Iframe tests

Alessio: My tests have been progressing nicely
... I can now bookmark pages with iframes
... I will send an email about it, with a link to my test page

CSS Namespaces

<Roland> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xhtml2/2008Mar/0020.html

Roland: Steven, your review got a quick response
... we have to decide how to reply to that

Steven: The reply is that there are already implementations, so they don't want to make any change
... So we could say that if they are unwilling to make the change, they should at lease identify the problem in the spec
... and warn people that using default namespaces in CSS will have this problem
... and people might choose not to use default namespaces if they want the stylesheet to work across implmenentations

Mark: I think we should point out that last call comments shouldn't be treated like this

Shane: What is the doc's status?

Steven: In WD for 9 years, never been a rec

Shane: Then I agree with Mark; if it's been broken for 9 years it should still be fixed

Steven: [Explains our original comment]

Mark: Does foo: {color: green} work in a NS aware CSS agent?

Steven: Yes, it should work the same as in CSS1
... it is only if you have @namespace "..." that the semantics of simple selectors change
... so the best way round the problem is always to use explicit namespace selectors like html|a: {color: blue}

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to reply to CSS about default namespaces [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/03/19-xhtml-minutes.html#action01]

Changing time to 15 mins earlier

Steven: This call overlaps with the Forms call, so Mark and I would like to avoid this

[No objections]

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to make call 15 mins earlier [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/03/19-xhtml-minutes.html#action02]

FtF

Roland: Shane?

Shane: Still working on it

Plenary

Steven: I filled in the form

Basic Implementation Report

http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/xhtml-basic-11-implementation.html

<yamx> How about this one? http://testfest.openmobilealliance.org/XHTML_Suite_3/index.xhtml

Steven: I need a URL for the test results

Yam: Put my file I sent somewhere and point to it.

Steven: OK, great

<scribe> ACTION: Steven to publish Yam's results and point to it from implementation report [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/03/19-xhtml-minutes.html#action03]

CURIE

Roland: Shane, you sent out a doc for last call

<ShaneM> http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-curie-20080318/

Steven: So we will go to last call since the TAG hasn't sent the comments it promised?

Roland: Yes
... Section 4 uses some examples, I missed one using XHTML 1

Shane: I can change the XHTML2 example to XHTML 1.1+RDFa

Gregory: I would mention all three

Steven: The HTML example uses @about
... How about using <a rel="cc:licence"
... Shall we add the XHTML 1.1 example before the XHTML2 one?

Mark: We could just say "In HTML 4 you can use <meta scheme" etc
... since this section is only talking about prefix mechanisms

Steven: That could work

Shane: We haven't defined this mapping for HTML4, nor is it up to us to do so
... so maybe we shouldn't have the example

Roland: Agree

Shane: OK, though I think it should be done like this in the future

Mark: My comments are not big, but in terms of the order of the document
... section 5 could come earlier

ShaneI: I will reorder - Usage, followed by Syntax, then prefix mechanisms then conformance

RESOLUTION: Take CURIES to last call

Media type

Roland: There has been a suggestion that this should be sent to HCG

Steven: I spent 2 hours on the phone with people on this yesterday
... I think that the main hurdle I had anticipated is not there
... so I think we are OK

Roland: We might have to create a new note about best practice if people object to us changing the media type note

Mark: We should be able to use these mime types to our advantage
... advertise the application mime type only if you (the UA) understand XML
... but it is perfectly legit to send it as text/html to other UAs
... but then use default namespace etc
... so we just say that it is official you can use both mime types, and then explain how to use them

Role

Roland: Time's up

Roland: We'll do this next week
