  14. # [00:54] <Lachy> karl, I don't understand how quoting the description of a Working Draft No Longer In Development from the process document is relevant to the intention of Working Draft still in active development that claims normativity, to reach a recommendation?

  84. # [09:42] <MikeSmith> Lachy: the reply that I sent to Maciej in that thread is one I wrote after taking a break and getting some sunshine
  85. # [09:43] <MikeSmith> (though not literally since it's been cold and raining all day here)
  86. # [09:43] <MikeSmith> the ones I sent to you before that, I sent after getting up on the wrong side of the bed (as they say)
  87. # [09:56] <Lachy> ok, finished reading...
  88. # [09:58] <Lachy> MikeSmith, re http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jan/0619.html - because the first statement is predicated on the assumption that the draft itself will be normative, and that it will contain conformance requirements
  89. # [09:58] <pimpbot> Title: Re: Who is the Intended Audience of the Markup Spec Proposal? from Michael(tm) Smith on 2009-01-30 (public-html@w3.org from January 2009) (at lists.w3.org)
  90. # [09:59] <Lachy> what's wrong with describing it as an adjuct to HTML 5? It means "Added or connected in a [...] auxiliary capacity", which seems like a fairly accurate description to me
  91. # [10:00] <MikeSmith> Lachy: I see what you're saying, but I can't say I agree that the first statement is predicated on the draft being normative.
  92. # [10:01] <Lachy> It says "intended to conform to the requirements [this document] describes". That suggests it contains conformance criteria, which indicates normativity
  93. # [10:02] <MikeSmith> that's what I changed it to "describes"
  94. # [10:02] <MikeSmith> and I guess I don't like "adjunct" because of what it seems to me to connote
  95. # [10:02] <Lachy> what does it connote to you?
  96. # [10:03] <MikeSmith> like "adjunct professor" -- the guy who's around to teach for one semester because the regular professor got sick or died
  97. # [10:03] <MikeSmith> or "adjunct professor" who's the first guy to get layed off when they need to do staffing cuts
  98. # [10:04] <MikeSmith> anyway, what it really gets down to is that this document is meant to stand alone as a document within the confines of the scope it sets for itself
  99. # [10:05] <Lachy> My purpose in describing like that was to find a way to make it clear that it's not intended, and doesn't need, to contain everything defined in HTML5, like DOM APIs or parsing requirements or whatever else. Rather it provides auxillary material to be used in conjunction with the spec
  100. # [10:06] <Lachy> I don't really see how it could be used in a standalone manner, since it doesn't cover all the needs of any one particular audience
  101. # [10:07] <Lachy> and, the way I see it, its utility for producers is limited due to the innappropriate nature of RelaxNG schemas and regex's for descrribing content models in a human readable way
  102. # [10:10] <MikeSmith> true, I do agree that in reality many or most authors don't restrict themselves to using a single reference source when they are trying to figure out how to write HTML documents
  103. # [10:10] <pimpbot> bugmail: "[Bug 6502] should the canvas element be omitted from h:tml draft?" (1 message in thread) <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-bugzilla/2009Jan/0058.html>
  104. # [10:11] <MikeSmith> and this draft is certainly not meant to be all things to all people
  105. # [10:14] <MikeSmith> but if a qualifying statement of some kind (like what you proposed) were to be added to audience statement, it would seem to me to be more useful to say it's intended to be used in conjunction with all the other ways you have at your means for learning about how to use HTML correctly
  106. # [10:14] <MikeSmith> and not just the HTML5 draft itself
  107. # [10:15] <Lachy> that's a fair point
  108. # [10:18] <Lachy> I'll be ok with any statement that indicates its utility for assisting with checking markup conformance (since that's what schemas are useful for) and that it's intended to be used in conjunction with the spec and authoring guides
  109. # [10:19] <MikeSmith> Lachy: OK, I will try to draft up something. Right now I'm writing a reply to Hixie about the same thing.
  110. # [10:20] <Lachy> cool.

  118. # [11:06] <MikeSmith> cool
  119. # [11:07] <MikeSmith> so, getting somewhere closer at least
  120. # [11:07] <Lachy> although the 2nd and 3rd points indicate some overlap with the HTML 5 Reference
  121. # [11:07] <Lachy> I guess that's unavoidable
  122. # [11:08] <MikeSmith> I plan to make some more tweaks and get them checked in, but I'm probably not going to be able to get around to it until next week
  123. # [11:09] <Lachy> my only remaining concern about it is describing it as authoritative, which, due to the limitations of schemas, it may not be
  124. # [11:09] <Lachy> but I'm willing to concede that the limitations could be adequately addressed in prose alongside the schemas

  212. # [23:03] <Lachy> hey, if hypothetically, Mike's draft does proceed as a normative document, how would it get past CR without being able to demonstrate 2 interoperable implementations? How can you have interoperable implementations when the spec contains no implemenetation conformance criteria?
