- # [01:39] <pingveno> Python
- # [01:40] <pingveno> Well, the tree is written in Cython but I'll use Python for the treebuilder
- # [01:40] <kingryan> ok, i mostly only know about the ruby port
- # [01:42] <pingveno> Ah, I see.
- # [01:42] <pingveno> Is html5lib designed so that it is *possible* to write a custom treebuilder?

- # [01:45] <Philip`> pingveno: How would a custom treebuilder be any different to the treebuilders that are currently implemented?
- # [01:45] <pingveno> It would work with a tree implementation that I'm writing.
- # [01:45] * Philip` notices that his sentence didn't quite make sense
- # [01:45] * pingveno has seen much worse.
- # [01:46] <Philip`> I think I meant "How would a custom treebuilder be implemented any differently to the treebuilders that are currently implemented?"
- # [01:46] <pingveno> Ah
- # [01:46] <pingveno> I'm not sure where to start. I can't find any documentation.
- # [01:46] <Philip`> like, there are currently n (standard) treebuilders, so I'd assume that adding a new one would just mean there's now n+1 treebuilders with no fundamental differences
- # [01:47] <Philip`> Ah, lack of documentation sounds like a significant problem with that :-(
- # [01:47] <pingveno> Yeah, it can be somewhat of a showstopper ;)

- # [01:50] <pingveno> Time to pull out da ol' text editor.
- # [01:51] <Philip`> As far as I'm aware, looking at the existing treebuilder code is probably all you can do, until someone who knows what they're talking about is present in this channel :-)
- # [01:51] <pingveno> It doesn't look terribly difficult to implement.
- # [01:53] <pingveno> I'm not sure how to go about doing inheritance though.
- # [01:53] <pingveno> from html5lib.treebuilders._base import ...
- # [01:53] <pingveno> Then inherit from that?

- # [01:55] <pingveno> Oh, true
- # [01:55] <Philip`> I suppose you'd then need to do something hacky to make html5lib/treebuilders/__init__.py's getTreeBuilder give you your own treebuilder - doesn't look like it's designed to be externally extensible
- # [01:59] * fakeolliej is now known as olliej
- # [01:59] <pingveno> Are you sure? It looks like it just initializes the TreeBuilder class.
- # [02:00] <Philip`> Hmm, I'm not sure at all
- # [02:00] <Philip`> I thought it was called automatically when you created an HTMLParser, but that seems to not be the case, so you can just pass in a treebuilder object directly
- # [02:01] <Philip`> It's definitely true that I don't know what I'm talking about, so I should probably just go to bed :-)

- # [19:43] <Hixie> timbl_: when i say "the tag would say" i'm just referring to what publications from the tag would say, not to the opinions of individuals in the tag
- # [19:46] <timbl_> Well, the publications of the TAG are fairly few and far between.. but the discussion here is often about the minutes of the last meeting.
- # [19:48] <Hixie> sure, but the two sweeping statements i made were only meant to refer to the publications
- # [19:49] <Hixie> and i stand by them -- i think the tag's publications are theoretically sound
- # [19:49] <Hixie> which is fine, for a set of architectural principles
- # [19:49] <Hixie> to strive for
- # [19:49] <Hixie> but they're not achievable in specs that have to be actuall widely implemented
- # [19:50] <Hixie> for example, even the w3c sends passwords in the clear
- # [19:50] <Hixie> and not sniffing for video content in resources sent as text/plain simply isn't a marketable option
- # [19:51] <Hixie> i think hsivonen's comments earlier were spot on -- one's point of view starts to change when one has to deal with browser bugs
- # [19:52] <Hixie> (from the point of view of the implementors)
- # [19:52] <timbl_> The tag and the whatwg are sets of well-meaning smart people -- with similar goals but different emphasis.
- # [19:52] <timbl_> Beware the Second System Effect.
- # [19:52] <Hixie> how do you mean?
- # [19:53] <Hixie> or rather, why do you think the second system effect may be a problem here?
- # [19:53] <Hixie> (i'm assuming you're referring to the idea that when designing a system the second time from scratch, one tends to overengineer it. but the whatwg work is explicitly not designing anything from scratch.)
- # [19:54] <timbl_> It is easy when redesigning or doing a second run on the design to take into account the clear bugs in system 1 -- but in designing system 2 to fail to meet the design goals of system 1 which et system 1 designers toiled for in their time
- # [19:54] <timbl_> It may not be totally good match with Fred Vrroks experience.
- # [19:55] <timbl_> The WHATWG is concerned wit practical life building for a world with leacy web pages and legacy web browsers. The TAG is concerned about building a world of modular orthognal specs which ill support future developmesnt by otehrs to come
- # [19:56] * timbl_ scuse my typing
- # [19:56] <Hixie> i would posit that the second system effect is far far more likely with the xhtml2 work than with html5 :-) i mean, with html5, we're explicitly not redesigning anything. that's one of our core goals and requirements.
- # [19:56] <timbl_> These are different concens -- they are both important.
- # [19:57] <Hixie> the whatwg/html5 work is about extending the legacy system to support future developments
- # [19:57] <Hixie> it bridges both of the concerns you list
- # [19:57] <timbl_> Sometimes they seem to conflict but I think we have to try to be smart and get both
- # [19:57] <Hixie> the tag only seems to focus on the second of these two concerns, which is why its publications repeatedly make what the whatwgers consider elementary mistakes (not taking into account the legacy)
- # [19:57] <timbl_> Well, I would like ther to be a path by which browsers work with logacy markup, but don't encourage you to make it.
- # [19:58] <Hixie> that's the whatwg path :-)
- # [19:58] <Hixie> we make legacy markup invalid
- # [19:58] <Hixie> just like with html4 and before
- # [19:58] <timbl_> Well, I don't see browsers helping me tidy my pages.
- # [19:59] <timbl_> Or letting me (for what I declare to be my own web site) see the warnings of things which my CMS has generated
- # [19:59] <Hixie> you never will -- the vendors aren't willing to do that. that's not a whatwg problem, we (whatwg/html5) are just working with what constraints they give us
- # [19:59] <Hixie> warnings are shown in firefox and safari
- # [19:59] <Hixie> that's orthogonal to the specs
- # [20:00] <timbl_> Well, it isn't.
- # [20:00] <timbl_> In a way.
- # [20:00] <timbl_> You are dsigning a system.
- # [20:00] <timbl_> In a way, a system of servers and browsers and readers and publishers.
- # [20:00] <timbl_> You think about what readers and publishers will and won't be prepared to do a lot.
- # [20:01] <Hixie> right, otherwise we'll get ignored
- # [20:01] <timbl_> The people working on HTML5 largely ARE the bowser vendors.
- # [20:02] <timbl_> "- the vendors aren't willing to do that. that's not a whatwg problem," uggests they are not connected.
- # [20:02] <gsnedders> Then why aren't the browser vendors interested enough to work on other specs?
- # [20:02] <Hixie> of the 500 people in the htmlwg list and the 900 people in the whatwg list, at most 10% are browser vendors
- # [20:02] <Hixie> probably far, far less
- # [20:02] <gsnedders> How many browser vendors are working on XHTML2? Why is there not more interest there?
- # [20:03] <timbl_> gsnedders, we wre not talking about XHTML2, but about browses showing warnings when they have had to use error correction
- # [20:03] <Hixie> timbl_: i gotta go catch a train. shall we continue this conversation monday at lunch?
- # [20:04] <timbl_> Monday lunch alas I can't do
- # [20:04] <timbl_> ummmm unless i can move things around

- # [20:05] <timbl_> I'll see if we I can do lunch
- # [20:05] <gsnedders> Hmm, I wonder what I'm doing about lunch tomorrow
- # [20:05] <gsnedders> I'm on TGV from Lyon :\
- # [20:06] <gsnedders> timbl_: I think the main point is there is no point in requiring UAs to show warnings in a spec if the requirement is just going to be ignored
- # [20:06] <timbl_> there are worse places to be than the tgv
- # [20:07] <timbl_> It should not be in the language spec at all, but a good practcie note
- # [20:07] <gsnedders> timbl_: Oh, sure, far worse. :)
- # [20:07] <gsnedders> timbl_: What use is even a good practice note if nobody is going to follow it?
- # [20:08] <timbl_> I know you folks like to put just everything in a big document ;-) ... but a good pracftce note about how to encourage good behavior
- # [20:08] <timbl_> If there is a concerted message that the web would get better if browser manufacturers implemenetd it, it could well.
- # [20:09] <gsnedders> I don't think we like having such a big document, I think we just think that editing one large monolithic document is easier (insofar as less time consuming) than editing several inter-linked documents
- # [20:09] <timbl_> It IS possible to make things better ... when you are enmired in describing the current mess, importnt also to set a long term course out of it
- # [20:09] * gsnedders ought to go and get food now :)

- # [20:13] <Philip`> You only discriminate on ability to spend the time and money to attend ;-)
