:39] <dael> fantasai: That and...
  367. # [18:39] <dael> Florian: Why can you do taht on the block level? The rtl inside cjk? doesn't that need to be inline?
  368. # [18:40] <dael> koji: You can do inline block that does it clearly.
  369. # [18:40] <dael> Florian: Inline block brings other things as well.
  370. # [18:40] <dael> fantasai: I don't think this is solving a significant problem. If there's a major problem with having sideways only meaning sideways right and have sideways auto do what sideways is doing. I don't want to chang ethe writing mode in such a way...I don't like mixing it up.
  371. # [18:41] <fantasai> s/sideways only/then we can have sideways only/
  372. # [18:41] <dael> koji: It's really complecated and we don't want to intorduce conplexity. If you don't like adding the value we can add the new one [?]
  373. # [18:41] <koji> s/one [?]/property/
  374. # [18:41] <dael> Florian: I'm a bit confused. I thought we agreed at the F2F that we could keep it the way we had. What's new?
  375. # [18:42] <dael> koji: How did we agree?
  376. # [18:42] <dael> Florian: We brought up that sideways-right was correct by most people but sideways and sideways-left was not and we might want to rename or get rid of some of them. After the session we agreed it was fine the way it was.
  377. # [18:42] <dael> koji: What we discussed is that the value of sidewyas depends on the value of sideways left.
  378. # [18:43] <dael> Florian: Okay. I understand now.
  379. # [18:43] <dael> fantasai: I don't think it's intractable, but might be more difficult, so maybe this gets defered to next level.
  380. # [18:43] <dael> koji: I don't want ot impl this in the next level.
  381. # [18:43] <dael> Florian: Is sideways-right an issue, or just left?
  382. # [18:44] <dael> koji: Right is very clearly defined. Sideways-left requires additional resources for the baseline and it's really complicated.
  383. # [18:44] <dael> Florian: I'm tempted to say it's at-risk and that's fine, but I'm not impl.
  384. # [18:44] <glazou> Zakim, mute me
  385. # [18:44] <Zakim> glazou should now be muted

  387. # [18:45] <dael> plinss: Are we rejecting? THink about it?
  388. # [18:45] <dael> koji: rejecting meas we have to address other issues and complexities.
  389. # [18:45] * Florian couldn't hear koji's last comment
  390. # [18:45] <dael> fantasai: I don't htink we have any open issues. We jsut need to clairfy the spec
  391. # [18:46] <dael> koji: He doesn't want to change, why isn't that an issue?
  392. # [18:46] * Florian dbaron?
  393. # [18:46] * dbaron can't hear koji well enough to comment
  394. # [18:47] <dael> Florian: I think koji is brining up an issue that you raised that sideways-left is an issue if it can be applied inline. And fantasai and I were sayign it's more complicated, but also useful and it's at-risk anyway.
  395. # [18:47] <dael> dbaron: It feels like there are use cases. It is harder and we're not doing it now. My issue is that there is a bunch of other wording in the spec that needs to be adgested.
  396. # [18:48] <dael> fantasai: And that's something I need to fix, but we don't have to change the values and feature set, it's clarifying the spec
  397. # [18:48] <dael> koji: How will they understand how it works?
  398. # [18:48] <Florian> s/it/floats/ ?
  399. # [18:48] <koji> s/it/float/
  400. # [18:49] <dael> fantasai: It's not going to be too hard, but I need to sit down and spend like a month fixing the wording because there are a lot of areas that aren't precise enough.
  401. # [18:49] * Florian OH: "It's not too hard, I just need to sit down and spend on month on the spec"
  402. # [18:49] <dael> koji: Is there anyting other than rtl appearing in cjk overflow? If this is really complicated, I don't think that's worht the complexity
  403. # [18:49] <koji> s/overflow/vertical flow/
  404. # [18:49] * fantasai it's not too hard to fix this one thing, but there are a lot of things to fix; this is just one of them :)
  405. # [18:50] <dael> Florian: Could we try and identify the its that need fixing and look at the list and see if it's too small a use case?
  406. # [18:51] <dael> fantasai: The one thing here is the float rules are one or two paragraphs. There are other aspects of the spec that need cleaning, I don't think this is intractable, but it does need to be done. As far as, like, there are a couple of use cases where we could make it s block level thing and if you want those handled you have to use inline block
  407. # [18:51] <dael> fantasai: but also it makes the model fo the user more complicated because for things that are similar there is more than one switch.
  408. # [18:52] <Florian> q+
  409. # [18:52] * Zakim sees Florian on the speaker queue
  410. # [18:52] <dael> fantasai: Right now the effect is localized to inside the line box. If we make it block-level when we switch we can say you ignore text orentation or try and integrate it into writing mode, but that conflates the two switches that are currently only doing seperate things. I'd prefer not to do that because it makes it less clear cut.
  411. # [18:52] <dael> fantasai: If we decide it's toocomplicated, I'd rather set up rule on how you ignore values on inline elements.
  412. # [18:53] * Florian can barely hear koji
  413. # [18:53] <dael> koji: What we're trying to do for right also requires writing modes. It sounds inconsistant so I prefer the other way.
  414. # [18:53] <dael> fantasai: I don't htink authors think in terms of switching baselines. They think of how their glyph is orientated.
  415. # [18:53] <dael> koji: It depends on the people
  416. # [18:54] <Florian> q-
  417. # [18:54] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
  418. # [18:54] <fantasai> I don't think people associate upright typesetting with a sideways baseline orientation
  419. # [18:54] <dael> Florian: If I understand, sideways-left at the inline level is a problem and -right is not. The natural way to use right within a vertal text is in the inline elemt
  420. # [18:55] <dael> Florian: Instead of relying on mixed orientation. If i understand correctly I think this should stay in inline level switch. I think I'd rather not have sideways-left instead of not having this be an inline level switch
  421. # [18:55] <dael> plinss: I'm not hearing consensus. I'm thinking you go off and do some spec work to sort things out. Anyone have anything else to say?
  422. # [18:55] <dael> Topic: spec pubilication

  425. # [18:56] <dael> koji: I'm not very confortable with why we're editing the spec
  426. # [18:56] <dael> plinss: We don't have consensus on if we'll change so we should go offline
  427. # [18:56] <dael> tantek: Should we capture the options in the spec?
  428. # [18:57] <dael> fantasai: spec is in CR and the options have been there for a while. People are discovering it's complex as they try and impl.
  429. # [18:57] <glazou> in CR, adding such prose will not be editorial and will trigger a re-eval of CR...
  430. # [18:57] <dael> tantek: I'm a fan of capturing the issues.
  431. # [18:57] <dael> tantek: If we're not making quick progress it's good to mark it in the spec.
  432. # [18:57] <dael> fantasai: The feature is marked as at-risk.
  433. # [18:58] <dael> tantek: I mean the issues we've come up with that we're not resolving.
  434. # [18:58] <dael> tantek: Someone outside the group may have insights.
  435. # [18:58] <dael> fantasai: One issue is that we need clarification. I will do that. Koji wants to move one thing to another property to make it easier to implement.
  436. # [18:58] <dael> tantek: For that we should put a note on it that we don't have consesnsus and we welcome input.
  437. # [18:58] <dael> plinss: I would agree, but we're in CR.
  438. # [18:59] <dael> Florian: W can put it in the ED which exists even if we're in CR.

  443. # [18:59] <dael> koji: Okay. I think there have been years without progress.
  444. # [18:59] <dael> tantek: That's why I want it in the draft.
  445. # [19:00] <dael> Florian: I think I disgree witht he proposal, I am okay with it being in the spec.
  446. # [19:00] <dael> tantek: I jsut want to move the discussion forward.
  447. # [19:00] <fantasai> dbaron, I think the argument is that it wouldn't have the varying BFC issue you raised?
  448. # [19:00] <dael> plinss: Let's list the issue in the ED
  449. # [19:00] <dael> tantek: I'm okay iterating on the CR with that.
  450. # [19:01] <dael> plinss: It sounds like we have to publish the CR once there's edits on it.
  451. # [19:01] <dael> fantasai: The CR will have to go through a few iterations.

  482. # [19:08] <Florian> Tantek, can you have a look at timeless's email and the remaining open issues for CSS3-UI?
  483. # [19:08] <tantek> yes
  484. # [19:09] <Florian> I've already made some adjustemnts based on his suggestions, but what's left is what I'd rather not do. If you agree to reject, then we can make an official statement
  485. # [19:09] <tantek> I agree with capturing all these as separate issues btw - to be clear
  486. # [19:09] <tantek> because those all feed into the disposition of comments
  487. # [19:09] <tantek> as a general rule I'm going to back / agree with your rejections
  488. # [19:09] <tantek> re: what's left - issue #s?
  489. # [19:10] <Florian> 96 97 98
  490. # [19:10] <Florian> 97 I've partly agreed and adjusted already, but he wants me to adjust more than I've already done, and I don't think that's right.

  493. # [19:11] <Florian> I am ok with rephrasing to make things clearer, I am not ok with statements like "If you don't conform, such and such party may refuse to do business with you, and such and such user group may hate you"
  494. # [19:12] <tantek> yeah I totally agree with you
  495. # [19:12] <tantek> that kind of assertion is out of scope for a w3c spec
  496. # [19:12] <Florian> yep
  497. # [19:12] <tantek> which is a good reason to raise it to the WG as a general policy for CSS specs
  498. # [19:12] <tantek> and frankly, I'm happy to accept that as an item to raise to the AB as a general policy for W3C specs
  499. # [19:13] <tantek> despite TabAtkins's not-so-hidden agenda :P
  500. # [19:14] <Florian> An AB resolution could be nice, as a thing to point to
  501. # [19:14] <Florian> but then you'd need to be very careful about how it's phrased
  502. # [19:15] <tantek> well the way that would typically work is for a WG to adopt a policy first
  503. # [19:15] <tantek> by consensus in the WG
  504. # [19:15] <tantek> and the AB could look at it and say, hey this is a good idea that we should generalize
  505. # [19:15] <Florian> "You MUST do X. If you don't, you should do Y instead." is a useful thing to state in a spec. "You MUST do X, or else!!!" is not.
  506. # [19:15] <tantek> lol
  507. # [19:17] <Florian> All right, dinner time. Then I'll roll in todays resolutions.
  508. # [19:20] <SimonSapin> Florian: an extension to MUST (BUT WE KNOW YOU WON'T) ?
  509. # [19:22] <Florian> SimonSapin: must (and He will know if you don't, and you shall repent).

  543. # [21:20] <tantek> oh, slight native speaker fix
  544. # [21:20] <Florian> as for 96, I am not against clarifying, but I don't quite see how.
  545. # [21:20] <Florian> please
  546. # [21:20] <tantek> Keyboard users, in particular people with ...
  547. # [21:21] <tantek> slight semantic, "which" tends to apply to things/objects, and it's slightly more polite to not use it for references to people
  548. # [21:23] <Florian> Thanks, that does sound better.
  549. # [21:24] <Florian> I'll use that
  550. # [21:24] <Florian> for 96, do you get what improvement we can make?
  551. # [21:25] * Quits: antonp1 (~Thunderbird@public.cloak) (Client closed connection)
  552. # [21:25] * Joins: antonp (~Thunderbird@public.cloak)
  553. # [21:38] <tantek> for 96, I can attempt some rewordings, or I'll give up and say so :)
  554. # [21:39] <Florian> I've made the edits for 94 and 97
  555. # [21:40] <tantek> great
  556. # [21:41] <Florian> should I let timeless know which suggestions we accepted and which we rejected already, or do you want to fix up 96 first
  557. # [21:43] <Florian> for wiki / DoC purposes, should I could 97 as accepted or rejected, since we accepted part of the comment (make it clearer and make it stand out), but not some other part (make threats)?
  558. # [21:44] <Florian> I'm thinking of counting it as rejected, since that's what important to track. Accepted editorial changes are not that imortant to keep track individually when we already have about 100 issues on record.
  559. # [21:47] <tantek> in the past I've noted such in DoCs as partially accepted / rejected and used yellow
  560. # [21:47] <tantek> maybe even in the previous CSS3 UI CR DoC!
  561. # [21:47] <Florian> :)
  562. # [21:48] <Florian> the status lines indicates partially accepted / rejected, and I've put it in the "Rejected" section of the wiki just to make sure we don't make it green by accident.
  563. # [21:48] <tantek> oh hey I had a whole rainbow code
  564. # [21:48] <tantek> http://www.w3.org/Style/css3-updates/css3-ui-comments :)
  565. # [21:49] <tantek> now I remember what I did to solve that problem
  566. # [21:50] <tantek> anything that I partially accepted / rejected, I split into smaller subcomments that I marked explicitly wholly accepted or rejected
  567. # [21:51] <Florian> sounds reasonable. For now we have all the info in the wiki. We can massage it into the right shape later
  568. # [21:52] <Florian> I'll send a mail to timeless about the ones we've rejected, to ask if he objects or can live we that.
  569. # [21:52] <Florian> Do we have a template for asking this by the way? I think I've seen one at some point.
  570. # [21:59] * Joins: stakagi (~stakagi@public.cloak)
  571. # [22:00] <tantek> asking what?
  572. # [22:01] * Joins: dbaron (~dbaron@public.cloak)
  573. # [22:01] * Quits: adenilson (~anonymous@public.cloak) (adenilson)
  574. # [22:11] <Florian> tantek: a template for "Please tell us if you can live with that, or if you formally object"
  575. # [22:12] * Quits: antonp (~Thunderbird@public.cloak) (antonp)
  576. # [22:12] <tantek> I've avoided a template for such to instead force myself to personalize each message and make it seem less likea "form letter" response/rejection
  577. # [22:13] <tantek> Totally anecdotal: I have found that personalized response tend to get more sympathetic follow-up than form-like responses
  578. # [22:13] <tantek> also, practicing writing such deliberate politeness is probably a good thing for all of us editors
  579. # [22:13] <tantek> especially when we reject things
  580. # [22:14] <tantek> even if it's slower
  581. # [22:17] <liam> inviting formal objection escalation is also best not done too soon
  582. # [22:18] <tantek> yeah I wouldn't even ask them "if you formally object" - no need to suggest that option
  583. # [22:18] <tantek> it sounds like a "or else you could escalate" which sounds a bit too confrontational/uncooperative
  584. # [22:18] <liam> better is, "If this is acceptable there's no need to do anything, otherwise please reply to this message with more details - thank you"
  585. # [22:18] <tantek> thanks liam - that's good
  586. # [22:19] <liam> yw :)
  587. # [22:20] <liam> Florian, see above suggestion.
  588. # [22:21] <tantek> Florian, also ok to reply with work-in-progress and to say still working on remaining questions/issues
  589. # [22:21] <Florian> liam, tantek: Is it good? I believe we actually need an answer saying "I'm ok with this" when we reject a comment, and I am not sure we can assume that silence means agreement.
  590. # [22:21] <Florian> tantek: Yes, for WIP, I plan to state that
  591. # [22:21] <tantek> Florian: I think that's why I came up with all the different colors in the previous DoC
  592. # [22:21] <Florian> plinss: can you comment on the above discussion?
  593. # [22:22] <tantek> http://www.w3.org/Style/css3-updates/css3-ui-comments
  594. # [22:22] <tantek> in particular I think it's ok to document silence as absence of further objection
  595. # [22:22] <plinss> Florian: in TAG telcon, will look in a few...
  596. # [22:22] <tantek> but explicitly note that it was silence
  597. # [22:22] <tantek> hence *yellow*
  598. # [22:22] <tantek> instead of green
  599. # [22:22] <tantek> which should be ok
  600. # [22:22] <Florian> tantek: I think "we asked if it was ok, and got no answer" is acceptable, but we actually need to ask for an answer
  601. # [22:23] <liam> Florian, you only have to make clear they can say no
  602. # [22:23] <liam> you don't need a formal "yes"
  603. # [22:23] <tantek> Florian, we don't actually have to ask
  604. # [22:23] <tantek> though it is nice to do so
  605. # [22:23] <tantek> e.g. if you look through the previous DoC, many times I cited others' emails as responses to issues, which did not ask for any follow-up
  606. # [22:24] <liam> it also heads off a possible 'did the person know they could respond" question, ahtough that wouldn't be an issue with timeless of course
  607. # [22:24] <tantek> heh yeah - hence why personalized responses are important
  608. # [22:24] <tantek> right, with timeless I would focus on polite brevity
  609. # [22:24] <liam> and please someone offer him a job :-)
  610. # [22:25] <tantek> with others I might be more up front about making sure they knew they could follow-up
  611. # [22:25] <Florian> I am not in the position to offer anyone a job
  612. # [22:25] <tantek> depends greatly on how shy they might be/sound
  613. # [22:25] <liam> Florian, no, that wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but I think he was laid off from Nokia, not sure exactly
  614. # [22:28] <Florian> Ok, I'm going to go with this as the intro, follow by a response on each issue:
  615. # [22:28] <Florian> Hi timeless,
