11:23:49 not yet
11:26:07 lets see if it works

11:26:50 maybe the instructions are incorrect
11:27:16 not sure if that advice is up to date or not; while the archives are online, it's not toally clear how to interact with the list and URL hacking on the archives yields nothing
11:27:20 all a bit ancient

14:49:20 rubys, I'm somewhat inclined to volunteer to scribe today. it helps me pay attention
14:50:10 Julian has joined #html-wg
14:50:18 excellent
14:50:39 I scribe for the ASF for the same reason
14:50:42 also, it lets me arrange the table of contents in the minutes to be full of technical content words (e.g. button-type-radio) rather than boilerplate (review of open actions)
14:51:38 would it help if I were to announce moving to the next item in the following way: Issue-35/Action-114 aria-processing
14:52:03 Julian, I haven't heard from him. I will contact him and see what's going on. If he doesn't respond, I can probably continue with it myself
14:52:04 yes; better yet: Topic: Issue-35/Action-114 aria-processing
14:52:41 cool. I have my own expanded agenda in Tomboy, and I can copy/paste as we go along
14:52:52 nifty.
14:54:30 part of me wishes Lachlan hadn't asked Shelley to elaborate on her canvas objection; aside from being buried in an irrelevant subject heading, she actually came up with a plausible reason for re-opening the issue: addition of
14:55:45 DanC, I'm sincerely apologise for encouraging the discussion of valid technical issues. It won't happen again.
14:56:00 if she objects to it being a part of the document, and everybody agrees to a normative reference to separate document, and *most importantly* somebody actually does the work, then I'm quite OK with that.
14:57:19 I'm not sure that svg is a substantial piece of new information; the overlap with SVG was debated extensively at the time and it was reasonably clear that they had differnet use cases
14:58:12 correct me if I'm wrong, the previous decision was more about "in scope vs out of scope" than "in the same document vs multiple documents", right?
14:58:16 Lachy, I said "part of me". yes, it's good to focus on technical stuff.
14:58:31 Anne, got a subscription confirmation for iana-charsets
14:58:43 rubys, both aspects were discussed, and yes, they're orthogonal
14:58:49 rubys: IIRC yes. But I was responding to DanC
14:58:53 but they get conflated sometimes
14:59:23 DanC: both were discussed, both get conflated, but what do you view was the primary substance of the decision?
14:59:31 scope
14:59:32 Julian, anne2, did you end up finding out where the archive for iana-charsets is?
14:59:44 same doc vs different doc is just editorial convenience
14:59:48 Lachy, the server was down.
14:59:52 It's up again.
15:00:14 agreed. I'd rather that Shelley didnconflating the issues.
15:00:28 arg...hit enter too soon
15:00:32 DanC, it also affects how it can be progressed
15:00:49 it might or it might not
15:00:58 I'd rather that Shelley didn't conflate the issues, and I'd rather that people didn't respond with a message of "the matter is closed".
15:01:02 if there are normative dependencies both ways, it has no impact on progression.
15:01:21 dbaron has joined #html-wg
15:01:33 DanC, normaive references both ways are bad
15:02:13 DanC, but even then it should be able to progress it separately (but maybe I'm missing something in the W3C standards process)
15:02:29 hmm... the matter _is_ closed; i.e. the WG is decided. discussion of the issue (except for requests to reconsider) is out of order, IMO. Some people don't know the history and can be excused for stumbling on it, but eventually we gotta move on.
15:02:37 DanC, that being said, I wish canvas was truly optional, and no normative reference was needed
15:03:41 DanC: I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word "the" is.
15:04:05 (I think it should be possible to have only one-way references from a 2D canvas context spec to the HTML 5 spec, assuming the 2D context was not required for HTML 5 UAs)
15:04:36 ((I'm assuming the element itself would still be part of HTML 5))
15:04:51 Presumably that wouldn't help canvas progress much faster than HTML5
15:05:43 Philip, I'm unhappy with the fact that the element needs to be in the HTML5 spec to make things work.
15:05:54 Philip, it indicates a broken extensibility model
15:06:18 I think Shelley's argument was that it would allow it to progress slower (in the W3C sense of progress), which would be better, because then progress (in the technical sense) wouldn't be frozen by HTML 5 being in LC
15:06:44 Philip: s/slower/faster/
15:06:53 I guess we could get a spec to REC purely describing the 2D context simply because it is basically interoperable already
15:07:02 people seem to be making better use of the archives lately. I get stressed when people repeat arguments without noting where it's been said before.
15:07:07 But that would never go as it would be inaccessible
15:07:10 rubys: I did mean slower :-)
15:07:21 "The biggest objection [...] is the fact that web graphics is growing at a pace that far exceeds that for web page markup"
15:07:36 "By the time the HTML 5 specification is ready for CR, the 2D API described within the document will most likely be dated, if not irrelevant"
15:07:48 I read what jgraham quoted
15:08:22 I disagree with what she is saying but it seems to be a call to make fater progress not slower
15:08:59 "I thought [...] that the possibility of pulling Canvas into a separate effort might be a way of managing the issue about accessibility in Canvas, without holding up last call, and without rushing the accessibility effort."
15:09:31 i.e. splitting it out would let it go to LC later (i.e. slower progress (in the W3C sense) than HTML5)
15:09:37 without holding up the rest of HTML5
15:10:31 (but faster progress (in the technical sense) because it wouldn't be frozen in LC until 2022 when we start working on HTML6)
15:10:31 Philip: Dunno where that is from. If it's from Shelley again I guess she is not being quite consistent
15:10:37 jgraham: It is
15:10:45 jgraham: I think it's consistent :-)
15:10:49 as defined today could be done already, but accessible canvas could be done later without affecting HTML5
15:11:08 Philip: Has anyone suggested not working on HTML6 untill 2022?
15:12:46 Julian: Presumably accessible canvas could just as easilly be done in HTML6 if people were to agree to that. *Practically* what happens is when implementations get into the hands of users. Whether the spec with canvas accessibility features in is called HTML5, HTML6, Canvas 1.0, Canvas 2.0 or someothing else is irrelevant
15:12:51 jgraham: No, and I presume she doesn't think exactly that, but I presume she presumes that when HTML5 is in LC (and hence shouldn't be adding new features constantly, since it's got to stabilise) it won't be possible to extend until much later
15:13:37 Since the spec will /in practice/ stabilise whenever the implementations converge
15:13:53 s/happens/matters/
15:14:11 hence worrying about accessibility features missing out if LC happens too soon, and canvas being overtaken by other technologies
15:15:19 If I'm presuming right, the concerns could probably be alleviated by being clear that HTML evolution won't stop or slow down just because HTML5 is in LC
15:15:24 Philip: Worrying about canvas being overtaken by other technologies seems silly since it is based on even older, well established, ideas that have not yet been taken over by new technologies
15:15:36 e.g. postscript
15:15:47 (though at the moment I don't think it's clear what the process will be for future HTML evolution)
15:16:28 jgraham: PDF!
15:16:29 Philip: Maybe, but people seem to put a high value on the spec status of things rather than on the practical status
15:17:07 jgraham: As I understand it, Shelley's concerns were about the practical status being constrained by the spec status
15:17:38 Philip: We don't just have to make Shelley happy
15:19:26 Remeber how upset people were about 2022? I imagine the same reaction again if people decided that would not be accessible until 2028 because the spec would not be a Rec. till then
15:20:03 jgraham: don't exaggerate. People are reacting to an estimate that canvas accessibility won't be ready until mid-December... 2009.
15:20:07 Julian: The problem with splitting out entirely is that it interacts in slightly complex ways with other features, e.g. you can pass a canvas ImageData to a worked thread using postMessage
15:20:14 issue-60?
15:20:14 ISSUE-60 -- Reuse of 1999 XHTML namespace is potentially misleading/wrong -- RAISED
15:20:14 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/60
15:20:15 Title: ISSUE-60 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)
15:20:19 didn't we close that one? looking...
15:20:33 Larry wanted to keep it open, then changed his mind.
15:20:40 It's on today's schedule to close.
15:21:05 oops, I'm wrong... rechecking.
15:21:33 Philip, understood; and that's *exactly* the problem; things that should be orthogonal aren't, and the reason is that they are conveniently being defined in the same doc
15:21:42 Julian: and it would presumably be difficult to split everything into acyclically-dependent specs without those interactions becoming a mess
15:21:44 ah... right... Larry and Murray wanted more discussion as of 9 July http://www.w3.org/2009/07/09-html-wg-minutes.html#item04
15:21:45 Title: HTML Weekly Teleconference -- 09 Jul 2009 (at www.w3.org)
15:22:27 rubys: Not sure how I am exagerratin
15:22:30 er
15:23:04 exaggerating. People initially reacted to HTML5 as if it would not be ready until 2022
15:23:29 Julian: That is a problem, but on the other hand it seems bad to constrain language functionality just in order to permit a certain organisation of specs into orthogonal documents
15:23:34 Perahps they have learnt that is not the most reasonable date but it's hard to tell
15:24:31 Julian, I got nothing from iana
15:25:24 s/worked thread/worker thread/ dozens of lines ago
15:27:45 Anne, the mailing list server seems to be owned by Ned Freed, and that's where I got eh conf from.
15:28:24 Philip, depends on the constraint.
15:28:52 didn't work for me
15:28:57 Philip, couldn't a canvas spec define that behavior for postMessage?
15:29:32 half facetious answer: julian, I don't know, why don't you give it a try? :-P
15:31:36 Sam, you know the answer.
15:32:05 gsnedders_ has joined #html-wg
15:32:22 ok. s/don't you/doesn't someone/
15:32:32 Julian, maybe I missed something, but what does postMessage have to do with canvas?
15:32:54 Lachy, ImageData
15:33:08 so you can work on ImageData in a Worker
15:33:20 lachy, see what Philip said earlier: "Julian: The problem with splitting out entirely is that it interacts in slightly complex ways with other features, e.g. you can pass a canvas ImageData to a worked thread using postMessage"
15:34:59 so? You can pass any object using postMessage to a worker thread.
15:35:59 Lachy, ok, so it *is* orthogonal, and could be specified separately
15:36:18 Lachy: Only structured clones, isn't it?
15:36:18 no, you cannot pass any object
15:37:48 anne2, elaborate?
15:39:54 Julian: I expect the canvas spec could (it can just override HTML5's definition of structured cloning), but having the definition split across multiple specs would add some complexity (for implementors working out what to do, for testers working out what it should do, and for spec writers having to be careful not to accidentally introduce contradictions or undefined gaps between all the specs)
15:40:03 Lachy, e.g. Workers do not support the DOM
15:41:31 issue-28?
15:41:31 ISSUE-28 -- Content type rules in HTML 5 overlaps with the HTTP specification? -- RAISED

15:41:32 Title: ISSUE-28 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)
15:41:44 sam, do you know the status/trajectory of barth's draft?
15:41:56 does it live in the http-bis issues list somewhere?
15:42:36 sec-from aka origin?
15:42:46 or content-sniffing?
15:42:48 http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-abarth-mime-sniff-01.txt ?
15:43:04 DanC, http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-abarth-mime-sniff
15:43:09 Title: draft-abarth-mime-sniff-01 - Content-Type Processing Model (at tools.ietf.org)
15:43:13 yes, that document
15:43:15 both are discussed on the HTTPbis mailing list, but they aren't deliverables of the WG
15:43:28 I'm wondering how to track the dependency from HTML 5 to that document
15:43:35 and thus do not use our issues list
15:44:17 define "track"
15:44:40 what's the diff in purpose between the www.ietf and tools.ietf domains?
15:45:25 maciej suggests closing issue-28 because the text has been moved to [MIMESNIFF]. But that doesn't address the technical overlap with HTTP until the HTTP WG gives it an OK
15:45:50 what's the next action to be taken?
15:46:34 DanC, there's http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/HTML5_spin-offs
15:46:35 The HTTP WG can and will not "ok" it, because it's not on our charter
15:46:38 Title: HTML5 spin-offs - WHATWG Wiki (at wiki.whatwg.org)
15:46:44 But you probably want to know something else...
15:47:36 Does this: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/155 help?
15:47:38 Title: #155 (Content Sniffing) – httpbis (at trac.tools.ietf.org)

15:51:30 Title: Changeset 663 – httpbis (at trac.tools.ietf.org)
15:51:35 good morning
15:52:19 From an HTT point of view all we really changed was to say that there's no default type (when Content-Type is missing)
15:52:27 issue-28: note http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/155
15:52:27 ISSUE-28 Content type rules in HTML 5 overlaps with the HTTP specification? notes added
15:52:28 Title: #155 (Content Sniffing) – httpbis (at trac.tools.ietf.org)
15:52:38 We did not change anything about Content-Type defining the type of the payload
15:54:17 though it was made clear that applications do not have to follow the mapping if they so desire
15:54:23 at least via email
15:55:09 The HTTP spec states what the intent of the header is; it doesn't say anything about what a recipient has to do with it.
15:55:23 invite rrsagent
15:56:22 Trying to say more lead to disagreement in the WG, thus one informative statement was backed out again
15:56:25 MikeSmith has joined #html-wg
15:56:39 DanC, Julian: I would suggest that whatever the IETF plans to do with the MIMESNIFF draft, it's no longer the HTML WG's issue
15:57:05 well, as I said in email, since HTML 5 cites MIMESNIFF normatively, it's still part of HTML 5
15:57:13 (just said in email)
15:57:26 Maciej, as far as I can tell, the IETF doesn't have any plans.
15:57:37 i.e. HTML 5 isn't done until MIMESNIFF is done
15:58:05 Maciej, it's currently an individual submission, and the author will have to find a way to get it published, either through the RFC-Editor or the IESG.
15:58:17 that will block last call?

15:58:58 agenda+ raised (and nominated for closure)
15:59:13 agenda+ poll
15:59:27 shifting some text from one document to another doesn't address the technical issue
