- # [10:33] <fantasai> Mike: So the issue is .. we've had this discussion a lot ourselves
- # [10:33] <fantasai> Mike: I think there's general consensus to split out certain parts of the spec
- # [10:33] <fantasai> Mike: The issue is do we have editors that are willing to work on these separate parts. That's been the iggest blocking factor

- # [10:36] <fantasai> Mike: But we didn't have an editor, so we merged it into the HTML5 spec

- # [10:37] <fantasai> Hixie: there's too much stuff that relies on it
- # [10:38] <fantasai> Hixie: The remote event target would be a better choice. That's a reasonably self-contained thing. i'd estimate 5 hours a week for a few months and then 1 hour a week for a year
- # [10:38] <fantasai> ??: ... might get more people to volunteer if you have chunks like 5 hours / week
- # [10:38] <fantasai> Hixie: The more trivial sections are done
- # [10:38] <fantasai> Hixie: Stuff like canvas etc. that are 40 hours a week for a year, those are where we really need eidtors
- # [10:38] <fantasai> Hixie: Particularly rendering view
- # [10:39] <fantasai> Hixie: that really is a separate document
- # [10:39] <fantasai> Hixie: The section that defines legacy attributes
- # [10:39] <fantasai> Mike: If you look at the current spec, that section says "to come"
- # [10:39] <fantasai> Hixie: It didn't really make sense to define it until about now.
- # [10:39] <fantasai> Mike: What we expect from having a discusison with the TAG, one of the tangible things we can talk about
- # [10:40] * MichaelC thinks it should be possible to come with strategies to edit sections of the doc that aren't trivial, but don't require 40 hours / week either (happy medium in commitment and value)
- # [10:40] * DanC_lap realizes we blew by the break time
- # [10:40] <fantasai> Mike: ... we do have time set aside tomorrow to go through and look at the spec section by section and decide which parts of it are mature and stable with an eye towards what we're ready to write testcases for.
- # [10:40] <fantasai> Mike: But also look at what sections we can split out and look for editors for
- # [10:40] <fantasai> Mike: Then we could make proposals about parts of the spec that could be taken on by separate editors
- # [10:40] <fantasai> Mike: And if we have a concrete list, an assesment about which parts and what level of effort would be needed to maintain that part of the spec
- # [10:41] <fantasai> Mika: Then we could maybe get more people interested in parts of the spec
- # [10:41] <fantasai> Hixie: I've been privately approaching people. Also someone from Opera recently asked about working on the timer starts
- # [10:41] <fantasai> Hixie: Some sections are marked "i'm looking for an editor"

- # [10:42] <fantasai> Hixie: Timer is a good example of how hard it is to estimate time needed
- # [10:42] <fantasai> Hixie: between the time when I first started looking for ane editor and now, the work tripled
- # [10:42] <fantasai> Hixie: because the webapps group became looking at a next-generation timing ...
- # [10:42] <fantasai> Hixie: the problem we had with the window object was that we thought it was very small, 2-line api
- # [10:43] <fantasai> Hixie: And now it's a third of the spec, and the editor couldn't cope with what became the scope of the work.
- # [10:43] <fantasai> Hsivonen: Another thing is that the editor to do a good job needs to have extended exposure to the bug database of a browser engine
- # [10:43] <fantasai> Hixie: or preferably more than one
- # [10:43] <fantasai> Hsivonen: And there aren't very many people with that kind of exposure.

- # [11:23] <dbaron> s/forma artifcat/formal artifact/
- # [11:23] <fantasai> Henry: There are two issus, one is whether the spec for the formal language is a separate spec, the other is whether that is defined.
- # [11:23] <fantasai> Henry: Is there such an authoring spec?
- # [11:24] <fantasai> Hixie: There has always been an intent to have that.
- # [11:24] <fantasai> Hixie: There are two: one is a stylesheet applied to the spec, the other is a non-normative guide.
- # [11:24] <fantasai> Tim: ... the parts that define the valid document and that that define error-recovery are separate and flagged differently.
- # [11:25] <anne> (Simon being Simon Pieters)
- # [11:25] <fantasai> Tim: ... synchronization with the spec

- # [11:25] <fantasai> Hixie: I'd like to epmhasize that the spec is not just for browsers, but for all user agents

- # [11:26] <dbaron> s/Noah?/Noah/
- # [11:26] * karl talking about authoring spec
- # [11:26] <fantasai> Noah: One lurking issue is to what extent you believe that over a period of 5-10 years, most user agents will do pretty much what the spec you're writing says.
- # [11:27] <fantasai> Hixie: Over a period of 5-10 years either the browsers will change to match the spec, or the spec will change to match the browser.
- # [11:27] * CWilso notes that now that I ran upstairs to change to a warmer shirt, they've cranked up the heat. Sigh.
- # [11:27] <fantasai> Noah: Browsers do crazy stuff. They will keep parsing through tag soup, everything but the kitchen sink.
- # [11:27] <fantasai> Noah: What about parsers for other applications. Will they do the same quirky stuff?

- # [11:28] <fantasai> Noah: And try to get people to write that.
- # [11:28] <fantasai> Noah: Over time that that becomes the language spec.
- # [11:28] <fantasai> Noah: It becomes a contract between authors and consumers
- # [11:29] <fantasai> Noah: The spec I would ideally like to see would be an HTML5 spec that isn't mentally for authors, but is the language spec, that says this is a table, this is ..

- # [11:31] <timbl> q+ to point out to Naoh that n this case he does NOT want to se the proposed contract as in that model it has the full error recovery. In fact authors write who write in the clean subset of the language will enjor a document for that subset. But the contact with browsers. The contact in the HTML5 browser is not HTML5 conformance.
- # [11:31] * Zakim sees Lachy, timbl, hsivonen on the speaker queue

- # [14:34] <Lachy> ... The first issue is namespaces
- # [14:34] <hsivonen> q+
- # [14:34] * Zakim sees hsivonen on the speaker queue
- # [14:34] <Lachy> ... If you have a namespace attribute, what happens to it in the DOM?
- # [14:35] <Lachy> Hixie: This may change, but the current proposal is that if you have MathML in the document, the xmlns attribute will be in the DOM, but must have mathml namespace
- # [14:35] <Lachy> ... the DOM nodes will be in MathML namespace
- # [14:35] <CharlieWiecha> LInk to Forms-A document with controls in the XForms namespace: http://ubiquity-xforms.googlecode.com/svn/branches/webforms-a/_samples/Loan/xforms-webforms-a-loan.html
- # [14:35] <Lachy> Neil: Often people put in private attributes
- # [14:35] <CharlieWiecha> The above form should load (FF3 at least) directly from SVN
- # [14:35] * Quits: alexmog (alexmog@81.253.26.25) (Ping timeout)
- # [14:35] * Quits: Joshue (Joshue@81.253.25.94) (Quit: Quitting!)
- # [14:35] <Lachy> Hixie: The non-mathml stuff will appear in no namespace, non-mathml xmlns declarations will be ignored
- # [14:36] <hsivonen> q?
- # [14:36] * Zakim sees hsivonen on the speaker queue
- # [14:36] <Lachy> Hixie: There are constraints with what we can do with namespaces.
- # [14:36] <CharlieWiecha> Form in HTML namespace (though this one seems to have trouble loading, pls use as syntax example for now): http://ubiquity-xforms.googlecode.com/svn/branches/webforms-a/_samples/Loan/webforms-a-loan.html
- # [14:36] <DanC_lap> <math> <special:stuff /> </math> <-- special:stuff goes in the mathml namespace, if I'm following
- # [14:36] <Lachy> ... main aim is to support MathML, not other proprietary things
- # [14:36] * Quits: Adam (Adam@81.253.23.137) (Quit: The computer fell asleep)
- # [14:37] <gsnedders> DanC_lap: correct
- # [14:37] <Lachy> Neil: There is a problem related to Open Math
- # [14:37] <MikeSmith> ack hsivonen
- # [14:37] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [14:37] <gsnedders> DanC_lap: with a localName of special:stuff

- # [14:37] <DanC_lap> <math> <mx special:attr="abc"> </math> <-- special:attr goes in no namespace, if I'm following
- # [14:37] <gsnedders> DanC_lap: Again, correct
- # [14:38] <Lachy> Neil: The issue is not the browser support, but the ability to copy-paste and maintain the semantics
- # [14:38] <Lachy> hsivonen: non-mathml content will end up in no namespace
- # [14:38] <anne> http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tree-construction.html#parsing-main-inforeign has details
- # [14:38] <pimpbot> Title: 8.2.5 Tree construction HTML 5 (at www.whatwg.org)
- # [14:39] <Lachy> Hixie: Because of the constraints, if we wanted to support open math, we would have to explicitly include that in the spec
- # [14:39] <DanC_lap> hmm... that last example with presentation/semantics/content ... I'd like to see an example. I don't think I can cook one up
- # [14:39] <Lachy> ... The line was drawn at HTML, MathML and SVG
- # [14:39] <Lachy> Neil: People want to style the text they have inside <mtext>
- # [14:39] <anne> hsivonen, it seems "semantics" is not supported
- # [14:39] <Lachy> ... What are the rules inside of <mtext> and you encounter an HTML element, when does it revert to MathML ns?
- # [14:39] <anne> hsivonen, that is, what you're saying about semantics is not what happens
- # [14:40] <anne> hsivonen, it's true for <mtext> though
- # [14:40] <MikeSmith> q?
- # [14:40] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [14:40] <Lachy> Hixie: <mglyph> will be in the mathml ns, other things will be assumed to be HTML

- # [14:40] <hsivonen> anne, sorry. it's <semantics-xml>
- # [14:40] <Lachy> Neil: there is legacy mathml designed to work in IE with plugin
- # [14:40] <Lachy> ... I sent an email about a year ago, what's the status of dealing with this legacy?
- # [14:40] <anne> hsivonen, doesn't change anything unless I'm missing something in the parsing algorithm
- # [14:41] <Lachy> Hixie: if there are no prefixes, it should just work
- # [14:41] <Lachy> Neil: IE requires teh prefix
- # [14:41] <timeless> s/teh/the/
- # [14:41] <Lachy> hsivonen: That doesn't seem to match my testing with MPlayer
- # [14:41] * timeless ? mplayer??

- # [14:42] * timeless notes that MPlayer usually means something quite different, and that's a namespace violation :)

- # [14:42] * Joins: Joshue (Joshue@81.253.29.255)

- # [16:21] * Joins: Al (alfredsgil@81.253.44.48)
- # [16:21] <Hixie> mjs, maybe their use cases aren't relevant, or won't apply to html5, and that would be good for them to know

- # [16:25] <darobin> mjs, as we say in French, absent people are always wrong
- # [16:25] <Lachy> ... about half way down the wiki page
- # [16:25] <mjs> sicking, let's say you are writing a web app that lets you select a range from an audio or video clip and then play that
- # [16:26] <Lachy> ... Smart headers algorithm, TH referencing TH, etc.
- # [16:26] <nessy> mjs, media fragment URIs allow you to do just that: play a fragment
- # [16:26] <Lachy> ... Smart Headers is a good algorithm
- # [16:26] <Hixie> mjs, for that use case, you'd use javascript anyway, so no need for anything but the existing js api
- # [16:26] <Lachy> ... Allowing headers="" to reference a TD element
- # [16:26] <mjs> nessy, but they don't let you change what fragment is referred to without having to construct a new URI
- # [16:26] <Lachy> ... is also an elegant solution

- # [16:27] <nessy> mjs, what's the difference between changing a URI in a href attribute and changing the start and end attributes?
- # [16:27] <mjs> Hixie, so you don't mean to remove the equivalents of this stuff in the JS API?
- # [16:27] <Lachy> BenMillard: At the moment, Firefox doesn't do anything with scope or headers
- # [16:27] <Hixie> mjs, i wouldn't suggest removing curentTime and the cue range API, which is what you'd use for this.
- # [16:27] <Lachy> AlGilman: But it's all in the DOM, even though it doesn't do anything special with them
- # [16:27] <mjs> nessy, creating a specially formatted string is a sloppy API design
- # [16:27] <Hixie> mjs, seek to the start, cue a pause at the end, and play
- # [16:27] <mjs> Hixie, that doesn't let you actually change the range that the play controls reflect
- # [16:27] * Joins: maddiin (mc@87.185.238.22)
- # [16:28] <Hixie> mjs, nor do the existing attributes
- # [16:28] * Philip reminds gsnedders that success is power, so he should fail less in order to stop his battery running out
- # [16:28] <Lachy> Michael Cooper: A lot of accessibility is done through the acessibility API and would require the UA to do a mapping from the HTML DOM to that API
- # [16:28] <Lachy> ... But it's also done through the DOM for web content
- # [16:28] <mjs> Hixie, what do you mean? I would expect if start and end are specified, the little slider thing goes between start and end, not the full time range of the underlying media item
- # [16:28] <Hixie> mjs: what if loopend is after end?
- # [16:29] <anne> s/mjs:/mjs,/
- # [16:29] <Hixie> anne: i'm not scribe, it doesn't matter if i have a colon
- # [16:29] <anne> s/mjs:/mjs,/g
- # [16:29] <mjs> Hixie, the loop attributes make things more complicated, presumably you need the union of {start, end} and {loopstart, loopend} to be presented
- # [16:29] <Lachy> Joshue; it's important to bear in mind the limited support for scope="" in current UA and AT
- # [16:30] <MikeSmith> q?
- # [16:30] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [16:30] <mjs> Hixie, I tentatively agree that fine-grained loop control is probably more complex than justified
- # [16:30] <Hixie> mjs, i don't really understand the use case you are presenting, but i really should pay more attention to the room
- # [16:30] <mjs> Hixie, although "just do it in script" is not a good solution for looping
- # [16:30] <Lachy> MikeSmith: Is there a time line for when you'll get to the remaining table headers feedback?
- # [16:31] <nessy> mjs, we will have a boolean loop attribute
- # [16:31] <Lachy> Hixie: I'll get to it when I get to it, but I can prioritise it if there are vendors that need me to
- # [16:31] <nessy> mjs, that's an independent issue
- # [16:31] <mjs> nessy, a string syntax is not a substitute for a proper API (though an ok way to specify things declaratively)
- # [16:31] <Lachy> AlGilman: This is not an urgent matter, because in the short term people can still use headers="" in HTML4
- # [16:31] <nessy> mjs, there already is an API to control media resources

- # [16:39] * Zakim sees no one on the speaker queue
- # [16:40] <Joshue> From the PF meeting we found an issue around the use of terminology in this issue. Conceptual headers, chained headers, nested headers etc are all essentially the same. I would like to see the terminology tied up so we are all on the same page. This could help the process all round.
- # [16:40] * mjs did not see the feedback Hixie referred to that would suggest removal of time control or that it lacked a use case, would appreciate a pointer

- # [17:04] <anne> HS: one of the important things for adding something to the platform requires a rollout strategy that cannot be blocked by a browser vendor
- # [17:04] <anne> HS: e.g. ARIA, the way it was defined it could not be ignored; though it did end up being implemented by all four in record time

- # [17:06] <anne> JS (sicking): I think with having OpenID in the browser will solve that problem

- # [17:19] * Hixie wonders whether jr's comments mean that IETF doesn't care about UAs :-)
- # [17:20] <anne> JR: the issue is as follows. you do a GET request. server wants you to authenticate. can do a 200 with HTML form
- # [17:20] <anne> ... works extremely badly with clients that are not HTML clients
- # [17:20] <anne> ... or you can use 401 and then you've got a problem in HTML agents that they pop up a dialog most designers and people running servers don't like

- # [17:22] <hhalpin> CWilson - that was my understanding as well, but I was not sure if that had ever happened yet. Thus my point that if HTML5 gets in this space, then maybe asking some advice from experts from LiveID, Passport, Liberty, OpenID, etc. and some data is the way to go. Also, could this activity, which sounds large, be done at HTML5 or somewhere else that integrates with HTML5?
- # [17:22] <anne> TR: [..] this is a rather large ocean. in the CABForum they are trying to find out what the obstacles are with client side PKI
