- # [00:00] <ChrisWilson> We're reviewing action items, incl. pending review (so we can close) and overdue items.
- # [00:01] <MikeSmith> ChrisWilson - call is in one hour, right?
- # [00:02] <ChrisWilson> yes, approx.

- # [00:17] <anne> so it might be that Unicode does not have a proper equivalent for <wbr>
- # [00:18] <anne> you don't want ZWS because that adds an invisible character and you don't want a SOFT HYPHEN either for similar reasons
- # [00:22] <MikeSmith> anne - so what the problem with having an invisible character?
- # [00:23] <anne> copy & paste I think
- # [00:24] <Dashiva> So is the problem that it's invisible (people can't see it to remove it) or that it's a character?
- # [00:24] <anne> imagine you copy and paste an e-mailaddress with such a character in it
- # [00:27] * Philip uses zero-width spaces in his canvas tests, and it triggered a buffer overflow in Windows 2000 :-(
- # [00:28] <Dashiva> But that's hardly limited to ZWS, it goes for all invisible characters. And I don't see them appearing often inside email addresses
- # [00:28] <MikeSmith> anne - in practice, I guess I think most people who use ZWS just use a numeric character reference for it
- # [00:28] <MikeSmith> which also avoids the problem you describe
- # [00:29] <Philip> MikeSmith: That avoids the problem if you copy-and-paste from the HTML source, but not if you copy from the rendered HTML
- # [00:29] <MikeSmith> ah
- # [00:30] <MikeSmith> yeah

- # [01:33] <oedipus> q+ to say re: ACTION-24 that he was surprised by hixie's reply about editors' drafts not reflecting changes from draft to draft using INS and DEL -- aren't editor's draft's supposed to contain new, deleted, and proposed text? this would be of inestimable assistance in monitoring the changes to the HTML5 Editors' Draft, so long as actual markup is utilized and conventions documented in the intro materials [hixie's review: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public
- # [01:33] * Zakim sees oedipus on the speaker queue
- # [01:33] <Lachy> oedipus, regarding the accessibility of the Big Issue markers, your mail talked about the accessibility of CSS generated contnet. However, the Big Issue markers are inserted into the page with JavaScript, so screen readers should be able to read them correctly

- # [01:33] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [01:34] <Zakim> +Gregory_Rosmaita
- # [01:34] <MikeSmith> oedipus - no, editor's drafts do not necessarily need to use INS and DEL or anything else to show changes
- # [01:35] <MikeSmith> oedipus : normal issues an Big Issue are styled the same
- # [01:35] <dsinger> but I think that Ian no longer knows what the semantic difference is either...
- # [01:35] <MikeSmith> ... that's the problem
- # [01:36] * MikeSmith wonders if Hixie might be around to comment on this over IRC
- # [01:36] <Lachy> The specific changes to the spec can be monitered using SVN. Using <ins> and <del> on a draft that changes so much is way too much work
- # [01:36] <dsinger> we'd need a definition of what makes an issue "big" ... and ...
- # [01:36] <Lachy> oedipus, normal issues and big issues are actually styled differently
- # [01:36] <dsinger> we'd need to go through all the issues and make sure that they are all correctly classified
- # [01:36] <Lachy> they just share some common styles
- # [01:37] * Hixie checks in
- # [01:37] <Hixie> i'm here
- # [01:37] <Hixie> wassup
- # [01:38] <MikeSmith> Hixie - please see comments from oedipus above
- # [01:38] <ChrisWilson> we're discussing INS/DEL
- # [01:38] * Hixie looks
- # [01:38] <ChrisWilson> and comment from Lachy
- # [01:38] <Hixie> the editor's drafts just happen every time i generate the spec, which can be multiple times a day... i'm not sure what use the ins/del markup would be
- # [01:38] <Hixie> (when would i remove them?)
- # [01:39] <ChrisWilson> WDs?
- # [01:39] <Hixie> there's a number of ways of tracking changes to the spec, including diff e-mails, subversion and cvs logs and diffs, twitter messages for non-editorial changes, and a web page that lets you filter the changes to just show what matters to you
- # [01:39] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: well since we haven't had a single WD yet presumably that would be one big <ins> element covering the whole spec
- # [01:40] <Hixie> ChrisWilson: i'm quite happy for us to generate html-based diffs between WDs if we publish frequent WDs, which i agree we should
- # [01:40] <hober> All of those existing mechanisms have the advantage that they don't require Hixie's editing behavior to radically change.
- # [01:40] <hober> Updating ins/dels on each edit adds significant editing overhead for what benefit, given the existing tools?
- # [01:41] * Joins: mjs (mjs@17.255.100.81)
- # [01:41] <Hixie> well if i were to add ins/del markup, i certainly wouldn't do it manually. i'd have to find some sort of tool to do it automatically.
- # [01:41] <hober> s/find/write/, most likely
- # [01:41] <Hixie> i don't have the bandwidth to write a diffing tool :-(
- # [01:41] <MikeSmith> oedipus : the current mechanisms for following changes to the spec need to be linked to more prominently on the WG home page
- # [01:41] <Hixie> but i'd happily use whatever tool people provided
- # [01:42] <Hixie> (the same way as i happily embedded the spec splitter tool and the spec to pdf convertor tool and the pubrules tool into my pipeline)

- # [01:44] * Lachy wonders if there are existing diffing tools available that could be used
- # [01:45] * Joins: ChrisWilson (cwilso@131.107.0.103)
- # [01:45] <MikeSmith> ACTION: Michael(tm) to add links on HTML WG to mechanism for watching changes to the HTML5 spec
- # [01:45] * trackbot-ng noticed an ACTION. Trying to create it.
- # [01:45] <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-40 - Add links on HTML WG to mechanism for watching changes to the HTML5 spec [on Michael(tm) Smith - due 2007-12-14].
- # [01:45] * RRSAgent records action 11
- # [01:46] <MikeSmith> any additional business for today's call?
- # [01:46] <Philip> http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/diff/ etc?
- # [01:47] <ChrisWilson> hmm. Yeah, that might work, I suppose.
- # [01:47] <Hixie> try it
- # [01:48] <Hixie> :-)
- # [01:48] <ChrisWilson> (I was asking for Gregory, not for me)
- # [01:48] <MikeSmith> oedipus: PF / Al Gilman will plan to take "aria-" proposal to Hypertext CG
- # [01:48] <MikeSmith> ... that is consensus of PF WG
- # [01:49] <MikeSmith> oedipus: Jim Allen wanted me to remind that HTML WG that since what they do is UA conformance, they would like to assist in any way possible with UA conformance section of HTML5 spec
- # [01:49] <MikeSmith> ... that is UAWG
- # [01:49] <Hixie> (actually if anyone does want me to add some sort of html diffing to the pipeline, what would be really useful would be if they could provide me with a web service where i could upload two html files and get back an html file with the diffs)
- # [01:49] <MikeSmith> Hixie - we now have such a tool
- # [01:49] <MikeSmith> will get the URL for you
- # [01:50] <Hixie> (that's basically how the pubrules and spec splitting things happen -- i have a web service on a separate computer on the internet that takes those two files and returns the files to upload)
- # [01:50] <Hixie> MikeSmith: cool
- # [01:51] <MikeSmith> oedipus: UAWG realizes it needs to work to get their concerns addressed by trying whenever possible to get accessibility features/considerations into core specs

- # [01:58] <RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2007/12/07-html-wg-minutes.html MikeSmith
- # [02:00] <oedipus> hixie, each time a new editors' draft is issued, there should be some way of semantically marking what has been added and changed since the last editors' draft, otherwise one has no context -- also need to know what is editorial and what is "substational/consunsus" -- as i said to mikeTMsmith, we need to promote the many means of monitoring the diffs and changes on the WG's home page because i don't think many people know about them and hance can't make use
- # [02:01] <Hixie> oedipus: so basically the diff should just be changes between the current draft and the previous one?
- # [02:01] <Hixie> that shouldn't be too hard
- # [02:01] <oedipus> hixie, for editors' drafts, yes
- # [02:02] <Hixie> k, let me set that up
- # [02:02] <oedipus> comprehensively diff-marked versions are for working drafts to mark progress from WD to WD, right?
- # [02:02] <oedipus> hixie, that would be great (the setting up thereof)
- # [02:03] <oedipus> hixie, the easy way to get markers in would be via CSS2, section 12, but support for pseudo-elements and generated content isn't very robust in either assisstive technology or UAs
- # [02:03] <MikeSmith> oedipus - yeah, main case for comprehensive diff marking is among published WDs
- # [02:04] <oedipus> mTMs, thanks, that's what i thought
- # [02:06] <oedipus> mikeTMsmit, FYI, the latest internal draft of the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG), 2.0, datestamped 7 november 2007, is located at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2007/WD-UAAG20-20071107/WD-UAAG20-20071107.html
- # [02:07] <oedipus> there's also the UAWG wiki: http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/wiki/FrontPage
- # [02:08] <oedipus> and UAAG 2.0 Requirements Document (31 October 2007): http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-UAAG20-requirements-20071031/
- # [02:09] <oedipus> even when a user agent exposes pseudo-elemental content, it is still VERY rarely available to an AT
- # [02:13] <MikeSmith> oedipus - OK
- # [02:17] <Hixie> MikeSmith: dude, that script doesn't use <ins> and <del> it uses spans :-P
- # [02:18] <oedipus> hixie, which script?
- # [02:18] * oedipus notes to mikeTMsmith that recording calls involves "informed consent" which can be a hassle
- # [02:19] <Hixie> oedipus: the diffing tool
- # [02:19] <MikeSmith> Hixie - that's one thing at least I can't claim to share any blame in. I'm not even sure who current maintainer of the backend script for that is
- # [02:19] <MikeSmith> I think Bert might now
- # [02:20] <oedipus> hixie, i have an action item for another group to suggest concrete changes to the default diffing tool and the lack of INS and DEL is on the top of the list
- # [02:20] <oedipus> mikeTMsmith, bert bos?
- # [02:21] <MikeSmith> oedipus - aye
- # [02:21] <Hixie> oedipus: cool
- # [02:21] <oedipus> or, if you'll pardon, the pun, boss!
- # [02:21] <oedipus> hixie, i absolutely love the ASIDE and similar semantic elements, by the way
- # [02:24] <MikeSmith> oedipus - source for that diff tool appears to be here:
- # [02:24] <MikeSmith> http://www.w3.org/2003/01/BB_htmldiff-0.4.tar.gz
- # [02:24] <MikeSmith> that is linked to from Bert's home page
- # [02:24] <oedipus> thanks, mikeTMsmith
- # [02:24] <MikeSmith> So I think he is the maintainer
- # [02:24] <oedipus> ok
- # [02:24] * Joins: timbl (timbl@209.6.134.246)

- # [02:25] <MikeSmith> sorry
- # [02:25] <oedipus> np
- # [02:25] <MikeSmith> the online tool is using a perl script
- # [02:25] * Joins: timbl_ (timbl@209.6.134.246)
- # [02:26] <Hixie> oops, i have the arguments backwards
- # [02:26] <oedipus> ah - is it somewhere like DBooth's perl script for generating minutes? that's in a naked dirctory with documentation

- # [02:27] <oedipus> mikeTMsmith, i can always inquire on the QA list
- # [02:27] <oedipus> dude, where's my DEL?
- # [02:29] <ChrisWilson> dude, you got a DEL.
- # [02:30] <Philip> http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/tools/htmldiff?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain ?
- # [02:30] <Philip> or http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2007/10/25/online_htmldiff_service links to a different fork of that code
- # [02:30] <oedipus> i have to say, as a DEVOtee, that i cringe everytime i hear DEVO used in advertising - although it is sometimes funny when their most anti-commercialist songs are used for advertisting ("it's a beautiful world")
- # [02:30] <oedipus> thanks, philip
- # [02:31] <MikeSmith> Philip - yeah, that's the one
- # [02:34] * oedipus tangentally notes that this dude did once have a DEL and it up-and-died on him -- that's how i found out that the sponsor of the better business bureau where DEL's corporate HQ is located is sponsored by DEL...
- # [02:40] * Quits: hober (ted@66.75.248.223) (Quit: ERC Version 5.2 (IRC client for Emacs))
- # [02:40] <Hixie> oedipus: ok, http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/index-diff now has a diff from the current editor's draft to whatever the last committed draft was
- # [02:40] <Hixie> and it gets generated whenever i run my update script
- # [02:40] <oedipus> mikeTMsmith: thanks for refreshing the minutes during the call, i still don't know how to get the buffer that's moved off the chat panel to scroll up and down so i can listen to it, so having the minutes updated during the call helps
- # [02:41] <oedipus> hixie, thank you VERY much i will check it out - and thanks for adding to your update script
- # [02:42] <Hixie> np
- # [02:42] <Hixie> this diffing script is pretty fast, and doesn't screw up <pre> blocks, i'm impressed
- # [02:43] <Hixie> i need to start using it in other projects in place of the diffing tools i'd used before
- # [02:44] * gavin wonders why oedipus addresses MikeSmith as "mikeTMsmith"
- # [02:44] <oedipus> hixie, i'll follow up on getting as many of the spans converted to "semantically appropriate" elements
- # [02:44] <Hixie> cool
- # [02:45] * oedipus says to gavin that mike's oft refers to himself as Mike (tm) Smith, and when i started using a braille input keyboard, i stopped using capitalization for the most part because it wastes time and space
- # [02:46] <oedipus> hixie, i'm glad it didn't screw anything up
- # [02:46] <gavin> ah, right
- # [02:46] <gavin> I actually knew that (that he included that in his name sometimes), but it didn't click
- # [02:47] <oedipus> people also ask me about my screen name's origin -- throughout my life, i have oft been called by a non-maternal 12-letter epithet - that, plus being blind equals "oedipus"
- # [02:50] <Philip> Hixie: It looks like <ins>text</ins> and <ins><a href="...">...</a></ins> have exactly the same styling, which confused me at first
- # [02:50] <MikeSmith> oedipus - thanks for letting me know about the issue with not being able to scroll back in chat buffer. I guess this argues for us to make a practice of refreshing the generated minutes during the call
- # [02:50] <oedipus> mikeTMsmith, that would be great -- perhaps you could slip a reference into the W3C guidebook?
- # [02:51] <oedipus> i don't know if tactile users (refreshable braille display) can scroll back -- i'll ask around
- # [02:52] <Philip> Uh, I mean <a href="..."><span class="diff-new">...</span></a>, not what I said with <ins>
- # [02:52] <gavin> oedipus: which IRC client do you use?
- # [02:53] <gavin_> ah, CTCP VERSION answered :)
- # [02:53] * Quits: timbl_ (timbl@209.6.134.246) (Connection reset by peer)
- # [02:53] * Joins: timbl (timbl@209.6.134.246)
- # [02:53] <oedipus> i used to use good old command line generic IRC but now i'm using mIRC with scripts called tIRC that work with 2 major screen readers or, if you don't have a screen reader, can use Microsoft Agent to become a self-voicing application
- # [02:55] <oedipus> i will post a pointer to tIRC, i'm trying to get together an "accessible collaborative resources" resource (like the w3c guidebook) for participants and other interested parties -- it is the best IRC experience since unix IRC -- can never get chatzilla to work
- # [02:55] <Philip> Hixie: Maybe 'a .diff-new { border-bottom: 1px blue solid; }' makes links still visible, though it's a bit ugly
- # [02:55] <Hixie> Philip: yeah, i you have any proposals for styles i'll stick them in; as it is, i just had to do something because the markup uses 'span' which has no default styles at all
- # [02:55] <oedipus> hixie, do you want me to CC you on my markup request to the systeam?
- # [02:55] <gavin_> oedipus: I'm not really familiar with how tIRC works, but perhaps you could send "PageUp" to read the back buffer?
- # [02:56] <oedipus> gavin, i'm sure there is a command -- it's highly configurable, i just spend too much time using IRC to learn the finer points of tIRC
- # [02:56] <gavin_> ah, ok
- # [02:56] <Hixie> Philip: added, reload to see new styles
- # [02:57] <Philip> Hixie: or maybe a .diff-new { color: inherit; border-bottom: 1px green solid; } or something - I don't really know :-)
- # [02:57] <Philip> Hixie: I guess that looks alright now
- # [02:58] <oedipus> gavin, if you are interested: http://www.talkingirc.net/
- # [02:58] <gavin_> thanks
- # [02:58] <oedipus> my pleasure
- # [03:00] <oedipus> when channels open, they do not do so maximized, but only whatever mIRC's default is, which is, apparently pretty constrained -- the only way to expand is to use arrow keys to move the mouse cursor along the title bar of the channel pane until one gets to the maximize button, but even then, one only gets what fits physically on the screen, unless, as i do when necessary, you open the log of the IRC session and read that to catch up
- # [03:01] <gavin_> oedipus: I just asked one of the ChatZilla developers whether there were any plugins for blind users - he says that it works relatively well with FireVox (http://firevox.clcworld.net/), but that there are some bugs that they're fixing for the next versions
- # [03:03] <gavin_> don't know if that was part of what you tried before
- # [03:03] <oedipus> yeah, i use FireVox regularly, but chatzilla is still a bear -- charles chen is a member of PF (protocols & formats http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF) and is collaborating with us on ARIA development and support
- # [03:05] <gavin_> ah, ok
- # [03:06] <gavin_> Gijs Kruitbosch is the guy I asked, you might know him - he was also involved in a few Mozilla-related accessibility initiatives
- # [03:06] <gavin_> anyhow, I suppose this discussion isn't quite on topic :)
- # [03:07] <oedipus> he also has a very cool extention/plugin called CLiCk, Speak which allows one to mark text to be spoken with a mouse -- he uses it to read mandarin content on the web, a language he knows aurally, but can't read visually -- http://clickspeak.clcworld.net/
- # [03:07] <oedipus> gavin, don't know gijs, but i have come across his work and recognize the name from the lists and fora
- # [03:08] * Joins: aroben_ (aroben@17.255.110.9)
- # [03:10] <MikeSmith> gavin_, oedipus - I heard that gijs is working on adding aria support to chatzilla
- # [03:10] <gavin> yeah, I think those are the bugs he was talking about
- # [03:10] * Joins: OedipusWrecked (oedipus@70.21.186.138)
- # [03:11] * Quits: oedipus (oedipus@70.21.186.138) (Ping timeout)
- # [03:11] <gavin_> ah, actually, that part appears to already be fixed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376728
- # [03:12] * OedipusWrecked says to gavin that i'm glad i reconnected in time to hear the bug's been fixed
- # [03:13] <gavin> he mentioned other bug that still remain to be fixed, though
- # [03:13] <gavin> he said they should be fixed by the time Firefox 3 is released
- # [03:13] <OedipusWrecked> good - i test every build of FF3/Minefield
- # [03:14] <OedipusWrecked> they are supposed to fix the broken autocomplete run amok bug that entered the beta build 4 days ago

- # [03:15] * Joins: aroben_ (aroben@17.255.110.9)
- # [03:15] <gavin_> OedipusWrecked: ah, indeed! I actually reviewed that patch :)
- # [03:15] <OedipusWrecked> i admit that what ARIA needs is a DTD or schema for validation
- # [03:15] <gavin_> should be fixed in the latest build, I think
- # [03:15] <OedipusWrecked> hooray

- # [03:16] * Joins: hyatt (hyatt@17.203.14.203)
- # [03:18] <OedipusWrecked> gavin, that's great - still think i need to write an extension that allows one to enter a URI through an input mechanism other than the location bar
- # [03:19] <gavin_> well, you can do File->Open Location when the location bar is removed or in a collapsed toolbar
- # [03:19] <gavin_> but that's actually rather similar to the location bar, so I'm not sure that would help
- # [03:20] <OedipusWrecked> i was emailing with marco zehe on this - a user might want one place with autocomplete on and one with it off or both or neither
- # [03:20] <OedipusWrecked> the SeaMonkey property sheets that control autocomplete action need to be ported to FF
- # [03:21] <gavin_> ah, yeah, the "Open Location" dialog also uses an autocomplete widget
- # [03:22] <OedipusWrecked> well, like one commenter said when trying it with narrator "zoinks"
- # [03:23] * Joins: timbl_ (timbl@209.6.134.246)
