07:24:51 [Ian]
PC: Schedule for disposing of LC comments?
07:25:32 [Ian]
PC: I'd like to have a sense of whether we will need extra meetings to dispose of the issues.
07:26:57 [Ian]
Resolved: To meet 9-11 August in Ottawa

07:29:02 [Ian]
[Reconsidering that question]
07:29:43 [Ian]
SW: I will have to give regrets for a 12-14 May meeting. But I don't object to the meeting.
07:30:00 [Ian]
DC: Having meetings before the AC meeting is frowned upon.
07:30:43 [Ian]
IJ: I probably won't be able to attend.
07:30:52 [Ian]
Can make it: MJ, DO, PC, RF
07:31:01 [Ian]
SW: Recall that TBL accepted to host the meeting.
07:32:53 [Ian]
PC: I was going to propose meeting before the AC meeting in Nov....is that as likely to be rejected?
07:32:53 [Ian]
DC: More notice may give us more flexibility.

07:40:19 [Ian]
Re slide 5:
07:40:34 [Ian]
DC: I recommend doing a run-through to ensure that all text is on screen.
07:40:37 [DanC_jam]
pls switch order on "things we produce" slide
07:40:45 [Ian]
(re slide 4: )
07:42:48 [Ian]
re slide 6: Green won't be legible.
07:42:53 [Ian]
DC: Suggest moving info on deadline of LC to its own slide.
07:42:54 [Ian]
PC: Right: "You have until Friday"
07:43:17 [Ian]
DC: If you are going to be late, send a msg to the TAG.
07:44:51 [Ian]
SW: Slide 6 is to be edited (replaced by general themes)
07:45:59 [Ian]
PC: We need to be able to stand before the plenary crowd and be able to tell people what we are expecting to do other than WebArch in the next year.
07:47:52 [Ian]
[Discussion of a few things that we put on hold before Arch Doc LC]
07:48:14 [Ian]
DC: Let's try to prioritize during the break.

Review of DO slides
07:49:26 [Ian]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2004Feb/0148.html
07:50:07 [Ian]
"Requires "Must Ignore" rule"
07:51:05 [Ian]
IJ: "Requires" might be too strong. What about "is useful".
07:51:14 [Ian]
DC: On a slide it's ok with me; in a document I might look more closely.
07:51:33 [DanC_jam]
i.e. the argument seems to flow.
07:51:39 [Ian]
PC: Mention to people that these slides are a reduction of the draft finding.
07:52:10 [Ian]
DO: First slide is background, second is about finding's approach to ext/versioning.
07:52:59 [Ian]
PC: Tell people that material on third slide used to be in finding but no longer since there was not consensus (show them the URI).
07:55:21 [Ian]
DC: In slide on illegal schema, highlight "minOccurs" and "any"
07:55:32 [Ian]
PC: Cite Eve Maler's previous work.
07:55:59 [Ian]
PC: This predates schema (Eve's work was in DTD design)
07:56:06 [Ian]
PC: General to schema design.
07:56:58 [Ian]
DO: "Can't validate extensions"
07:57:24 [Ian]
DO: If I have a name element and an address element and I add two extensions (e.g., last name and area code), I can't include additional constraints.
07:57:44 [Ian]
PC: That's not "validate".
07:58:01 [Ian]
DO: Ah, ok, rather you can't write a constraint across extensions.
07:58:17 [DanC_jam]
(reagle grumbled about this sort of thing when applying XML Schema to DSig, as I recall.)
07:58:45 [Ian]
PC: You open multiple extension points and constain how they are used; you can't write a schema to do so.
07:58:51 [Ian]
DO: You can't refine the wildcard.
08:00:05 [Ian]
DO: Similarly, you can't do multiple revisions that progressively refine constraints.
08:00:42 [Ian]
PC: This presentation is focused on XML Schema; people may say "this is possible in other type systems"
08:00:53 [Ian]
DO: That would be good [grinning ear-to-ear ;]
08:05:02 [Ian]
PC: Can you define an extensibility mechanism in schema without considering operations on instances?
08:05:48 [Norm]
DO: If I have a bunch of schema datatypes in my domain, then the extensions might want to be constrained by validity, but you might also want the user to be able to say that some extensions are valid only when certain operations will be used
08:05:52 [Norm]
s/DO/PC/
08:06:25 [Norm]
PC: Take a set of user defined types and a set of user defined functions that operated over them, you might want to be able to say not only what's valid in the instances, but also what's valid in the face of these operations
08:06:46 [Norm]
DO: Is this similar to WSDL operations?
08:07:05 [Norm]
PC: Consider mentioning not only the schema language but also what's built on top of the schema language
08:07:31 [Norm]
DC: This doesn't say anything about RELAX NG. I've seen a lot of people just switching schema languages.
08:07:52 [Norm]
DO: Will siginficant communities adopt RELAX NG because of restrictions here
08:08:15 [Norm]
DO: I don't even want to say why
08:09:03 [Norm]
NW: I don't think we need to drop any, cast a wide net for discussion
08:09:56 [Norm]
DO: Some things I decided not to put on the slides: intersection of versions and identifiers, ...
08:10:39 [Norm]
PC: Change "XML Schema 1.1" to "XML Schema 1.1 Requirements" because there's no WD
08:12:30 [Norm]
Roy presents his slides...
08:13:24 [Ian]
[RF no uri for slides yet]
08:13:35 [Ian]
[typo on TOC]
08:19:08 [Ian]
[Broken links and ambiguity]
08:19:26 [Ian]
[Bifurcation]
08:19:59 [Ian]
RF: Bifurcation is phenomenon when two Webs are created when their could be one.
08:20:14 [Ian]
RF: Related to Metcalfe's law.
08:20:39 [DanC_jam]
RF: I think a picture is needed for Bifurcation slide. [several concur]
08:21:11 [Ian]
[I18N]
08:21:29 [Ian]
RF: Should we compare IRIs or convert to URI first?
08:21:48 [Ian]
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#IRIEverywhere-27
08:22:14 [Ian]
PC: include that URI
08:22:17 [DanC_jam]
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/issues.html#IRIEverywhere-27
08:22:39 [Ian]
RF: How do we reduce aliases (may not be part of IRIEverywhere-27
08:22:41 [Ian]
)
08:23:18 [Ian]
MD: You don't have an IRI equivalence everywhere.
08:23:27 [Ian]
DC: RDF Core is doing IRI equivalence.
08:23:42 [Ian]
MD: XSLT implementations also use IRI equivalence.
08:23:55 [Ian]
[Role of Frad Ids]
08:24:43 [Ian]
DC: Last bullet of 5 is taking a position.
08:24:53 [Ian]
RF: Should have a "?" after it (related to httpRange-14)
08:26:04 [Ian]
RF: The last bullet is not the same as question of whether an abstract resource must be identified using a frag id.
08:26:20 [Ian]
DC: I disagree with RF's last bullet on slide 5 as the consensus of the slide.
08:26:38 [Ian]
SW: Recall that the slides are designed to promote discussion.
08:26:50 [Ian]
DC: I'm ok if the slides are presented as Roy's position.
08:27:02 [Ian]
RF: I understand that the idea is to post the point in a way that raises discussion.
08:27:55 [Ian]
DO: Say anything about equiv of frag ids on server?
08:28:15 [DanC_jam]
RF: anything we've talked about that aren't on here? SW: abstract component references RF: that's the role of frag ids. [DC: could be more clearly so.]
08:29:02 [Ian]
RF: "Doing things like frag ids without frag ids"
08:29:09 [Ian]
RF: Getting the server to provide more specific resources.
08:29:12 [Ian]
(e.g.)
08:29:36 [Ian]
MD: Point out that the URI spec status.
08:30:53 [Ian]
IJ: Worth pointing out that "URI" now includes frag id.
08:31:04 [Ian]
DC: If you do, make noises like "This is done"
08:31:17 [Ian]
RF: Might talk about during discussion of RFC 2396.
08:31:41 [Ian]
MD: Syntactic detail; but does concern how one spec refers to another.

08:34:49 [Ian]
DC: There's a solution brewing.
08:34:59 [Ian]
They have an issue on safe operations:
08:35:08 [Ian]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2002May/0159.html
08:35:38 [Ian]
DC: Please consider my action closed. Seems like progress in the right direction in the WSDL WG.
08:35:56 [Ian]
plh-tag: The WSDL has not decided about whether to integrate in WSDL 2.0; still under discussion.
08:36:25 [Ian]
DC: I think an update to the finding is in order; community not clear.
08:36:54 [Ian]
Resolved that DC's action is completed.
08:38:12 [Ian]
DC: The most useful thing would be to meet with the WSDL folks an show them proposed text for the finding.
08:38:12 [Ian]
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html#webservices
08:38:12 [Ian]

08:38:26 [DanC_jam]
section 6
08:38:43 [Ian]
"Section 3 WSDL 1.2 Bindings [WSDL] provides a binding to HTTP GET, which makes it possible to respect the principle of using GET for safe operations. However, to represent safety in a more straightforward manner, it should be a property of operations themselves, not just a feature of bindings.
08:38:43 [Ian]
"
08:39:07 [Ian]
DC: I'd be happy to leave this text alone.
08:39:12 [Ian]
plh-tag: The text is appropriate.
08:39:55 [Ian]
DO: The WSDL WG has accepted this as an issue.
08:40:20 [Ian]
DO: The WG will probably do this as an extension rather as part of the core spec.
08:40:28 [Ian]
DO: People will have a standardized way of doing the annotation.
08:40:30 [Ian]
DC: That won't be good enough for me.

Resolved: DO's action is completed: "Ask WSDL WG to look at finding; ask them if marking operations as safe in WSDL is one of their requirements."
08:43:45 [Ian]
PC to PLH: Will WSDL WG give us comments on Webarch by deadline?
08:43:56 [Ian]
plh-tag: Don't know; I'll try to find out.
08:44:10 [Ian]
DC: Please let us know in any case.

RF: I think TBL has read part of RFC2396bis. I know he's reviewed the first three major sections; I received comments from him.
08:47:05 [Ian]
SW: Track RFC2396bis where Tim Bray text has been integrated. Comment within the IETF process.

08:51:12 [Ian]
SW: Publish these findings as WG Notes?
08:51:16 [Ian]
DC: I would support publishing as Notes.
08:51:51 [Ian]
DC: +1 to Note
08:52:28 [Ian]
PC: I think that publishing as a Note is too heavyweight.
08:53:35 [Ian]
SW: Janet has requested moving to Note since it makes life easier for Comm Team to publicize.
08:55:14 [Ian]
IJ: If you ask me whether it's a heavyweight process to put on TR page, I would say no (already pubrules compliant, e.g.)

"..
09:45:27 [Ian]
It is incorrect to suggest that there is any semantic relation between
09:45:27 [Ian]
the meaning of a URI used as a namespace name and the meaning of terms
09:45:28 [Ian]
grounded in that namespace...
09:45:28 [Ian]
Strongly advise the removal of both this term from the publication
09:45:31 [Ian]
entirely but particularly this incorrect definition (see discussion
09:45:32 [Ian]
above). The assertion that every URI used as a namespace name denotes
09:45:34 [Ian]
a namespace document is false.
09:45:39 [Ian]
"
09:48:13 [Ian]
Problem that "namespace document" appears in the story; but is not defined in the webarch text.
09:50:41 [Ian]
DC: Patrick is objecting to the term "namespace document".
09:51:32 [Ian]
DO: I think that I brought this up earlier in Vancouver. Why do we have this term "namespace document".
09:52:03 [Ian]
DO: I recall Tim Bray pushing back and saying that this is a colloquialism that people understand.
09:52:18 [Ian]
DO: A sort of "named representation".
09:53:33 [marioj]
marioj has joined #tagmem
09:53:41 [Ian]
NW: Namespace names only appear in the decl of the prefixes for syntactic sugar.
09:53:47 [Ian]
RF: That would be saying that namespaces are not resources.
09:54:57 [Ian]
DC: Parallel -
09:55:13 [Ian]
href="chapter_on_ingredients"
09:55:28 [Ian]
<base href="http://www.example.com/recipes/">
09:55:49 [Ian]
<a href="chapter_on_ingredients">ing</a>.
09:56:05 [Ian]
You don't expect to be able to follow the base URI ref; it's just syntactic sugar.
09:56:22 [Ian]
DC: I was reluctantly convinced by that parallel, but I still agree with the Webarch text.
09:56:50 [Ian]
RF: I would say that while some namespaces are not resources currently, it's better to think of them as resources and that they may have meaningful representations.
09:57:23 [Ian]
PC: Point also the QName finding, which refers to the formatting objects spec, where we are associating meaning to components.
09:57:35 [Ian]
NW: I don't think that would be a convincing parallel.
09:58:01 [Ian]
s/formatting objects/functions and operators
09:58:35 [Ian]
PC: Becomes more and more concrete as more people want to refer to things in the namespace.
09:59:44 [Ian]
IJ: Should we define namespace document (or reuse a defn)?
10:00:49 [Ian]
IJ: NS document is the colloquial name for a representation you get back by dereferencing a namespace URI.
10:01:00 [DanC_jam]
hmm... "If a namespace declaration binds PFX to I and the I can be access to get a representation, then the resource identified by I is a namespace document."
10:01:07 [Ian]
SW: Careful about use of "document" here.
10:01:51 [Ian]
PC: +1 to DC's text.
10:02:06 [Ian]
NW: +1
10:02:56 [Ian]
IJ: Will people say "No, the resource is the namespace."?
10:03:02 [Ian]
DC: We may get those comments.
10:03:39 [Ian]
DC: I don't take an opinion on whether the namespace is a resource.
10:04:02 [DanC_jam]
clarifying use of variables and fixing 2 typos: "If a namespace declaration binds prefix PFX to URI I and I can be accessed to get a representation, then the resource identified by I is a namespace document."
10:05:33 [Ian]
DC: Current dfn says URI identifies by a ns and a ns document
10:05:45 [Ian]
DC: Unambiguous, but may not make you comfortable.
10:07:19 [DanC_jam]
defNsDoc2: "If a namespace declaration binds prefix PFX to URI I and I can be accessed to get a representation R, then R is a namespace document."
10:07:31 [Ian]
SW: Proposed - call this a "namespace representation" instead.
10:07:49 [DanC_jam]
defNsDoc2r: "If a namespace declaration binds prefix PFX to URI I and I can be accessed to get a representation R, then R is a namespace representation."
10:09:13 [Ian]
[RF on choice in other specs of "representation" over "document"]
10:09:26 [DanC_jam]
DO: you chose "representation" over "document"...? RF: to distinguish compound documents from representations of components.
10:09:26 [Stuart]
defNsDoc3skw: "The term NSD is a colloquail term that is intended to 'mean' a representation of a namespace."
10:10:45 [Ian]

SW: 2r without variables
10:14:54 [Ian]
MJ: 2r without variables
10:15:21 [Ian]
DO: I don't like 2r. People in the community say "namespace document".
10:16:00 [Norm]
If a namespace declaration binds a prefix to a URI, and that URI can be dereferenced to get a representation, then that is a namespace representation.
10:16:43 [DaveO]

10:17:14 [Ian]
IJ: Maybe it's useful here to combine 2r and 3skw to say "We are explicitly saying here that a namespace document is a representation of a resource, and that the resource is a namespace, not a namespace document."
10:18:15 [Ian]
RF: I disagree with IJ.
10:18:41 [DanC_jam]
DC: I'm pretty sure timbl means the resource, not the representation, by "namespace document". I feel obliged to object on his behalf.
10:18:51 [Ian]
RF: I like NW's.
10:21:28 [Ian]
IJ: Modifying NW's proposal If a namespace declaration binds a prefix to a URI, and that URI can be dereferenced to get a representation, then that is a namespace representation. The TAG interprets the community's use of the phrase "namespace document" to be synonymous with namespace representation.
10:22:18 [Ian]
DC: Don't like "The TAG interprets"
10:22:45 [Ian]
Proposed to adopt NW's definition for Webarch as a substitute for namespace document.
10:22:55 [Ian]
"If a namespace declaration binds a prefix to a URI, and that URI can be dereferenced to get a representation, then that is a namespace representation."
10:22:59 [Ian]
DC: I object.
10:23:02 [Ian]
DO: I abstain.
10:23:21 [Ian]
So resolved.
10:23:52 [Ian]

Problem in stickler5 is phrase "resource is unreliable"
10:31:44 [Ian]
[Discussion of what "unreliability" means here - architectural, social]
10:31:55 [Ian]
NW: "Unpredictable" instead of "unreliable".
10:32:57 [Ian]

"Para 3 seems to contradict the last statement of para 1. In para 1
10:37:18 [Ian]
it is said that POST requests and responses cannot be referenced
10:37:18 [Ian]
by URIs, yet para 3 describes a means to do just that.
10:37:18 [Ian]
It seems that what is meant to be said in para 1 is that, per the
10:37:18 [Ian]
default behavior of POST, the request and response are not normally
10:37:20 [Ian]
assigned distinct URIs by which they can be later referenced. ???

10:40:09 [Ian]
(...can't be bookmarked...)
10:40:09 [Ian]
DC: I propose a tweak to the story to address this issue.
10:40:13 [Ian]
RF: Para 3 is wrong.
10:40:30 [Ian]
RF: Content location header does not correspond to the POST transaction. Depending on the response code, it could mean that a new resource was created.
10:42:58 [Ian]
RF: Under no circumstances does it correspond to the POST operation itself.
10:42:58 [Ian]
RF: The section heading is weird.
10:46:11 [Ian]
Action IJ: Propose a new section heading for 3.5.1.
10:46:12 [Ian]
RF: Section makes more sense if not about "accounting".
10:46:23 [Ian]
RF: Two topics in this section:
10:46:24 [Ian]
- Paper trail
10:46:27 [Ian]
- Bookmarking results of POST
10:46:28 [Ian]
DC: But using content-location is like giving someone a receipt.
10:46:32 [Ian]
RF: That depends on response code.
10:46:38 [Ian]
DC: I'd like to advocate the use of content-location for tracking.

Ann Bassetti: I don't get the "unsafe" part from the current text.

10:50:17 [Ian]
MD: How do you move to CR if there's not much implementation experience for tihs.
10:50:20 [Ian]
RF: How about a section on accounting and another section on identifiers for post responses.
10:50:27 [Ian]
PC: On "email can be copied to public archives" note that email can be forged.
10:51:25 [Ian]

"To enable the greatest number of independent agents to interpret representation data in a consistent manner (i.e., according to a common set of specifications), the Web architecture adopts the first choice: representation metadata, when provided by the sender of a representation, is authoritative in defining the nature of the representation being sent.

11:01:24 [Ian]
"Section 3.4, para 2:
11:01:24 [Ian]
The text of this paragraph is a bit too strong regarding URI owner's
11:01:24 [Ian]
rights.
11:01:24 [Ian]
The owner of a URI has the right to decide which representations
11:01:26 [Ian]
of the denoted resource are accessible via that URI -- but in fact
11:01:28 [Ian]
anyone has the license to create a representation of that resource,
11:01:30 [Ian]
and indirectly associate that representation via another URI
11:01:33 [Ian]
that is declared (e.g. using own:sameAs) as semantically equivalent.
11:01:34 [Ian]
I.e. the rights of the owner of a URI are limited to the access of
11:01:36 [Ian]
representations via that particular URI, not (necessarily) to total
11:01:39 [Ian]
control of the resource denoted as well as any and all representations
11:01:40 [Ian]

(KC=Kendall Clark)
11:05:50 [Ian]
KC: If my user agent does what I want it to do, without notifying me, then that's ok by me.
11:06:52 [Ian]
RF: The reason that silent recovery is harmful is that it prevents the person who made the error from fixing it.
11:07:51 [Ian]
RF: There's no way for the technology to know whether someone is a first party or a third party.
11:10:22 [Ian]
KC: Adding a sentence about configuration might help the reader. I think it's ok when my user agent, per my instructions, does not notify me when certain types of errors occur.

Yesterday's core minutes on xmlChunk-44: http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/02/xml-f2f-20040301-minutes.htm#xml-chunk
13:09:06 [Norm]
That link is probably member-only
13:09:17 [Ian]
Summary of xmlChunk-44
13:10:36 [Ian]
NW: Broken down into:
13:10:46 [Ian]
1) xml:lang
13:10:46 [Ian]
2) Encoding "just chunks"
13:10:47 [Ian]
NW: On xml:lang, considered adding a language property to the infoset to provide access to the inherited value.
13:10:51 [Ian]
NW: But the xml spec talks about xml:lang as representing "intent".
13:11:15 [Ian]
NW: WRT to passing pieces of XML, one thought was to strip away context and leave an xpointer in place back to original context.
13:11:33 [Ian]
NW: Another issue was canonical form to allow digital signatures. Core WG not inclined to take that on.
13:11:48 [timbl]
A large part of this roblem is that many things have been left open by the core WG, but we need some definedc *common* answers.
13:11:58 [timbl]
Zakim, unmute me
13:11:58 [Zakim]
TimBL should no longer be muted
13:13:02 [Ian]
Paul: Our suggestion re chunk passing seems to be a subset (logically) of what the interchange spec says.
13:13:29 [Ian]
timbl: Does that spec say whether you can compare chunks for equality?
13:13:31 [Ian]
PC: No.

q+ re "as much or as little as you want"
13:13:56 [Ian]
s/PC/PG
13:14:08 [timbl]
q+ to discuss "as much or as little as you want"
13:14:17 [Ian]
PGrosso: Equality of infoset would be the right place.
13:14:22 [Ian]
DC: But that's not defined.
13:14:41 [Ian]
NW: It's not clear what the semantics of quality means in a widely accepted way.
13:15:15 [Ian]
DC: While people don't necessarily agree, it would be really useful (to have an equality function).
13:15:40 [Ian]
PC: We are having a hard time figuring out what a default "deep equals" function does.
13:15:47 [timbl]
q?
13:16:47 [timbl]
q+ to also point out we had a similar problem with URI equality and we have got along way
13:16:51 [Ian]
[Discussion of deep equals possibilities]
13:18:06 [Ian]
TBL: I agree with DC and want to point that there are times when the user wants to use XML as a data type.
13:18:09 [DanC_jam]
DC: how about this idea for chunk:equals: if it makes the same calls thru SAX, then it's the same.
13:18:14 [Ian]
TBL: But there's no equality function in this data type.
13:19:15 [Ian]
[TBL talks about TAG experience with URI equality stack]
13:19:42 [Ian]
TBL: Exclusive canonicalization will work for some cases.
13:19:53 [Ian]
TBL: Can the bar be raised a little higher to include xml:lang.
13:20:01 [Ian]
TBL: We are looking for a std that says what the value space is.
13:20:21 [Ian]
TBL: I agree that a lot of people will want their oar in the water. But if the XML Core WG doesn't do this, who will?
13:20:34 [Ian]
TBL: I think that other groups don't have a mandate to get agreement on this.
13:21:22 [PGrosso]
q+ to ask TBL if he's talking about equality of serialized form or infosets
13:21:55 [Ian]
Michael Rys: I think that not having default equality gives people incentive to think about what equality serves their purpose.
13:21:59 [Stuart]

13:22:11 [Ian]
MR: I think that there's not one useful equality function for the XML data type.
13:22:25 [timbl]

13:22:38 [Ian]

13:23:26 [Stuart]
q+pc
13:23:47 [DanC_jam]
yup, foo:equal will form an equivalence relation on any serialization mechanism.
13:24:19 [Ian]
[TBL defines a canonicalized form off the cuff]
13:24:34 [Ian]
TBL: I think that defining the equivalence class is harder than defining a canonical form.
13:24:41 [Stuart]
ack mr
13:25:00 [timbl]
Suppose you have an equivalnce class of XML erialization, such that their infosets are deemed "foo-equal".
13:25:05 [Ian]
MR: Please correct my above comment - I see lots of useful equality functions; I don't think there's one to easily standardize.
13:25:21 [Ian]
MR: There are already four canonicalizations I'm aware of.
13:25:29 [Ian]
MR: And there are some that are very useful for certain applications.
13:25:33 [timbl]
Then I can define teh canonical form as the smallest (in unicode std sort order #15) of those serialization.
13:25:36 [DanC_jam]
timbl argues that c14n is not harder than equality, since any equality relation imposes an equivalence relation on serializations, and the first/shortest serialization can be declared canonical.
13:25:37 [DV]
there is no Infoset -> serialization function, there is corner cases where such a serialization is "tricky"

If you don't define equality, you can't serialize it at all. because you don't know whether you have serialized it right.

I think it could be done. I can imagine that it might be useful. Dan made a parenthetical remark in IRC about the danger of stamping the W3C imprameture on this functionality. If we had it, the XQuery/XPath functions and operators spec would have to define a function to do it. I worry that the conflict between "standard equality" and "the right equality operator for this application" would create confusion and introduce new problems. I don't know if they'd be lar

14:25:34 [Norm]
Is this really about embedding XHTML in RDF?
14:26:49 [Ian]
JM: If this is a problem of serialization, the Core WG washed their hands of this years ago....
14:27:11 [Ian]
JM: We didn't find use cases outside of digital signatures.
14:28:03 [Ian]
JM: Unclear to me that the RDF WG has not chosen the right set of tools to meet its needs.
14:28:09 [Ian]
JM: I think that the infoset is the right tool.
14:28:20 [Ian]
(for taking content from one context to another).
14:28:31 [Ian]
JM: I don't think exclusive canonicalization is the right approach.
14:28:33 [DanC_jam]
DanC: (in reply to "we didn't find any customers"): maybe I [as XML activity lead at the time] didn't get on enough airplanes and find them.
14:28:39 [Norm]
It is demonstrably the wrong answer in that I can't store an xsl:template as an XML literal in a property value
14:28:47 [Ian]
TBL: But the RDF folks need to serialize as well to send across the wire.
14:28:56 [Ian]
TBL: You need to know when you've correctly serialized.

16:10:55 [MSM]
nm: i'm glad we're seeing interest in this. but it's important not to oversimplify the problem
16:11:22 [MSM]
some dimensions: (1) whom do you trust to figure this out? one answer is: the guy who developed v1 of the vocabulary
16:11:41 [MSM]
another answer is: the sender of the message (instance-based vs schema-based)
16:11:59 [MSM]
(2) I think there's an explicit assumption that a given vocabulary has a given processing model and semantics
16:12:09 [MSM]
which means you can say what it means to 'ignore' something.
16:12:32 [MSM]
But consider a purchase order vocabulary, which has a phone number (to enable call-backs when necessary).
16:12:51 [MSM]
in v1 we screwed up because we forgot to put a country code into the phone number
16:13:00 [MSM]
now we need to add it.
16:13:29 [MSM]
We don't want to refuse to store the purchase order because our old back-version schema doesn't have 'countryCode' inside the phone number
16:13:53 [MSM]
we do, however, want not to make the phone call by means of just ignoring the countryCode element.

but i'm surprised to see a conflict between wildcard and falling back on rigidly defined schema
16:18:15 [ht]
We discussed this morning that "must ignore" works well IF you make certain assumptions about the kind of languages people will define, but not otherwise
16:18:22 [MSM]
the way most programming languages export named interfaces is to say 'this is one way to match foo' but not 'these are the only ways to match foo'

ack MR
16:25:44 [MSM]
MRys: XML is often used in a late-bound context. One way to handle this is simply to have a new schema defining the same namespace, and to use it.
16:26:05 [MSM]
Also, distinguish versioning from extensibility (scribe's note - is this correct paraphrase?)
16:26:27 [MSM]
there is no point in adding new function if the old function still isn't understood or used
16:26:53 [MSM]
adding new material will scare people back to XDR, DTDs, SOX, Relax NG
16:27:04 [MSM]
the way to address versioning is: do it at a separate level.
