on the phone, Vlad, Håkon, Erik

Håkon; the normative part of the spec should mention that the notes are non-normative

discussion on normative / non-normative and other W3 specs

Vlad: mixing up normative / non-normative is messy
... not enough participants to decide anythign.

Håkon: can't accept notes to become normative (did I get that right?)

Håkon: in CSS "notes are informative, not normative"

Vlad: concern that the spec becomes fragmented
... if notes are non-normative, can the language be a bit more clear cut?

Håkon: best to avoid MUST in non-normative

using normative language in non-normative notes can open arguments and raise confusion

Vlad, Håkon, I lost connection and can't follow the discussion

Dialing in, but zakim does not answer.

gentlemen?

No answer when I dial in. Can I be excused of my scribe duties?

<howcome> The WOFF-packaged data will typically be decoded to its original sfnt format for use by existing font-rendering APIs that expect OpenType font data, but such a decoded font should not be exposed to other documents or applications.

That sounds reasonable.

<Vlad> Agreement to add a normative sentence that says that notes are non-normative

<Vlad> The notes should be coherent with the normative text and should not be ambiguous

<Vlad> The notes should help the implementors and users to undertstand the meaning of the normative text, and should not make any confcliting or ambiguous statements

<Vlad> Agreement to rewrite the first note to make it coherent with the normative text

<Vlad> We will continue this discussion on the email list

<Vlad> The call is adjourn, we will continue the discussions on the email list
