- # [00:39] <DanC> well, sorta; I like for people to give me a few keywords when they ping me so I can evaluate the priority of the request vs. other stuff I'm doing.
- # [00:39] <DanC> what's up, hasather ?
- # [00:41] <hasather> oh, sorry. I'm not listed at http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=40318&public=1
- # [00:41] <hasather> I noticed that mu inbox got less mail than usual
- # [00:41] <hasather> Or should I contact someone else?
- # [00:42] <DanC> I take it you joined the WG at some point?
- # [00:42] <hasather> Yes

- # [00:42] <hasather> mail stopped at 3rd it seems
- # [00:43] <DanC> do you remember when you joined? I'm having trouble finding record that you joined
- # [00:44] <hasather> first week or something
- # [00:44] <hasather> when Hixie posted the details on how to join
- # [00:44] <DanC> ah... 9 March. found it
- # [00:44] <DanC> some part of the email infrastructure mangled your surname
- # [00:44] <DanC> or maybe our WBS forms thingy
- # [00:45] <DanC> hmm... then on 27 Jun, opera nominated you.
- # [00:45] <hasather> Yes, I was a summer intern
- # [00:46] <DanC> the robot usually sends me mail when somebody leaves. I don't see anything about that.
- # [00:47] * DanC is stumped
- # [00:49] <DanC> mail stopped 3rd Sep? or 3rd Aug?
- # [00:49] <hasather> September
- # [00:51] <hasather> actually, it might have been 28th of August. Sorry
- # [00:51] <DanC> well, I reported the problem to the W3C systems team by email, with copy to you
- # [00:52] <hasather> Thank you very much for taking the time
- # [00:52] <DanC> welcome.
- # [00:53] <DanC> if you have that sort of problem when I'm not around, Karl can help.
- # [00:53] <DanC> his office hours and mine mostly don't overlap
- # [00:53] <DanC> he handles most of the signing-up stuff, actually.
- # [00:53] <hasather> ok, thanks

- # [17:41] <Lachy> hsivonen, I made use of the validator new API and implemented HTML5 validation using XHR in http://html5.lachy.id.au/output (I just proxy the request through my own server to get around cross domain security issues). It works well
- # [17:43] <hsivonen> Lachy: cool!
- # [17:48] <hsivonen> is there anything I can do with the current XHR browsers to make it work without proxying?
- # [17:49] <hsivonen> Lachy: is that page OK to link to from validator.nu docs?
- # [17:49] <Lachy> sure, you can link to anything
- # [17:50] <Lachy> I'll make the source of it available soon (though it basically uses a stripped down version of the py script you gave us yesterday)
- # [17:51] <Lachy> I don't believe there's anything you can do to avoid proxying, since the solution is Access-Control which isn't supported yet
- # [17:51] <Philip> hsivonen: Maybe make it output JS code like "callback(stuff_in_json)" so people can include it via <script> (with the document in the query string)?
- # [17:51] <Philip> Not exactly elegant, but it sometimes works
- # [17:52] <Lachy> Philip, you can't POST an entity with that technique, it would all have to be done in the query string
- # [17:53] <hsivonen> Lachy: linked
- # [17:53] <zcorpan_> Lachy: can you share the source for /validate ?
- # [17:53] <anne> "Required descendants missing from element." is not entirely clear if you omit <head> etc.
- # [17:53] <anne> (it's about <title> missing)
- # [17:54] <hsivonen> Philip: OK. JSON is on the todo list.
- # [17:54] <hsivonen> Philip: should I allow the callback name to be configured?
- # [17:54] <Philip> You could do "callback(stuff_in_xml)" and have it work in all the browsers that support E4X :-)
- # [17:54] <hsivonen> with pure json if callback name == null?
- # [17:54] <Lachy> zcorpan, not immediately, since I'm remotely connected to my computer over a relatively slow connection, so that would be difficult
- # [17:54] <Lachy> I'll be home on sunday, I can do it then
- # [17:55] <hsivonen> Philip: are there other E4X browsers besides Gecko-based?
- # [17:55] <anne> Lachy, you would set up a redirect for http://blog.whatwg.org/faq
- # [17:55] <Philip> I don't really know much about how this stuff usually works, but configurable callback names sound good so you can have multiple asynchronous requests and work out which response corresponds to each one
- # [17:56] <Philip> hsivonen: None that I know of
- # [17:56] <Lachy> though, it's easy to implement. Just read sys.stdin.read() for the HTML, os.environ["CONTENT_TYPE"] and use httplib to POST it to html5.validator.nu?out=text

- # [18:03] <Philip> The first I remembering hearing about the <script> callback technique was when people were talking about how it caused XSS vulnerabilities in Google
- # [18:04] <Philip> so then I thought that it sounds like a useful trick and I don't care about security, so I started copying it
- # [18:04] <Lachy> zcorpan, feel free to fix any bugs with it and check it into google code for me
- # [18:05] <zcorpan_> Lachy: ok (though don't count on it) :)
- # [18:06] <Lachy> no worries, I'll do it next week if you don't
- # [18:07] <zcorpan_> hmm, i'm thinking about there should be an easy way to create a custom subset of the html5 schema, e.g. if you only want to allow some elements
- # [18:08] <zcorpan_> without having to know rnc
- # [18:09] <Lachy> a nice form that allows users to select the elements they want to allow, which generates the appropriate schema would be nice
- # [18:09] <hsivonen> Philip: well, validator.nu has no cookies, logins or such, so there aren't credentials to steal
- # [18:10] <zcorpan_> Lachy: yeah, exactly
- # [18:10] <hsivonen> speaking of security, if I zap characters that XML forbids, will I end up zapping curses that would confuse terminals?

- # [18:12] <Lachy> might be easier to produce a set of schemas that a suited for different tasks. e.g. a blog might use one schema for validating blog posts and a more restricted one for comments

- # [23:17] <emeriste> Thank you zcorpan
- # [23:18] <emeriste> Wow.
- # [23:18] <emeriste> Does Tim Berners Lee chat here?
- # [23:18] <zcorpan_> not very often
- # [23:19] <zcorpan_> i think i've seen him here once during a telecon
- # [23:19] <emeriste> Are you the people who decide how HTML and related mark ups are going to work and how web browsers should handle it?
- # [23:20] <zcorpan_> sort of
- # [23:20] <emeriste> That's really something. I'm really impressed.
- # [23:21] <zcorpan_> :)
- # [23:21] <zcorpan_> you can take part
- # [23:21] <emeriste> No Im afraid I don't have the knowledge base.

- # [23:22] <zcorpan_> or you can join the whatwg (simpler)
- # [23:22] <zcorpan_> http://www.whatwg.org/
- # [23:27] <emeriste> I see.
- # [23:29] <emeriste> zcorpan_ could you say, in layman's terms, broadly speaking, what kind of work the working group does?
- # [23:33] <zcorpan_> we work on the html5 spec. which includes researching web pages, existing implementations, writing the spec, implementing the spec, providing implementation feedback, writing test cases
- # [23:33] <zcorpan_> adding new features to html to make things simpler for authors and the experience better for users
- # [23:33] <emeriste> I see.
- # [23:34] <emeriste> I thought html was being abandoned for xhmtl.
- # [23:34] <zcorpan_> it's not
- # [23:35] <zcorpan_> both are worked on in parallell
- # [23:35] <zcorpan_> or actually it's the same language, just different syntax
- # [23:37] <emeriste> Hm.

- # [23:53] <anne> DanC, does the forms TF have a chair or something?
- # [23:54] <anne> DanC, I'm asking as it's unclear to me how this group is going to start
- # [23:54] <Hixie> as far as i can tell the six members are expected to get their act together on their own
- # [23:54] * Joins: Sander (svl@86.87.68.167)
- # [23:54] <Hixie> self-appointing a chair, or working as a group, as desired
- # [23:55] <DanC> no chair. as hixie says, we're hoping they'll self-organize
- # [23:55] <DanC> picking your own chair would be fine, I guess
- # [23:56] <Hixie> i'm kinda surprised that the group basically died without even one flamewar
- # [23:56] <Hixie> i'm assuming it'll pick up at some point
- # [23:56] <DanC> I saw some introductions. that looked like a good start
- # [23:56] <Hixie> yeah it started well
- # [23:56] <Hixie> then fizzled
- # [23:56] <anne> yeah, 5 of 6
- # [23:57] <DanC> there were some mailing list mechanical issues; Chris couldn't send his answer to gregory's question to the list cuz the list got closed
- # [23:57] <Hixie> ah
- # [23:57] <DanC> in the hand-over to lachy, I accidently got one of the systems guys to close it to non-tf-members
- # [23:58] <DanC> I said something like "but the system won't prevent posting from people outside the tf" and gerald said "I can fix that... presto."
- # [23:59] <DanC> I was so impressed that I didn't realized that wasn't what I wanted
- # [23:59] <anne> (then there's also the problem that the charters suggest various things that we've to do)
- # [00:00] <DanC> the initial experiment is to ask the TF to craft a charter out of the various extant bits.
