5. Candidate Rec
Status report: tests

[Noah] topic:  Issue 501
[Noah] DF:  Last week we dealt with half of feedback by sending email drafted by Noah.
[Noah] DF:  Other half...Andrea's on vacation so no progress.
[Noah] DF: thus, still pending.

[Noah] topic:  Issue 502
[Noah] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-cr-issues.html#x502
[Noah] See Noah's draft response to Martin http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2004Sep/0003.html
[Noah] and also Noah's second thoughts:  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2004Sep/0006.html
[Noah] DF:  have some doubts that last week minutes are accurate, since it says issues 501 and 502 closed.  That's wrong.
[Noah] Corrected links: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2004Sep/0006.html

[davidF] I18N comment ... http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlp-comments/2004Sep/0016.html
[Noah] Gudge: Noah
[Noah] Gudge: Noah's 2nd proposal takes us back to original text.  Question:
how to deal with i18n group concerns.
[Noah] Gudge:  Herve, I don't know whether my impl. will handle IRIs.  Will yours?
[Noah] Herve: I don't know either.
[Noah] The protocol or format element where IRIs are used should be
[Noah]        explicitly designated to be able to carry IRIs.  That is, the
[Noah]        intent is not to introduce IRIs into contexts that are not defined
[Noah]        to accept them.  For example, XML schema [XMLSchema] has an
[Noah]        explicit type "anyURI" that includes IRIs and IRI references.
[Noah]        Therefore, IRIs and IRI references can be in attributes and
[Noah]        elements of type "anyURI".  On the other hand, in the HTTP
[Noah]        protocol [RFC2616], the Request URI is defined as an URI, which
[Noah]        means that direct use of IRIs is not allo
[Noah] IRIs are meant to replace URIs in identifying resources for
[Noah]     protocols, formats and software components which use a UCS-based
[Noah]     character repertoire.  These protocols and components may never need
[Noah]     to use URIs directly, especially when the resource identifier is used
[Noah]     simply for identification purposes.  However, when the resource
[Noah]     identifier is used for resource retrieval, it is in many cases
[Noah]     necessary to determine the associated URI because most retrieval
[Noah]     mechanisms currently only are defined for URIs.  In this case, IRIs
[Noah]     can serve as presentation elements f
[Noah] or URI protocol elements.  An
[Noah]     example would be an address bar in a Web user agent.  (Additional
[Noah]     rationale is given in Section 3.1.)
[Noah] Long discussion of what would or wouldn't satisfy i18n's concerns.
[Noah] Key questions seem to include:  is i18n encouraging use of new chars in
http: scheme identifiers?  Noah infers: only in user agents, not as identifiers
"on the web".  Noah also infers:  IRI draft encourages development of new schemes
or perhaps revisions of old to allow new chars.
[Noah] Gudge:  maybe, I'm not so sure.
[Noah] Gudge: just ran a realtime test and Herve's endpoint correctly handled a 
[Noah] "Unicode" character.
[Noah] Noah:  proposed to go back to old text, with "NOTE:  the use of the
xsd:anyURI type anticipates the possibility that in future schemes will be
developed that use IRI rather than URI naming for resources."
[Noah] Some positive feedback.
[Noah] Mike Mahon: Nokia agrees
[Noah] Herve:  our implementation works, so we agree :-)
[Noah] Pete:  SeeBeyond OK
[Noah] DF:  Proposal, revert to original text with note:   "NOTE:  the use of the
xsd:anyURI type anticipates the possibility that in future schemes will be developed
that use IRI rather than URI naming for resources."
[Gudge] Original text is in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2004Sep/0003.html
[Gudge] under <current/?.
[Noah] <current section="4.2.2">
[Noah]  The type of the resource attribute information item is xs:anyURI. The
[Noah] value of the resource attribute information item is a URI that identifies
[Noah] the Web resource whose representation is carried in the rep:Representation
[Noah] element information item parent of the resource attribute information item.
[Noah] </current>
[Noah] <proposed>

[Noah] </proposed>
[Noah] Gudge:  Microsoft implementation also supports "weird" characters in URIs
[Noah] DF: Proposal to end discussion and close the remainder of issue 502 with
the above proposed text, as well as a note to i18n indicating that there will be
log files on the test page showing CR-level interop using non-ASCII chars.
[Noah] AGREED without objection.
[Noah] ACTION:  Gudge to respond to i18n on issue 502
[Noah] ACTION: Editors to incorporate modified text on issue 502 (Gudge will do it)

[davidF] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-cr-issues.html#x507
[Noah] topic:  issue 507 examples in XOP
[Noah]  http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/xmlp-cr-issues.html#x507
[Noah] The two examples in session "1.2 Example" show the one that Prior to
[Noah] the XOP processing "look" shorter than the one apply XOP processing.
[Noah] It is hard for reader to understand why using the XOP mean "more
[Noah] efficiently serializing XML Infosets" if you show the one apply XOP is
[Noah] LONGER in the example. (I understand what you mean there, but at frist
[Noah] glance, the example show reader, the one prior tot he XOP is "more
[Noah] efficiently serializing".
[Noah] Basically, it is comparing Apple to Orange because the first one in
[Noah] the example does not include HTTP header at all. To make it a fair
[Noah] compasion could be
[Noah] done by replacing (or adding) the one which include
[Noah] HTTP header but without XOP processing there.
[Noah] Gudge: the reasons the base64 example looks shorter is we don't show all
the octets
[Gudge] http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/3/06/Attachments/XOP.html#example
[Noah] DF: proposal on issue 507.  Add note saying:  "NOTE:  The sample base 64
data is smaller than would be typical and the binary octets are not shown;  in
practice, the optimized form is likely to be much smaller than the original."
[Noah] AGREED without dissent.
[Gudge] ACTION: Gudge to send closing e-mail for 507
[Gudge] ACTION Editors to add note saying:  "NOTE:  The sample base 64 data is
smaller than would be typical and the binary octets are not shown;  in practice,
the optimized form is likely to be much smaller than the original." to XOP
