1) Arch doc decision
19:17:36 [Ian]
2) RDDL and namespaces
19:18:27 [Ian]

19:19:46 [Ian]
TBL: Is the question of resolving httpRange-14 before last call on the agenda?
19:20:11 [Ian]

New issues?
19:21:33 [Ian]
1. Visibility of Web Services, raised by Mark Baker
19:21:33 [Ian]
2. Character model conformance, raised by TBL
19:21:33 [Ian]
3. Meaning of URIs in RDF documents, raised by TBL
19:21:35 [Ian]
----
19:21:40 [Ian]
Visibility of Web Services, raised by Mark Baker
19:22:06 [Ian]
DO: WSA WG has been talking about different arch styles and looking at properties achieved by application of various constraints.
19:22:37 [Ian]
DO: There is a section of the 14 May draft of the document that includes text about the property of "visibility" that Mark Baker disagrees with.
19:23:21 [Ian]
DO: In particular, in non-REST systems that are using XML, visibility comes from the fact that the content is in XML.
19:24:12 [Stuart]
q?
19:24:28 [Ian]
DO: In a multi-protocol environment (with open and proprietary protocols), the assertion is that using XML-based queries to poke inside gives a certain level of visibility into what the message is doing.
19:24:42 [TBray]
q+ to admit he's confused and ask questions
19:24:44 [Ian]
DO: Mark is states that there is too much visibility (compared to REST interfaces).
19:25:03 [timbl__]
q+ to ask for a clarification of what Mark means by "restful web services", maybe with an example?
19:25:20 [Ian]
DO: The WSA is asserting that in multi-protocol environments, there are technologies for peeking into the XML structure. Mark asserts that the fact that you have to look inside means inferior visibility.
19:25:30 [Roy]
q+
19:25:38 [Ian]
zakim, mute me
19:25:38 [Zakim]
Ian was already muted, Ian
19:25:50 [Ian]
TBray: I think there is no issue here.
19:25:58 [Stuart]
ack TBray
19:25:58 [Zakim]
TBray, you wanted to admit he's confused and ask questions
19:26:16 [Ian]
TBray: I think that MB subtext is that if you have a small set of verbs, this would provide a better mechanism for "visibility". I think that's probably wrong.
19:26:35 [Ian]
TBray: Intermediaries will peek inside; pretending that that won't happen is silly.
19:27:12 [Ian]
TBray: The term "visibility" is poorly defined. And pretending that there's another way to do this than peeking inside is [missed].
19:27:53 [Ian]
zakim, mute timbl_

sorry, Ian, I do not see a party named 'timbl_'

ack timbl
19:29:00 [Zakim]
timbl__, you wanted to ask for a clarification of what Mark means by "restful web services", maybe with an example?
19:29:26 [Ian]
DO: Well-defined constrainted interface makes configuration simpler.
19:29:48 [Ian]
DO: Well-defined set of verbs improves performance.
19:29:50 [Chris]
q+ to ask if this is not inherrent in any xml protocol
19:29:56 [Ian]
zakim, who's here?

On the phone I see TimBL, Chris, Ian (muted), Stuart, TimBray, DanC, Paul, RoyF

On IRC I see TBray, Roy, Chris, Stuart, timbl_, DanC, RRSAgent, Zakim, Ian
19:30:10 [Ian]
DO: I think that "visibility" is a combination of those two concepts.
19:30:44 [Ian]
DO: An example: say you are doing GET of a stock price - you look inside the URI and the HTTP verb and the intermediary can make a decision.
19:30:49 [Ian]
DO: If you look inside a POST....
19:31:08 [Ian]
DO: Two important things here:
19:31:27 [Ian]
1) Visibility is harder when there is more than one protocol.
19:32:40 [Chris]
no, its not harder. its a question of tunelling or not, and protocol independence or not
19:32:53 [Ian]
DO: Idea is to use xpath expressions to look inside xml content. HTTP as an application protocol does an excellent job for doing things like visibility. But people want to use otherp rotocols, too.
19:33:01 [Ian]
DO: Idea is to use xpath queries for any protocol.
19:33:14 [Ian]
DO: Mark doesn't address case of deployment of application across multiple protocols.
19:33:18 [Chris]
q?
19:33:30 [TBray]
There's a fantasy here that firewall will loook at the message and say "it's a PUT and xyz is allowed to put, so I'll pass it through without looking at the XML message body." I don't buy it
19:34:09 [Ian]
TBL: What MB's point about using HTTP GET, or does he say you can use POST in a RESTful way?
19:35:22 [TBray]
over in son-of-RSS-land, we're converging on using POST for entry creation/update/deletion for reasons that seem good
19:35:47 [Roy]
Visibility is a variable property (like most properties). Things that are universal standards are inherently more "visible" than object-specific semantics, because you don't have to go look up the non-standard semantics. It is a design trade-off. There is no point in convincing Web Services to use a uniform interface, since the whole point of WSA is to develop programmable interfaces.
19:35:49 [Ian]
DC: I don't know what "visibility means.
19:35:52 [Stuart]
ack Dan
19:35:52 [Zakim]
DanC, you wanted to ask what visibility is
19:36:15 [Stuart]
ack Roy
19:36:18 [Ian]
DC: If this is only an issue of GET v. POST, I don't think we should adopt this as an issue.
19:36:59 [DanC]
that is: if this is GET vs. POST, that's issue 7.
19:36:59 [Ian]
RF: "Visibility" is what it sounds like - you can tell more about the message/interaction in some cases.
19:37:09 [Ian]
RF: I don' think this is a TAG issue.
19:37:22 [TBray]
q+
19:37:23 [Ian]
RF: If you have a programmable interface, it's by definition not the generic interface.
19:37:57 [Ian]
RF: Visibility is not absolute; it's variable.
19:38:22 [Chris]
ack chris
19:38:22 [Zakim]
Chris, you wanted to ask if this is not inherrent in any xml protocol
19:38:31 [Ian]
RF: It's also true that an HTML form composition dialog is a very visible component, so it's easy for users to anticipate params by inspection.
19:38:57 [timbl_]
I do no think we have understood the issue.
19:39:04 [timbl_]
q?
19:39:13 [Ian]
TBray: I suggest we write a note that says that Web services are inherently less visible than HTTP, this is why they are being worked on, we don't see an issue.
19:39:18 [Ian]
ack TBray
19:39:40 [Ian]
CL: To me, this is an issue of whether Web Services are opaque tunneling, or whether they add something.
19:39:57 [Ian]
zakim, who's here?

zakim, unmute TimBL
19:40:23 [Zakim]
TimBL was not muted, Ian
19:41:54 [Ian]
DO: I think that the point that needs to be made is that, in HTTP, GET/PUT/DELETE are not the end-all of communication.
19:42:00 [Ian]
DO: And other protocols are in use.
19:42:22 [Ian]
DO: So if you want to deploy an application across multiple protocols, I don't know whether you do have "better visibility" with core HTTP.
19:42:30 [Ian]
DO: You'll have to peek inside message bodies anyway.
19:43:00 [Ian]
DO: You'll want to standardize query...
19:43:00 [Chris]
if its opaque tunnelling, then peeking is bad
19:43:08 [Roy]
nope
19:43:22 [Ian]
SW: Does anyone want to take this up?
19:43:33 [Ian]
Proposed:
19:43:37 [Ian]
- Thank Mark
19:43:50 [Ian]
- Say that the TAG doesn't feel this is an issue we want to take up.
19:43:59 [Chris]
if it adding 'xml headers' then its not peeking, its part of the (extended) protocol
19:45:43 [DanC]
ack danc
19:45:43 [Zakim]
DanC, you wanted to ask to move on; we don't need to decide anything. let the record show a lack of support for adding the issue to the issues list and that's it.
19:46:35 [Roy]
zakim, unmute RoyF
19:46:36 [Zakim]
RoyF should no longer be muted
19:47:18 [Ian]

19:47:20 [Ian]
TB, RF: No.

+1 for citing PNG spec. more precedents are good
19:51:53 [Ian]
CL: The PNG spec could also be cited as an example of a spec that includes forward/backward compatibility pieces.
19:52:07 [Ian]
CL: Text seems good and clear.
19:52:18 [Ian]
IJ: CSS also has for/back compatibility features.

ack TBray
19:52:54 [Ian]
TBray: I agree that first part is useful. However, I think that determinism section is (a) not architectural and (b) a design error in schemas and dtds.
19:53:26 [Ian]
TBray: Relax NG shows this can be done.
19:53:41 [Roy]
"should provide such a facility" --> "should be self-descriptive"
19:53:44 [Ian]
DO: I can live with dropping that section.
19:54:29 [Ian]
DO: Argument that I will continue to make in favor of keeping is that the "bad choice" for dtds and schemas should be cited as bad practice.
19:54:37 [Stuart]
ack Danc
19:54:37 [Zakim]
DanC, you wanted to 2nd striking determinism
19:54:43 [Ian]
DC: No, don't talk about determinism.

DC: I don't see this as architectural. Might be interesting to visit in a finding, but not in arch doc.
19:55:33 [timbl_]
q+ to pull out the extension by enveloping
19:55:39 [Ian]
TBray: I think it's useful to publish something somewhere about good practice, but not in arch doc.
19:56:24 [Ian]
TBL: "When to tunnel" is an interesting question.
19:57:10 [Ian]
TBL: I think that it's good to put in DO's text. There seems to be a confusion between document and document type in a few places.
19:57:58 [Ian]
I thought TBL meant "the proposed text in DO's email"
19:58:05 [DanC]
but you can't be sure.

20:08:55 [Ian]
TBray: I suggest this be sent by end of day...
20:09:49 [Ian]
TBL: I think discussion was more about "not covering" than "precluding".
20:10:12 [Ian]
DC: There's some data suggesting that the AC wanted "complete doc later" and we are doing "incomplete doc now".
20:10:19 [Ian]
DC: I agree that should be sent today.
20:11:29 [Ian]
Action TBL (with IJ support if necessary): Send email about TAG expectations re: arch doc to last call today.

CL: Our charter says we may point to architectural recs elsewhere rather than define.
20:12:59 [Ian]
TBL: Issue is the distinction between policy and architectural statement.
20:13:13 [Ian]
TBL: There was a suggestion that the TAG make the policy point and leave the arch issue in the char mod.

DanC, you wanted to ask about how WGs discover this charmod bit
20:14:37 [Ian]
DC: To me this comes down to communication/enforcement. We have tried to keep the arch doc brief (so more people will read it).
20:14:43 [Stuart]
q+
20:14:58 [Ian]
DC: We talked about char mod spec being split into three. As far as I know, they have not done it.
20:15:12 [Chris]
also, putting it in arch doc means it applies to everyone, not just 'w3c wgs'
20:15:14 [Ian]
DC: I don't expect everyone to read the entire (three parts) of charmod together.
20:15:20 [Ian]
DC: I support taking this up as an isuse.
20:15:27 [Chris]
+1 to taking up this issue

20:17:51 [Ian]
TBL: Arch work is done in lots of places.
20:18:12 [Ian]
TBL: The TAG says "It's architecturally sound/unsound to do..." We don't limit ourselves to W3C WGs.
20:19:04 [Ian]
TBL: Various entities could make this statement. Reasons why the TAG should do this - a lot of the spec is technical (e.g., on canonicalization). The community has asked for "one place" to look. A two-liner would help the community, and the place for that is the arch doc.
20:20:46 [Ian]
CL: We should reiterate to I18N WG that we would like them to split their spec in 3.
20:21:08 [Chris]
based on different maturity levels
20:21:35 [Ian]
TBL: "Is is architecturally unsound to design systems that do not use the W3C Character Model?"
20:21:41 [Ian]
CL: Needs to be crisper than that.

of different sections
20:22:26 [Ian]
CL: E.g., granularity of changes and relation to requirement for normalization (e.g., after each modification in the DOM? Sum of modifications?)
20:22:52 [Ian]
TBL: "What arch issues are raised by the char mod spec?"
20:23:09 [Ian]
TBray: I would support TBL's first expression of the issue.
20:23:23 [Ian]
TBray: I wouldn't support investing more time in this issue until char mod has been split up.

TBL: Can we tell that that if they have a charmod doc, procedurally we would have no problem pointing to them.
20:27:47 [Ian]

20:28:49 [Ian]
CL: I would argue for the first part (normalization). Other parts would require CR first.
