would be nice if captioning were available as a simple separate IRC channel.

w3c specifications were never intended for use by end authors -- they've always been targetted at implementors. Confusing the audience leads to bad specifications
14:12:21 [fantasai]
anne, yeah, I agree that a lot of our specs could be written better but it's very unlikely that we can write them precisely enough for implementors and metaphorically enough for authors
14:12:46 [fantasai]
authors should be reading derived material
14:12:51 [karl]
anne, if web designers and web developers do not have to read the spec. Then there is a missing piece that web developers/designers still needs. I think it is the crux of the comment. "We have to read the spec because there's no other source."
14:12:52 [anne]
i think they should work for pedantic authors, not for average authors
14:13:26 [LeeF]
In reality (well, IME), though, the derivative materials don't exist early enough to let non-implementors participate in the consensus / review process
14:13:26 [raman]
I always compile with gcc --pedantic -- but I've never read the ANSI standard for C
14:13:44 [ivan]
dom, what is the user/password for the captioning?
14:13:45 [karl]
the message is "hey we want to understand your stuff". "your stuff is created at W3C". "where on w3c site can I find help for editing."
14:13:46 [MikeSmith]
KevinLawver - probably the same thing that would happen to the anti-virus industry if ...
14:13:47 [anne]
that said, the technology should be simple enough to use for average authors, obviously
14:14:03 [Steven]
ivan, there is no user/pass
14:14:09 [anne]
intuitive, if you will
14:14:14 [fantasai]
and the terminology in the interface/API/syntax should be targetted at them

14:16:11 [moshe]
I wrote a book that mentions the values of standards... by analogy to 150 years ago, when manufacturers accepted standard sizes for nuts and bolts.
14:16:12 [timbl_]
So W3C should produce materials to he;p developer's *managers* understand why the w3C technology is important
14:16:14 [AaronGustafson]
will make it easier to keep track
14:16:19 [raman]
the stumbling block has not been lack of educational materials -- the problem has been lack of good interoperable implementations that work like what the educational materials try to teach

There are multiple levels of indirection between standards and the managers who make the $ commitmeents. That doesn't make them clueless, but it does mean that it is difficult for you to target them.
14:21:36 [raman]
Hey Tantek!
14:21:37 [moshe]
standards do not inhibit innovation. standard nuts and bolts in automobiles let the designers focus on overall form and function instead of creating custom nuts and bolts.

if you have a standards effort that is a response to a vulnerability, there can be innovation that relies on that vulnerability

14:23:54 [KevinLawver]
The general web development community's (of which I'm a part) frustration is NOT with the standard itself. It's with browsers (like TV said). They're tired of waiting for things like multiple backgrounds, border radius, display: table, a "real" layout system, etc.

Mez, this whole panel discussion sounds like the descriptions of the first meetings when people discussed adopting standardized nuts and bolts. Same arguments.
14:24:27 [John_Boyer]
standards accelerate innovation by increasing aperture of information flow (not just data flow)
14:24:30 [mjs]
KevinLawver: sounds like when you say "browsers" you mean "Internet Explorer"
14:24:39 [KevinLawver]
We mostly understand the benefits, but the definition of "standards" to almost all of my colleagues is "the hacks I have to use to make it work in IE" not the specs themselves.

browsers should focus on doing standards right -- rather than continuously aiming for bug-compatibility across browsers
14:25:01 [RCutler]
How long ago were nuts and bolts standardized? Is this really in living memory?
14:25:19 [moshe]
no, it was in the 1850's
14:25:24 [moshe]
so we have some reports
14:25:27 [tantek]
timbl_: thanks and agreed. i will do my best to participate thru IRC. i also have an iSight and Skype/iChat with sufficient bandwidth if there is someone near the front of the room willing to share.
14:25:30 [anne]
raman, supporting existing content is important, especially to our end users
14:25:48 [raman]
if nuts and bolts were done today's web-browser way, we'd all carry around bagfuls of wrenches out of fear that you'd run into a badly designed legacy bolt any minute

Anne, existing content is not expressed in the new versions of the language

supporting existing content is the way you get to have enough end users to fund implementing standards

"very disheartened by the massive gaps". I think we can do better about managing expectations around HTML and CSS schedules. more on that Saturday in the HTML WG meeting.
14:27:04 [raman]
anne -- support existing content all you like -- but as long as that remains the focus, as opposed to say "doing html and css right" --- people will continue to author more junk for you to "support" and that is a death spiral
14:27:20 [MikeSmith]
I'm surprised that Alex Russell is surprised that standards are very good at innovating and inventing.
14:27:21 [raman]
think "support" == "tolerate";-)

I do think we should talk about your proposed timetable and mine.
14:27:59 [moshe]
During WWII, the US auto companies had to run a separate production line for the Brits, since the US and Brits had separate standards for nuts and bolts. The US standard was better, btw, from a tech standpoint.

standards are better at standardizing things that already exist than at innovating

It is impossible to reach for higher goals without a higher platform.
14:28:45 [KevinLawver]
@hsivonen No, it doesn't, because no one in the "real" web uses application/xhtml+xml. Dojo is very pragmatic.

14:29:35 [Mez]
John_Boyer, I'm reminded of the stories of my ex-USSR colleagues back in the late 80's. they said in the USSR they carried tapes of their own tools they wrote (editors, compilers) from job to job
14:29:59 [Hixie]
tantek: html5 is working on that. it'll take a while though.
14:30:03 [shepazu]
the process is open, but we need to clarify how to do that... that's a big push I'll be doing with the new SVG Interest Group
14:30:05 [RCutler]
That sounds like stealing to me.
14:30:16 [DanC_lap]
the "there's only so many resources" line is a pet pieve of mine. It means "I'm tired of recruiting" or something.

I said it at the time "amsterdam 2000" and I still say it -- forking out the html mime time and creating application/xml+xhtml was just a major mistake. We should have put in the framework in place using the DOM as it existed to help text/html transition smoothly to clean content.

14:34:59 [Mez]
perhaps we should perform our specs...
14:35:04 [KevinLawver]
Do we need to start doing SCRUM in working groups?
14:35:17 [Marcos]
the specs would be 20 times bigger and would take twice as long to make if we have to cater for designers.
14:35:25 [moshe]
Mez, I think I should be able to pick up a spec and figure out what it's supposed to accomplish. I shouldn't have to go to Wikipedia to figure it out
14:35:27 [glazou]
KevinLawver: agreed (about the 3-5 years)
14:35:28 [shepazu]
KevinLawver: then we'd end up with scrumlords
14:35:34 [DanC_lap]
I find studying things like SCRUM worthwhile
14:35:44 [Hixie]
shepazu: otherwise you create a fake bubble of hype and get caught up in it -- and fail to see feedback from the audience when they say the spec doesn't address their needs. we've seen that before in w3c.
14:35:46 [Mez]
why can't there be an overlay to specs for "normal"people (to Marcos comment)
14:35:47 [moshe]
Just one paragraph, Mez, that's all I ask
14:35:49 [KevinLawver]
@shepazu Isn't that what chars are supposed to be anyway?
14:35:52 [mjs]
specs are not software
14:35:57 [KevinLawver]
Sorry, chairs.
14:35:57 [John_Boyer]
Doing scrum in working groups might clarify who the specs are for (and who they're not for). This panel is illustrating the need for a spec for implementers and a primer for users of the implementations
14:36:05 [mjs]
software development methodologies do not necessarily apply
14:36:06 [shawn]
+1 to considering SCRUM like trial...
14:36:08 [Mez]
ok moshe, I'll try to get that one paragraph in WSC
14:36:11 [LeeF]

14:42:31 [glazou]
Yves, on our dead bodies !-)
14:42:35 [raman]
Problem started withnetscape;-) in general the dominant browser has always been buggy and everyone has made the problem worse over time by being bug compatible
14:42:56 [mjs]
is there any non-trivial standard that's less than 20 years old and can claim to have 100% support from anything?
14:43:04 [mjs]
even C compilers have standards compliance bugs
14:43:13 [glazou]
mjs: electricity
14:43:18 [anne]
Yves, when they stop "sucking" and come with millions of testcases this might be feasible :)
14:43:24 [raman]
if gcc were like browsers, we would first ask all failing CS students to submit their programs -- and then build a compiler that compiled all the code from the failing student's ;-)
14:43:28 [Mez]
steph, we're trying to figure out both ways to "verify" that our recommendations will be sufficiently "usable", and also what to tell people about ensuring their implementation of our recommendations are suffiiciently "usable"
14:43:34 [MikeSmith]
It seems like there is maybe an expectation among some users/readers that all specs should somehow be understandable/readable by non-implementors or those who don't understand the implementation complexities ... an unrealistic expectation. The answer is maybe: You're not going to understand some specs unless you have certain prior knowledge that it may likely be you don't have unless you're an implementor or or have worked in some way a browser or other U
14:43:34 [MikeSmith]
A or developed complex web apps or whatever.
14:43:41 [mjs]
glazou: I don't think that meets the "non-trivial" standard
14:43:43 [Yves]
anne: well it more than millions of test cases that are needed ;)

btw, the model Molly just referred to keeps the test results secret

raman: gcc is different because what's delivered to end-users is binaries, not source

raman: and 10000x more people can write HTML than can write C. surely having a publishing technology that is accessible to more authors is a good thing?
14:44:44 [mjs]
raman: not of gcc itself, of programs it compiles
14:44:52 [mjs]
that's the difference between a complier and interpreter
14:44:52 [anne]
Yves, well, based on impl experience standards prolly have to be fixed
14:45:06 [mjs]
perhaps it's no coincidence that popular interpreted languages have just one dominant implementation and no spec

mjs: standardization in electricity is far more complex than ours, FYI
14:45:26 [shepazu]
CSS is not the whole of W3C
14:45:29 [KevinLawver]
The panel excluded, but a lot of trainers I've seen just don't know the subject. They spread FUD and misinformation instead of teaching the specs, benefits and then work-arounds.
14:45:36 [raman]
it is easier to teach authors simple rules to create correct content, as opposed to today's mess of you can do x, but not y if you've done x ...
14:45:42 [Yves]
anne: it depends on the issue, as always it's only on a case-by-case basis
14:46:03 [mjs]
glazou: I'm sure the standards are way more thorough, but the technical complexity is much less - 120v tri-phase could be described sufficiently on one page with some equations
14:46:09 [anne]
Yves, I suppose, but if the standards don't get implemented they're not really standards imo

but if you patch over a bug, then the bug never gets fixed, and over time you get stuck with buggy content. equivalent to passing all failing students
14:50:15 [Yves]
anne: do you mean that when a std is reasonnably well implemented at time T, then a popular implementation at T+10 years starts implementing the same std badly proves that the spec was bad from day one? It may be then that another std is needed.

14:52:07 [timbl_]
Molly asks for the TAG (or someone) to make a top-down effort to make more consistency between specs ... but does that mesh with allowing WGs to be more autonomous. ... hmmm . ther is no free coorination. CGs are suppoosed to work in a less centralized way, the TAG watches out for cracks.

oh oh, we lost the captioner
14:52:27 [MikeSmith]
amen to what MSM said about if "non-dominant browsers decide NOT to be bug-compatible ... users complain" -- that's the market reality that drives browser vendors ... if a user can get to broken/non-conforming site in browser A but not in browser B, then as far as the user is concerned, browser B is broken and he/she will switch to using browser A instead (at least to get to that site)

The university course situation is really bad overall...
14:55:30 [ivan]
maybe W3C should have a separate arm concentrating on Un curriculae?
14:55:53 [glazou]
MikeSmith: patiently ?-)
14:56:03 [rigo]
anne: but after all you generate remarks like the one from hsivonen, where the market does not come together to get consensus on a solution, but where some magicien runs after some cats to write down where the cats currently are .. ;)
14:56:05 [KevinLawver]
There is also a HUGE difference between: the standard, the implementations, and then the best practices. I think the conversation gets confused when we don't call the three out.
14:56:06 [fantasai]
ivan: it would have to be done in conjunction with the community,
14:56:08 [DanC_lap]
yes, connecting W3C to curriculum development is a goal of mine
14:56:13 [kenny]
Is there any way that the w3c specs could be made easier to read and synthesise for developers and designers? Would listing the books describing the respective spec make a difference?

"real world" is an attack phrase; let's find another way to talk
14:57:19 [anne]
rigo, the market is coming together no?
14:57:29 [s-mon]
i can't stand that term.
14:57:29 [MikeSmith]
AaronGustafson - molly got a mike on her left as well
14:57:30 [fantasai]
ivan: I'm not suggesting the WGs do it. :) That wouldn't work, clearly.
14:57:38 [DanC_lap]
I'd like people to talk about "my experience" rather than "the real world"
14:57:42 [tantek]
DanC_lap: s/real world/URLs to real world examples on the public Web
14:57:44 [s-mon]
who lives n the "real world".
14:57:44 [anne]
rigo, I think I'm missing your point
14:57:51 [Hixie]
i don't think molly's answer answered the question
14:57:57 [hsivonen]
you can't deploy in the real world if browser competition has not resulted in something to deploy on
14:58:28 [rigo]
anne: yes it is coming together, but we are talking about the gap (and time-lag) between market and specification and how to fill that gap
14:58:31 [karl]
"My real world is not yours"
14:58:50 [anne]
rigo, not wait for Recommendation level with implementing
14:58:53 [anne]
we're already doing that

my real world includes Joost and intranets and set-top boxes
14:59:02 [KevinLawver]
The e-mail problem is a really good case of bad implementations.
14:59:04 [Stuart]
mjs mentions shibboleth.... interesting crack in the floor at Tate Modern, London: http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/dorissalcedo/default.shtm
14:59:15 [rigo]
anne: and whether the market takes up some things designed by committee and whether the committee is taking up something done in the market and I say it's both :)
15:00:00 [raman]
See the following from Lawrence Lessig: Lawrence Lessig: I have been doing this for about two years--more than
15:00:00 [raman]
100 of these gigs. This is about the last one. One more and it's over
15:00:00 [raman]
for me. So I figured I wanted to write a song to end it. But then I
15:00:00 [raman]
realized I don't sing and I can't write music. But I came up with the
15:00:03 [raman]
refrain, at least, right? This captures the point. If you understand
15:00:06 [raman]
this refrain, you're gonna' understand everything I want to say to you
15:00:10 [raman]
today. It has four parts:
15:00:13 [raman]
15:00:16 [MikeSmith]
kenny - If a spec is intended to be a precise and unambiguous functional specification for implementors, it probably can't also be made easier to read for designers.
15:00:16 [raman]
* Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
15:00:20 [raman]
* The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
15:00:20 [raman]
* Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
15:00:23 [raman]
* Ours is less and less a free society.

(I guess a certain amount of venting frustration about history is in order, but I hope we get past it soon, Hakon.)
15:00:33 [Kangchan]
Ivan : W3C can not the building curriculae, but can propose the well organized curriculae (just link the existing curriculae pages) for reffering as outreach activitirs of W3C
15:00:41 [DanC_lap]
yes, ACID2 rocks
15:00:45 [hsivonen]
shepazu: Joost is single client. hence, not client interop standardization issues
15:00:48 [steph]
MikeSmith: I don't think the idea is one all encompassing document :)

I hate to say it, but if people implemented their documents the right way the first time, they wouldn't need to mandate an old browser.

the message is: legacy content of 1 zillion web pages can't be re-written every tuesday
15:04:04 [MikeSmith]

15:45:50 [raman]
a good reflection of why there has been such poor communication across the different camps in this debate. Each person believes he is right and knows the answer alas
15:45:52 [glazou]
John_Boyer: the problem was not on the contributors' side, but on the WG side
15:46:02 [DanC_lap]
I don't think "html 5 for authors" needs to be a book-length tome; maybe it's planethtml5, an edited journal of authoring techinques. (a la a list apart)
15:46:21 [clc4tts]
the captioning is really bad

15:46:31 [John_Boyer]
If one is *within* the working group, then one gets a vote on how it proceeds, so it's only a problem within the WG if you have a priori decided not to join it.

15:50:59 [molly]
I ask for good reasons - if that way of articulating the issue doesn't express well, that's helpful to know for future conversations
15:51:35 [karl]
molly: it is just that real world has no real shared meaning across Web people
15:51:43 [DanC_lap]
"real problems" ... is that still in the TOC? reminds me of "real world", an attack phrase as I noted above
15:52:06 [molly]
what would be better terminology? Suggestions welcome!
15:52:08 [shepazu]
"don't do error handling at all"?
15:52:11 [KevinLawver]
It's the Ivory Tower vs The Plebes! Let them eat markup!
15:52:13 [Hixie]
yeah tim! you didn't define error handling! :-)

kenny, no, it would simply raise barriers to authoring = fewer authors, less content
15:53:37 [Bert]
"The real world" is "my world" for every instance of "my" in this crowd.
15:53:41 [mjs]
css has fault tolerance as a conformance requirement
15:54:11 [KevinLawver]
I expected more boxing gloves for this panel.
15:54:13 [shepazu]
SVG has well-defined error handling (though not perfect... still need to fill in the cracks)
15:54:24 [Hixie]
IanJ: for parsing, for instance, the first implementation of the error handling is html5lib, which is not a browser tool
15:54:40 [shepazu]
CSS has error-handling (though not implemented universally)
15:54:45 [molly]
I agree with Tantek on that. There has to be a way to address Mom's desire to post something to her site versus company XYZ's need to have highly secure, manageable documents
15:55:06 [mjs]
validation should be on the authoring end, not the content consumption end
15:55:14 [KevinLawver]
Molly, that's why we need better authoring tool, and have things like HTML tidy.
15:55:18 [tantek]

I haven't looked closely at the error-handling bits in html 5.
15:56:23 [mjs]
HTML5 has split document and UA conformance
15:56:26 [IanJ]
Just wondering (in my ignorance) how it is going describing error handling in a way that works across big spectrum of apps.
15:56:27 [shepazu]
tantek: sorry, can you explain the "fragile content" attitude?
15:56:30 [karl]
molly: about terminology. "real world" is a way to ostracize people then it creates a community. More than just talking about "issue to solve".
15:56:36 [tantek]
shepazu: XML
15:56:38 [KevinLawver]
Molly, if that's true, then your mom needs to master the tol...
15:56:41 [KevinLawver]
tool, even.

Karl, well, for the misuse of terminology I apologize, but I do think the points remain clear

and I have tens of thousands of people to point to as examples worldwide
15:57:29 [Hixie]

15:57:51 [Hixie]
IanJ: yeah
15:57:53 [tantek]
fragile = error->stop processing
15:57:53 [IanJ]
ok
15:58:04 [Hixie]
IanJ: though it's more obvious in the parsing section
15:58:19 [IanJ]
thanks Hixie
15:58:37 [aurelien_levy]
hi
15:58:51 [raman]
HST's question is not being answered.
15:58:52 [shepazu]
tantek: yes, that restriction could be loosened up in a defined way
15:58:54 [IanJ]
parsing seems like a good area for generic error handling.
15:58:55 [ChrisL]
as opposed to fragile = silent error recovery and thus error accumulation until one small change breaks rendering mysteriously, type of fragiility
15:58:58 [IanJ]
my guess is rendering is not as much.
15:59:40 [karl]
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#parsing
15:59:41 [tantek]
ChrisL - one of those has succeeded on the Web, the other has failed.
15:59:44 [Hixie]
IanJ: e.g. search for "invalid value default". there's also cases where the error handling is automaticly implied by the way the algorithms work
16:00:00 [Hixie]
IanJ: e.g. "take the first foo element" handles the error of what if there are two foo elements
16:00:01 [MikeSmith]
couldn't hear the organization who the current questioner is from ...
16:00:13 [Hixie]
IanJ: (as opposed to "take the foo element", which is ambiguous)
16:00:19 [dsinger]
glenn adams, representing samsung (though his own company is xsfi)
16:00:21 [mjs]
IanJ: it's layered - there's a way to parse even erroneous token streams into a DOM, and a way to render even erroneous DOMs
16:00:25 [karl]
interesting the discussion has became meta
16:00:29 [ChrisL]
Tantek - I would argue which one failed. you mean you never edited a page and got an unexpected result that seemed unrelated to what you just changed?
16:00:32 [karl]
about error handling
16:00:47 [karl]
it is almost a general discussion about all W3C technologies
16:00:55 [karl]
s/W3C//
16:01:06 [MikeSmith]
Glenn Adams from Samsung?
16:01:24 [mjs]
MSM: there are ~30 billion HTML documents targeted for display to end users on the public web
16:01:25 [dbaron]
I think the problem was that error handling wasn't defined, not whether or not the error handling was liberal.
16:01:26 [tantek]
ChrisL - any sufficiently complex system will produce unexpected results.
16:01:39 [mjs]
MSM: I think XML is quite a few orders of magnitude off from that
16:01:42 [dom]
+1 to dbaron
16:02:04 [raman]
who will specify the errors in the implementation of the error handling?
16:02:05 [MSM]
mjs, yes -- targeted for one specific use -- and not easily reusable, precisely because people have abused Postel's Law
16:02:41 [mjs]
MSM: "people consuming documents and applications" seems like a pretty broad use to me
16:02:44 [tantek]
it's the difference between the CSS parsing methodology towards error handling vs. the XML parsing methodology towards error handling.
16:03:00 [mjs]
as far as I'm concerned it is *the* use, everything else is implementation details for that
16:03:06 [tantek]
MUST recover vs. MUST fail.
16:03:24 [tantek]
recovery = adoption. failure = abandonment.
16:03:27 [PHB]
If you didn't want xml to resync automatically, why have te start tag repeated in the end tag?
16:03:51 [PHB]
<p> stuff </p> has no point unless you want </p> to allow for resync
16:03:54 [MSM]
[Repeating an off-the-log comment: responding to a remark of Tantek's. I think you get a more pervasive form of fragility from divergent and inconsistent approaches to error recovery -- I note that in the XML community, it has never been necessary to charter a WG to run after the implementations to find out how they do error recovery, so that authors can figure out which errors they must fix and which they can safely leave4 in place.]
16:04:15 [DanC_lap]
re postels law, we just need somebody to take the "be conservative about what you produce" part of the HTML 5 spec and tune it to the authoring audience

16:05:02 [raman]
haven't seen imaginary world content ... what does it look like? if you know, then it cant be imaginary;-)
16:05:06 [Liam]
phb - it turns out that </> makes it very ahrd for humans to fix faulty documents
16:05:07 [ChrisL]
phb - you are correct that having the name in the end tag allows better error pinpointing. The aim was to make it easier to fix by the author, not by auto-guessing in the browser
16:05:21 [karl]
DanC_lap: agreed. An authoring document can/should be stricter than the parsing section
16:05:27 [raman]
complex content must have an imaginary part, otherwise it wouldn't be complex, it would be real;-)
16:05:33 [shepazu]
raman: it's the Platonic Ideal of Content
16:05:38 [tantek]
MSM, optimizing for chartering or not a WG, or for adoption of the technology by maximum # of authors? I choose the latter.
16:05:43 [Marcos]
"reality"
16:05:48 [DanC_lap]
no, the technical content should be the same... or the same negotiation, karl. but the document audiences are different

16:06:31 [molly]
badumpump!
16:06:33 [Bert]
(Not sure </> makes it hard to fix errors, but </foo> makes it hard to avoid errors.)
16:06:35 [IanJ]
MG: "If not, what are the implications?"
16:06:49 [MSM]
PHB, there was a longish discussion of whether to allow empty end-tags, during the design of XML 1.0. The browser vendors eventually got on their knees and begged the WG to specify draconian error handling, because (they argued) the alternative was the same kind of race to the bottom that was visible in HTML.
16:07:16 [karl]
DanC_lap: ;) not sure about that. I can say hey author you should write <strong class="strict">boo</strong>, and say to browsers You have to be ready to understand clumsy people who write <strong class=strict>boo</strong>
16:07:21 [Marcos]
hehe
16:07:22 [MSM]
Tantek, I have never regarded popularity as the true test of truth, beauty, or technical utility. YMMV.
16:07:31 [KevinLawver]
Melinda Grant is my hero.
16:07:42 [tantek]
MSM - evolution would disagree with you.
16:07:55 [tantek]
as would the market
16:08:19 [tantek]
also, popularity = accessibility to more authors.
16:08:28 [MSM]
Tantek, and this means what? Evolution is hardly guaranteed to produce truth, beauty, technical quality, or progress.
16:08:42 [tantek]
evolution has very much produced progress

16:10:22 [tantek]
karl, marketing != evolution
16:10:27 [DanC_lap]
(I hate the fact that IRC defaults to : for direct address, after the chicago manual of style and such set the standard)
16:10:33 [MSM]
Tantek, I think you are confusing "quality" with "success in reproduction". A common fallacy in the nineteenth century among social Darwinists, but I had thought it was exinct.
16:10:44 [tantek]
raman, most music is evolved / built-upon previous music

:)
16:13:39 [DanC_lap]
ah... that reminds me, mjs... the apple mailer doesn't support hyperlink authoring
16:13:56 [MSM]
ah. It would seem then that evolution and popularity are the test of quality sometimes, but not all the time? Is it off base to suggest they are the test of quality when you like their results, but not when you don't?
16:14:14 [DanC_lap]
what is the test of quality, MSM?

16:14:39 [mjs]
DanC_lap: I don't know about Tiger, haven't run it in a while
16:14:44 [MSM]
I'll borrow Tantek's approach, and say that for some authors, invalid HTML that makes you care about browsers' error recovery strategies is simply obsolete. You don't have to care about it any more. Freedom is just a decision you have to make.
16:14:51 [mjs]
Edit > Link > Add...

tantek, I hope we get to jam sometime. bummer indeed that you're not here this time.
16:15:08 [Lachy_]
the things Stephen is talking about can be done in HTML5, XHTML2 isn't needed for that stuff
16:15:30 [tantek]
MSM, you actually don't. Author valid POSH and browsers will handle it just fine.
16:15:38 [karl]
mjs: why people from iWeb are not participating to the WG
16:15:44 [Marcos]
why author in xhtml2 to serve as html? why not just use html for the whole process?
16:15:48 [cblouch]
Part of evolution is natural selection where some new branches turn out to be bad and die
16:15:55 [Hixie]

16:16:06 [mjs]
karl: too busy typing?
16:16:08 [raman]
hear hear!
16:16:21 [MikeSmith]
Marcos - perhaps because it attempts to provide another level of abstraction
16:16:28 [mjs]
karl: I will note that I specifically and the Safari team in general talks a lot to other teams at Apple that do web-technology-relevant things
16:16:29 [raman]
hear hear to what Steven said I meant
16:16:32 [John_Boyer]
Unfortunately, the above comment from Marcos is the same as saying that the things Steven is talking about can be done in machine language, so no need for a higher level language.
16:16:34 [MSM]
Tantek, one question that then arises is "Why have a WG worrying about an obsolete problem that no one actually needs to care about?"
16:16:34 [MikeSmith]
... the last part of what Steven mentioned
16:16:39 [shepazu]
Steven++
16:16:41 [molly]
my question is why isn't he on this panel???

16:17:08 [s-mon]

16:17:30 [s-mon]
+1 Steven.
16:17:35 [raman]
good question: why wasnt Steven on the panel? it's a symptom of the larger problem within the W3C. we've spent six years standing on the "xml" leg; now, we're standing on the "html" leg, and the xml leg is not fashionable any more ...
16:17:36 [molly]
Karl, I'm going to hit you later. I promise.
16:17:46 [glazou]
karl: is that for me ?-)
16:17:57 [molly]
raman: I asked Steven and he said he had no idea why he wasn't on the panel
16:17:59 [tantek]
MSM, perhaps ask the WG - I think browser vendors care about handling invalid HTML. Modern web designers however, are doing just fine authoring valid POSH.
16:18:06 [John_Boyer]
marcos, Steven answered your question though with the anecdote about reducing development time from 150 person years to 10
16:18:11 [shepazu]
raman: he wasn't on the panel because we wanted this to be a member-driven panel, no W3C Team members
16:18:13 [ChrisL]
molly, I was surprised that Steven was not on the panel, given the title and all
16:18:32 [ChrisL]
... although DanC is also not on the panel
16:18:32 [Marcos]
There are plenty of chairs up on the stage, maybe he could go and sit up there?
16:18:51 [mjs]
defining how to handle invalid content is important given the huge amount of existing content on the web and the need to support casual authors
16:18:52 [MikeSmith]
molly - original plan was to not have anybody from the W3C team on the panel
16:18:53 [karl]
glazou: you are one of the rare on the group
16:18:55 [John_Boyer]
shepazu, Roland Merrick is co-chair and not a team member
16:18:58 [anne]
ChrisL, supposedly it's about people in the industry
16:19:01 [aaronlev]
shepazu: why isn't there anyone at all representing xhtml2 though
16:19:02 [karl]
not enough unfortunately
16:19:06 [mjs]
you have to support these things as a loss leader for supporting standards-compliant content
16:19:07 [John_Boyer]
perhaps you should have invited him and Chris Wilson

Raman, it's OK, many XML people are used to making technical decisions based on their technical judgement, and not worrying overmuch about fashion. (Not all, of course, and it's not much fun to be held up as among the World's Worst Dressed. But we can bear being unfashionable, because the technology works for us.)
16:19:20 [raman]
I think the view Steven represents is best articulated by him and losing him because he is a team member is just wrong.
16:19:23 [Bert]
I'm sure if Steven were on the panel, people would complain about it being always the same people on the same panels.
16:19:29 [glazou]
karl: apple has an editor, msft has web expression, adobe has dw
16:19:32 [shepazu]
John_Boyer: I mean for this panel, not all of them
16:19:32 [Marcos]
John_boyer, who is you?
16:19:41 [dbaron]
Those public sites may claim to be XHTML, but they're actually serving XHTML as HTML.
16:19:46 [John_Boyer]
Forms WG Chair and XForms editor
16:19:52 [John_Boyer]
Also not a team member...
16:19:52 [MikeSmith]
was a mistake to not have Steven on the panel I think
16:19:56 [shepazu]
aaronlev: because the guy who was going to be up there had to cancel
16:19:58 [karl]
glazou: yes, but not represented in the group unfortunately
16:20:10 [raman]
if W3Cwere dynamic and agile, we would add Steven to panel *now*;-)
16:20:15 [glazou]

ARIA is the analogue of low-level accessibility API
16:23:48 [anne]
yeah
16:23:54 [mjs]

16:23:55 [Lachy_]
I understand ARIA just fine. It's just not something that's really well designed for authors to use
16:24:04 [anne]
which is problematic, because authors in general don't care
16:24:08 [aaronlev]
raman: we should remove as much of the need for ARIA as we can, but we still need it

having constraint-based conformance in the spec would be useful for authors, not for implementers
16:27:02 [steph]
development by constraints would probably achieve more consistent end results
16:27:11 [dbaron]
I think constraints vs. algorithms depends on which is simpler / easier to understand for the particular case.
16:27:12 [mjs]
it's hard to write enough constraints to be as specific as an algorithm in terms of conformance requirements
16:27:17 [steph]
there could always be suggested algorithms
16:27:22 [mjs]
depends on for what

The voting for the lightning talk wild-card slot is now open: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/TP-LT-2007/

In the particular case of table width balancing, it was simple to describe as a linear combination of bracketing value sets.

16:28:23 [matt]
okay, maybe not weeks and weeks,but a while now :)
16:28:42 [Bert]
Constraints is a way of thinking that some people like, others can't get their head around it. We've got both constraints and algorithms in the CSS spec, dpeending on who wrote that section...

16:39:10 [IanJ]
Raman summary: Two measures of success of std - people can build on it; people can do more than what you set out to do initially.
16:39:28 [Steven]
Reality is blue skies and clouds and birds singing, wind in your hair, a ride on your bike.
16:39:29 [MikeSmith]
If the world of public URLs is your only reality, you are missing a lot of important use cases and requirements
16:39:37 [tantek]
let's take it one step further. if it's not on the public Web, in an open standard indexed by search engines, does it really exist?
16:39:49 [MikeSmith]
tantek - yes

[TBL on the problem of tlds that are topic-specific and the combinatorial problem]
16:53:14 [Bert]
And we need .valid so you know the web site is valid. And .ie6, for stuff that works on IE6.
16:53:19 [steph]
if there are no owners of people who take the resposibility and accountability of decisions made, we spend all the time fighting
16:53:21 [tantek]
go TBL - reductio yeah!
16:53:33 [sandro]
that's actually a good reason: .mobi is a way to signal people that it's worth trying to access on their mobile phone. once every site is mobile is happy, then it will be obsolete. [ of course, then TimBL advocates .nxxx, wai, .lang, too show the site is good with those standards.... :-) ]
16:53:41 [DanC_lap]
TBL
16:53:47 [Steven]
Oooh! .w3c to show that they are standards compliant!
16:53:52 [DanC_lap]
TBL _did_ start by saying yes, let's make web sites mobile-happy

"I _don't_ like Spam! Look, do you have anything without
16:59:48 [ChrisL]
Spam in it?" The man sitting at the table asked.
16:59:48 [ChrisL]
The waiter thought about it. "Well, there's the Spam Eggs
16:59:48 [ChrisL]
Sausage Bacon and Spam... That doesn't have much Spam in it."
16:59:48 [ChrisL]
"But I don't want _any_ Spam."
16:59:54 [gregt]
That was good
17:00:04 [ChrisWilson]
I don't like spam!
17:00:05 [KevinLawver]
Wait... he has to then get the search engines to not index and apply those links to their algorithms and explain to my mom (there she is) what the heck RDFa is.
17:00:07 [tantek]
nope, RDFa solution for "stopping link spam" will fail for the same reason rel="nofollow" was not really effective.
17:00:15 [Liam]
Lachy_: yes, rel=nofollow and also HTML comments to turn on and off search-engine indexing for fragments of a page.
17:00:18 [tantek]
link spamming is directed at search engines *and* users
17:00:21 [DanC_lap]
Lachy, PHB is not a dreamer. he lives in criminal drek.
17:00:30 [tantek]
user clicks on links is sufficient incentive to link spam.

anne: Depending on your context, algorithms can be easier to implement
17:01:18 [mjs]
constraint-based descriptions are harder to implement
17:01:31 [mjs]
it's true that the constraints lead directly to some obvious tests
17:01:32 [PHB]
rel=nofoloow is not a solution to linkspam
17:01:36 [mjs]
but not necessarily more subtle tests
17:01:38 [anne]
fantasai, from experience, implementing an algorithm is trivial
17:01:38 [raman]
mjs, most layout engines are constraint based at the end.
17:01:39 [chaals]
chaals has joined #tp
17:01:46 [fantasai]
anne: So I can't tell you which combination gives you better interoperability
17:01:47 [tlr]
anne, from experience, it isn't
17:01:51 [mjs]
it's easier for something constraint-based to have loopholes or ambiguities
17:01:57 [anne]
I have no experience with implementing constraint-based specifications
17:01:59 [PHB]
rel=nofollow is a procedural statement, we need to go declarative
17:02:05 [fantasai]
anne: But I can tell you which one gives you better tests and better understanding by the people who write tests, write pages, and report bugs
17:02:06 [mjs]
raman, ultimately, the CPU runs an algorithm
17:02:13 [tlr]
e.g., http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-canonicalization-comments/2007Oct/0000.html
17:02:37 [mjs]
the layout engines I know about aren't implemented much like the canonical idea of a constraint solver, but that's neither here nor there
17:02:39 [raman]
but specifying it using constraints allows one to implement it as efficiently as one is capable of.
17:02:47 [anne]
fantasai, you're the first to make that remark
17:02:54 [tantek]
PHB: rel="nofollow" indicates a semantic. see http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-nofollow
17:02:57 [mjs]
oh I should also mention that it's easier for a constraint-based definition to be unimplementable
17:02:58 [anne]
although maybe we should ask the people making the HTML 5 tests how they feel about this
17:03:08 [fantasai]
mjs: true, but they are implemented in different ways: an algorithm-based for CSS would be ridiculous
17:03:15 [PHB]
Knowing who posted a comment allows us to use Slashdot style karma techniques
17:03:15 [anne]
(other than myself)
17:03:25 [hsivonen]
fantasai, constraits don't cover error recovery (at least usually)
17:03:25 [ed]
raman: what's stopping you from implementing a more efficient algorithm as long as it delivers the same result? at least there is a reference to compare with
17:03:30 [ChrisWilson]
time's up.
17:03:32 [mjs]
raman, requirements stated as algorithms are implicitly "as if", typically
17:03:40 [fantasai]
hsivonen: I'm not saying everything should be written as constraints
17:03:48 [PHB]
tantek, nofollow sure sounds like an order to me.
17:03:53 [mjs]
fantasai, and the constraint rules for floats in CSS aren't ridiculous?
17:03:56 [fantasai]
hsivonen: but where it's possible and practical, I believe that is the better system.
17:03:58 [tlr]
mjs, the conclusion from your point about implementability above is to insist on a proof of existence

you just want A -> algo -> B to always be the same, regardless of "algo" (could be implemented by the spec, browser, etc.)

ed, I think the experience of people who tried defining programming languages by means of reference implementations was that the method was inflexible as regards level of detail -- it ended up committing the language definition to behaviors that the WG wanted NOT to specify.

tantek, the point in the Bismarck quote is that the process is somewhat messier than what one might expect, and not a very attractive sight.
18:52:10 [dsinger]
I make sausages at home and it is at least as much fun as making standards
18:52:17 [ChrisWilson]
tantek, i didn't make a statement that they SHOULDN'T be made in the open. (Note I'm co-chair of the most open W3C WG.) I said the process may seem disgusting.
18:52:19 [dsinger]
and much more visua;
18:52:20 [tlr]
The quote is actually not a good argument against transparency.
18:52:24 [raman]
authoring web sites shouldn't feel like making sausages either
18:52:34 [tantek]
Bismarck is basically being patronizing - "trust us, we know what we're doing, you don't need to know" - an obsolete attitude.

19:25:26 [KevinLawver]
How does the W3C keep up with translations then, and who's responsibility is it to localize specs?
19:25:27 [factoryjoe]
open often leads to monocultures if you don't work to enculturate an appreciation for diversity
19:25:36 [tantek]
Ian Hickson notes Polish posts on WhatWG blog.
19:25:36 [molly]
factoryjoe - the one I spoke at I was one of two women and one of three "minorities"

well, factoryjoe, that's definitely a minority. :P

more open = more translations.
19:26:52 [molly]
MikeSmith: he's verbose
19:26:57 [tantek]
= more access to more people worldwide
19:27:07 [KevinLawver]
MikeSmith - I think you missed the "corporate spokesperson" part of his intro. He's paid not to keep it short. ;)
19:27:09 [MikeSmith]
loquacious
19:27:12 [ChrisWilson]
tantek, isn't that more translations = more open?
19:27:19 [molly]
tantek ideally that's true. on the other hand, look to the challenges that WaSP has had with that
19:27:28 [molly]
Sniffles can certainly speak to that issue
19:27:31 [KevinLawver]
Poulet or the huevo?
19:27:39 [tantek]
molly, that's because WaSP held too tight a control
19:27:42 [rigo]
tantek, so lets hire the EU Commission translation service just for one week
19:27:44 [caribou]
Specification translations are done by volunteers
19:27:46 [tantek]
who could edit what etc.
19:27:55 [hsivonen]
really people need language education so that they can communicate in English
19:27:57 [sniffles]
you have an issue with maintaining changes when you translate
19:28:06 [rigo]
tantek, would drain the budget of W3C for 2 years
19:28:09 [karl]
plus the fact that spec -> translation -> people doesn't mean that feedback is coming back in a language easy to understand
19:28:09 [sniffles]
and some times it also has to do with how english is written
19:28:25 [tantek]

again, when it's a voluntary effort, too, you have the need for editorial backup for accuracy
19:28:47 [hsivonen]
translation is no substitute for learning the interoperable language
19:28:49 [caribou]
(list for coordination)
19:28:51 [molly]
just "making" a translation isn't sufficient
19:28:58 [tantek]

19:29:05 [molly]

19:30:56 [hsivonen]
karl, well we are having this discussion in English as opposed to Finnish or French
19:31:03 [tantek]
some translations > no translations due to editorial paranoia

19:31:22 [molly]
John, how about independents like myself? This trip is costing me a fortune, but here I am because the value of education and relationship and community is more than worth it
19:31:23 [John_Boyer]
Back to subject matter experts, when you sit in a working group, you learn stuff from other experts that inherently gives you an advantage.
19:31:27 [karl]
hsivonen: yes but not sure we understand each other ;)
19:31:40 [sniffles]

19:32:35 [molly]
I'm not so sure I'd call it editorial paranoia
19:32:36 [John_Boyer]
Also, in atttending the working group, you are there to represent the set of requirements that you know about from your own marketspace context.

sniffles, in fact, it seems that most arguments in this forum are between folks that push "good enough" 80/20 solutions, and those who would rather not have the 80 if it means they can't have the 20 also.
19:32:53 [mjs]
if Apple's level of PR paranoia can handle it, I think any company can
19:33:01 [John_Boyer]
And you learn an incredible amount about the overlapping marketspace context that others in your general area have.
19:33:44 [chaals]
mjs, apple seems inclined to talk about HTML in the Patent-policy-free WHATWG in strong preference to the open list in the HTML-WG. Is this just a coincidence?
19:33:55 [John_Boyer]
It really makes better specs to include the perspectives of multifarious participants... as long as everyone comes to the table with the understanding that their ideas *will* be morphed by a consensus process.
19:34:07 [r12a]
chrisWilson, gist translation can sometimes help you decide what you need to read in more detail, but then it gets more complicated
19:34:11 [MikeSmith]
国際化
19:34:20 [charlton]
tantek, there are other angles to the that
19:34:28 [KevinLawver]

IanJ, right, exactly
20:02:08 [Hixie]
come to think of it, name="dc.title" is similar
20:02:10 [ChrisL]
raman, we couldsolve that by typing the URI just once, and associating a short user-specified token to stand in its place and using that token as a prefix
20:02:13 [Hixie]
the "dc" disambiguates it
20:02:17 [charlton]
do the URIs need to be human-readable, raman?
20:02:17 [ChrisL]
... no wait, we already did that
20:02:21 [raman]
The only reason I can write xml ns decls correctly is because emacspeak has a pronunciation dictionary that knows to pronounce the namespace URIs as shortnames ... if I find that useful, I assert it's valuable for more than just me.

@Julian that is option 2
20:15:22 [DanC_lap]
did tantek's remark get into this channel? or a pointer?
20:15:34 [charlton]
they are in the channel
20:15:45 [tantek]
yes, I would prefer that we keep @profile
20:15:48 [tantek]
however, lacking that
20:15:55 [tantek]
we can work with rel="profile"
20:16:04 [molly]
it's in the channel DanC - that's where I read it from
20:16:11 [charlton]

20:16:18 [charlton]
<tantek>
20:16:18 [charlton]
two options perhaps:
20:16:18 [charlton]
1. decide to support a snapshot static set of microformats. apps are doing this now.
20:16:18 [charlton]
2. only support content with explicit profile declarations, and follow-your-nose with those URLs, and only look for those microformats defined in those URLs.
20:16:20 [DanC_lap]
what I heard via molly was "clients should check for profile attributes before inferring stuff from microformat content" .

The answer is "create a profile"
20:16:33 [glazou]
Markus: please note the process and implementation of molly-multimodal are damn fast :)
20:16:53 [tantek]
answer: create an XMDP profile for your POSH classes
20:16:53 [KevinLawver]
And then publish that profile.

20:17:47 [tantek]
no no, that's not what happened
20:17:49 [burn]
why not IETF/IANA -- they already have a process for registries that encompasses individual through broad use registries
20:17:51 [tantek]
album:title etc. was dropped
20:17:55 [tantek]
"fn" was all you needed
20:17:58 [raman]
in fact for a while they tried to kill the title attribute.

>isn't self reflexive?
21:07:11 [mjs]
I dunno if that's only for reason of comments like Hixie mentions
21:07:13 [anne]
and that Mozilla's support doesn't do DOM is sort of a showstopper imo
21:07:20 [Lachy]
yeah, it needs text/javascript;e4x=1
21:07:24 [karl]
talking about jQuery, John Resig was here around a few minutes ago

which I think is not currently workable in any browser
21:07:50 [AaronGustafson]
tethered to the laptop
21:08:00 [Hixie]
yeah i don't know why mozilla hasn't implemented DOM() and XML() or whatever they're called
21:08:02 [JerryCarter]
Lachy, ECMAScript 4 will include E4X natively. AFAIK, E4X can be bolted onto ECMAScript 3 without issue.
21:08:04 [Hixie]
the spec defines how it should work
21:08:04 [Philip]
anne: E4X doesn't do doctypes at all, as far as I remember
21:08:06 [mjs]
ferraiolo: the syntax is reserved but it's not planned to be mandated in ES4
21:08:11 [AaronGustafson]
I may come in and out as coverage wavers
21:08:29 [mjs]
it seems like e4x would be confusing using with elements that have a rich DOM API
21:08:30 [anne]
Philip, good
21:08:38 [molly]
ChrisWilson: Got yer sock puppet out?
21:08:44 [anne]
I believe in theory it does have DOM support
21:08:45 [anne]
btw
21:08:47 [Lachy]
would be nice if I didn't need to use the switch to turn it on and if there were a compatible way to do <!-- --> comments, though comments aren't essential anyway

21:22:28 [ferraiolo]
Adobe never documented it, but it was just OpenType headers with one of the tables removed so that the font could not easily be used within an editing app
21:22:30 [gsnedders]
Web 2.0 Ultimate (with Ultimate Extras!)
21:22:44 [ferraiolo]
The compacted Type1 format is documented on the Adobe site
21:22:44 [Liam]
I think there's actually a spec for CEF somewhere... speaking of Adobe and Web Fonts, Thomas Phinney blogged about it recently, http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2007/11/web_fonts_1.html

"the shallow end of the bitstream" sounds like "the shallow end of the gene pool". Coincidence?

Just support the video element with the API and let third partys ship OGG Theora/Vorbis and Dirac codecs that can plug-in and work with the media player
21:49:08 [rigo]
dsinger, but Howcome is doing really good preaching
21:49:27 [Lachy]
then that's problem solved for MS and Apple, since they avoid the legal hassels of shipping Theora and it can still become widely used
21:50:00 [dsinger]

Lachy, shipping a plugin api (and we already do) doesn't solve the problem of interoperability, because content developers will want the codec on the machine to build with.

the set of <source> in each <video> is indeed one amelioration of a lack of universality, but it is is a work-around
21:57:42 [ChrisWilson]
and 2) content developers don't want multiple copies for no super-good reason.
21:57:42 [anne]
ChrisWilson, legal reasons are good enough to ignore a SHOULD prolly
21:57:54 [mjs]
there's no required baseline currently
21:57:57 [Lachy]
I don't think a required baseline format will work. The spec currently doesn't require OGG, it only recommends it
21:58:00 [mjs]
there's a recommended baseline

MikeSmith, we have demonstrated video on Mac and Linux in other places, and they too will be made available "in the near future"...

the only other solution would be to get all the members of the MPEGLA to give up their patent licences, which doesn't seem likely till they expire in about a decade

I think the availability/nature of what is already in the spec. for accessibility is not obvious (even to Hakon)
21:59:34 [shepazu]
work in progress
21:59:57 [ChrisWilson]
mjs, anne - I understand. I'm sympathetic to the real goal - baseline fmt that just works. I don't see how to make it happen, since I've been advised the likelihood Ogg Theora is really unencumbered approachs zero. TINLA, IANAL.
22:00:25 [rigo]
this needs a lot of work, let's wait for the video workshop
22:00:26 [ferraiolo]
My opinion is to don't waste time on trying to specify a required codec. It's futile to think that the Japanese consumer electronic devices will switch to a different format just because a W3C spec makes a recommendation.
22:00:41 [ChrisWilson]
Lachy - hey, I like your solution. Can you ring up MPLA? :)
22:00:47 [JerryCarter]
TINLA = I'm wearing a tin hat with my fingers in my ears chanting 'La, la, la, la...'?
22:00:47 [anne]
it's so broad
22:00:52 [Lachy]
sure :-)
22:00:58 [gsnedders]
ChrisWilson: I don't see how either, but I think there should be a recommendation, even if it is ignored by most
22:01:03 [ChrisWilson]
"This Is Not Legal Advice"
22:01:13 [dsinger]
there are a lot of interesting markup, dom, styling issues we can usefully spend our time on before the baseline format becomes the only problem to discuss

I strongly agree with the SMIL chair about not reinventing SMIL. SVG uses SMIL. People are implementing SVG in SMIL. Just also add it to HTML just like IE5 did with HTML+SMIL
22:06:15 [marcos]

22:06:51 [DanC_lap]
(somebody take a photo of dave singer? maybe I can find one somewhere else)
22:06:54 [KevinLawver]
charlton, you're only saying that because snitter = Air.
22:06:55 [ChrisWilson]
maybe html5 should use the other 30%
22:06:56 [molly]

svg uses pretty much the same pieces of SMIL as HTML+SMIL
22:07:33 [charlton]
@KevinLawver - not really.... :-) snitter is an example (happens t/b AIR) of how to combine feeds with Twitter
22:07:34 [KevinLawver]
Whatever we do, the next working group needs to be called FR0N to balance out SMIL.

well, it's had more than enough time to prove itself to be author-friendly
22:11:19 [molly]
gsnedders: that was exactly my point
22:11:20 [mjs]
SMIL has support for static images

smil is excellent at what it's for: media integration
22:14:32 [danz]
hixie: give me a second to find it
22:14:33 [mjs]
and the HTML5 API is actually more useful for interesting and useful playback
22:14:36 [PHB]
Getting it compressed to a codec that would work on a mac was an issue
22:14:48 [dsinger]
if I only have one media (medium) i probably don't need it
22:14:56 [anne]
so SMIL went from 111 to 1?
22:15:00 [anne]
I wonder how that went
22:15:00 [PHB]
We need a standard, what the standard is matters much less than that there is a standard
22:15:01 [mjs]
if the problem at hand is "embed a video in my blog", then SMIL doesn't meet the criteria of "as easy or easier than using Flash"
22:15:02 [dsinger]
and even with smil we need a normal way to embed it in html
22:15:04 [ferraiolo]
The key thing that SMIL provides is the timing model which explains how multiple time-based elements are kept in sync
22:15:05 [ChrisWilson]
tantek - well, as an employee of the company with the biggest dollar sign target painted on it, that is what concerns me.

22:15:25 [charlton]
the nub is approaching video content as equal to other media - rules/profiles expose the capabilities and requirements
22:15:25 [mjs]
shepazu: feel free to do so, it's a free spec
22:16:00 [ChrisWilson]
phb - the problem is that I don't see a really safe freely implementable codec.
22:16:02 [mjs]
<video> should be as easy as <img> for basic cases
22:16:06 [charlton]
worse @molly, they are often being judged by people who are quite angry at that and other aspecs of their situation

22:17:10 [gsnedders]
charlton: that's very true, and also why I tend not to answer any question given to the class. I'll give a totally correct answer, in a way too technical for anyone else to understand.
22:17:15 [ChrisWilson]
yeeeesh. are you talking consumer video cameras, or what a P&S camera emits, or both?
22:17:19 [JerryCarter]
For basic cases, why not just use <img> to point to video? Hell, animated GIFs aren't far from it.
22:17:25 [Liam]
hmm, where's that animated ascii-art telnet interface for the Star Wars film gone?

Man, I wish my TV was 8 feet wide.
22:17:50 [dsinger]
point and shoot (still) cameras; though DV is very like m-jpeg, and dv audio is raw also
22:17:53 [mjs]
JerryCarter: because videos images and sounds are different media
22:17:56 [gsnedders]
Man, I wish I was in Cambridge.
22:17:57 [ChrisWilson]
JerryCarter - heh. Do a web search on "dynsrc".
22:17:59 [Hixie]
danz: i'd be interested in seeing how simple it is to have a video element like html5's using smil

22:18:41 [anne]
karl, might scare away readers, so I try not to
22:18:45 [JerryCarter]
ChrisWilson, looked up dynsrc. That's frightening.
22:18:47 [charlton]
@gsnedders - indeed; other experiences I have witnessed - uni students being failed on work judged by TAs simply due to the TAs wanting to silently require a certain impl
22:18:50 [ferraiolo]
Hixie: My opinion is invent an html video tag but define its behavior relating to other time-based elements using the SMILtiming model
22:19:00 [gsnedders]
charlton: TA?
22:19:08 [ht]
Teaching assistant
22:19:10 [molly]
gsnedders true you are in a minority, but there are certainly teens that are far more advanced in technology and particularly the Web than the teachers who don't get it, didn't have it, etc.
22:19:22 [ChrisWilson]
anne - i see no rant?
22:19:39 [anne]
I think you can't find it because it contains 111 URIs which is considered as spam by search engines
22:19:43 [tantek]
HÃ¥kon: "$100 laptop can't show video"
22:19:45 [Hixie]
ferraiolo: that would be useful, yes, if it's possible
22:19:48 [dsinger]
re: smil; I am not at all sure we should attempt to merge smil into html in the first iteration; embedding it is a good start
22:19:53 [tantek]
HÃ¥kon, but can it do animated GIF? ;)
22:19:55 [gsnedders]
molly: knowing how some teachers are, there are often a lot of pupils far dumber than me who are still far more knowledgeable than the teacher
22:20:06 [shepazu]
howcome, who fronts the money?
22:20:08 [Hixie]
tantek: he said it could do video, just not the more modern codecs, as i understand it
22:20:09 [DanC_lap]
is there any way to find out how free ogg is? reliably? what would it cost? are the members willing to pay it?
22:20:12 [ferraiolo]
Hixie: anyone who has implemented SVG, such as Opera, already has the SMIL timing model implemented
22:20:15 [Bert]
tantek, howcome said it *can* show video.
22:20:15 [anne]
ChrisWilson, http://annevankesteren.nl/2006/03/smil
22:20:17 [charlton]
@gsnedders, @molly - many TAs are worse
22:20:26 [gsnedders]
charlton: that's part of the reason why I'm not intending on doing CS at uni
22:20:26 [Lachy]
I thought H?kon just said the $100 laptop could play video, or did I hear incorrectly?
22:20:29 [shepazu]
howcome... for the patent search and due diligence?
22:20:34 [charlton]
due to how they tend to be abused at uni
22:20:38 [ChrisWilson]
Tantek - actually, I think animated GIF could be our baseline format... :)
22:20:39 [Hixie]
ferraiolo: indeed
22:20:50 [DanC_lap]
can we get the USPTO to say definitively that ogg isn't covered by patents for some fee?
22:21:03 [rigo]
take mpeg4 and mpeg21 and we are all done, but unfortunately ..... [...]
22:21:04 [ferraiolo]
Hixie: but note that SVG doesn't use SMIL markup
22:21:05 [JerryCarter]
DanC, don't think so.
22:21:05 [dsinger]
svg is also time-based, and therefore had to have a timing model, and so smil issues arose; html is not (yet) time-based (much)
22:21:09 [molly]
charlton I think that's political though, not always a statement of knowledge
22:21:10 [charlton]
@gsnedders it is one of the intangibles w.r.t. taking uni
22:21:12 [Hixie]

22:22:32 [Hixie]

22:42:40 [Al]
eXtensible validation -- anybody for NVDL? Schematron?
22:42:58 [anne]
you actually want way more than simply DTD/RNG validation btw; for HTML you want to check for instance whether a table is done correctly (columns / rows are correct)
22:42:59 [KevinLawver]
Feel really bad for Pat Haney right now. ;)
22:43:06 [anne]
validator.nu does that for HTML 5

KevinLawver: did I miss something?
22:43:26 [karl]
Al: the issue is ill-formed. It is not about validation in tools but more how validation is defined by the specification.
22:43:37 [dsinger]
has anyone validated tbl's own pages :-)?
22:43:41 [karl]
The troubles right now is that the specification are not written for authors.

if HTML is a "rendering language', image/html
23:06:35 [tantek]
application/xhtml+xml has not been well adopted by browsers because the processing model for it is insufficiently defined as compared to the de facto processing model for text/html.
23:06:57 [glazou]
I accept drink/* at this moment
23:07:03 [chaals]
tantek, eyes on bugs don't necessarily find them.

23:07:10 [IanJ]
TBL: We should get ISPs to serve content with proper mime types.
23:07:16 [glazou]
and i refuse totally food/chicken !
23:07:18 [charlton]
@molly it doesn't matter where w/web 2.0 ;-)
23:07:23 [tantek]
chaals, more on eyes = higher probability of finding bugs = higher quality in the macro
23:07:28 [ChrisWilson]
tantek, I'd argue a/x+x has not been well adopted by browsers because few people serve it, because IE doesn't accept it.
23:07:40 [Liam]
+1, Chris
23:07:42 [KevinLawver]
application/xhtml+xml completely violates the "be liberal in what you accept" ideal.

kevinLawver yeah, that was a mistake.
23:08:04 [tantek]
ChrisWilson, IE doesn't accept it because we *tried* to implement it and ran into *numerous* areas where its processing model was unspecified, and eventually gave up.
23:08:04 [ChrisWilson]
I mean the ideal

23:08:22 [KevinLawver]
Which is why no one who has markup from other sources will eeeever serve content with it.

laurent has left #tp
23:14:50 [tantek]
that will give you all blog post references to all W3C specs/drafts
23:15:01 [tantek]
and from there you can filter for references to CSS specs in particular
23:15:34 [fantasai]
tantek: that'll give me people discussing how to use CSS
23:15:39 [fantasai]
tantek: tutorials, etc
23:16:01 [fantasai]
