Topic: Update on CURIE spec
16:08:11 [Ralph]
Shane: the XHTML2 WG is producing a CURIE spec independently
16:08:55 [Ralph]
... there was an objection to the XHTML2 WG publishing FPWD of another spec because it inlined CURIE normatively
16:09:13 [Ralph]
... so we decided to update the CURIE WD
16:09:25 [Ralph]
... this doesn't impact RDFa-syntax for the moment
16:09:41 [Ralph]
... just notice that XHTML2 WG is pushing forward CURIE
16:10:11 [Ralph]
... so long as the content [between RDFa-syntax and CURIE WD] is identical, I don't think we have a problem
16:10:27 [Ralph]
... it would be an editorial change to refer normatively to a separate CURIE WD
16:10:52 [Ralph]
... this TF has said it does not want to be dependent on a separate CURIE spec
16:11:18 [Ralph]
... the TAG has formal comments on CURIE
16:12:14 [Ralph]
... I've added to the intro in the current CURIE editor's draft
16:13:01 [Ralph]
Ben: one of the sticking points seemed to be what to do if an attribute could contain either URI or CURIE
16:13:21 [Ralph]
Shane: yes, and we don't want to break legacy markup
16:13:34 [Ralph]
... another concern was about the use of namespaces as prefix mechanisms
16:13:39 [Ralph]
... I think we have a good story there
16:14:31 [Ralph]
Topic: Follow-your-Nose
16:14:46 [Ralph]
Shane: in an XHTML2 WG call yesterday the question came up ...
16:15:23 [Ralph]
... one user discovered it was hard to find the vocabularies [from a document]
16:15:32 [Ralph]
Manu: that's a document usability concern
16:15:51 [Ralph]
Ben: but it's also philosophical; we don't want to say "these are all the vocabularies you can use"
16:16:13 [Ralph]
Shane: but the namespace URIs we use in the example don't give readable HTML documents
16:16:32 [Ralph]
... maybe FOAF redirects, but vCard and geotagging don't
16:17:09 [Ralph]
... Ralph pointed me at the Recipes document http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-vocab-pub/
16:17:20 [Ralph]
... this made the complainer happy
16:17:31 [Ralph]
... so getting the examples in the Primer to be good examples [would help]
16:17:42 [Ralph]
Manu: we need a process for cleaning up the examples
16:18:11 [Ralph]
... CreativeCommons namespace is a really good example of how to do this right
16:18:28 [Ralph]
... it's one of the few you can actually use in a Web browser to get a human-readable page back
16:18:58 [Ralph]
... common complaint from microformats community is that there aren't human-readable pages at the [RDFa] vocab URIs
16:19:48 [Ralph]
Ben: both FOAF and Dublin Core do redirect to English specifications
16:20:26 [Ralph]
... hmm. right now Dublin Core doesn't redirect

16:23:36 [Ralph]
ACTION: Ralph followup with Dublin Core on what's going on with their namespace URI
16:28:25 [Ralph]
Shane: second part of follow-your-nose is whether @profile is optional or not
16:28:53 [Ralph]
... there should be an announcement mechanism
16:29:08 [Ralph]
... DOCTYPE doesn't work because none of the XML parsers give you back the doctype
16:29:28 [Ralph]
Ben: one of the requirements for RDFa was that people write RDFa in widgets where they don't control the head of the document
16:29:53 [Ralph]
... I'm happy to have @profile but reluctant to say that absence of @profile says you shouldn't try to parse RDFa
16:31:17 [Ralph]
Ralph: architectural issue is whether a document instance is self-documenting
16:31:36 [Ralph]
... DOCTYPE or @profile are both mechanism to make self-documenting
16:31:44 [ShaneM]
ShaneM has joined #rdfa
16:32:32 [ShaneM]
some attributes trigger triple generation
16:33:05 [Ralph]
Ben: we should leave a grey area where a document that does not have either DOCTYPE or @profile can still be parsed for triples
16:34:09 [benadida]
ACTION: Ben to respond to comment on follow-your-nose
16:34:19 [Ralph]
Ralph: yes, so long as it's the case that there is no use of the RDFa attributes that would NOT generate triples; i.e. no accidental use
16:34:28 [Ralph]
... and I think this is currently the case
16:34:32 [Ralph]

[DONE] ACTION: Ben check that browsers do preserve whitespace in attribute values [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/11/15-rdfa-minutes.html#action07]
16:35:28 [Ralph]
Shane: I thought this had to do with _content_, not attribute values
16:35:47 [Ralph]
... the XML spec is very clear on the handling of attribute values, though browsers may currently implement incorrectly
16:35:59 [Ralph]
Ben: we resolved the question w.r.t. content
16:36:25 [Ralph]
... and we noted the possibility that attributes might be a way to force whitespace preservation if the author needed it

Topic: @instanceof
16:41:16 [Ralph]
Ben: I think Mark's proposal is better, so I'm withdrawing mine
16:41:39 [Ralph]
Manu: trel/trev was in case we couldn't agree
16:42:10 [Ralph]
... Mark's proposal is better than trel/trev
16:42:55 [Ralph]
Ben: Mark makes strong arguments about why this should work
16:43:03 [Ralph]
... it's more consistent w.r.t. chaining

Ben: can't vote today, given regrets, but let's start revising test cases and testing parsers
16:46:47 [Ralph]
... let's try to resolve this next week
16:46:47 [ShaneM]
Question: are people comfortable adding a conformance requirement that documents MUST have the XML PI <? xml ... >
16:47:05 [Ralph]
Manu: I posted two test cases that apply to the new proposal
16:47:18 [Ralph]
... these address hanging @rel
16:48:17 [Ralph]
Ben: I advocate more tests cases where each is simple rather than fewer complicated tests
16:48:36 [Ralph]
... more tests is Good

-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2007Dec/0022.html Two new test cases needed? [Manu]
