Marcos created lists of advantages and disadvantages of both models. Some people have expressed their preference. The tally appears to be: Only one: Marcos; One Plus: Josh, Benoit; Can Live With Either: Jere. The thread is here: + +45.29.aacc 13:10:22 AB: I would like to get consensus i.e. a resolution on this today and a gentle reminder that "I Can Live With It" will help us get the next LCWD published. Let's start with Marcos - do you see a single model that addresses everyone's concerns? 13:11:35 MC: the new model doesn't address the concern where multiple localizers are involved in the process pipeline 13:11:54 ... the new model is easier to implement 13:12:26 ... agree the config file could grow to an un-manageable size 13:12:40 ... the I18N WG said the new model is OK 13:12:54 ... I think we could merge the models 13:13:09 BS: I don't understand the merge model Marcos 13:13:38 MC: have the main config file but if the app has lots of localized data that data can be put in separate files 13:13:46 MoZ has joined #wam 13:14:58 abraun has joined #wam 13:15:26 AB: any other comments? 13:15:40 when using both models there would need a sort of precedence of some sort so that 2 information do not overlap 13:16:05 RB: so is the idea to have a single file for v1.0 and then in v1.* move to support the old model 13:16:15 MC: yes, that is true 13:16:56 RB: I think it makes sense to start with something simple and only add the more advanced features if we need them later 13:17:02 MC: the model is to use a single config doc for 1.0 13:17:20 ... inside that file the xml:lang attr is used to localize specific elements and attrs 13:17:36 s/fixed it/will fix it/ 13:18:17 ... in subsequent version of P+C we add support for locale-specific conf files 13:18:32 AB: is this right Marcos? 13:18:35 MC: yes 13:19:18 AB: any comments about this evolution path 13:19:29 ... Note that timeless is not on the call 13:19:36 w3c_ has left #wam 13:19:54 ... He objected to the new model but did not include any rationale for his objection 13:20:15 ... Benoit, what are your thoughts on this evolution proposal? 13:20:22 BS: I think I can live with it 13:20:38 ... I do think localizers having their separate files is better 13:21:02 ... but having just one config file wil be easier for the developer 13:21:39 AB: I think we have consensus to go forward with Marcos' proposal 13:22:11 w3c has joined #wam 13:22:24 AB: draft resolution: for v1.0 we will use the new l10n model proposed by Marcos and consider multiple locale-specific config files for the next version 13:22:32 AB: any objections? 13:22:34 [ None ] 13:23:30 RESOLUTION: for v1.0 we will use the new L10N model proposed by Marcos and consider multiple locale-specific config files for the next version 13:23:38 Topic: P&C spec: status of element: 13:23:47 AB: last week the element was noted as an open issue that must be addressed before we can publish a new LCWD. http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#the-access-element If I recall correctly, no one volunteered to submit any related inputs. The note in the ED says "ISSUE: This element is currently under review. A new proposal will be available in the next few days that will provide the ability to list which URIs can be accessed.". 13:24:09 s/// 13:24:27 q+ 13:24:37 AB: Marcos, what is the status and what specific inputs are needed? 13:24:55 MC: I am researching how to address this 13:25:01 ... looking at what Opera does 13:25:14 I need to align it with http://homer.w3.org/~connolly/projects/urlp/raw-file/008373680cae/wah5/draft.html 13:25:15 ... but we probably will want to do something a bit different 13:25:33 ... the above is by Dan Connolly 13:25:43 q+ 13:26:16 TR: what alignment with DC's draft is needed? 13:26:25 MC: need to align with terminology 13:26:59 ... need to break up the scheme parts to diferent attrs 13:27:06 ... e.g. port can be a list 13:27:45 TR: this is similar to some work in POWDER WG 13:28:13 ... wonder if this needs to depend on the URLs in DC's work 13:28:20 ... but we can take it to e-mail 13:28:52 ... doing this should take a week or two and will require some changes 13:29:17 RB: can we please get a pointer to POWDER work? 13:29:30 TR: will get one; not sure if there needs to be a dependency 13:29:38 ... we should take this to e-mail 13:30:45 MP: we previously discussed a hybrid approach 13:31:19 ... and then define some precedence rules if there are conflicts in host elements 13:31:36 ... for v1 can we just go with URI 13:31:57 ... and if a hybrid approach really is needed we do that in a subsequent version of the spec 13:32:11 ... What do you think about that approach? 13:32:22 MC: could be a prob in some use cases 13:32:32 ... some web apps have many subdomains 13:32:47 ... then those couldn't be accessed 13:32:58 RB: but could use *.foo 13:33:10 MC: yes, that's an option 13:33:12 RB: e.g. http://*.googlemaps.com 13:33:33 -[IPcaller] 13:34:00 +??P2 13:34:14 AB: any last comments before this discussion moves to the mail list 13:35:05 MC: if we use wildcards, it opens a different set of questions 13:35:16 ... e.g. what part of the scheme are "*" permitted 13:35:39 RB: typically, don't need too many ports 13:36:07 ... want to start with something simple for v1 13:36:18 ... and possibly ask for more feedback 13:37:14 AB: please take the discussion to the mail list 13:37:49 ... MC, can you make a short proposal on the mail list? 13:37:54 MC: yes I will 13:38:09 ... re wildcarding, CORS tried this and it didn't really work 13:38:15 Topic: P&C spec: element given Apple's patent disclosure 13:38:53 AB: Apple's disclosure raises the question "what, if any, changes must be made to the P&C spec?" where one major concern is if P&C has a dependency on Updates. There appear to be two relevant pieces of text: Section 7.14 ( element) http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#the-update-element and Step 7 http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#step-7-process-the-configuration-document. 13:39:29 - +1.919.536.aaaa 13:39:34 AB: My take is that Section 7.14 is OK as written given what we know today (PAG hasn't even had its first meeting). The element's processing in Step 7 could be qualified with something like "this step is only performed if the UA implements [Widgets Updates] but I can live with the existing text. 13:40:16 AB: One other option is to put a Warning in 7.14 e.g. "Warning: this feature may be removed because ...". 13:40:54 AB: what are people's thoughts on this? 13:41:28 BS: without any info from the PAG, I think we should keep it and add some type of warning 13:42:13 TR: is the question, how far can the spec go given the PAG? 13:42:37 ... I think the group cannot go beyond LC but will verify with Rigo 13:42:44 + +1.919.536.aadd 13:43:44 AB: the syntax is in the PC spec but the proc model is in the Updates spec 13:43:50 MC: yes that is correct 13:44:20 MC: we could remove element from P+C and define it in the Updates spec 13:44:34 AB: any comments on Marcos' proposal? 13:44:40 AB: I like that proposal 13:44:49 BS: I would be opposed to it 13:45:07 TR: I will discuss this Rigo and cc member-webapps 13:45:08 but I do not want to hold the P&C spec with this 13:45:48 TR: I can understand the concern about a normative ref for a spec that may be stalled 13:46:13 AB: we will wait for some feedback from TR and Rigo before we implement MC's proposal 13:46:27 Topic: P&C spec: step 7 - need to add element and the element; 13:46:39 AB: last week and were noted as needing work. I believe Robin agreed to help with this. What is the status and plan? http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#step-7-process-the-configuration-document 13:47:20 RB: I haven't made a lot of progress on this 13:47:42 MC: I will try to finish this by tomorrow 13:47:55 ... I have been blocked by the consensus on the L10N model 13:48:10 ... but now that we have that consensus, I can make the appor changes 13:48:23 Topic: P&C spec: XML Base 13:48:33 AB: Thomas and Marcos have exchanged some emails about this http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009JanMar/0883.html What is the status and what specifically needs to be done to address the issue? 13:49:16 MC: this relates to the L10N model too 13:49:32 MoZ has joined #wam 13:50:07 ... the xml:lang value needs to match the name of a localized folder 13:50:29 ... TR is wondering if XML base is the right solution for this 13:51:07 ... there are some other related issues too; I've been talking to Robin and others in Opera about this 13:51:25 ... Not having a URI scheme for widgets cause problems too 13:51:36 ... ZIP relative paths are not URIs 13:52:24 TR: we want a model to make refs from within the html 13:52:40 ... but mapping URI refs to something else 13:52:53 ... using XML base is not going to help 13:53:09 ... as it confuses the left and right sides of the mapping 13:53:42 ... The spec lang MC wrote redfines XML base 13:54:06 MC: I still want to try to solve this with XML Base 13:54:42 ... our solution will have to work with HTML base 13:55:06 TR: if there is a URI scheme defined that points at things within the widget 13:55:16 ... then we can use that URI scheme throughout 13:55:18 MC: yes 13:56:33 TR: does the base paramter sit on the URI side of the mapping or the other side 13:56:51 ... similar to some questions we had about References in DigSig 13:57:12 ... struggling with a missing design decision 13:58:23 TR: there are two things: uri ref and the other is paths to the zip 13:59:13 ... think most things should be in URI side but some things should be on the zip side 13:59:25 asledd has joined #wam 13:59:27 ... Need to get some consistency in the various specs 13:59:39 RB: agree we must solve this problem 14:00:00 RB: metadata files will feel more comfortable in URI space 14:00:28 TR: This is another instance of the URI discussion. We have some things that live in URI space. We have some things that live in Zip path space. We need to do a translation between the two and say where that happens. 14:00:37 RB: we have to solve this anyway for the content of the widgets (HTML, SVG), so since we need to solve it, and since it would be more comfortable to use URIs in config.xml we ought to solve it once and use it everywhere 14:00:39 TR: Right now, we're reinventing that translation over and over again. That way lies madness 14:01:58 .AB: other than "take this to the mail list", who is going to do what to help us get closure here? 14:02:21 s/.AB/AB/ 14:02:29 AB: any last comments? 14:02:45 Topic: A&E spec 14:02:59 AB: the latest ED of the A&E spec includes many Red Block Issues. I'd like to go thru as many of them at a high level and for each of them get a sense of what specific inputs are needed and the plan to get those inputs. Latest ED is: http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/ 14:04:06 Arve: Marcos, the latest ED says 25 March but I don't think it is the latest version 14:04:15 AB: yes, I was wondering the same thing 14:04:25 fjh has joined #wam 14:05:31 Arve: should we go thru all of the Red Blocks? 14:05:41 AB: I want to understand what needs to be done 14:05:54 Arve: re Window issue 14:06:50 ... who can talk to HTML WG 14:07:06 RB: I think Window will be split out as soon as an Editor is identified 14:07:15 MC: but no one has agreed to be the Editor 14:07:40 AB: so what does this mean in terms of the progression of this spec? 14:07:55 MC: I don't think we need a depedency on the Window spec 14:08:21 ... We can just add some text about the "top level ... " 14:08:29 Arve: yes, we can make it informative ref 14:08:39 http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/svgudom.html#dom__Window 14:08:57 TR: agree, it can be Informative ref 14:09:21 AB: do we consensus the dependency is an Informative ref? 14:10:14 Arve: yes 14:10:40 Benoit has joined #wam 14:10:56 ... I can re-write this Red Block 14:11:14 ... I only want a DOM 3 Core ref and Widget ref but nothing else 14:11:30 ... and XHR as is done already 14:11:32 Benoit has joined #wam 14:11:51 AB: any objections to Arve's proposal? 14:12:09 RB: that's OK; could even make the dependencies in a sep doc 14:12:12 Benoit has joined #wam 14:12:19 [ No objections ] 14:12:34 AB: next, Section 5 - Resolving DOM Nodes 14:12:44 Arve: we don't need to say anything about the URI scheme here 14:13:17 ... I propose removing this section 14:13:33 Benoit has joined #wam 14:13:54 ... and be a bit more specific about how URIs are used where appropriate in the spec 14:14:23 AB: so you propose remove seciton 5? 14:14:25 Arve: yes 14:14:33 AB: any objections to that proposal? 14:14:37 [ None ] 14:14:59 AB: next is 7.3 - identifier attr 14:15:35 ...

How is uniqueness assured? 14:16:03 Arve: not sure what we should do here 14:16:34 ... my proposal is to use an equivalent element in the config file and to use that 14:16:55 AB: any questions or concerns about that proposal? 14:17:10 ... Marcos, what element would be used? 14:17:14 MC: not sure 14:17:31 q+ 14:17:51 AB: so the action for you Arve is to check the config file and come back with a proposal? 14:17:55 Arve: yes 14:18:38 ACTION: Arve create a proposal for the A+E's section 7.3 Red Block issue re the identifier attribute 14:18:38 Created ACTION-325 - Create a proposal for the A+E's section 7.3 Red Block issue re the identifier attribute [on Arve Bersvendsen - due 2009-04-02]. 14:19:04 TR: is this just needed at runtime? 14:19:22 ... is this put in the base URI 14:19:32 ... want to understand what is needed for 14:19:43 Arve: we do not need to define how it is used 14:20:04 ... at runtime, a unique id is generated 14:20:15 ... and randomizes the base uri 14:20:24 TR: this seems like an imple detail 14:20:37 ... want to understand how it is used by widget instance 14:20:39 s/imple/simple/ 14:20:44 Benoit has joined #wam 14:20:48 MC: yes, what would a developer use it for? 14:21:13 Benoit_ has joined #wam 14:21:14 TR: what is this attr used for? 14:21:33 it might be that the attribute you really want is origin 14:21:35 ...
