<dom> Dom's proposed rewrite for BP 1.5

<dom> ACTION-872?

<trackbot> ACTION-872 -- Dominique Hazaƫl-Massieux to work on reformulating 4 "tests" of BP 1.5 -- due 2008-10-28 -- PENDINGREVIEW

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/actions/872

Jo: Dom has done his action, action on everyone else to respond.

Kai: Thank you to Dom for reworking the document. Believe this is pretty tight. Request to the group for feedback so Kai can continue with that format.

BP2

Adam: Have folding in comments from the F2F and will share early next week.

Jeff on the ETSI document

Jo: Action-875 should have been on the agenda. Jeff to comment on the ETSI document.

<jo> Jeff's comments on ETSI doc

jeffs: Guidelines for generic UI elements for 3G terminals... Have sent a review email to the list.
... there are some areas where we could do work on our stuff in response, but want to get some feedback from the group before digging much deeper.
... Main document is "pretty big"... Overview document (the one under review) is only a few pages long.

<jeffs> ETSI DEG 202 972 V 0.30 (2008-06-02)

<jeffs> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fportal.etsi.org%2Fstfs%2FSTF_HomePages%2FSTF322%2FDEG%2520202%2520972%2520v30_June2_2008_HF46.doc&ei=pQwTSdqPCoyk8ASV-LjQBg&usg=AFQjCNEoGEIc_8b9ANk0H7Xuc-AhpFEFVw&sig2=fsTF_NsshzXwpze1Rt7viA

<brucel> apologies to all for being late; absorbed in a project and just noticed time

Jo: Main document is 44 pages... Two things we could do: 1) Provide feedback. 2) Use material to reinforce documents.
... We should restrict feedback to "we are concerned with point XXX" but don't want to get in the position of contributing text.

jeffs: Agreed.

jo: In terms of what we use ourselves, the question is what document is this most pertinent to.

jeffs: The only part I disagree with is 5.4 Specialised User Interfaces...

<francois> "In the field of portable devices, it is not realistic to assume a standardization process similar to that which defined the PC user interface."

<jeffs> "In the field of portable devices, it is not realistic to assume a standardization process similar to that which defined the PC user interface."

<jeffs> from in 5.4 Specialized user interfaces of ETSI DEG 202 972 V 0.30 (2008-06-02)

jo: In summary -- we need to read Jeff's review and form a collective opinion. We will put this on the agenda for next time.

Jonathan's Proposal for Microformat for mobileOK

<jo> mobileOK Korea proposed microformat

<jo> Jonathan's proposal

jo: I think what Jonathan is saying here that getting browsers to understand Powder is quite hard, but it would be easier in this microformat.

PhilA: I have drafted a response which I have sent to powder WG members first.

<brucel> Can I point out that the microformat has an accessibility mistake when it claims "Human vs. ISO8601 dates problem solved"

PhilA: What Jonathan has done has create a microformat based on Powder work.
... one of the differences is that the description is separate to the document it describes.
... Jonathan's proposal would put a lot of extra bytes into the XHTML document.

<JonathanJ> I agree that point.

PhilA: so Phil's questions whether this is a question worth paying...
... but on the otherhand, Jonathan's point that microformats are well supported is valid.

<jeffs> seems to me there might be a way to point to the meta-data rather than to embed it... is there a reasonable and small-byte-count approach to that??

PhilA: depends what you are trying to do. No problem per se with making a microformat based on Powder.
... if you lose the ability to attribute who is making the claim that is a core part of POWDER that would be lost.

Phil will be posting his comments to the list soon.

<JonathanJ> I think microformat can made in simplest way.

jeffs: What we're talking about is metadata... The objections about large byte count are reasonable, so was wondering if there was a reasonable mechanism for microformat to point to metadata file?

Phil: Three ways this is supported: 1. LINK REL; 2. HTTP LINK; 3. RDF annotation.

<jo> (Phil discusses <link rel="describedBy">)

<JonathanJ> I think my propose will be one of additional method for trustmark.

<dom> RDFa is not compatible with XHTML basic

jo: Pointing out that MobileOK requires valid XHTML1.1, RDFa might not qualify. Would need to ensure that a microformat was valid XHTML

<dom> but most microformats can be used in XHTML Basic

<JonathanJ> OK

<jo> summary for Jonathan: Phil will post to list under ISSUE-283 a more extensive version of his comments and we can discuss on list, OK?

<PhilA> presumably link is OK in XHTML Basic?

<jo> yes, Phil

<PhilA> and HTTP Link is independent of any format

<JonathanJ> OK. If it possible, I will try to find more reasonable format.

<JonathanJ> please, send me what is the problem. I need comments. :)
