- are the video workshop minutes Member-only on purpose? I though they were supposed to be public after a review
- 10:09:20 [MikeSmith]
- hsivonen - URL?
- 10:10:02 [hsivonen]
- MikeSmith: http://www.w3.org/2007/08/video/minutes
- 10:10:28 [hsivonen]
- linked from the w3.org front page
- 10:10:56 [MikeSmith]
- OK, I'll ask Philippe now
- 10:11:05 [hsivonen]
- MikeSmith: thanks
- 10:16:14 [MikeSmith]
- hsivonen - Philippe's not online, so I went ahead and set it to public. The fact that it's linked to on the home page without a "[member only]" note seems to suggest it definitely was not intended to be member-only
- 10:16:18 [MikeSmith]

- the _blank thread looks mostly healthy; I just wish some test-case-elves were following along.

- sampablokuper has joined #html-wg
- 16:57:15 [Philip]
- What kind of test case would help that thead?
- 16:57:55 [Gerrie]
- Gerrie has joined #html-wg
- 16:58:19 [DanC_lap]
- one where the input document has target="_blank" and the output is "conforming" or "non-conforming"
- 16:58:51 [DanC_lap]
- better if the input documents capture some use cases, such as gmail
- 16:59:49 [DanC_lap]
- the output could also be: new window allowed/required/forbidden
- 17:00:42 [DanC_lap]
- allowed + browser-makes-new-window = pass
- 17:00:50 [DanC_lap]
- allowed + brosers-uses-same-window = pass
- 17:01:00 [DanC_lap]
- required + browser-uses-same-window = fail
- 17:01:12 [DanC_lap]
- forbidden + browser-mades-new-window = fail
- 17:02:06 [zcorpan]
- the thread isn't about what browsers do, but about whether _blank should be conforming for authors
- 17:02:07 [DanC_lap]
- it makes a WG decision straghtforward to phrase
- 17:02:25 [Steve_f]
- dan: is the meeting happening now or have i got the times wrong?
- 17:02:30 [DanC_lap]

- Dave, is http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0288.html the message you're speaking of?
- 17:22:47 [ChrisWilson]
- agrees with Dan - but doesn't understand if "SQL-lite" is descriptive enough to go with currently.
- 17:23:19 [anne]
- it's SQLite
- 17:23:42 [ChrisWilson]
- sorry, someone else mis-typed in an email, and I haven't finished my first cup of coffee.
- 17:23:43 [DanC_lap]
- action-13?
- 17:23:43 [trackbot-ng]
- ACTION-13 -- Chris Wilson to talk to WebAPI and WAF WGs about their role in offline API stuff and how they work with and contribute to the discussion -- due 2008-02-21 -- OPEN
- 17:23:43 [trackbot-ng]
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/13
- 17:23:52 [gsnedders]
- What version of SQLite? Do we have to copy bugs from SQLite?
- 17:23:53 [gsnedders]
- etc.
- 17:24:12 [anne]
- ChrisWilson, no need for apologies, just making sure everyone is talking about the same thing :)
- 17:24:23 [DanC_lap]
- close action-13
- 17:24:23 [trackbot-ng]
- ACTION-13 Talk to WebAPI and WAF WGs about their role in offline API stuff and how they work with and contribute to the discussion closed
- 17:24:31 [DavidFBills]
- I guess the real question would be whether it would follow the feature set or actually implement the actual code
- 17:24:42 [ChrisWilson]
- So Anne, since you're not on the phone - the question is "is 'SQLite' a defined enough, interoperable spec to refer to?"
- 17:25:22 [anne]
- Probably not. As I said on the mailing list, the plan is to wait for two implementations and to define it then
- 17:25:24 [gsnedders]
- ChrisWilson: SQLite supports most of SQL92 — I think requiring SQL92 support would be easier
- 17:25:36 [gsnedders]
- <http://www.sqlite.org/omitted.html>
- 17:25:53 [anne]
- You don't want all of SQL anyway, as some features don't make sense for client-side storage
- 17:26:26 [anne]
- (encodings, transactions, etc. should probably all be banned from the language as far as this API is concerned)
- 17:26:27 [gsnedders]
- That's true, but it's probably better to define what we need in terms of SQL92 than any implementation
- 17:26:43 [aroben]
- aroben has joined #html-wg
- 17:26:55 [anne]
- I don't see why it needs to be in terms of something else, one more level of indirection
- 17:26:58 [DanC_lap]
- CW: I talked with Chaals about WebAPI/HTML boundaries... they're being re-chartered...
- 17:27:14 [DanC_lap]
- CW: I think we can find editors too...
- 17:27:32 [DavidFBills]

- DanC: Joshue, did you look at missing alt in your video survey?
- 17:35:01 [DanC_lap]
- Joshue: no, but could do...
- 17:36:09 [Josh]
- Would be glad to provide video footage to supplement discussion on @alt issue
- 17:36:13 [DanC_lap]
- "the failure of the HTML5 draft to make
- 17:36:13 [DanC_lap]
- @alt on <img> an across-the-board requirement (even if sometimes
- 17:36:13 [DanC_lap]
- it has the value of "") is a bug."

- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0082.html
- 17:37:05 [ChrisWilson]
- if it's required but allowed to be "", why is that any better? Is there a pointer to that discussion somewhere?
- 17:38:15 [Josh]
- The null alt value is ignored by Assistive Technology for one thing.
- 17:38:16 [gsnedders]
- ChrisWilson: the rational seems to be it "is inconsistent with WCAG"
- 17:38:43 [ChrisWilson]
- @Josh I think you're agreeing?
- 17:38:44 [gsnedders]
- (I've never seen any better rational than that, even if there is some)
- 17:39:00 [ChrisWilson]
- @gsnedders umm. yeah.

- I find Alexa to be of questionable trust with respect to traffic numbers but... I don't know who else is publishing something like this... particularly something that either has an XML feed or a screen-scrape friendly front-end for automating the crawl.
- 17:39:49 [Josh]
- @Chris, am not sure yet what I am agreeing to ;-)
- 17:39:50 [anne]
- the PFWG actually failed to address our concerns
- 17:39:51 [oedipus]
- there is going to be the possibility of a null value for an attribute, and in the case of ALT, that should be a "reserved character" -- if you use alt="" it will be skipped and you better damn well make sure that it was only decorative (or a spacer)
- 17:39:59 [anne]
- their argument boils down to: "it should be invalid"
- 17:40:01 [oedipus]
- how so, anne
- 17:40:50 [Josh]
- @Chris One concern is that making the alt value optional send the wrong message to bad developers
- 17:41:00 [sampablokuper]
- Are spacer graphics still considered okay?
- 17:41:25 [zcorpan]
- sampablokuper: no (they never were)
- 17:41:34 [sampablokuper]
- right; thanks for confirming.
- 17:41:34 [Josh]
- That they can somehow ignore it, which in some cases they can (Spacers or presentation graphics/icons with null values are Ok etc)
- 17:41:54 [oedipus]
- no, spacer gifs are supposed to be supplanted by CSS, but then again, HTML4.x also formally deprecated use of BLOCKQUOTE for stylistic reasons, but like spacers, they continue to be everywhere
- 17:41:55 [anne]
- they can also ignore it by setting alt=randomValue
- 17:42:05 [anne]
- which is the point the PFWG failed to address
- 17:42:14 [Philip]
- sampablokuper, the current HTML5 draft says "The img must not be used as a layout tool. In particular, img elements should not be used to display fully transparent images, as they rarely convey meaning and rarely add anything useful to the document."
- 17:42:24 [Josh]
- @sampa Do you mean spacers GIFs as opposed to icon type or button graphics?
- 17:42:54 [Philip]
- (though that makes some of my canvas test cases non-conforming)
- 17:42:58 [sampablokuper]
- @Josh I was referring to the comment by oedipus above
- 17:43:12 [zcorpan]
- Philip: (test cases don't need to be conforming)
- 17:43:14 [Josh]
- @sampa no worries
- 17:43:15 [oedipus]
- sampablokuper, did you get my reply
- 17:43:40 [sampablokuper]
- oedipus, yes, thanks
- 17:44:03 [oedipus]
- when you use @foo all 4 screen readers i have here choke and don't speak the word -- that's why i don't like the @foo attribute shorthand

- agendum 5. "ISSUE-34 commonality" taken up [from DanC_lap]
- 17:48:00 [oedipus]
- there also is an ancient "accessibility" trick from the days of HTML Wilbur, where one would use invisible 1 pixel images to provide "unobtrusive" context; something now supplanted by WCAG2 Technique C7 (use of overflow to "hide" extra contenxtualizing text to a link that visually says "Real More..." or "See Also..." multiple times on a page
- 17:48:28 [dfbills]
- oh the dreaded spacer.gif
- 17:50:04 [DanC_lap]
- "Can we get access to tools that determine how often markup is used on the web?"
- 17:50:20 [dfbills]
- I've always found it interesting that img alt tags are designed for accessibility, but the most common use would be in lightweight or mobile browsers where the overhead in byte-count actually slows the loading of the code over the network.
- 17:50:27 [DanC_lap]
- CW: clearly these tools are valuable; Microsoft has some and in some cases I might be able to use them for HTML WG purposes
- 17:50:42 [DanC_lap]
- [somebody]: and Ian Hickson can do queries at google sometimes
- 17:51:10 [dfbills]
- Is anyone providing it on the web? or at least statistics similar to netcraft with the server stats?
- 17:51:32 [DanC_lap]
- ACTION: Dan ask the TAG about tag soup measurement techniques
- 17:51:33 [trackbot-ng]
- Created ACTION-55 - Ask the TAG about tag soup measurement techniques [on Dan Connolly - due 2008-02-28].
- 17:51:39 [gsnedders]
- dfbills: Phillip Taylor has some data at <http://canvex.lazyilluminati.com/survey/2007-07-17/analyse.cgi/index>
- 17:51:45 [smedero]
- It seems like the real issue with the markup analyzation isn't the tools so much as the web-scale data mining hassles.

- Thanks, DanC
- 17:56:11 [DanC_lap]
- the IRC channel was used for a mix of ordinary IRC chat and transcribing the teleconference; I didn't recruit a dedicated scribe, so it's a bit chaotic.

- 17:57:47 [DanC_lap]
- yup; thanks.
- 17:57:52 [oedipus]
- no problem
- 17:58:08 [DanC_lap]
- now... how to get the minutes to be clear that we didn't actually take up item 6?
- 17:58:46 [oedipus]
- hey, i just know the outsiders' tricks - the only ,tool i can use as non-staff is the plain text generator
- 17:59:23 [DanC_lap]
- well, I'd clean up the minutes manually, but my next teleconference convenes in ... um... now.
- 17:59:24 [sampablokuper]
- DanC, I'm happy to scribe meetings occasionally if you'd like. The only problem is that although I can dial in, I can't necessarily talk much as I'm in a shared office.
- 17:59:57 [DanC_lap]
- good to know, sampablokuper ; were you on the call today?
- 18:00:17 [sampablokuper]
- No, I wasn't, but I can be in future.
- 18:00:57 [sampablokuper]
- (As long as it's understood that during work hours I won't be able to say much on the phone, to avoid disturbing my colleagues in Cambridg University Library)
- 18:01:12 [sampablokuper]
- Oops Cambridge :)
- 18:01:23 [oedipus]
- you don't need to minutes the "shush"es
- 18:01:43 [sampablokuper]
- ;)
- 18:01:50 [oedipus]
- by the way, to correct when minuting the syntax is "s/wrongword/rightword
- 18:01:57 [oedipus]
- without quotes
- 18:02:08 [gsnedders]
- it's full sed syntax, AFAIK

- 18:03:03 [sampablokuper]
- Thank you, oedipus. I didn't realise sed syntax was popular in irc. Those links are very useful.
- 18:03:34 [oedipus]
- you are quite welcome - as those docs say, they represent the collective wisdom of w3c participants...
- 18:04:40 [sampablokuper]
- Great. Okay, back to work now... Bye, and thanks again.
- 18:04:44 [oedipus]
- danC, did you want to dismiss zakim or let him leave when he gets tired of monitoring the bridge?
- 18:04:48 [oedipus]

- 19:53:51 [Hixie]
- hm, better than i expected
- 19:53:59 [Hixie]
- still pretty abysmal though
- 19:56:13 [Philip]
- (There's 7 with class=vcard, plus 12 on Wikipedia and 5 on Blogspot)

- 20:01:34 [milesdefeyter]
- milesdefeyter has joined #html-wg
- 20:08:22 [Hixie]
- oh well do the cases with class=vcard and the cases with class=adr overlap?
- 20:08:33 [Hixie]
- because adr is a part of vcard that was taken out into its own mf
- 20:14:00 [Philip]
- Of the 6 non-Wikipedia with adr, 4 also have vcard, 1 is http://www.spezial.ru/ which looks like it's not an address, and 1 is http://www.klaardesign.se/ which looks like it's not a microformatted address
- 20:14:46 [mjs]
- mjs has joined #html-wg
- 20:15:15 [Philip]
- I think adr isn't meant to be used by itself - it's just been split out so it can be reused as a component of other microformats (which currently is only hcard)
- 20:15:32 [Philip]
- Oh, but I think wrong
- 20:15:56 [Philip]
- because http://microformats.org/wiki/adr explicitly mentions some adr-not-in-hcard examples
- 20:19:52 [Philip]
- It's used much more than <q> anyway, so it's not doing too badly
- 20:21:09 [Hixie]
