MWABP: JSON parsing

brucel: I talked to some of the guys in Opera. We don't have any formal tests that we've done and that we could share, but the "10 times" figure sounds correct to anyone.
... whether we should reconsider is another topic, but the impact of performance is real.

dka: ok, that's an important point.

<brucel> Opera also agreed that security concerns are v important

francois: dom replied with the same arguments I raised before.
... The problem is with security. It's hard to write a BP that has security implications.

<brucel> Anne van Kesteran just replied to me that "soon browsers will have native JSON parsers" but that's not a BP for now

dka: ok so we need to find some balance between security and performance

MWABP - Kai's Hendry comment

-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-comments/2009AprJun/0002.html Kai Hendry's comment

francois: it's more or less a suggestion that we have a BP around the use of OpenID

dka: I think it's worth considering. Maybe not talking specifically about OpenID.
... Do you think it fits into the mobile space?

francois: it may not be mobile enough and also with OpenID you need to enter a URI to log into a site so this might not be appropriate for the mobile space.

francois: Also FOAF+SSL technology might remove the need to enter u+p but this is still an emerging technology.

francois: I love OpenID but ...

<DKA> So do I!

dka: my view would be that it's incorrect to have a BP that specifically calls out OpenID.

<brucel> +1 with dka for usability issues

dka: I think it's worth discussing on the mailing-list.
... Using one OpenID could ease remembering of the URI by browsers, but that's not implemented in browsers for the time being AFAICT.

Addendum to BP

<jsmanrique> Zakim abel_.a is jsmanrique

kai: the status really hasn't changed. Jo should reword to have some linguistic integrity within the document and set another editorial meeting.

dka: I know Jo's really busy these days, so I'm a bit worried about that. Is it possible that we re-assign this action to someone else?

kai: Phil Archer had offered to do that.

dka: He's the one I had in mind, indeed.

<scribe> ACTION: dan to get in touch with Phil and Jo with a view to having the Addendum reviewed for consistency [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/05/19-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-963 - Get in touch with Phil and Jo with a view to having the Addendum reviewed for consistency [on Daniel Appelquist - due 2009-05-26].

kai: I would be happy to do that as well.

dka: let me start this, and I'll get out of the way.

kai: good.
... what about the second editorial session?

francois: another one was planned indeed, but it's kind of linked to the above action on dan to see if Phil can replace Jo.

CT

dka: anything we could discuss?

francois: I don't think so. We need to see the result of the discussion put into words. Editorial work.

seanp: I agree with francois.

dka: I guess that's another point to try to remove the addendum from Jo's hand so that he may focus on the CT guidelines.

<brucel> More on the JSOn question: It would only make the app run 10x slower if evaling the incoming data is the major performance bottleneck. If that's the case you might be better off dumping json altogether and going for a format that is optimized for your needs rather than designed to be flexible (see e.g. [1] for an example complete with numbers).

dka: any other point?

francois: not from me. About relationship between WCAG and MWBP, the Education and Outreach WG is to review the doc on Friday. Hopefully publication early next week.
