16:09:48 John: Got some push back from HCG to use the wiki for requirements 16:10:05 John: They want it to be published as a WG Note 16:12:29 John: We can go on writing it on the wiki, and in a couple of months we can convert it to SpecXML 16:13:27 "Purpose: A Working Group's Last Call announcement is a signal that: 16:13:27 the Working Group believes that it has satisfied its relevant technical requirements (e.g., of the charter or requirements document) in the Working Draft;" 16:13:57 The process doesn't require a requirements doc, but doesn't forbid one either 16:14:14 TOPIC: Make progress on "Add Model Item Properties to UI Level" 16:14:19 zakim, unmute me 16:14:19 markbirbeck should no longer be muted 16:14:25 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2008Mar/0010.html 16:15:38 John: We wanted to figure out what the simplified syntax is for a purchase order 16:16:47 http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/Add_model_item_properties_to_UI_level 16:17:14 Need to decide whether MIP attributes on controls create MIPs or whether they create properties of UI controls 16:17:26 If the former, then we need "Unified Context" work from nick 16:17:32 I vote for MIPs 16:17:51 If the latter then we don't need "Unified Context" but it's a lot more work to describe the processing model for UI properties 16:17:55 ... makes the processing model more obvious, and creates no new rules 16:18:15 s/no new/fewer new/ 16:18:47 ack, me 16:18:53 ack me 16:19:07 Nick agrees with Steven 16:19:10 +1 for MIPs 16:19:50 Erik: Not sure it matters much to the author 16:19:53 Nick: I agree implying MIPS (binds) 16:20:40 http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/Unified_evaluation_context 16:21:08 Erik: I think that making the simplified syntax well is more important then mapping it to existing structures, it should stop us if we need to create a lot of new spec text 16:21:58 +[IBM] 16:22:05 zakim, [IBM] is Charlie 16:22:05 +Charlie; got it 16:22:08 http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/XForms_Future_Features 16:22:27 Erik: We talked last week of combining MIPS, and that is related to simplifying forms 16:22:51 uh, that is NOT related 16:23:17 John: There is the mandatory section and Supplementary and the example is in the Supplementary 16:23:18 s/is related/is NOT related 16:25:46 MarkB: I've done some work on it 16:26:44 John: We talked a lot of implying mips on the binds, but mark asked last week if we already decided if they aren't local to the UI 16:28:17 Erik: We could define the evaluation context of the readonly attribute on the UI elements 16:28:34 Erik: The evaluation context of these new attributes could be different than how we currently define it 16:28:57 MarkB: Favors locally attaching the properties to the UI controls 16:29:23 16:30:20 16:30:26 John: A good example is evaluation context for the calculate of an output 16:32:31 John: Explains the name allows references to the result of the output control 16:34:12 Nick: Doesn't the "variable" concept (the dollar proposal) break down inside a repeat? 16:34:18 John: Yes I suspected it would 16:34:32 John: That's why I want to do this example. 16:34:32 how would this work in HTML4/5 forms? 16:35:36 John: I want it to create elements, the UI imposes the structure of the instance 16:35:46 16:36:00 ... 16:36:15 16:36:21 16:36:40 16:36:42 16:37:05 Erik: proposes a control() which will refer to the elements produced by the ui control 16:37:14 sum(control('my-control')) 16:37:27 16:37:28 s/my-control/line-subtotal 16:39:06 MarkB: explains that referring to the value of elements (binds, ui controls) with xpath-variables 16:39:42 Erik: We have to be careful with how we use variables 16:40:06 MarkB: A variable is a nodeset 16:41:23 unl has joined #forms 16:41:26 MarkB: Explains that all binds could be available in the UI 16:43:50 John: Explains the example he just posted 16:44:52 Erik: I want to see full examples of possible simplified syntax, then we can choose the best one 16:44:54 I think the above markup for PO implies this data: 16:44:56 16:45:00 16:45:06 16:45:10 16:45:15 16:45:19 16:45:22 16:45:48 16:45:52 16:45:58 16:46:03 16:46:19 And these binds: 16:47:06 MarkB: Your proposal omits '..' this will need a change in our spec, and your proposal doesn't uses a calculate and not a value 16:47:13 16:47:55 16:48:05 MarkB: The architecture is important, I would propose that a control creates a bind and you will then be able to refer to that bind 16:51:24 Nick: Your name is just a ref that doesn't changes the inline evaluation context of the other attributes on the control 16:52:53 16:52:53 16:53:18 16:53:19 16:53:19 Unit Cost 16:53:19 16:53:33 s/lael/label/ 16:54:18 MarkB: Explains his proposal 16:54:26 s/lael/label/G 16:54:57 16:55:36 16:56:19 16:56:53 So what I'm getting at is that this should be able to work, in whatever model we adopt: 16:57:02 16:57:10 16:57:30 I think so, otherwise it would be a failure of us 16:57:33 that way the author is very gradually adding more and more XForms. 16:58:14 John: Ok so, I'm not seeing a lot of difference between Mark's and mine proposal 17:00:09 MarkB: You are saying that your name is a ref and in my proposal it is a bind 17:00:52 17:00:52 Line Total 17:00:52 17:03:44 MarkB: John is referring to a node, in mine you refer to a variable 17:09:19 mark, could you please give the subtotal expression in IRC?
