- # [18:15] <tantek> darobin - I haven't caught up on that thread
- # [18:15] <tantek> figured I'd give it some time to flameout
- # [18:17] <darobin> which thread :) there are quite a few
- # [18:17] <darobin> this is sustainable energy
- # [18:18] <ShaneM> It feels like the same argument people have been having forever. "Your group is too slow, we will do it on our own." "Well, your new group lacks formalism, so we won't use your work". Happens all the time. I have been through like 5 different standards organizations that all arose for these same reasons.
- # [18:18] <darobin> I wish it were that simple in this case :)
- # [18:18] <ShaneM> And I used to be you, darobin. The young energetic guy who wants to fix everything. Now I'm the old guy. When did that happen?
- # [18:21] <darobin> I'm the young energetic guy who wants to fix everything?
- # [18:21] <darobin> man, I thought I was over that phase ten years ago
- # [18:21] <tantek> ShaneM - it's expected that different standards orgs have different cultures and values
- # [18:21] <ShaneM> nope darobin, sorry. you are not yet completely jaded.
- # [18:21] <ShaneM> are you coming to TPAC?
- # [18:22] <darobin> ShaneM: trust me, by the end of the URL discussion I will be
- # [18:22] <darobin> yup!
- # [18:22] <ShaneM> tantek: I agree. Of course I agree. It is just what I hear when I see arguments like this. Hell, we had this argument between ANSI and ISO in.... 1985? Can't remember. Ages ago.
- # [18:22] <tantek> the question is can we find an interface (normative reference policy perhaps) that impedance matches sufficiently for different standards orgs (even just 2 of them) to refer to each others documents (even in just one direction) rather than copy/diverge documents.
- # [18:23] <tantek> the latter making it more work for everyone, and more confusion too
- # [18:23] <ShaneM> tantek: in a sane world we can. some of it is (artificially constrained) timing in this case.
- # [18:23] <tantek> scheduling presents an additional constraint and thus difficulty / challenge
- # [18:25] <tantek> in the case of URL, (some at) the W3C's demand for more "formalism" (whether "stability", and/or "test suites", and/or "provable interop") is finally causing some amount of "emperor's new clothes" revelation about the IETF's past work.
- # [18:25] <ShaneM> long term I am confident that there will be a way to point from one group's specs to another. The laywers just want stability. And yes, the IETF's past work on this is lacking. I have never thought any RFC was well done.
- # [18:26] <tantek> past? I meant present as well. as there's still no requirement for RFCs to have *open* / free test suites, and implementation reports as well.
- # [18:26] <ShaneM> fact.
- # [18:27] <ShaneM> the IETF never made the leap from "3 guys and a dog" to "real standards organization" despite their being de facto charged with standardizing the internt
- # [18:27] <tantek> and while I think it's reasonable to have such requirements, even in normatively referenced external documents, we may want to invoke some degree of grandfathering / loosening of those requirements for URL
- # [18:27] <tantek> the question in my mind is, is the new URL standard at least as good as the latest IETF URL/URI/IRI RFC
- # [18:28] <tantek> (I can never keep track which name is in fashion)
- # [18:28] <ShaneM> it definitely is not. sad.
- # [18:28] <tantek> (at the IETF at least)
- # [18:28] * Quits: SteveF (~chatzilla@public.cloak) (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
- # [18:28] <ShaneM> it is very browser-centric.
- # [18:28] <tantek> from a (perhaps browser-centric) implementation interop perspective, I think the URL standard is greatly improved
- # [18:28] <tantek> and perhaps that's sufficient for HTML5
- # [18:29] <ShaneM> maybe. I doubt the AC or the Director will think so though. They are sort of old school. And the AC is made up of a lot of people who are not necessarily topic experts on the things they are voting upon.
- # [18:29] <tantek> I don't want to assume the AC or Director or anyone else acting in good faith at W3C is "old school"
- # [18:30] <tantek> and I'm saying that as a member of the AB
- # [18:30] <tantek> so I feel like I have some exposure to that sort of thing
- # [18:31] <tantek> I want to assume that the AC and the Director *want* a reasonably solid HTML5 by the end of the year. Obviously that implies several parameters that can be tweaked. But that's up to this WG to propose the tweaking if that's to occur.
- # [18:31] <ShaneM> maybe. to some extent it is out of this working group's hands (by process)
- # [18:31] <ShaneM> the URL spec is being done by a different group. And the spec is past CR.
- # [18:32] <tantek> some of it is (by process), however all of those parties (AB, AC, Director) very much listen to what this WG expresses, whether in or out of process.
- # [18:32] <ShaneM> as well they should.
- # [18:33] <tantek> I believe plh pointed out during last week's call that the W3C's WebApp URL spec lacked sufficient interop per test suite to be "past CR".
- # [18:33] <tantek> hence IMO that effort (having W3C do a copy of the URL standard) was likely a mistake (too strict per our processes)
- # [18:34] <tantek> whereas asking the question, is the URL standard (snapshot or not) better than the latest IETF RFC on the same, for the purposes of HTML5?
- # [18:34] <tantek> and to that, I think we can say yes
- # [18:35] <ShaneM> yes. I meant HTML5 is past CR. and maybe it is better. If it had a different name or didn't purport to supplant the relevant RFC I would find it less objectionable.
- # [18:35] <tantek> It's an ideal outcome. But it is one way to meet that aforementioned timing/schedule.
- # [18:35] <ShaneM> yes, it would help meet the schedule.
- # [18:35] <tantek> Ah, those are specific objections that I think are worth documenting and addressing.
- # [18:36] <ShaneM> maybe. I was trying to stay out of it. I feel like every time I get involve in something I irritate more people.
- # [18:36] <ShaneM> so I try to save my bullets.
- # [18:37] <tantek> you're likely expressing what others (who are staying silent) are feeling, and thus it makes sense to document *your* objections from that perspective.
- # [18:37] <tantek> what I do object to is weasel-worded objections, that is "some may object due to ..."
- # [18:37] <ShaneM> oh. yeah. that's not helpful. "unnamed sources at the white house..."
- # [18:37] <ShaneM> I will consider it. thanks. anyway, we are not going solve it here now. I am going to shower and get ready for my next meetings since I am forced to leavve the house for them.
- # [18:38] <tantek> this is one of my favorite documentation pieces for that reason: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word
- # [18:38] <tantek> ok good to know. I think by iterating we are developing more common understanding so that's a step forward if not a solution. thanks.
