- ISSUE-2058?
- 10:33:54 [trackbot]
- ISSUE-2058 -- Lack of BIDI 'direction' -- CLOSED
- 10:33:54 [trackbot]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2058
- 10:34:17 [heycam]
- ED: fantasai still believes we need to change the spec a bit, and i agree
- 10:34:41 [heycam]
- ED: we do have a sentence in the spec atm about the direction attribute, borrowed from 1.1
- 10:34:47 [heycam]
- ED reads out the sentence
- 10:34:48 [ed]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Oct/0241.html
- 10:34:51 [heycam]
- ED: i have some proposed wording in that mail
- 10:35:55 [heycam]
- DS: do we use the term text chunk?
- 10:35:57 [heycam]
- ED: yeah
- 10:36:12 [heycam]
- ED: the tspan element never establishes a text chung because in tiny there's no x/y attributes
- 10:36:20 [heycam]
- s/chung/chunk/
- 10:36:32 [heycam]
- DS: i don't think the box model fits with what we're trying to do here
- 10:36:55 [heycam]
- DS: it doesn't really matter if we set x/y attributes on the tspan, it's still only a tspan
- 10:37:09 [Zakim]
- +NH
- 10:37:10 [heycam]
- ED: but it would be a new text chunk, though this problem isn't in tiny
- 10:37:20 [heycam]
- ED: tspan is equivalent to an "inline level element" in the CSS spec
- 10:37:25 [heycam]
- DS: glancing over the wording it seems ok to me
- 10:37:42 [heycam]
- ED: i just wanted to avoid having tspan in there as the only element, because in full or later spec versions it might be different
- 10:37:47 [heycam]
- ED: so i think it's better to talk about text chunks
- 10:38:10 [heycam]
- EE: you might say the svg tiny 1.2 tspan element, to be clear
- 10:38:14 [heycam]
- EE: did you remove the other paragraph?
- 10:38:21 [heycam]
- ED: i think cameron removed the other paragraph as part of some other action
- 10:38:35 [heycam]
- CM: glyph-orientation-*?
- 10:38:37 [heycam]
- ED: yes
- 10:38:40 [heycam]
- CM: yeah i commented that out
- 10:39:04 [heycam]
- EE: i suggest to take out the para about glyph orientation
- 10:39:13 [heycam]
- EE: the way it's defined is not precise
- 10:39:29 [heycam]
- EE: if you want to keep in text about glyph orientation you'll need to redesign it anyway
- 10:39:38 [heycam]
- EE: so we and i18n group recommend it be removed
- 10:39:58 [heycam]
- DS: i'm concerned that if we design things for tiny that doesn't apply to full it'll cause trouble
- 10:40:06 [heycam]
- ED: the text i suggested will be workable for full going forward
- 10:40:12 [fantasai]
- not precise and also wrong
- 10:40:20 [heycam]
- ED: for glyph orientation i agree it's incorrect so it should be removed
- 10:40:24 [heycam]
- DS: we need to revisit it for full
- 10:40:43 [heycam]
- ACTION: erik to add the suggested direction property text

- 10:41:46 [trackbot]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2083
- 10:43:38 [heycam]
- CM: i made a change to clean up the wording for the paced animation stuff
- 10:44:05 [heycam]
- CM: and olaf replied saying that in the cleanup i shouldn't have taken out the wording about vector/scalar
- 10:44:18 [heycam]
- CM: so i replied to him with suggested wording to put it back in (reworded)
- 10:44:21 [heycam]

- 10:48:33 [heycam]
- NH: i thought maybe it could be a little unclear
- 10:48:58 [heycam]

- 10:53:18 [trackbot]

- 10:54:07 [ed]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Oct/0213.html
- 10:54:10 [heycam]
- EE: doug proposed wording and someone else supplied an example
- 10:54:41 [heycam]
- ED: are the examples necessary for us to continue?
- 10:54:52 [heycam]
- DS: we could just put it into the test suite
- 10:55:04 [heycam]
- ED: i think it's more important to do the wording first, and worry about the examples later
- 10:55:12 [heycam]
- DS: i want to add an example of how you use it, a template
- 10:55:47 [heycam]
- DS: let's say i put direction and unicode-bidi on the root, and i have some text, and then i want to use some english or french
- 10:55:53 [heycam]
- DS: and i put that in a tspan
- 10:56:00 [heycam]
- DS: with what we've said about a tspan, would that still work?
- 10:57:22 [heycam]
- DS: it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more explicit
- 10:57:27 [heycam]
- EE: for the tspan you need the embed
- 10:57:43 [heycam]
- DS: for someone who wants to use arabic in svg, i want to have a template for them to do it easily
- 10:58:04 [heycam]
- EE: you don't need unicode-bidi on the root
- 10:58:08 [heycam]
- EE: you definitely need it on the tspan
- 10:58:40 [fantasai]
- <svg direction="rtl"> ... <text>ARABIC TEXT <tspan unicode-bidi="emped">English quote.</tspan> ARABIC TEXT.</text></svg>
- 10:58:44 [heycam]
- DS: so i would have a paragraph (a text) within which is a tspan, and that tspan has a direction and bidi override
- 10:59:04 [heycam]
- DS: is there a canonical example of something people normally quote?
- 10:59:15 [heycam]
- DS: a hebrew/arabic quote that has some english in it?
- 10:59:55 [heycam]
- EE: i have mixed arabic/chinese, but not arabic/english
- 11:00:04 [heycam]
- EE: you could ask the guy who gave you the example
- 11:01:18 [heycam]
- EE: for embed, i generally only makes a difference if there's punctuation, characters in there that aren't strongly ltr
- 11:01:30 [heycam]
- EE: in the example ori gave, the english is just work so you don't need the properties
- 11:01:36 [fantasai]
- I forgot the direction="ltr" in my example, btw
- 11:01:38 [fantasai]
- don't forget it!

- Topic: Inheritance of display-align
- 11:07:32 [heycam]
- ED: the thing with new wording is not very complex
- 11:07:40 [heycam]
- ED: just flipping display-align property to not inherit
- 11:07:45 [heycam]
- ED: of course there are larger implications for implementations
- 11:07:53 [ed]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Oct/0242.html
- 11:07:56 [heycam]
- ED: so i did some response to this here
- 11:08:08 [heycam]
- ED: currently we do inherit the display-align property
- 11:08:20 [heycam]
- ED: sometimes that's useful if you want to have several textAreas inside a group, and the same alignment on all of them
- 11:08:37 [heycam]
- ED: the problem css has with it being inherited is that text blocks can nest in css
- 11:08:46 [heycam]
- ED: but we can't nest textAreas in svg tiny so we don't have that problem
- 11:08:54 [heycam]
- ED: i think that it wouldn't be such a big problem to specify display-align on the places that need them
- 11:09:05 [heycam]
- ED: if that helps css and if that makes css able to use the same property i think that would be very good
- 11:09:21 [heycam]
- DS: as an author, how many textAreas am i going to have?
- 11:09:35 [heycam]
- DS: if svg is for precision display, not for bulk document display, at least in terms of text
- 11:09:43 [heycam]
- ED: so far i haven't seen many documents using several textAreas like that
- 11:09:49 [heycam]
- ED: at most i've seen 3 or 5 in a document
- 11:09:53 [heycam]
- ED: so it's not like it's a big problem
- 11:09:57 [heycam]
- ED: to specify on each
- 11:10:01 [heycam]
- DS: i agree
- 11:10:30 [heycam]
- EE: the related issue is that the name of the properties or the values are that intuitive
- 11:10:36 [heycam]
- EE: second, making it not inherit would make it incompatible with XSL
- 11:10:47 [heycam]
- DS: do we get this from xsl?
- 11:10:48 [heycam]
- EE: yes
- 11:10:56 [heycam]
- DS: they have it inherit?
- 11:11:00 [heycam]
- EE: that's what i recall, but i'll check
- 11:11:25 [heycam]
- DS: that's more of a problem
- 11:11:31 [ed]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#display-align
- 11:11:44 [heycam]
- EE: in svg tiny it's an attribute or a property?
- 11:11:45 [heycam]
- ED: a property
- 11:11:58 [heycam]
- DS: you're thinking of making something similar?
- 11:11:58 [heycam]
- EE: yes
- 11:12:15 [heycam]
- DS: is it possible to keep this as to align with xsl, then for you to name yours differently?
- 11:12:25 [heycam]
- DS: and then going forward we'll use your name and values for svg core?
- 11:12:38 [heycam]
- DS: where svg core is the next version of the language
- 11:12:45 [heycam]
- EE: would it make sense to restrict this to just be an attribute in tiny?
- 11:13:07 [heycam]
- DS: it wouldn't not make sense, i think it's suboptimal, but since svg tiny isn't going to be the core of the language
- 11:13:15 [heycam]
- EE: that would avoid putting the property into the css parser
- 11:13:30 [heycam]
- ED: it would affect us, we've put it as a css property currently
- 11:13:53 [heycam]
- ED: there could be alternatives for css, maybe introducing something that says you don't use this property unless some other property is set
- 11:14:02 [heycam]
- ED: don't know whether introducing a new property block-align or something is better
- 11:14:57 [heycam]
- EE: we do require having an auto value, and we can say block-align:auto it means look at svg's display-align
- 11:15:44 [heycam]
- DS: since it seems significant coordination between the three groups, and since css would like to have a different property name, i'd prefer to defer this
- 11:16:03 [heycam]
- ED: i still think this wouldn't affect existing content or future tiny 1.2 content, because it would still be possible to fix the content even if we decide later not to inherit
- 11:16:10 [heycam]
- DS: i don't think we would change this one
- 11:16:17 [heycam]
- DS: we can't step on xsl any more than we can step on css
- 11:16:29 [heycam]
- DS: we could deprecate this if we found that the css one makes more sense in a larger context
- 11:16:35 [heycam]
- DS: i'll raise an issue on core
- 11:17:50 [fantasai]
- Given that you already have implementations, and given the above, I'm ok with deferring it to later.

- 11:35:48 [heycam]
- AE: i said we'd discuss it and get back to him

- AE: he is talking about whether it's unspecified if we modify an xml:id attribute that is the on the target of an animation
- 11:36:30 [heycam]
- AE: he says there's no restriction on modifying xml:id when it's in the tree
- 11:36:33 [heycam]
- AE: i kinda agree with that
- 11:36:44 [heycam]
- AE: if we haven't specified it, any implementor would've picked one of the three options

- 11:44:51 [heycam]
- ED: i'd like to change some of the wording [of cameron's suggested text]
- 11:45:19 [heycam]
- ED: the current spec/proposed text says if you have an svg document fragment, like several fragments inline in an XHTML file
- 11:45:26 [heycam]
- ED: then each of the document fragments are separate primary documents
- 11:45:40 [heycam]
- ED: that's fine, but the para after mentions that primary documents have a map of IRIs to resource documents
- 11:45:54 [heycam]
- ED: if svg fragments cannot share the same resources, it takes more processing
- 11:46:10 [heycam]
- ED: e.g. if you have 10 svg fragments each <use>ing the same thing, would you want that to load 10 different resources?

- After a second review of the wording around initial focus I've come to the conclusion that the text could stay as it is currently. Since there is different use-cases for Stand alone SVG user agents and web browsers the specification the specification cannot be to strict on how to handle this.
- 11:46:44 [heycam]
- CM: i wouldn't
- 11:46:58 [heycam]
- ED: one option would be to remove the document fragment case, i don't think that's a good suggestion, and to define it later
- 11:47:05 [heycam]
- ED: another would be to say the primray document is the document itself
- 11:47:24 [heycam]
- ED: that would make the enclosing document be the primary document, so that resources could be shared between fragments
- 11:49:05 [ed]
- so, change cam's wording "Each primary document maintains a dictionary that maps IRIs " to "Each document maintains a dictionary that maps IRIs "
- 11:49:58 [heycam]
- ED: cameron you can incorporate my change and mail out new suggested wording
- 11:50:03 [heycam]
- ED: i agree with the rest of the rewording
- 11:50:08 [heycam]
- ED: this is an issue on the current spec wording too
- 11:51:16 [heycam]
- ACTION: Cameron to incorporate Erik's suggestion into the proposal and add it to the spec
- 11:51:17 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-2345 - Incorporate Erik's suggestion into the proposal and add it to the spec [on Cameron McCormack - due 2008-11-06].
- 11:54:49 [ed]
- DS: tooltip started as tooltip, but morphed to a popup
- 11:55:01 [ed]
- ...the word tooltip has come to mean a little popup
- 11:55:10 [ed]
- ...and it's used in that sense
- 11:55:23 [ed]
- ...not in the sense of a contexthelp
- 11:55:31 [ed]
- ...there's nothing in ARIA that is equivalent
- 11:55:48 [ed]
- ...the vlaue of contexthelp in role, as proposed, has nothing to do with behaviour
- 11:55:58 [ed]
- ...it only maps it to being contexthelp
- 11:56:12 [ed]
- CM: i agree with that, but that's not what the spec says
- 11:56:24 [ed]
- ...shouldn't force the UA to act on this role
- 11:57:06 [ed]
- ...for role="tooltip" in HTML, you might make some divs with yellow background and then display, and then say that yes this is used as a tooltip
- 11:57:17 [ed]
- DS: yes, and you'd use script or something to hide or show it
- 11:57:38 [ed]
- CM: right, but for contexthelp [sorry missed stuff here]
- 11:58:13 [ed]
- DS: ARIA doesn't add automatic behavior, only adds semantics
- 11:58:34 [ed]
- ...you don't have to use contexthelp like described in the spec
- 11:58:50 [ed]
- ...we're going to run into this problem anyway
- 11:59:00 [ed]
- ...people are going to start using role to add behavior
- 11:59:23 [ed]
- CM: if your language doesn't have something the AT can understand, you can fake it by using role
- 11:59:32 [ed]
- ...and do some graphical thing
- 12:00:04 [ed]
- DS: getting people to use aria is that they get some reward
- 12:00:22 [ed]
- CM: right, yes, you get some benefit plus the accessibility
- 12:00:32 [ed]
- ...but I think there should be a contexthelp element instead
- 12:00:43 [ed]
- ...so you don't have to annotate it
- 12:01:22 [Zakim]
- -aemmons
- 12:01:29 [ed]
- DS: i think it's just a matter of where the semantics lie, on the element level or if they can be derived from role
- 12:01:39 [ed]
- ...i think they should be derivable from role
- 12:02:25 [ed]
- CM: my ideal solution would be to have a contexthelp element, and have a role to map that
- 12:02:31 [ed]
- DS: i think that's overkill
- 12:02:49 [ed]
- ...whether it's an element or a role that has the behavior
- 12:02:57 [ed]
- CM: no other role has that trait
- 12:03:38 [ed]
- DS: at the moment role doesn't add behaviors in other aria specs
- 12:03:43 [ed]
- ...but it's going to happen
- 12:03:54 [ed]
- CM: ok, if that's going to happen
- 12:04:07 [ed]
- DS: we can't add a contexthelp element at this point
- 12:04:12 [ed]
- CM: right
- 12:04:23 [ed]
- ...that's how I feel about contexthelp too
- 12:04:36 [ed]
- DS: more comfortable if it was a recommendation?
- 12:04:48 [ed]
- CM: not sure if that's enough
- 12:05:03 [NH]
- Sorry, I have to quit, bye
- 12:05:13 [Zakim]
- -NH
- 12:05:28 [ed]
- DS: isn't this similar to tooltips?
- 12:05:40 [ed]
- ...I think adding behavior based on role helps accessibility
- 12:05:47 [ed]
- ...ppl will use it when they wouldn't before
- 12:06:35 [ed]
- CM: agreed, but I think it's problematic because it's adding behavior
- 12:06:49 [ed]
- DS: the accessibility ppl seemed to like this
- 12:07:09 [ed]
- ...talked to Al Gilman
- 12:07:30 [ed]
- ...he agreed that it'd be better if it was an element, but he was ok with it being a role
- 12:07:49 [ed]
- ...aaron leventhal raised the same objection as CM
- 12:08:03 [ed]
- ...everyone else thought it was good to promote the use of aria
- 12:08:32 [ed]
- CM: ok, so if accessibility ppl are ok with it, what do we do with UA:s that don't implement the behavior
- 12:11:23 [ed]
