issue-41?

<trackbot> ISSUE-41 -- What are good practices for designing extensible languages and for handling versioning? -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/issues/41

<noah> ACTON-473?

<noah> ACTION-473?

<trackbot> ACTION-473 -- Noah Mendelsohn to draft possible TAG response on HTML extensibility -- due 2010-10-07 -- PENDINGREVIEW

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/473

<noah> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2010Oct/0007.html

noah: HTML WG is running a survey , "like SVG" vs. "no edit"
... looking for go-ahead to send email [linked above]

(jar was reading the email and missed HT's comment. sorry)

ht: Should we say something pointed and contrary, as opposed to a general purpose "we prefer DE" criticism? (scribe uncertainty)

<masinter> a stronger statement might also call for continued, serious, additional W3C work on DE, independently of what HTML WG can agree to for HTML5 LC

<noah> Larry, do you have a proposed sentence? There is value in getting this now to a point where we can approve.

<noah> The note says in para #1" two options for HTML extensibility, the options being known

<noah> > informally as "like SVG" [2] and "zero edit" [3]

<noah> I think that covers it for our purposes: we can use those terms in the remainder of the note.

<ht> We think the like-SVG proposal not only provides the basis for DE, it has the advantage of doing so in a way which makes good use of the already-in-place support for namespaces in the DOM, while placing virtually all the burden of using the proposed mechanism on those who chose to use it, since namespace-awareness is already necessary for SVG and MathML.

<noah> We think the like-SVG proposal provides the basis for DE placing virtually all the burden of using the proposed mechanism on those who chose to use it, since namespace-awareness is already necessary for SVG and MathML.

<masinter> Distributed extensibility is an important area for managing the evolution of web content: allowing vendors to experiment with additions before standardization while controlling those extensions. We understand that the details of how to accomplish this are difficult, and that "like SVG" may be the best we can accomplish for HTML at this time. However, we support continued, serious, additional W3C work on DE, independently of what can be

<masinter> accomplished for HTML5 "last call".

<noah> Implicitly, we believe that maintaining support for namespaces in the DOM is, on balance, worthwhile.

<Zakim> masinter, you wanted to discuss endorsing more work rather than specifically namespaces

<noah> HT: Endorses Larry's long quote.

<noah> We are about to endorse a proposal that does use namespaces. Why say more?

<noah> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2010Oct/0006.html

(discussion of wording and content of email)

<ht> We think the like-SVG proposal provides the basis for DE, with the additional benefit of placing virtually all the burden of using the proposed mechanism on those who chose to use it, since namespace-awareness is already necessary for SVG and MathML.

<noah> On balance, the TAG believes that the "like SVG" option is far superior to

<noah> "zero-edit", and we hope that it will be adopted by the HTML working group.

<noah> It is, of course, a compromise in a number of dimensions, but we feel

<noah> that it represents a significant positive and pragmatic step toward

<noah> providing the needed extensibility.

<noah> We think the like-SVG proposal provides the basis for DE, with the additional benefit of placing virtually all the burden of using the proposed mechanism on those who chose to use it, since namespace-awareness is already necessary for SVG and MathML.

jar: please remove the word "far"

<noah> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2010Oct/0010.html

<DKA> I like it.

noah: Draft is in my emacs buffer, but almost same as tag email linked above. What does everyone think?
... I think there are other uses for DE [besides what LM articulated]?

<masinter> ok

noah: Leave out part after the colon?

<DKA> +1 to leaving out the stuff after the colon.

noah: Sounds like people on the call are OK with this version.

<DKA> +1 to ht

masinter: Synchronization, security issues - I may have some input -
