Resolution: Minutes from Sep 4 approved http://www.w3.org/2008/09/04-tagmem-minutes

Next week call a risk. Regrets from Tim. Stuart may not be able to make it

HT: Use the time to read our documents

Cancel next week's meeting

<jar> +1 use the time to read

Next meeting f2f

Raman: If we are serious abt this, all TAG members should read the HTML spec

DanC: Please let's finish reading list and Agenda for f2f

binaryXML-30 (ISSUE-30)

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to acknowledge my EXI actions

HT: I will read these on the 'plane and make a recommendation on what we should do

DanC: Last, we said tell us how you are better than gzip

HT: That's where we are, the ball is bak in our court.

SKW: We will discuss this again at our FTF.

UrnsAndRegistries-50 (ISSUE-50)

<DanC> (though Dec sounds wierd... I thought our request was since Dec)

HT: I'm working on a new document. Shd have it ready middle on next week

<DanC> close action-167

<trackbot> ACTION-167 S to start a thread on non-DNS authority resolution on www-tag closed

DanC: What's happening with XRIs?

SKW: Summarizes situation

We have not had a formal proposal saying would you be happy with ...

SKW: We had a discussion on how the discussion was going

<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to check whether skw meant it when he said "prefix", since DNS names go least-significant-first

<DanC> does either Booth or Bradley advocate an actual prefix?

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to say there's one thing we will need to chase no matter what

<ht> Abstract Identifier document: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/AbstractIdentifierArchitecture

<jar> saying "http://xri.*/*" are XRIS is same as saying "http://*/ark:*" are ARKs ...

SKW: That's not the proposal (to <jar> above)

<ht> And I think there is _some_ room to argue that both of these are OK, if not ideal

Self-Describing Web

Noah has incorporated feedback from Norm and SKW:

SKW: Norm and I would be supportive of publication

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to ask a question

ht: In a discussion with a student I realized ...

<ht> I believe the following: "FYN works iff every party to the story is a) publically accountable

<ht> and b) aware of the dependency of the FYN story on their part of it.

<ht> "

<DanC> I think you can follow-your-nose into policies and such that aren't world-readable

DanC: I would not say 'publically accounatable"

HT: The parties have to be publically accountable

SKW: The draft does not say this

HT: I would like to discuss this

SKW: Pl. send comment

DanC: I disagree for 3 reasons

<DanC> (I ran out after 2)

<DanC> (1) need not be world-readable

<DanC> (2) the URI for text/plain isn't actually critical path

<DanC> ... currently

<DanC> (though it's nice that the text/plain full URI is in an RFC)

HT: I will send mail on this

<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to think about whether RDFa is critical path: if we leave it aside, what's the audience/purpose? and to

DanC: How can we finish without RDFa story?
... I'm not sure story holds up

SKW: can we document missing link and encourage them to put it in place.

F2F Agenda

SKW: Talks about the f2f agenda. Thanks Raman for his help

DanC: I would like to negotiate the reading list now

<DanC> I hear from skw: urnsregs, binaryxml, html*,

<DanC> digest of ?

SKW: Should read binary XML specs, HTML spec, collected digest of refernces from Raman's thread

<DanC> self-describing web draft

<DanC> passwords in the clear

Self-describing Web, Password in Clear, Versioning

<DanC> versioning revision from david

Need two readers for Binary XML, HT is one.

URNsAndRegistries-50 ... HT writing paper. Due Tuesday. Shd be read by f2f

<DanC> * tim's bit

HT: We should all have read Tim's paper

<skw> also had an explicit request from David for Jar's formal treatment...

<DanC> "the document"... one document on versioning?

<DanC> DO nominates JAR's formalism

DaveO: What is new is Jonathan's formalism. Recommend people read this by f2f

<DanC> DO: key chapter is ch5

DaveO: Please review Chapter 5. That is new and is key

<DanC> HT nominates SVG and HTML thread from public-html... a dozen messages

HT: Read SVG and HTML thread. Read 10 msgs and get a feeling of the context

<DanC> TVR 2nds... long thread... read for motivations

<DanC> (looks like TVR's agenda input subsumes HT's suggestion to read a thread)

TVR: Read HTML spec with a view thru the structuring lens I proposed

JR: Is there a document that tells why W3C got involved in html5

<noah> Are you discussing reading list?

<jar> http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/AbstractIdentifierArchitecture

<jar> ?

DanC: I can point to formal mataerial but that's not what you want

<DanC> on mime types... a section of the html spec

<DanC> pwinc fri

<noah> Friday's OK if short, I think.

<DanC> (thanks; I was just gonna ask for irc convirmation)

Noah: Are we all supposed to read whole HTML spec?

<DanC> nm nominates thread on meeting goals

Noah: Please read thread on Tag Soup

HT: Norm is not coming to Kansas City

<skw> I think that the thread Noah referred to is based at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2008Aug/0019.html

DanC: I will send mail before EOD after editing agenda page

Possible topic GenericResources-53

Content negotiation and Abstract Documents

Not on agenda currently. You can lobby me.

TVR: Steve said he was pulling in my TPAC proposal

abbreviatedURI-56 (ISSUE-56)

SKW: Asks abt status of CURIE comments

<DanC> (anybody have a summary of the comment? the subject line was a generic "comments on X")

Noah: That's for responder to say

SKW: Summarizes comments

Editorial: QNames never intend as attribute values. Some discussion on this

<DanC> (pls promote that "main substantive comment" to the subject line)

SKW: Definition of XML Schema datatype

<ht> Please remember that we have already fed back on this point, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html-editor/2008JanMar/0014.html

AM: Noah you had a comment on lack of clarity between CURIE and URI where there is ambiguity

Noah: I sent this as a personal comment. If no objection, I can add to my note

<jar> the whole point of safecurie was so that they can be put in uri contexts

<DanC> yes, now that I understand the comment, it seems to miss the point of safecuries

<noah> Well, it hijacks the use of [ in everyone's languages.

Raman: I'm uncomfortable with this. We need to allow new syntax in old contexts

jar: If there was no intention of extensing URI content there would be no SafeCURIEs

<jar> RDFa already would violate a prohibition on safecuries. It's too late to prohibit safecuries

HT: We should be careful abt distinguishing between CURIE's and SafeCURIES

<DanC> <ht> Please remember that we have already fed back on this point, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html-editor/2008JanMar/0014.html

HT: We should not go back on that advice

TVR: The way Noah phrased it it sets a very high bar for new syntax

<jar> Two questions here! (1) CURIEs in URI contexts? (No.) (2) SafeCURIEs in URI contexts? (RDFa requires.)

<Zakim> noah, you wanted to say implying safecuries can be used in existing languages where URIs are expected hijacks the use of [ in those languages.

Noah: Explains his POV ... I should open my spec to other syntax

<jar> relative URIs can start with [, yes?

They should make clear that these things are not URis

DaveO: Supports Noah. CURIEs cannot be wedged into existing specifications

<jar> I repeat: There are two questions here! (1) CURIEs in URI contexts? (No.) (2) SafeCURIEs in URI contexts? (RDFa requires.)

<DanC> jar, does RDFa use <a href="[safecuri]">? I see deployment problems there.

<skw> http://www.w3.org/mid/48B810F4.60807@aptest.com

DaveO: Must specify how CURIEs and URI are disambiguated

<jar> no, but it allows safecuries in other uri contexts, I believe. Will check.

<DanC> ok. deployment considerations for a/@href are somewhat special

TVR: XSLT uses { } is attribute value templates. Example of use of a special character

<jar> ok, URIorSafeCURIE only occurs in attributes that are newly added by RDFa

<noah> I did propose text to Shane on 8/29:

<noah> <proposed>

<noah> CURIEs and safe-CURIEs map to IRIs, but neither a CURIE nor a safe-CURIE

<noah> <italic>is</italic> an IRI or URI. Accordingly, CURIEs and safe-CURIEs

<noah> MUST NOT be used as values for attributes that are specified to contain

<noah> only URIs, IRIs, URI-references, IRI-references, etc. Specifications for

<noah> particular attribute values or other content MAY be written to allow

<noah> either CURIEs or IRIs (or URIs, etc.). The specifications for such

<noah> languages MUST provide rules for disambiguition in situations where the

<noah> same string could be interpreted as either a CURIE or an IRI. One way to

<noah> do this is to require that all CURIEs be expressed as safe-CURIEs,

<noah> implying that all unbracketed strings are to be interpreted as IRIs.

<noah> </proposed>

TVR: I'm mostly OK with this.

<DanC> x:y

JAR: I'm bothered by saying "CURIES are not IRIs". There are strings that are both.

<DanC> noodling... "neither every CURIE nor every safe-CURIE <italic>is</italic> an IRI or URI"

Noah: I will put this in a note to the TAG list and people can comment

<noah> So, Stuart, what's the next step on the response.

SKW: Let's conclude on email.

<noah> SKW: Noah to redraft considering Stuart's proposal on intent of QNames and add 8/29 draft text on using CURIEs where URIs expected

SKW: DanC, any progress on 171

Dan: No.

<DanC> p.s. any hosting issues?

<DanC> hmm... decisions decisions...

<DanC> collect all preparation materials in one place in the agenda...

<DanC> or tuck them under the relevant items?

<DanC> I lean toward tucking, so far

<DanC> hmm... how to do a crawl-and-zip...?
