A substantive change (whether deletion, inclusion, or other modification) is one where someone could reasonably expect that making the change would invalidate an individual's review or implementation experience. Other changes (e.g., clarifications, bug fixes, editorial repairs, and minor error corrections) are minor changes. 08:35:19 ]] 08:36:33 abraun has joined #wam 08:37:42 MagnusO has joined #wam 08:38:18 richt has joined #wam 08:41:07 timeless_mbp has joined #wam 08:42:03 Benoit has joined #wam 08:44:02 MikeSmith has joined #wam 08:45:57 darobin has joined #wam 08:48:03 q+ to propose option of moving forward with plan to say "we made this substantive change but we don't believe it affects any implementors" 08:48:21 Zakim has joined #wam 08:50:19 mhanclik has joined #wam 08:51:13 DKA has joined #wam 08:51:34 AB: the L10N model was the last part added to the P+C spec 08:51:47 ... I would characterize the changes we agreed to make as "bug fixes" 08:51:58 ... rather than substantive 08:52:27 AB: [Read-through of relevant clause.] 08:52:35 Benoit: we need to find out if the changes we've done are "bug fixes" or if it's breaking an existing implementation. 08:52:45 Marcos: If we're fixing bugs in the spec then we might fix implementation. 08:52:51 Robin: It's meant to leave room for [interpretation]. 08:52:58 Benoit: Is it possible to make a diff? 08:53:05 Marcos: using HTML diff we can do that - a w3c tool. 08:53:11 Art: One of our tasks is to - using these definitions - have a discussion about whether the changes we agreed to earlier this week are "substantive" or not. 08:53:22 JS: In the case of the locale stuff we don't have anyone who's implemented a test suite. 08:53:28 MS: Not sure that's valid because there could be someone who has not publicly disclosed their implementation. 08:53:35 JS: The question is: can I "reasonably" expect that someone has implemented this? 08:53:47 Bryan has joined #wam 08:53:47 JS: I would have thought someone trying to implement this would have complained [about locale] and would have complained 08:53:56 AB: I completely understand what you're saying - but I can tell you that Nokia hasn't got that far. Would any other members - e.g. OMTP - go on record on what test cases they've created? 08:54:04 AB: Is it reasonable to expect that someone has done enough implementation of P&C such that if we make the changes we've agreed this week that the implementation would break? 08:54:16 David: My initial read is "no." 08:54:24 AB: If we agree that the changes are substantive then we have to go back to working draft. 08:54:31 RB: You can go to a 2nd last call. 08:54:37 MS: Yes that's true. 08:54:45 [[minimum period was 3 weeks] 08:54:51 DR: What's the change that's proposed? 08:55:00 Marcos: We corrected some stuff in the internationalization processing. We changed the way the user agent language tags work. That's it. 08:55:08 Jere: if we reconsider the change then we don't have this problem. 08:55:16 Dan: but it's an important change. 08:55:22 AB: Is it a bug fix? 08:55:27 MS: No. 08:55:33 AB: So what is a bug fix? 08:55:40 Benoit: in a way it's a bug fix. 08:55:46 AB: Mike why do you rule it out as a bug fix? 08:55:53 MS: In a normal universe that would not be considered a bug fix. 08:55:59 JS: How could someone reviewing it not have complained? Anyone who did a good job reviewing it would have noticed it. 08:56:06 MS: We need to follow process. But we can do as Josh suggests - move forward on the assumption that nobody could have been effected by this change so they would have noticed the problem. 08:56:12 AB: Let's remember that the last part of the document was the L10N part - and it [therefore] had some bugs. 08:56:20 RB: And we did nothing to the spirit of the algorithm. 08:56:27 MS: That's viable. We can explicitly document that [thought process] and move forward. 08:57:12 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: The changes we've made so far to P&C are considered "bug fixes" (with regard to the process document). 08:57:14 drogersuk has joined #wam 08:57:26 +1 08:57:46 Marcos: Yeah OK. 08:57:53 AB: Dan you agree? 08:57:58 Dan: Yes I agree with Josh's logic. 08:58:10 AB: I suggest substantive changes as adding new features... 08:58:18 RB: Or reworking an existing feature. 08:58:21 AB: Yes. 08:58:26 +1 08:58:32 +& 08:58:32 David: Yes I agree. 08:58:35 +1 08:58:36 +1 08:58:42 +1 08:58:47 +1 08:58:56 MS: +0 08:59:15 MS: We can try it. 08:59:29 MS: It's gonna come down to W3M. 09:00:09 AB: Anyone else want to go on record? 09:00:15 AB: We have consensus. 09:00:21 RESOLUTION: The changes we've made so far to P&C are considered "bug fixes" (with regard to the process document). 09:00:33 q+ to note that we need to document this particular change... 09:01:01 AB: Looking at this from a process POV: when we look at these comments - there are multiple ways they can be addressed. 09:01:36 AB: We do have a requirement to address every comment. We could accept as clarficiation, accept as bug fix, consider it a minor change, consider it a substantive change and agree to do it. 09:01:59 AB: Could we agree it should be changed but not for 1.0 - so defer it? 09:02:27 MS: Same category. 09:02:46 MS: It's a viable approach. 09:03:24 AB: How should we go through Anne's comments? One by one starting with the first... 09:04:55 ack me 09:04:55 DKA, you wanted to note that we need to document this particular change... 09:05:26 Dan: The rationale for the previous resolution needs to be documented for the transition request. 09:05:28 ACTION: Barstow include this discussion in the TransReq for the P+C document 09:05:28 Created ACTION-362 - Include this discussion in the TransReq for the P+C document [on Arthur Barstow - due 2009-06-18]. 09:05:42 Topic: Anne's Comments 09:05:58 Anne: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009AprJun/0902.html 09:06:06 Marcos: This is purely editorial. 09:06:16 [ [widgets] Editorial: 9x Processing ] 09:06:26 Marcos: did people find this section confusing? 09:06:45 Marcin: I have read it a few times - I agree it could be clearer but I could follow it. 09:07:36 AB: Another process-related question - would it be acceptable for some comments to say we agree and we will make the change during CR. 09:08:30 JS: I believe this is an editorial comment and it can be fixed as an editorial comment. 09:08:55 DR: I think this is clearly editorial. To delay changing the spec seems strange. Why not do it now? 09:09:02 AB: Don't want to overly burden the editor. 09:09:35 MS: We could respond with a comment that we "plan to do a normal degree of editorial clean-up during CR". 09:10:11 DR: This should be at the editor's discression as well. 09:10:18 DR: I think we should not wait. 09:10:35 BS: Does he have any particular suggestions? 09:10:50 Jere: I think the spec already has text on the structure. 09:11:04 BS: Without specific input on what he thinks is deficient we can't fix it. 09:11:13 Marcin: for me this is a "style" thing. 09:11:38 AB: consensus for Marcos to fix this in the non-substantive category. Any objections? 09:11:40 [none] 09:12:02 AB: next: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2009AprJun/0903.html 09:12:16 [ [widgets] Rule for extracting file data from a file entry ] 09:12:34 [deep contemplation] 09:12:35 MoZ has joined #wam 09:13:40 AB: consensus for Marcos to fix this in the non-substantive category.

They strongly recommended something like this. 09:22:53 JS: Personally I agree with Anne. I don't understand the benefit. We need to explain that to the I18N people. 09:23:17 AB: One way we could potentially handle this - is to mark this as a feature-at-risk depending on feedback from implementers. 09:23:21 MS: Yes. 09:23:58 Marcos: I think we should drop it from vers 1 and add it back in when the market demands it. If someone wants to use ITS they can use it. We don't add anything new or special. 09:24:43 MS: The point of CR is to get implementation experience. If it's not implemented then it won't meet the exit criteria. 09:24:54 BS: Will this be important for asian markets? 09:25:04 JS: More relevant for Arabic. 09:25:15 [some discussion on unicode...] 09:25:57 JS: I can't think of an xml editor that would support ITS span without supporting the underlying unicode markers that do the same thing... 09:26:41 JS: further - the goal of the markers is to show what the text will look like inline. An xml editor that shows things in child nodes wouldn't do that - so you have to support the underlying inline view. 09:26:51 AB: Have any browsers implemented ITS span? 09:27:03 [nobody knows off the top of their head] 09:27:55 AB: 3 options - 1: we say the I18N community has asked us for this which is why it's there. 2: we remove it (substantive change). 3: we mark it at-risk 09:28:09 JS: An Altova product does support it and they recommend it. 09:28:43 Marcos: why have we chosen this technology over others? 09:29:05 Jere: The people who came up with ITS are smart they are recommending it for a reason. 09:29:33 Jere: Is the problem that Josh describes regarding unicode directional markers the same one that ITS is solving? 09:29:38 JS: Yes. 09:30:15 AB: [highlights relevant section - 3.2] 09:30:37 AB: I'm not concerned about the harmfulness of leaving it in. 09:31:16 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: regarding Anne's comment on ITS, we respond that I18N community requested it, we added it, it's optional. 09:32:22 Marcos: You need to defer to that spec - the algorithm in question is supposed to give you unicode with markers in place and it's not defined how that happens... 09:32:54 Marcin: is it just because of ITS that we are refering to DOM3? 09:33:03 JS: No we use DOM3 no matter what. 09:33:09 Marcos: You still need DOM3. 09:33:45 Marcos: If we got rid of this, it would remove one rule as well for getting text content. The only reason this rule exists is to handle ITS. 09:34:42 [discussion on economic models of software development] 09:36:06 Marcos: My understanding is that the ITS spec slots in the unicode markers at specific locations... 09:36:23 AB: So any user agent that uses ITS has to ... 09:37:09 Benoit: this was already an issue when we talked about it initially... 09:37:40 Marcos: Taking it out doesn't trash the work - it's still the case that you can use any XML technology such as ITS to achieve this. 09:37:55 Jere: If the user agent does not support ITS then they can go on to step 3 and be done with it. 09:38:21 Marcin: If someone implements this and the majority of vendors do not support it, does it get removed from the spec? 09:38:34 JS: It lives forever and nobody uses it. 09:38:56 JS: Most likely 0 user agents will support it. 09:39:24 Marcin: Optionality is an issue - whether you should have optional elements in general. 09:39:37 Marcin: I would suggest to drop it because it would be deprecated from the very beginning. 09:39:48 AB: We understand that the side effect would be back to last call. 09:40:00 AB: Two people are proposing it would be dropped. 09:41:21 Dan: I support the previous proposal saying that it was there because the I18N group requested it. 09:41:29 Dan: And leaving the spec as s. 09:41:38 s/s./is./ 09:41:46 AB: And mark it as a feature-at-risk. 09:42:20 Marcos: would you have to move back to working draft if you drop a feature-at-risk?

10:09:48 Marcos: not it's different from HTML5... 10:10:00 Benoit has joined #wam 10:10:26 Marcos: [e.g.] if you have an image with width 100 pixels or "100 200" the browser will correctly find the first number it hits and display 100. 10:10:50 MS: I think the only thing that needs to be removed is the last statement "a user agent MUST ignore leading and trailing space characters." 10:10:56 JS: Yes. 10:11:23 JS: Yes - it's redundant to step 6 of the documented algorithm so it can be removed. 10:11:36 JS: [hence] This is an editorial comment. 10:11:52 RB: And trailing space is documented in step 7. 10:12:20 AB: So it's an editorial comment.
