  26. # [05:53] <MikeSmith> "Brian Birtles and Daniel Holbert have massively cleaned up and simplified the SMIL patch so that it's ready for landing. This is just the basic SMIL infrastructure --- considerably more work is required to implement all the features of SVG Animation --- but it's a great base to build on."

  31. # [06:05] <MikeSmith> yep
  32. # [06:05] <MikeSmith> they're also making read access to their source repository public
  33. # [06:07] <MikeSmith> and (I think) putting into place some mechanism for enabling chosen non-Trolltech/Nokia committers

  37. # [06:13] <MikeSmith> shepazu: also, Qt 4.5 ships with the Qt WebKit port as an integrated component
  38. # [06:14] <MikeSmith> so I'd imagine the adoption of LPGL for Qt could mean that WebKit will show up a few more places than it has so far
  39. # [06:15] <shepazu> sweet, MikeSmith
  40. # [06:17] <MikeSmith> yeah, I know I'm sweet.
  41. # [06:17] <MikeSmith> sweet like sorghum molasses

  44. # [06:24] <MikeSmith> shepazu: I think that joke should be title "Missouri Wisdom"
  45. # [06:25] <shepazu> MikeSmith: well, I heard it from a guy from Mississippi, just recently

  49. # [06:27] <MikeSmith> Nishi-Shinjuku
  50. # [06:27] <MikeSmith> right next to Chuo-koen
  51. # [06:27] <shepazu> I thought you were from Ala-bama
  52. # [06:29] <MikeSmith> I lived in Montgomery for 1 year
  53. # [06:29] <MikeSmith> then I lived in Ohio for a while
  54. # [06:30] <MikeSmith> later in Texas
  55. # [06:30] <shepazu> that alabama stink must still be on you, son
  56. # [06:32] <MikeSmith> Texas is actually a separate country, and native Texans allow the rest of the US to consider it a state
  57. # [06:32] <shepazu> don't I wish!
  58. # [06:33] <shepazu> they can have that hick-hole
  59. # [06:33] <shepazu> even austin and san antonio aren't enough to redeem it
  60. # [06:33] <shepazu> I've lived in texas
  61. # [06:34] <shepazu> we should give it back to mexico, as punishment for letting so many immigrants leave their country
  62. # [06:35] <shepazu> although I do like parts of west texas, like palo dura canyon

  351. # [18:09] <Joshue> I don't like the fact that @summary has been dropped. This was a unilateral decision and I think the wider group should consulted. Without this process @summary wioll have little to no chance of being reinstated.

  586. # [18:43] * Zakim sees hsivonen on the speaker queue
  587. # [18:43] <cyns> anne, the language should tell the author what is valid, but not necessarily what content is equivalent.
  588. # [18:44] <takkaria> I'm not sure what quite what use defining a language is if you don't define how to use it in certain situations
  589. # [18:44] <rubys> matt: DreamWeaver gives you options, but if you don't make a decision, no alt tag is generated, and I consider that a "pass"
  590. # [18:45] <jgraham> FWIW I guess not putting information about alt usage in HTML 5 will jsut mean fewer authors are exposed to that information

  593. # [18:45] * Zakim sees hsivonen, masinter on the speaker queue
  594. # [18:45] <anne> cyns, why not? the author needs to know how to write the language properly
  595. # [18:46] <masinter> this is a case where defining what the language *means* independently of how authors should author and browsers should interpret is a good idea
  596. # [18:46] <anne> cyns, the language specification should tell the author how to properly include an image, imo

  601. # [18:46] * Zakim sees hsivonen, masinter on the speaker queue
  602. # [18:46] <rubys> matt: having the validators be the gatekeeper has provided significant value in the past
  603. # [18:46] <masinter> alt="" means something different than 'no alt'.
  604. # [18:47] <dsinger> the assumption that HTML generation is coincident with a person who knows what the non-text content is like, is not tenable
  605. # [18:47] <masinter> different requirements on interpreters and generators
  606. # [18:47] <cyns> anne, examples, yes, but not every possible scenario. fine in an authoring guide, but it and WCAG should be single-sourced in that case

  612. # [18:47] <anne> cyns, but WCAG is for accessibility, doesn't cover e.g. search engines or text browsers
  613. # [18:47] <takkaria> how can you talk about waht a language means independently of how people should understand it?
  614. # [18:48] <DanC> (pointer to relevant part of ATAG docs, anyone?)
  615. # [18:48] <rubys> hsivonen: authoring tools should do what DreamWeaver does, and believe that that ATAC 2.0 should direct tools to do what DW does
  616. # [18:48] <dsinger> not all HTML is made by interactive tools...
  617. # [18:48] <rubys> s/ATAC/ATAG/
  618. # [18:48] <shepazu> so, if the government requires that content for government web content follow WCAG guidelines, then there will be market pressure for an authoring tool to force/encourage authors to add alt text, regardless of whether it is is for HTML or WCAG validity
  619. # [18:49] <masinter> there are different constraints on the content and on the tools for generating content
  620. # [18:49] <rubys> hsivonen: we shouldn't make HTML5 require that some streams that can be generated using ATAG guides be considered non-conforming
  621. # [18:49] * Julian thinks we're just repeating a discussion that has ben going on for months on the mailing list. Does it really make sense to do that here?

  631. # [18:51] <rubys> masinter: if you try to do everything in one specification, it will be hard to read and contain a lot of information that is irrelevant to many classes of users.
  632. # [18:51] * DanC is particularly interested to hear from folks who aren't satisfied with the current editor's draft

  699. # [19:01] <gsnedders> I'm +1 on "legacy-compat" and -1 on "" too
  700. # [19:01] <masinter> is the objection that the word 'legacy' is pejorative?
  701. # [19:01] <Lachy> the only problem with legacy-compat is that it's not entirely clear that it's meant for compat with legacy generator tools, like XSLT, rather than legacy consumers like browsers
  702. # [19:01] <rubys> chriswilson: I'm not happy with legacy-compat, it implies that something is wrong.
