- # [11:40] <Philip> zcorpan: The data doesn't have newlines, unless I'm misunderstanding
- # [11:41] <Philip> Each line is just url, tab, line-of-content
- # [11:42] <Philip> so I'm not sure what the problem is

- # [11:50] <anne> e.g. by pressing Ctrl+F11

- # [11:52] <anne> yes
- # [11:53] <zcorpan> i don't have fit-to-width enabled
- # [11:53] <zcorpan> we split lines after a certain amount of characters or pixels, i think

- # [14:56] * anne wonders why rubys is intentionally not asking about all the other things
- # [14:56] <anne> all the questions about whether the rest of the WG thinks <font color> should be conforming or not confuses me a lot
- # [14:58] <Lachy> the font color thread has turned into a bikeshed, despite the fact that we already argued about and decided to remove <font> entirely from conforming HTML5 in all cases a year or two ago.
- # [14:59] <jgraham> It seems we are now allowed to talk about <font size> too, otherwise the Google example is impermissible
- # [14:59] <anne> technically we've only decide to publish a bunch of drafts so everything is open for discussion
- # [15:00] <anne> and that part is fine
- # [15:00] <anne> I just have the feeling we're filling in some kind of puzzle where only rubys has the reference
- # [15:01] <Philip> I'm assuming the idea is to derive some general principle in a bottom-up way by examining a specific case so people don't get lost in the generalities
- # [15:01] <jgraham> So instead we get lost in the specifics?
- # [15:01] <anne> dunno, I just get lost because I realize this cannot be possible the real question
- # [15:02] <jgraham> It does feel like we are being asked to play along some game where we haven't been told the rules. I duon't know if it is intentional that it should feel like that but it does.
- # [15:02] <anne> s/possible//
- # [15:02] <anne> jgraham, exactly
- # [15:03] <Lachy> I thought it was just a rhetorical question at first. Then people started discussing it legitimately
- # [15:03] <hsivonen> anne: It's pretty clear that <font color> is a rhetorical trap
- # [15:03] <anne> I'm not sure it's a trap
- # [15:05] <anne> at least, not intentionally so; in the past rubys has done similar things (e.g. focusing on the title) and he was not amused by the accusation of playing games, though it certainly felt that way
- # [15:05] <hsivonen> well, it's a thing where what you say will probably be generalized against something else you say
- # [15:05] <Philip> If people disagree on whether <font color> should be conforming, it indicates some fundamental disagreements that are largely independent of issues like accessibility, and the discussion might result in agreement on arguments that can be similarly applied to issues like @summary
- # [15:05] <jgraham> It seems quite trap-like. Although clearly I proded at it directly
- # [15:05] <Philip> or something like that
- # [15:06] <anne> Philip, yeah, but I'd rather we do not have to infer the intentions all the time, but people just state them
- # [15:09] <jgraham> I think the problem might be that you state an opinion on specific topic A and agree that it is OK to solve A in way B. But then topic C comes along and you are told that B implies D even though you disagree with D. So you either end up with unhappy people or the tower collapses and you start again
- # [15:09] <jgraham> Which is basically what hsivonen said
- # [15:13] <anne> the other thing is, people realize the answer has implications
- # [15:19] <zcorpan> "In fact, though HTML5 is not yet done, SVG inline in text/html already works in special experimental builds of Firefox and Opera" - http://schepers.cc/?p=133
- # [15:19] <pimpbot> Title: Reinventing Fire Blog Archive Platform Games (at schepers.cc)
- # [15:20] <zcorpan> wonder which build of Opera
- # [15:21] * hsivonen wondered, too
- # [15:21] <anne> you could ask ed
- # [15:22] <anne> ed_work, hey, we have SVG in text/html support?
- # [15:26] <zcorpan> shepazu: ^
- # [15:28] <zcorpan> anne: v.nu already has a message grouping feature
- # [15:29] <zcorpan> anne: making it just one message would make it harder to fix since you have to validate several times to find all instances
- # [15:30] <anne> it could say multiple instance of font elements
- # [15:30] <anne> searching for <font within your file is not rocket science
- # [15:31] <zcorpan> what's the benefit over what v.nu does now?
- # [15:31] * Joins: billyjackass (MikeSmith@mcclure.w3.org)
- # [15:31] <anne> cognitive load is less
- # [15:32] <zcorpan> would you do this for just font or other kinds of errors too?
- # [15:32] <anne> depends on the type I suppose
- # [15:33] <anne> <center> is pretty much the same
- # [15:33] <anne> bunch of bgcolor attributes on <td> too
- # [15:34] <zcorpan> it says "The font element is obsolete" - same for center. it seems useful to highlight each occurrence
- # [15:34] <zcorpan> if you click the "group messages" button, it will be just one such message

- # [15:37] <anne> even when grouped it still shows "Error: Attribute size not allowed on element font at this point."
- # [15:38] <zcorpan> that seems like a bug
- # [15:38] * Joins: hsivonen (hsivonen@130.233.41.50)
- # [15:38] <zcorpan> since <font size> i valid html4 transitional
- # [15:39] <anne> regardless, if you tell me <font> is obsolete you don't need to tell me <font size> is also obsolete :)
- # [15:41] <zcorpan> hsivonen: add size, color and face to the schema for font
- # [15:45] <anne> what if I have <font x>
- # [15:45] <zcorpan> then it will whine about x
- # [15:45] <anne> that seems wrong
- # [15:46] <zcorpan> which seems fine since it's probably a typo for size, color or face
- # [15:46] <anne> if something bigger is already wrong it does not make sense to also complain about that
- # [15:46] <zcorpan> why not?
- # [15:46] <anne> because then i might waste time on fixing typos rather than addressing the issue
- # [15:47] <zcorpan> depends on whether you care about the fact that font is obsolete or whether you just wonder why your text isn't red
- # [15:47] <MikeSmith> zcorpan: the current schema doesn't contain the complete content models for the obsolete elements. I assigned an issue to myself to add them
- # [15:47] <pimpbot> changes: h:tml; fixed problem that was preventing attribute descriptions for ins and del elements from getting picked up correctly <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-diffs/2009Jun/0113.html>
- # [15:47] <zcorpan> MikeSmith: ok
- # [15:48] <anne> presumably the goal is to get conforming markup
- # [15:48] <MikeSmith> zcorpan: once those are added, it will prevent those redundant messages from being reported
- # [15:49] <anne> can you just say that every attribute is allowed on <font>?
- # [15:49] <anne> just like with <embed>
- # [15:50] <hsivonen> I just tried adding face, size and color, but I forgot that the file moved in svn
- # [15:50] <hsivonen> trying again now
- # [15:50] <zcorpan> anne: getting conforming markup might not be the goal for everyone
- # [15:51] <anne> given past experience I'd say that it's the majority goal of people using validators
- # [15:52] <zcorpan> i've seen people being happy when they've fixed their unintentional mistakes
- # [15:52] <hsivonen> the great thing about having tens of thousands of test cases is that even a permille level of failure means analyzing tens of test cases

- # [16:39] <jgraham> Although there could be other side effects
- # [16:39] <zcorpan> Hixie: you should maybe add a rule that prevents page break between the h4 and dl.element
- # [16:40] <anne> jgraham, planting trees has short term negative impact iirc
- # [16:42] <jgraham> anne: I would guess that replacing mature trees with young ones is bad. But you should probably also consider the effect of providing employment to the local population relative to other possible ways that they could find work
