The document tree is shown below." 17:26:23 by the way 17:27:04 as designed 17:27:28 timbl: idea that if you find something hex encoded is actually UTF-8 is actually wrong 17:27:41 Dan: requirement is about non-Western search service, but I don't understand it very well. Tim do, you know about URIs from Baidu.com. 17:27:41 Tim: HTML meeting at TPAC. The machinery for HTMl URLs can generate things that look like encoded IRIs but are not. So, you cannot assume that anything hex encoded is UTF-8 is not true. 17:28:14 This is because the HTML system has its own way of encoding params from HTML forms into URIs 17:28:19 Tim: HTML meeting at TPAC. The machinery for HTMl URLs can generate things that look like encoded IRIs but are not. So, the assumption that anything hex encoded is UTF-8 is not true. 17:28:49 DanC, draft-ietf.html looks better, but still two major problems: 1) it's not well-formed (try ,validate); 2) the scope of ed-notes is still unclear 17:28:53 DanC: Martin's reply is more coherent 17:29:09 Can we copy the quote just read into our minutes here? 17:29:34 Well, the problem is that when a server gets data (in a path component, 17:29:34 and even more in a query part), they need to know what encoding it is to 17:29:34 make sense of it and provide a reasonable answer. The reason why you are 17:29:34 calling this the "search engine" problem may be that this problem is 17:29:34 most prominent with search engines, because everybody agrees that people 17:29:35 want to search in their language, not limited to US-ASCII. 17:29:37 But it applies to any kind of query parts. 17:29:50 Some search engines have their own way to passing encoding information, 17:29:51 as an example, in 17:29:51 http://www.google.com/search?q=%E9%9D%92%E5%B1%B1&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8, 17:29:51 "ie" indicates input encoding (i.e. what's sent to the server, and "oe" 17:29:51 indicates output encoding (what should be sent back). 17:29:56 from: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009May/0001.html 17:30:18 The HTML form convention is that the text in the text input field is in the same chset as the page istelf, and when the parameters is encoded in a URI, the same encoding as te HTML page is made. 17:30:25 DanC: firefox implemented it per IRI spec 17:30:28 s/made/used/ 17:31:06 (the best way to slow down is to make test cases. here's hoping I find time) 17:31:12 zakim, mute me 17:31:12 Ht should now be muted 17:31:38 DanC: two paths in their code. 17:31:38 q? 17:31:54 tied up with form submission and form processing 17:32:10 Martin's "Currently..." para bears out my experience with flags in mozilla 17:32:28 noah: when you say implement the IRI spec - assume that this is independent of content-type used to encode form 17:32:34 q+ to talk about IRI specs and normative behavior 17:32:56 Danc: href youre looking at is inside a doc 17:33:03 with some encoding 17:33:15 noah: it's not any old anchor, it's on a form 17:33:21 submit 17:33:42 timbl: you have to encode what someone types in, in the language in which they're typing 17:33:48 timbl: local encoding is used 17:33:57 danc: then someone bookmarks the URL 17:33:59 q+ separate out: definition of protocol element(s) -- Web Address, LEIRI, IRI -- behavior of form processing agents in producing one or more of those protocol elements -- and behavior of IRIs LEIRIs etc. in HTTP or other protocols (ftp: or file: URIs) 17:34:06 q+ to separate out: definition of protocol element(s) -- Web Address, LEIRI, IRI -- behavior of form processing agents in producing one or more of those protocol elements -- and behavior of IRIs LEIRIs etc. in HTTP or other protocols (ftp: or file: URIs) 17:35:01 timbl: if someone follows bookmark, browser assumes UTF-8 and gets garbage 17:35:22 danc: HTML5 says don't do that, use "Big5" 17:35:31 "Big5"? 17:35:44 danc: baidu uses big5 17:36:24 danc: put in some chinese chars, go over wire percent-encoded 17:36:29 香蕉 17:36:48 danc: one of the links on that page is then copied into some other document 17:36:56 http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%D3%DA%B0%D9%B6%C8+ 17:37:05 danc: href=...
