elements, etc.
question is: can I publish now? and do we want to discuss tag vs. element?
norbert: element is more correct and you should use it
addison: maybe both in the question?
<fsasaki> felix: sees some arguments from also HTML5 people like Anne van k. for "element", but also mentioning that he (Anne) is confusing the usage as well
Should I use <b> and <i> elements (tags) in my documents?
Should I use the <b> and <i> elements (tags) in my documents?

richard: the polyglot document
describes how to write html5 as xml if you want to serve as
text/html
... follow on the Appendix C in XHTML
... can use xml syntax and this document says how to do that
and still serve as HTML
... but there are many i18n comments
... despite document brevity
... when UTF-16, must include BOM?
UTF-8 is better choice, but BOM has to be used with UTF-16
addison: I would remove the rec
of bom for UTF-8
... but require it for UTF-16
richard: "polyglot markup need
not include meta charset"
... include visible encoding declaration in the document
... because it helps developers
... we would prefer a paragraphs saying that
addison: okay with that
richard: use UTF-8 or UTF-16 with
appropriate BOM
... implies UTF-8 BOM
addison: use encoding declaration
tool at hand for UTF-8
... bom invisible, don't rely on it to carry the
information
... save for utf-16
richard: document says "polyglot markup must ... use utf-8/utf-16 ... or use <meta> or <xml> document declaration
addison: technically correct, but we don't want them to say that
richard: omit list
... they go on to explain it
If polyglot markup uses an encoding other than UTF-8 or UTF-16, it must include the XML declaration; however, in this case the document must also include the HTML meta tag specifying the character set. When polyglot markup uses both the XML declaration and the HTML meta tag, these must specify the same character and coding.
richard: not either/or, we'd
prefer to see xml and meta with utf-8/utf-16 also
... section 7, attributes
... no mention of xml:lang and lang
... should say both should be used
... also set default language in document via html @lang
... <meta> content-language has no use in XML in setting
language
... sections 6.2.2, 6.2.3
Polyglot markup uses lowercase letters for the values of the attributes in the following list when they exist on HTML elements. More specifically, where required, polyglot markup must use lower case letters for all ASCII letters in these attribute values; however, case requirements do not apply to non-ASCII letters such as Greek, Cyrillic, or non-ASCII Latin letters. Attributes for HTML elements other than those in the following list may have values made of m
addison: do they mean "value" of the attribute or just the name of the attribute??
need to clarify
richard: named entity
references
... uses decimal NCR instead of NBSP
... would prefer hex here
norbert: one misspelling as ployglot
<scribe> chair: objections to forwarding?
