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 15:41:31 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/28 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) 15:48:23 Sam, the versions on tools.ietf.org are more readable, have diffs and metadata 15:49:10 ticket 155 is marked fixed...

I've been looking more at accessibility of audio/video, but perhaps we should bump up the priority of canvas accessibility 16:31:01 mjs: what would help most in particular? 16:31:21 Rich: I'm interested to talk to developers of canvas applications 16:31:31 Doug: perhaps the bespin developers? 16:31:58 ... things like processing.js that are just images aren't as relevant as something like bespin 16:32:20 There are always 'tour-de-force' demonstrations (like writing an editor in Canvas), but we should probably focus on 'reasonable' uses 16:32:36 Cynthia: we'd also like help from somebody that knows the apple accessibility APIs 16:32:39 Perhaps canvas graphing libraries are interesting 16:33:25 (Canvas gGames presumably aren't interesting, because they're usually inherently visual and can't be non-visually accessible) 16:33:31 s/gGames/games/ 16:33:31 Doug: are there limits to our expectations on canvas accessibility? e.g. a shoot-em-up-game 16:33:52 ack next 16:34:23 ack next 16:34:36 Cynthia: yes, a review of the use cases to consider practical limitations makes sense 16:34:43 (Cannot get into telcon, is full) At PF Task Force we agreed to examine the canvas examples on Laura's wiki page and note down use cases. Bespin probably could have a shadow fallback DOM with paragraphs, list items, code, and buttons.

[not sure I scribed that right] 16:38:31 I don't support the process of breaking off into a separate group either. 16:39:11 dsinger: there are also governance issues... would the TF be advisory? it couldn't make binding decisions because it's not the actual WG 16:39:27 @rubys I understand now, sorry 16:39:27 masinter: Huh? 16:39:50 dsinger: I'm frustrated that process keeps coming up to the exclusion of progress on the technical issues 16:40:01 ack next 16:40:04 MC: [missed; help?] 16:40:06 q+ to discuss keeping AT TF on HTML WG mailing list. 16:40:15 @jgraham, speed is an issue as canvas is faster than SVG, also convenience: canvas / JavaScript is made for human developers, SVG / XML is output from machines. But keeping objects for re-use in the DOM as a memory could be an argument for developers, enhancing accessibility at the same time. 16:40:16 kliehm: Huh? 16:41:30 Zakim, mute Mike 16:41:30 sorry, MikeSmith, I do not know which phone connection belongs to Mike 16:41:32 mjs: I think it's fine for people to get together and hash out proposals before bringing them to the HTML WG is fine, but HTML WG decisions need to get a healthy amount of discussion in public-html... 16:41:40 ack next 16:41:41 msporny_, you wanted to discuss keeping AT TF on HTML WG mailing list. 16:42:02 q+ to say I expect it would be ok to use the HTML list as the task force list 16:42:14 ... also, it's not good to spend _too_ much time baking proposals, because that can [raise social issues] too 16:42:42 ack next 16:43:01 manu: I think it's fine to use the public-html mailing list [I think I missed the gist of his point] 16:43:37 q+ to discuss expertise not being valued (RDFa experience) 16:43:56 q+ to admit he's thinking of something similar... 16:44:04 Cynthia: with some hesitation, I feel obliged to bring up culture differences. I've been contacted by people who have posted to public-html and the response seemed like a flame 16:44:09 ack next 16:44:10 MichaelC, you wanted to say I expect it would be ok to use the HTML list as the task force list 16:44:22 q+ tasks forces are a well-known way of getting focus on particular topics. 16:44:47 ack next 16:44:48 msporny_, you wanted to discuss expertise not being valued (RDFa experience) 16:44:51 q? 16:45:21 MC: xtech was our original proposal so as not to deluge public-html, but perhaps public-html would work... I could discuss that with concerned parties 16:45:36 ... there's also a question of which tracker to use 16:45:44 ack next 16:45:45 dsinger, you wanted to admit he's thinking of something similar... 16:46:07 adele has joined #html-wg 16:46:16 q+ 16:46:20 I have discussed with a few people having an informal get-together to talk over issues, ideas, and experiments for audio/video accessibility. We will probably try to organize this before the TPAC, so ideas that come up can be brought back to the tech. meetings. 16:46:24 Manu: my experience is that when we engaged the HTML WG directly, that's when the bulk of the useful feedback came. So while I'm sympathetic to the flaming concerns, I don't think that [should be the overriding factor?] 16:47:11 next agendum 16:47:16 ack next 16:47:23 So, I am not opposed to smaller groups getting together to discuss ideas - I am in favor! 16:47:37 dsinger: I'm hesitant about formalizing a task force, though I'm fine with small groups getting together to make proposals; I'm engaged in doing that myself with video/audio accessibility 16:47:54 I think on canvas accessibility and video accessibility, technical discussion of the issues will be much more productive 16:47:59 next agendum 16:48:10 and posting on public-html will be a great way to recruit technical help 16:48:12 Topic: Action-34 authoring-guide 16:48:50 action-34 is not related to any of my actions 16:49:16 DanC: I'm inclined to close/withdraw 16:49:21 Topic: Action-106 test-suite-coordination 16:49:22 close ACTION-34 16:49:22 ACTION-34 Prepare "Web Developer's Guide to HTML5" for publication in some way, as discussed on 2007-11-28 phone conference closed 16:49:43 action-106? 16:49:43 ACTION-106 -- Dan Connolly to work out with co-chair and staff how to spark test suite coordination next week -- due 2009-06-30 -- PENDINGREVIEW 16:49:43 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/106 16:49:45 Title: ACTION-106 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org) 16:50:29 DanC: I 16:50:38 DanC: I'm ambivalent about keeping test suite stuff in the tracker 16:51:31 ACTION: Doug look at ways to integrate test from browsers into a WG test suite 16:51:31 Created ACTION-134 - Look at ways to integrate test from browsers into a WG test suite [on Doug Schepers - due 2009-08-20]. 16:51:36 action-134 due 15 Sep 16:51:36 ACTION-134 Look at ways to integrate test from browsers into a WG test suite due date now 15 Sep 16:51:39 close action-106 16:51:39 ACTION-106 Work out with co-chair and staff how to spark test suite coordination next week closed 16:51:52 Topic: Action-115 TPAC-participants-signup 16:52:13 Sam: I'm willing to make an announcement about TPAC registration 16:52:27 Topic: Issue-4/Action-129 html-versioning 16:52:58 close action-129 16:52:58 ACTION-129 insure that the versioning discussion at least touches on XHTML 2 interactions with the /1999/xhtml namespace closed 16:52:59 action-129? 16:52:59 ACTION-129 -- Larry Masinter to insure that the versioning discussion at least touches on XHTML 2 interactions with the /1999/xhtml namespace -- due 2009-08-13 -- CLOSED 16:52:59 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/129 16:53:00 Title: ACTION-129 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org) 16:53:32 next agendum 16:53:32 cyns has joined #html-wg 16:53:37 Chris_Wilson has joined #html-wg 16:54:21 +1 a summary of why to close for each issue, please 16:54:33 mjs: I think there's cruft in the issue tracker... 16:54:53 +1 for cruft in the issue tracker, and support Maciej's efforts to close items. 16:55:31 notes that if we make a mistake, it's not exactly hard to create issues etc. 16:56:06 so as long as we close 'without prejudice' i.e. allowing people to re-open without lots of justification, we're fine 16:56:15 q+ 16:56:47 Is there a way of insuring that the people who raised the issue in the first place have had a chance to respond to closing it? 16:57:17 perhaps the name of the raiser could be indicated on each issue, in the email? 16:57:39 I can Cc the originators 16:57:44 e.g. issue-314159 (raised by Mordred) should the HTML WG kill orcs? 16:57:53 [discussion of mechanics] 16:58:15 next agendum 16:58:20 ack next 16:58:39 Sam: ok, so a separate message for each message to public-html, copied to the originator and a summary on the announce list 16:58:39 next agendum 16:58:56 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/wd08/ 16:59:09 Sam: reminder, the poll is ongoing 16:59:47 Sam and I work that out every week. 16:59:53 Neither of us are oof. 16:59:55 -mjs 16:59:56 - +1.415.832.aabb 16:59:56 -billyjackass 16:59:58 -smedero 16:59:58 -Matt_May 16:59:59 -DanC 17:00:00 -Sam 17:00:01 -Cooper 17:00:02 -msporny_ 17:00:04 -Adrian 17:00:06 -Chris_Wilson 17:00:08 -[Apple] 17:00:10 -Cynthia_Shelly 17:00:12 -Julian 17:00:14 -Shepazu 17:00:18 -Rich 17:00:20 HTML_WG()12:00PM has ended 17:00:22 Attendees were Rich, DanC, Sam, Shepazu, Julian, msporny_, Cynthia_Shelly, MikeSmith, dsinger, Cooper, Matt_May, +1.206.922.aaaa, Adrian, johndrinkwater, mjs, +1.415.832.aabb, 17:00:25 ...

is a fine example too 19:00:49 rubys: otherwise, I think your summary is accurate 19:01:13 rubys: what you summarize as what Maciej said is pretty similar to my ideas from March 2008: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/aria-html5-bis/ 19:01:14 Title: ARIA in HTML5 Integration: Document Conformance (Draft, Take Two) (at hsivonen.iki.fi) 19:01:14 I actually like

as it is clearer. I did make reference to the type attribute later 19:01:42 rubys: thank you for arranging things so people could actually talk - I feel that ~15 minutes of telecon time was more valuable than all the back and forth on this so far 19:02:03 hsivonen: I hadn't seen that before. 19:02:19 I'm happy to see ARIA going in the direction of taking host language semantics into account. 19:02:53 rubys: note that that blog post of mine talks only about conformance, because I deferred to Aaron Leventhal on UA implementation req point of view. 19:03:04 mjs: and thank you for actually attending. I didn't understand the issue until I heard both "sides" together. 19:03:32 I think my feedback was pretty similar to what hsivonen and Hixie have said in the past, but perhaps some combination of the telecon format and my framing helped understanding 19:08:52 hsivonen: off the top of your head, can you think of specs that were split out of HTML5 by someone other than Hixie?

19:12:04 Title: Web DOM Core (at simon.html5.org) 19:12:52 is Simon going to propose that to Web Apps WG at some point? 19:36:23 webben has joined #html-wg 19:55:17 mjs, he did, but wanted someone else to be editor 19:58:32 mjs has joined #html-wg 19:58:38 OK I want anolis to read input from stdin, write to stdout or to read from a file and write to a file or some combination of the two (e.g. read from stdin write to a file) 19:58:51 What's the best command line syntax to use? 19:59:19 cat file > anolis - output.html 19:59:27 maybe? 19:59:37 richardschwerdtfe has left #html-wg 19:59:46 I don't really like that and optparse might not either 20:00:15 jgraham: fail 20:00:21 I assume you mean s/>/|/ 20:00:41 cat file | anolis -stdin output.html maybe? 20:00:46 Philip: yes 20:01:23 Seems kinda verbose 20:01:42 cat file | anolis -o output.html 20:01:43 It'd be easier (and more like typical Unix tools, I think) if you didn't allow a combinaion, i.e. if you only allowed "anolis input output" and "cat input | anolis > output" 20:02:21 I guess that would work 20:02:27 Otherwise it's easy to get mixed up and accidentally overwrite the sole copy of your un-backed-up input file 20:04:41 (though fortunately someone on the internet a year ago suggested twisting the laptop when turning it on, which solved the problem so now I can copy everything to an external disk) 20:05:49 aroben has joined #html-wg 20:11:24 How does one twist a laptop? 20:16:19 jgraham: The same as one would twist any other approximation of a quadrilateral 20:16:54 (It helps that it's made of plastic rather than metal, and is therefore quite bendy) 20:20:53 http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/html5.htm# 20:20:55 Title: Windows Internet Explorer Testing Center (at samples.msdn.microsoft.com) 20:21:11 has anybody here seen this before? 20:21:20 yep 20:21:33 thoughts? good, bad, indifferent? 20:21:33 I think it is noted on a wiki or an issue somewhere as well. 20:21:58 well DanC and I looked at it because if you look at the source 20:21:59 http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/HTML5/DOMStorage/localStorage.htm 20:22:00 Title: HTML 5 Test Suite: localStorage object (at samples.msdn.microsoft.com) 20:22:13 there is stuff like 20:22:14 20:22:52 and we wondered if there was a way to automate match a test to a spec section 20:23:21 http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Testsuite links to them 20:23:23 Title: Testsuite - WHATWG Wiki (at wiki.whatwg.org) 20:24:19 http://philip.html5.org/tests/canvas/suite/tests/spec.html automates matching tests to spec sentences 20:24:20 Title: HTML 5 (at philip.html5.org) 20:24:47 Oooh 20:25:14 at some point in the future I'd like to pick your brain then. 20:25:28 non-invasively 20:26:10 rubys: At least for their DOM Storage tests, they're far less comprehensive than is needed 20:26:30 (They seem reasonable at testing the basic functionality is supported, though) 20:27:49 (but there's all sorts of other stuff that ought to be tested, like what happens when you store \u0000 or \ud800 (which caused IE8 betas to make their storage XML files ill-formed)) 20:28:33 smedero: I believe it was 20:28:34 I'm trying to convince the authors of those tests to join IRC... hopefully it will happen at some point. 20:28:55 (though I don't remember what the fix was) 20:29:25 (It might have just ignored ill-formed strings instead of storing them in the XML, or something, which is non-conforming but less severely broken) 20:30:22 aroben has joined #html-wg 20:30:23 I started trying to write some storage tests myself last year, but it was hard and I got bored so I never got very far 20:32:04 smedero: My spec-sentence-matching thing basically involves copying sentences into http://philip.html5.org/tests/canvas/suite/spec.yaml with some special markers, then referencing them from tests, and then some code links everything up (and complains if the spec changed so the sentences don't match any more) 20:33:49 aroben has joined #html-wg 20:35:24 (Fortunately Hixie is lazy and doesn't change the text unnecessarily, so mostly the matches are quite stable) 20:36:13 thanks for sharing that 20:40:14 Feel free to ask for more brain pickings if you wish 21:23:34 adele has joined #html-wg 21:51:19 changes: hixie: Note that pushState() doesn't imply onhashchange.
