- # [14:35] <gsnedders> From that original post, I guess I probably ought to read the thread sometime (but I guess not now :))
- # [14:43] <hsivonen> jgraham: if you want more perf, I suggest splitting up the data state the way it's split in the V.nu tokenizer

- # [14:44] <jgraham> hsivonen: How is that?
- # [14:45] * jgraham actually wants a non-broken trunk more than perf right now
- # [14:45] <hsivonen> jgraham: you don't need to check the content model flag per character if you bake the content model flag into the tokenizer state
- # [14:45] <jgraham> Oh so you have dataStateCdata and dataStateRcdata and so on?
- # [14:45] <hsivonen> jgraham: yeah

- # [14:55] <hsivonen> gsnedders: ok
- # [15:00] <gsnedders> hsivonen: Well, actually, accessing it I think is constant, but appendChild is non-constant

- # [22:04] <tantek> Hixie, from briefly reading the recent email thread that gsnedders linked to, it appeared that there was *some* progress being made in the level of dialog (more scientific) with regards to the methodology of analysis of summary.

- # [22:08] * jgraham wonders how that makes us less suck
- # [22:08] <jgraham> *stuck
- # [22:08] <tantek> gnsedders - I disagree - specifically, Shelley's recent message: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jul/0152.html has a good tone and a reasonable listing of concerns with the methodology of analysis of summary. At a minimum, those concerns could (should) be documented on a wiki page, and then addressed.
- # [22:09] <sayrer_> jgraham: well, we are stuck if you are wed to making the attributes lack of success result in a conformance error
- # [22:10] <tantek> gsnedders - in addition, framing the debate as "from either side" unnecessarily harms the ability for all sides to make scientific progress on various possibilities by polarizing the issue.
- # [22:11] <tantek> gsnedders, you're right about being stuck in circles due to it being discussed in email. if you capture the issues and follow-ups in a wiki page, it becomes much easier to represent loops and duplicates (via hyperlinks) than in email.
- # [22:12] <gsnedders> tantek: I think we went through stuff like what Shelley's message is about at TPAC last year with PF, though, and within a few weeks the arguments were back to what they were before that meeting
- # [22:12] <tantek> gsnedders - so why weren't those points recorded on a wiki then so they could be properly assessed? (rather than being repeated in email)
- # [22:13] <jgraham> sayrer_: So your proposition is "accept my point of view and the arguments will go away"?
- # [22:13] <gsnedders> tantek: I think because nobody has bothered to put them on the wiki.
- # [22:14] <jgraham> tantek: We have a wiki page. Is is hardly fair and balanced and attempts to make it so would unlikely go down well
- # [22:14] <sayrer_> jgraham: so you do think it is really important to have it result in a conformance error?
- # [22:14] <sayrer_> like, life or death, technical showstopper?
- # [22:14] <gsnedders> It would be a lot easier if we just made no comment about what was conforming :P
- # [22:15] <tantek> jgraham - Wikipedia has had to deal with far worse conflicts than this, by recording multiple points of view (and arguments for/against), and has done so. So I disagree with your assessment that it is "unlikely [to] go down well" - offering Wikipedia conflict documentation as evidence.
- # [22:15] <sayrer_> well, that is a proposal I intend to make, but we needn't go whole hog there to resolve this specific issue
- # [22:15] <sayrer_> the author conformance requirements have a variety of motivations
- # [22:15] <sayrer_> and they are inconsistently applied
- # [22:17] <jgraham> tantek: http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/SummaryForTABLE (note also http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/SummaryForTABLE?action=info)
- # [22:17] <gsnedders> I think from a syntax point of view, conformance should be what produces an obvious DOM tree and the subset of the spec's algorithm and what works in legacy UAs
- # [22:17] <sayrer_> legacy UAs aren't html5-conformant
- # [22:17] <sayrer_> not remotely
- # [22:18] <gsnedders> Indeed, but there is a subset of input that is parsed the same.

- # [22:21] <tantek> jgraham - that wiki page certainly has a lot of good documentation, but does little to address follow-ups of the points made.
- # [22:23] <tantek> jgraham - I agree with you about minimizing the "language surface that authors will encounter" - I've been referring to that as the principle of minimal vocabulary and have documented it as a microformats design principle: http://microformats.org/wiki/minimal-vocabulary

- # [22:29] <takkaria> I seem to recall a couple of edits being reverted staright away
- # [22:29] <takkaria> at that point I gave up

- # [22:38] <takkaria> I think it was around the time I bothered actively debating with Rob Burns
- # [22:38] <takkaria> I think I was editing a page he had some investment in
- # [22:38] <jgraham> tantek: I think that wiki page is very unbalanced e.g. it frames the issue as "why summary should not be provided vs why summary should be provided whilst the actual issue is about the most effective way to increase the accessibility of HTML tables
- # [22:39] * Quits: jwalden (n=waldo@nat/mozilla/x-76f39c41d2a4e697) ("ChatZilla 0.9.85 [Firefox 3.5.1pre/20090704031137]")
- # [22:39] <jgraham> tantek: and my perception is that any edits I make that change existing content would be reverted
- # [22:39] * Quits: cying (n=cying@70.90.171.153) (Remote closed the connection)
- # [22:40] <jgraham> So there is no point in investing my limited time in making those changes

- # [22:41] <jgraham> (it is possible that I m wrong. However I think that other people have the same impression; the esw wiki is viewed as poisoned from the pov of HTML)

- # [22:51] <smedero> I think there was one instance of an edit war on the ESW wiki between Lachlan and Laura... if memory serves. I believe Laura suggested it was a mistake... that she accidently clobbered Lachlan's updates.
- # [22:52] <smedero> *shrug* I find most of the wiki pages on there to be insanely difficult to parse.
- # [22:54] <jgraham> smedero: Agreed. Maybe that is one of the reasons I am so loathe to edit them; it is impossible to work out where to insert things and heavy refactoring would likely remove information that people were attached to
- # [22:54] <smedero> yep.
- # [22:54] <jgraham> We should make unit tests for the wiki page :)
- # [22:55] <gsnedders> jgraham: Are you going to get a intern to do that? :P
- # [22:56] <jgraham> (a series of statements that should be invariant under refactorings. Then we could replace the wiki page with the unit tests)
- # [22:56] <smedero> There was a suggested template structure... and people sorta stuck to it but then they misinterpreted the spirit of the headers... or perhaps... the average person doesn't share the same definition of "use case" that a software engineer has.

- # [23:01] <tantek> jgraham, then let me make the modest proposal of forking from the esw wiki, and copying any content relevant to HTML to the whatwg wiki, where the policies of the whatwg can be used to help encourage better community participation on the wiki.
- # [23:01] <jgraham> tantek: That seems like a reasonable idea
- # [23:03] <tantek> if Lachy has had trouble with his edits being reverted on the esw wiki, perhaps he might be able to help with such a migration to the whatwg wiki.
- # [23:04] <tantek> perhaps takkaria would similarly be interested in migrating to the whatwg wiki
- # [23:05] <Lachy> I gave up on the esw wiki based on edit wars with Rob Burns and, if smedero is right, Laura.
- # [23:06] <Lachy> I think the edit war with Laura was something about documenting use cases for video accessibility
- # [23:06] <Lachy> which is why I did document most of that on the whatwg wiki already

- # [23:15] <takkaria> the idea of migrating to the whatwg wiki is all well and good

- # [23:53] <Hixie> it's just a scratch space

- # [23:56] <Hixie> not to my knowledge
- # [23:57] <Hixie> christ, www-font makes public-html look positively friendly
- # [23:57] * Lachy goes to create a "Table Summary" page
- # [23:58] <Lachy> Hixie, do you recall what evidence the proponents for summary="" claim supports their position?
- # [23:59] <Lachy> The only thing I can think of is that the attribute is read out by default in some screen readers
- # [23:59] <Hixie> the PFWG has consensus on the idea that summary="" is successful
- # [23:59] <Lachy> yeah, but what's that consensus based on?
- # [23:59] <Lachy> maybe there's something in the esw wiki about it.
