Convene HTML WG teleconference

<DanC> I'm looking at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/agenda for stuff to discuss...

<Julian> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/154

action-54?

<trackbot-ng> ACTION-54 -- Gregory Rosmaita to work with SteveF draft text for HTML 5 spec to require producers/authors to include @alt on img elements -- due 2008-05-29 -- OPEN

<trackbot-ng> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/54

<DanC> DanC: I'm out next week

ISSUE-27 rel-ownership

<DanC> JR: I see the TAG is endorsing Mark N.'s Link: header draft

<DanC> I find http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-01.txt

<DanC> " This document clarifies the status of the Link HTTP header and

<DanC> attempts to consolidate link relations in a single registry."

DanC: proposed +agenda: WG policy on (excessive and unilateral) raising of issues in the WG tracker

<DanC> # Re: rel="contact" Ian Hickson (Wednesday, 28 May)

<DanC> Re: Please add rel="timesheet" Ian Hickson (Wednesday, 28 May)

<DanC> timesheet went to http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/RelExtensions

<DanC> DC: getting things into IETF registries is not straightforward

<DanC> JR: you don't have to register everything; rel="" takes URI values in Mark N's proposal. HTML could be changed likewise.

<DanC> JR: I expect a new draft from Mark N soonish; perhaps best to wait for that.

ISSUE-31 missing-alt

<DanC> action-54?

<trackbot-ng> ACTION-54 -- Gregory Rosmaita to work with SteveF draft text for HTML 5 spec to require producers/authors to include @alt on img elements -- due 2008-05-29 -- OPEN

<trackbot-ng> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/54

<DanC> Joshue: folks have been busy so we're behind where we expected to be.

<Cathead> Action item 54 delayed

<DanC> DanC: I don't see much urgency; I don't think anybody is waiting for it; I just see deadlock.

<Cathead> We may have collated the feedback and be able to produce a doc for the Wg by next week

publications

<DanC> MS: html 5 looks ready to go middle of next week; I have a thorough changelog

<DanC> MS: and the Anne's diffs document is ready too

<DanC> MS: and the Offline Web Apps intro is ready to go tomorrow

raising issues

<DanC> MS: Gregory added 9 items to tracker; they look more like proposals than issues.

<DanC> discretion in adding issues Dan Connolly (Thursday, 29 May)

<DanC> Closing out old and "bogus" issues
