Report

Charlie: Let's get feedback, and I will produce a release candidate this week

Jack: One week in the XG, what happens then?

Charle: The phone bridge, and IPR expire
... other XGs have published in their charter period

[Discussion of TPAC]

Charlie: If we emphasise in the patterns part of the paper, the role of the different markups
... surface them as a formats issue

<John_Boyer> Minor edit: last paragraph of intro, "XML-based architectures" should probably be "XML-based markup formats"

Charlie: ... these are not abstract patterns but use cases

Steven: May be more grounded for the planned readership

John: The W3C seems to want to describe the web as what current browsers do, so the scripting bit is importnant

Charlie: I wonder if we should make the point more strongly that scripting is not yet fully interoperable
... we don't yet have a technical direction
... there, but we might want to emphasise the point

John: There are two ways of decorating a page, one with javascript, the other is to inject more DOM nodes

Charlie: We do both

John: People who care about strict conformance, will start looking at runtime DOMs
... in Dojo you can inject elements, that cause more Dojo elements to be inserted, so that the DOM is no longer 'valid'
... some people care about that

Charlie: Standardisation may be necessary on the lifecycle of the document
... and how the DOMs get extended
... we shouldn't care *what* does it
... I use Dojo in 4.2 as an example

John: Another candidate example, is focusin vs DOMfocusin
... in Ubiquity we produce web-based input elements from the Forms input element
... but what has the focus?
... is there only one DOM?

Charlie: The issue arises in Dojo too

<John_Boyer> there's the source document that I think about when authoring the app, so I want to write event handlers, e.g. DOMFocusIn, relative to xf:input, but an xf:input gets decorated with a web input, which receives the "focusin"

<John_Boyer> so two things have the focus, technically

Steven: I think the issue is the same as in compilation

as long as you get the right user experience according to the input code, all is fine

Charlie: Would you like to add to section 4.7 on Standardisation?

Steven: If there were a WG, that would be what it did. Do you want more sketched out?

<wiecha> http://www.amplesdk.com/reference/#/ample/overview/lifetime.xml

Charlie: We could abstract from the example given in the link
... I will push on other parts of section 4
... Jack, John, any bits you want to own?
... SMIL?

Jack: Which should I write?

Charlie: 5.5.1

Jack: I'll look through it

Charlie: I'm working on the diagrams

Steven: I can help if you send me some sketches
