16:28:55 [Norm]
ACTION: ht to update administrative page with pointers to relevant docs (Charter, etc.)
16:30:09 [Norm]
We'll do most of our work on the public page
16:31:41 [Norm]
Norm takes a run through the charter
16:32:57 [MSM]
zakim, who's making noise?
16:33:08 [Zakim]
MSM, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Norm (31%)
16:35:19 [ht]
q+ to wave a big stick
16:35:27 [Norm]
ack ht
16:35:27 [Zakim]
ht, you wanted to wave a big stick
16:36:42 [Norm]
HT points out that there are two kinds of WGs (broadly) ones that are inventing new stuff, ones that are standardizing existing technology and working on interoperability. We're in the latter group and are well placed to work quickly.
16:37:41 [Norm]
AlexM wonders how others feel about the charter and if there's consensus regarding the goals
16:38:48 [Norm]
AlexM: I have two hot buttons: extensibility and streaming pipelines
16:40:00 [Norm]
Richard: Scripting language has two parts: having a way to specify a sequence of processes and to talk about what form the data is in as it passes through the process. It would be nice if we could do the former without constraining the latter
16:40:38 [Norm]
Richard: One could imagine describing a pipeline without talking about data models and have different implementations that did the same thing with different data models
16:40:47 [MSM]
Richard, do you mean one implementation that passes SAX events at the process boundaries, and one that passes a DOM around, and one that passes XML (or NSGML) around?
16:40:58 [richard]
yes, that sort of choice
16:41:02 [MSM]
+1
16:41:36 [MSM]
q+ to wander off to the second goal (so don't call on me til we're done discussing the first deliverable)
16:41:41 [Norm]
Eric: Richard has a good point; those can be separated and we shouldn't enforce a particular data model
16:42:05 [Norm]
Eric: Wonders if the use cases we have today can be met with this kind of implementation
16:42:44 [Norm]
Eric: It's not necessary that V1 be able to do everything in every pipline language. We should try to get the bulk of the use cases and let individual vendors provide extensions for the rest.
16:43:50 [Norm]
Rui: I think there should be some kind of registry so that we can have common components that do the same thing in different implementations
16:44:15 [ht]
q+
16:44:27 [richard]
q+
16:44:33 [Norm]
Rui: different implementations should be able to get the same results with the core components
16:44:35 [MSM]
queue=ht, richard, MSM
16:44:42 [Norm]
ack ht
16:45:38 [Norm]
ht: If I understand Rui correctly, it addresses one of the weaknesses of the original Sun pipeline note which is the awkardness of having to have indirection to identify what each stage of the pipeline does
16:46:04 [rlopes]
exactly
16:46:23 [Norm]
ht: If you had a registry, you could identify small names for the processes that do things, like registering "XSLT" for the XSLT 1.0 process
16:47:07 [Norm]
ack richard
16:47:51 [Norm]
richard: proposes that URIs could be used to identify such components; there will be some standard (and some non-standard) components and they will need to be named
16:48:18 [Norm]
richard: it would be nice if you could abstract away exactly how the data is provided to these components
16:48:46 [Norm]
richard: on the one hand you have a scripting language and on the other hands you have components that describe the kinds of inputs that they accept
16:50:35 [Norm]
ht: I'm going to signal early that I think the hard question is going to be conditionals and whether or not we have some form of conditionality. The driving force behind answering that is probably going to be error handling. I'm not sure I have a clear opinion.
16:51:38 [Norm]
ack msm
16:51:57 [MSM]
zakim, unmute Michael
16:51:57 [Zakim]
Michael should no longer be muted
16:52:07 [Norm]
zakim, michael is msm
16:52:07 [Zakim]
+msm; got it
16:52:44 [Norm]
MSM: one goal for the first deliverable: I'd like to propose that the spec be able to be short; no more than 15 normative pages.
16:53:08 [Norm]
MSM: The Algol 60 report is 17 pages.
16:53:23 [Norm]
MSM: It ought to be implementable by a desperate perl hacker in a week or two.
16:54:37 [Norm]
MSM: I'm nervous about the second deliverable. I think it may not be possible. While I agree that there are contexts, like browsers, where it makes sense to have a default processing model, but there's a lot of pressure to force XML away from a declarative semantics and towards an imperative semantics and its going to be difficult to resist that pressure if we aren't resolute.
16:55:07 [Norm]
MSM: I think it's a trap to assign imperative semantics to the !DOCTYPE declaration or the existinance of a schema location hint.
16:55:25 [Norm]
MSM: Those are declarative statements, not requests that processing occur
16:55:51 [Norm]
MSM: It's very difficult to describe a default semantics without becoming imperative.
16:57:50 [PGrosso]
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-proc-model-req-20040405/
16:58:13 [Norm]
Chair encourages WG members to contribute use cases that they feel the should be solved by the core language
16:58:49 [Norm]
Richard asks why the Core WG requirements document isn't in the charter
16:58:55 [Norm]
Norm suggests oversight.
