f2f agenda

Nikunj: [comments in general support of un-conference stuff]

<Julian> MikeSmith: wants to use the F2F to make progress on test cases

<Julian> MikeSmith: proposes joint meeting with TAG

MikeSmith: first part of the morning on Thursday will be a joint f2f discussion with the TAG

<Julian> Joint meeting with TAG would be great

<smedero> An agenda would be good...

<smedero> as I believe TAG has a number of issues with HTML 5... not sure we can cover them all in a morning session.

- Treatment of URLs in the HTML5 specification

- Content-type determination

also possibly:

- Embedding of HTML in other languages

- Modularity of the HTML 5 spec

<Julian> - Modularity of spec (wrt other W3C and IETF specs)

<Julian> MikeSmith: explains W3C process with respect to advancing the spec and resolving issues with the TAG and the Director

<Julian> - relation to XHTML

<Julian> ?

<Laura> PFWG F2F topics of potential interest:

<pimpbot> Title: minor tweak to FYI PFWG F2F topics of potential interest from Al Gilman on 2008-09-30 (public-html@w3.org from September 2008) (at lists.w3.org)

<Laura> Al specifically asked to discuss tables with PF at the F2F:

<pimpbot> Title: function and impacts (was: scope and headers reform) from Al Gilman on 2008-09-14 (public-html@w3.org from September 2008) (at lists.w3.org)

<Julian> MikeSmith: desire of authors to use ARIA as currently implemented with HTML4 and validate it

<Julian> MikeSmith: Henri's validator.nu already does it for HTML5 (using RelaxNG+Java)

<Julian> MikeSmith: some people want DTD-based validation though

<Julian> MikeSmith: also more work needs to be done to describe precise semantics of ARIA in HTML

<Laura> The idea of a extension or bookmarklet for ARIA seems good.

<Laura> Henri's suggestion of serializing the DOM and sending it to an external service could work equally as well. But it doesn't have to be his service.

<Laura> The Web Developer extension in Firefox has an option to validate the local HTML, and that works by sending the generated source to the validator, which is the same idea.

<pimpbot> Title: Input for Agenda Planning for the HTML Issue Tracking - HTML Issue Tracking Tracker (at www.w3.org)

<Laura> Chris: Last week for action 72 @headers, you mentioned that you would "follow this up. Get the issues into the wiki and continue discussion until there is a consensus. If opinion is very entrenched then we will have a poll."
