agendum 4. "XHTML 1.1 Module for RDFa" taken up [from RalphS]
13:22:13 [RalphS]
ACTION: MarkB to ask Shane to make his document public [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/03/19-rdfa-minutes.html#action23]
13:22:18 [RalphS]
-- done
13:22:33 [RalphS]
Shane: I did not realize that there was a problem with using the HTML Member-only area
13:22:48 [RalphS]
Steven: part of the XHTML2 WG transition will be to move all our drafts to public space
13:23:03 [RalphS]
Shane: there are some outstanding actions the XHTML2 WG wants to address
13:23:12 [RalphS]
... let me explain the architecture of modules
13:23:31 [RalphS]
... a module is like a function library; it's a freestanding list of components
13:23:56 [RalphS]
... the example DOCTYPE I cited above does function
13:24:01 [RalphS]
... and it permits href everywhere
13:24:24 [RalphS]
... architecturally it was gratifying to see that stuff designed back in 1999 does support this
13:24:41 [RalphS]
... I believe this is correctly implemented both as DTD and XML Schema
13:24:59 [RalphS]
... I feel this is ready to go public, module a handful of issues I posted to the XHTML2 WG
13:25:11 [RalphS]
... I expect the XHTML2 WG can resolve these within a couple of days
13:25:35 [RalphS]
Steven: this will work out-of-the-box in the W3C HTML validator
13:25:46 [RalphS]
... but we should warn the W3C Webmaster that we're going to use this
13:25:52 [RalphS]
Ben: will it be a dropdown in the validator?
13:25:58 [RalphS]
Steven: not sure, good idea
13:26:37 [RalphS]
Shane: as an exercise, I temporarily changed the System Identifier in a test document to something known to the W3C validator and it did access the DTD
13:26:50 [RalphS]
... the W3C validator is reasonably smart
13:27:06 [RalphS]
Ben: what are the consequences of viewing a document like this in current browsers?
13:27:35 [RalphS]
Steven: a DTD declaration does trigger "standards mode" in deployed browsers but they don't complain
13:27:37 [markbirbeck]
markbirbeck has joined #rdfa
13:28:03 [RalphS]
... obviously, they don't do anything with hrefs on other elements
13:28:19 [RalphS]
... and the DOM won't necessarily contain all the attributes
13:28:30 [RalphS]
Ben: what's the reason for allowing href everywhere in this module?
13:28:42 [RalphS]
Steven: RDFa needs it, like @rel everywhere
13:29:07 [RalphS]
Ben: just to be devil's advocate, <li href=..."> won't appear as a link
13:29:16 [RalphS]
Steven: right, but the syntax document specifies it
13:29:43 [RalphS]
Ben: I thought we were not going to try to add @href everywhere for XHTML 1.1 module
13:29:57 [RalphS]
Steven: yes, a long time ago we thought it wouldn't be possible but Shane figured out how to do it
13:30:09 [RalphS]
Ben: but if @href is not rendered as a link, should we still do it?
13:30:15 [RalphS]
Steven: I don't see it as a problem
13:30:32 [RalphS]
... people shouldn't expect @href to render as a link everywhere, just with A
13:30:47 [RalphS]
... the only clickable links will be those with A
13:30:57 [RalphS]
Ben: I expect some negative feedback on that
13:31:06 [RalphS]
... links that don't render as clickable links
13:31:23 [RalphS]
Shane: The RDFa spec does not require every @HREF to be clickable
13:31:30 [RalphS]
... isn't it required for generating some triples?
13:32:37 [RalphS]
Ralph: it might make sense to revisit our expectations w.r.t @HREF everywhere and what would render as clickable
13:32:40 [mhausenblas]
q+
13:32:44 [ShaneM]
Actually, the xhtml-rdfa spec requires that conforming user agents make @href clickable.
13:32:46 [markbirbeck]
q+
13:33:07 [RalphS]
... but I understood our goals for the XHTML 1.1 module as "do as much as we could of the full design with the constraints of 1.1 modularizaion"
13:33:21 [RalphS]
... so I'm pleased if Shane has found a way to support more of the full design
13:33:56 [RalphS]
Ben: [example of DIV, with bnode becoming the triple object]
13:34:28 [RalphS]
Mark: in the XHTML2 WG discussion, some things were added back in the 1.1 module that this TF had removed thinking it couldn't be done
13:35:04 [RalphS]
Mark: should we try to put in all the features we can and then add a separate issue on creating a lighter profile?
13:35:37 [RalphS]
... we can discuss whether we need a lighter profile that conforms more closely to HTML
13:35:44 [RalphS]
Ben: yes, that's exactly my concern
13:36:05 [RalphS]
... even if our DTD allows META in the body, current browsers will relocate the elements in the DOM to the head
13:36:17 [Steven]
q+
13:36:50 [RalphS]
... @HREF on non-anchor elements is a different, lesser, kind of conflict with HTML but may still cause unexpected results
13:37:09 [RalphS]
Mark: the idea is to say "if you form your document in this way, it will work in the following environments"
13:37:31 [RalphS]
... recent conversation with Dave Raggett about server-side processing
13:37:57 [RalphS]
... rather than going to the lowest common denominator, let's consider [profile] guidelines
13:38:03 [RalphS]
Michael: sounds like 'levels' to me
13:38:18 [RalphS]
... question is also what an agent will see
13:38:37 [RalphS]
... I'd like to see semweb agents being able to see more @HREF objects
13:38:44 [RalphS]
... so I don't see this from a SemWeb point of view
13:39:00 [RalphS]
... the concern is only what users will see in the browser
13:39:06 [RalphS]
Steven: regarding META and LINK in body ...
13:39:39 [RalphS]
... a few weeks ago a concern was raised about relying on elements in the XHTML namespace
13:39:58 [RalphS]
... there's still room in the design space there; I'd like to investigate decoupling these more
13:40:29 [RalphS]
Ben: from the viewpoint of an HTML author, I would find it surprising that RDFa would change how things are expected to be rendered
13:40:36 [RalphS]
... I'd consider this a version change to HTML
13:40:46 [RalphS]
Steven: what rendering do you think will change?
13:40:52 [markbirbeck]
q+
13:41:16 [RalphS]
Ben: an HTML author will think of RDFa only as an extension to add metadata
13:43:01 [ShaneM]
xhtml-rdfa says: "ctuation occurs as the default action of a [DOM] DOMActivate event for the element on which the attribute occurs (for instance as the result of the user clicking on the associated element). If elements contained within an element using an href also use an href attribute, the User Agent must provide a mechanism for actuating any of these "nested" URIs."
13:43:02 [RalphS]
Ralph: if we permit HTML authors to add @HREF now and understand that it doesn't change rendering, then if XHTML2 later comes along and makes all @HREFs clickable, will we create traps for document authors?
13:43:35 [RalphS]
Steven: I believe the spec does and should specify somewhere that all @HREFs are dereferenceable
13:43:58 [RalphS]
Mark: the question is whether XHTML2 specifying that all @HREFs are clickable should carry forward to RDfa
13:44:19 [RalphS]
... not sure this causes the kind of shock Ralph is describing
13:44:41 [RalphS]
Ben: the way we have pitched RDFa is to add structure to marked-up HTML
13:44:55 [RalphS]
... with adding @HREF everywhere in a 1.1 module, we're doing more than just adding structure
13:45:20 [RalphS]
... I'd prefer sticking with 'wherever @HREF is currently permitted, RDFa adds structure'
13:45:37 [RalphS]
... I worry about people who understand HTML in a certain way now
13:46:25 [RalphS]
Ralph: I suggest a new open issue "Should we allow @HREF everywhere?"
13:46:39 [RalphS]
Mark: the real question is "Should @HREF everywhere be clickable?"
13:47:22 [RalphS]
Shane: I'd make that more specific -- should a conforming user agent make all @HREFs clickabale?
13:47:33 [mhausenblas]

ACTION: Ben to add issue to issues list and start discussion with previous reference and issue reference
13:50:18 [RalphS]
Mark: the link Michael cited is to an already-resolved issue
13:50:26 [RalphS]
... we did talk previously about @HREF in general
13:50:37 [RalphS]
Ben: in February 2006 we weren't talking about XHTML 1.1
13:51:07 [RalphS]
Shane: yes, we were not envisioning this for XHTML 1.1 a year ago

Mark: yes
13:52:53 [RalphS]
Ben: will you show some copy-and-paste examples with in-context RDFa?
13:53:04 [RalphS]
... the fact that you can right-click and get triples in context should be shown

... I'll ask Harry and Fabien to mention this too
13:53:18 [RalphS]
