- plinss: Most tests didn't change between, so I have a script that's grandfathering RC1 results that are still valid.
- 16:07:34 [TabAtkins_]
- glazou: Any idea of the number of tests passed by two impls?
- 16:07:42 [TabAtkins_]
- plinss: No idea until I finish combining all of the IRs.

- ScribeNick: fantasai
- 16:08:59 [fantasai]
- arronei: I updated maybe 100 cases or so
- 16:09:00 [sylvaing]
- arronei: a large set of updates came in; about 100 cases
- 16:09:12 [fantasai]
- arronei: Now we have a lot of feedback from IR coming in
- 16:09:20 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I reported 494 tests as invalid
- 16:09:34 [fantasai]
- arronei: Not all of those are actually invalid. I have feedback on why they're not invalid
- 16:09:45 [fantasai]
- arronei: But I'll send that feedback in as a group in a bit
- 16:09:50 [fantasai]
- dbaron: 496
- 16:10:01 [fantasai]
- glazou: So let's wait for Peter's results and arronei's updates
- 16:10:17 [fantasai]
- arronei: I'm concerned about other updates, from boris and gerard and fantasai. No idea how those are tracking
- 16:10:27 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Do we have a mechanism for tracking which errors are in which tests?
- 16:10:31 [fantasai]
- arronei: that's kinda tricky
- 16:10:37 [dbaron]
- s/are in which tests/are in whose tests/
- 16:10:50 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: We do have a list that maps filenames to their location in the source tree.
- 16:10:58 [oyvind]
- http://wiki.csswg.org/test/css2.1/issues has some sort of grouping
- 16:11:01 [fantasai]
- http://test.csswg.org/source/filename-list
- 16:11:22 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: That should show who is responsible for the tests.
- 16:11:55 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: If it's in "approved", it's us as the WG's responsibility to maintain the tests. If it's in a contributor's directory, we can find out who's responsible.
- 16:12:12 [fantasai]
- dbaron: The other thing is, when arron has responses, I'm probably going to have responses to his responses. So it's better to send them out sooner
- 16:12:24 [fantasai]
- arronei: Well, there's a lot of duplicates. So I'm trying to group those together as much as possible.
- 16:12:50 [fantasai]
- arronei: That's part of the reason I want to publish on Friday. Even if I'm not done with everything, at least I get all the edits in asap
- 16:13:12 [fantasai]
- arronei: I think it's better to get releases out faster, even if not all edits are in. We'll have smaller updates instead of larger ones.
- 16:13:47 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: If I don't have to actually fix tests before I publish (because I don't know how long it'll take to finish mine), publishing takes a couple of hours, so it's deifnitely something we can do on Friday.
- 16:14:00 [TabAtkins_]
- fantasai: If we do the publish with the understanding that some errors will still be standing in the test suite.
- 16:14:21 [fantasai]
- arronei: How about we talk on Friday and see where we are, then either publish Friday or next Tuesday

- 16:14:35 [fantasai]
- zakim, unmute jdaggett
- 16:14:35 [Zakim]
- jdaggett should no longer be muted
- 16:14:38 [glazou]

- 16:15:02 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: There are a number of places where the spec has changed significantly, e.g. the table of bolder/lighter mappings
- 16:15:07 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: And that information is not public.
- 16:15:20 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: I wanted to know if we can take whatever edits we have so far and make a publication of that?
- 16:15:34 [fantasai]
- Bert: We'll have a last call in 2 weeks, after TPAC. Why can't we wait a little bit more?
- 16:15:51 [ChrisL]
- zakim, unmute me
- 16:15:51 [Zakim]
- ChrisL should no longer be muted
- 16:16:12 [fantasai]
- Bert: All the edits we have so far will be done by TPAC, so just after TPAC. If we decide on more edits at TPAC, then it will take longer
- 16:16:20 [ChrisL]
- there is a lot of time in 'after'. 'soon after' is better
- 16:16:20 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: It's hard to have discussions about things that are not in the public spec
- 16:16:41 [fantasai]
- dbaron: I had to tell gtalbot that a test in the test suite was invalid because of edits that I could not describe because they were not anywhere public
- 16:17:24 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: Why don't we say whatever edits we have in before TPAC, we try to put those out a few days after TPAC ends, and any extra edits will be dealt with later.
- 16:17:34 [fantasai]
- Bert: It's possible. It takes a bit of time to publish.
- 16:17:49 [fantasai]
- Bert: There's one other thing I don't like about that is that if we publish, it will be a normal WD, not even an LCWD.
- 16:17:58 [fantasai]
- Bert: It's a bad signal to give to people wrt stability of the spec.
- 16:18:15 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: But if we very quickly follow that with an LCWD, how is that different?
- 16:18:42 [fantasai]
- glazou: Bert has a point. If we go back to normal WD, since we always said that we are almost ready to move along the REC track, it's a very bad signal.
- 16:18:57 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Can we have the editor's draft public? Which would solve this problem?
- 16:19:12 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: Yes, all the CSS3 drafts are publicly accessible, so that makes sense.
- 16:19:21 [dsinger]
- dsinger has joined #css
- 16:19:24 [fantasai]
- Bert: well, all the errata are public. Everything that has been edited is public.
- 16:19:49 [fantasai]
- TabAtkins_: It's much much harder to diff the public CSS2.1 with the errata than it is to look at the edited draft.
- 16:19:51 [ChrisL]
- CSS WG is supposed to work in public. CSS2.1 not being in public is a problem; at least its a short-lived problem.
- 16:20:01 [fantasai]
- dbaron: The errata don't always have the exact text.
- 16:20:12 [fantasai]
- glazou: Seems like everyone wants to have an updated public draft.
- 16:20:13 [ChrisL]
- concur
- 16:20:22 [fantasai]
- glazou: Is there consensus to make the editor's draft public?
- 16:20:33 [fantasai]
- glazou: Ok, let's do the edits into an editor's draft and make it public asap
- 16:20:52 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: Publish CSS2.1 editor's draft publicly ASAP

- TabAtkins_: There was one particular question on the previous wording, so this is an update on the previous proposal
- 16:26:56 [fantasai]
- glazou: so let's give a week to review this proposal
- 16:27:04 [glazou]
- http://www.w3.org/mid/20101016195038.GA17927@pickering.dbaron.org
- 16:27:25 [fantasai]
- glazou: Last question is, should overflow apply to inline table elements?
- 16:27:47 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Yeah, there was a test in the test suite, it semed odd to apply to inline-table but not table
- 16:27:53 [fantasai]
- Bert: Looks like an editing error
- 16:28:22 [fantasai]
- RESOLVED: overflow applies to inline-table just like tables

- q+ to talk about fx taskforce (joint css svg) on Thursday
- 16:28:44 [fantasai]
- glazou: Request from Janina to have a joint meeting to talk about accessibility
- 16:29:08 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: We also discussed having an FX taskforce meeting.
- 16:29:22 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: Turns out some people are arriving on Wed afternoon. So better to have it on Thursday
- 16:29:29 [fantasai]
- sounds ok
- 16:29:39 [fantasai]
- glazou will be away
- 16:29:51 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Can we do it in the part of Thursday that doesn't overlap the AC meeting?
- 16:29:55 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: Of course.
- 16:29:56 [ChrisL]
- so thursday, not overlapping ac meeting.
- 16:30:13 [fantasai]
- glazou: Let me give you a short report in France right now.
- 16:30:23 [fantasai]
- glazou: Big big strikes
- 16:30:41 [fantasai]
- glazou: I strongly recommend taking the train straight from CDG, not trying to go to the city
- 16:30:49 [fantasai]
- glazou: Taxis may run out of fuel
- 16:30:54 [fantasai]
- glazou: my own car is running out of fuel
- 16:31:01 [fantasai]
- glazou: Some riots in Lyon, hopefully over by then
- 16:31:14 [fantasai]
- glazou: This morning I checked all the arrivals from the US and India, no problem at all
- 16:31:23 [fantasai]
- glazou: The trains were running normally, at least from Paris to Lyon
- 16:31:25 [smfr]
- bring a donkey and cart
- 16:31:35 [fantasai]
- glazou: I'm going to send reports to csswg mailing list when I have more information as we get closer to TPAC
- 16:32:30 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Do we have a joint meeting scheduled with i18n?
- 16:32:31 [fantasai]
- glazou: yes
- 16:32:46 [fantasai]
- http://wiki.csswg.org/planning/tpac-2010
- 16:33:17 [fantasai]
- glazou: We should start prioritizing our work for CSS3
- 16:33:49 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: Are we moving css3-background to CR?
- 16:34:02 [fantasai]
- fantasai: yes, working on LC DoC this week
- 16:34:08 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: MS would like to discuss layout topics
- 16:34:25 [fantasai]
- dbaron: Conditional on how much time I have to look at stuff before TPAC, might want to discuss CSS3 Values
- 16:35:05 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: dbaron, we also had some discussions about what happens to the test suite and the spec after CSS2.1 goes to REC
- 16:35:24 [fantasai]
- glazou: Anything else?
- 16:35:41 [fantasai]
- glazou: If you have any extra agenda items, either send to csswg mailing list or add to wiki or both
- 16:35:47 [fantasai]
- Topic: @font-face
- 16:35:49 [glazou]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0161.html
- 16:36:25 [fantasai]
- Beth: So, I think unfortunately we have not come up with any syntax that makes sense, but after thinking it over, if we think it's a real problem
- 16:36:37 [fantasai]
- Beth: which I think we do, given the bug reports that have come in,
- 16:36:48 [fantasai]
- Bether: We think there should be a way for authors to say what they would want to happen
- 16:36:49 [ChrisL]
- having a descriptor puts all the capability with the author. a property would allow author control and user preference override
- 16:36:52 [ChrisL]
- q+
- 16:37:14 [fantasai]
- Beth: A user preference also makes sense. Some users will hate the flash of unstyled content, and others will hate not seeing text
- 16:37:19 [fantasai]
- Beth: I don't have any concrete suggestions
- 16:37:42 [fantasai]
- glazou: Just to summarize, it's a fallback mechanism to say what happens if the font has not downloaded yet
- 16:37:52 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: WebKit shows no content until the font loads
- 16:38:01 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: Mozilla renders with the fallback font until the font loads
- 16:38:07 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: Our current thinking is to put a timeout
- 16:38:24 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: Initially you don't show anything, but after a certain time, you fall back to the fallback font
- 16:38:28 [howcome]
- Opera has a user-setable timeout
- 16:38:32 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: The question is what's the right timeout
- 16:38:41 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: And in some cases this may cause a worse situation
- 16:38:45 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: you get two flashes
- 16:39:02 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: It's a tradeoff between readability and usability and not having these flashes
- 16:39:09 [ChrisL]
- q?
- 16:39:21 [fantasai]
- glazou: howcome says they have a user-setable timeout
- 16:39:29 [ChrisL]
- zakim, unmute me
- 16:39:29 [Zakim]
- ChrisL was not muted, ChrisL
- 16:39:31 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: My thought was to put it in a user-controllable setting
- 16:39:40 [howcome]
- Indeed, it's a tradeoff. Complex equation with many variables.
- 16:39:45 [fantasai]
- Beth: We would prefer an author control
- 16:40:01 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: The problem is that the suggestion was a descriptor, which isn't author-overrideable
- 16:40:27 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: There were two parts suggestion: you could say whether you wanted a blank or a fallback, and you could also set a timeout
- 16:40:40 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: You could get fallback immediately by setting a zero timeout.
- 16:41:00 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: The one thing about a property is that it doesn't make sense as something in the cascade.
- 16:41:27 [fantasai]
- fantasai: Cascading it makes sense. Per-element doesn't make sense
- 16:41:31 [fantasai]
- ?: could set it on the root
- 16:41:38 [TabAtkins_]
- s/?/TabAtkins
- 16:42:28 [fantasai]
- sylvain: I think it's weird to have that as a property
- 16:42:30 [ChrisL]
- or you have a fast network, but are in Australia
- 16:42:45 [fantasai]
- fantasai: The appropriate timeout will depend on the network
- 16:42:53 [ChrisL]
- zakim, mute me
- 16:42:53 [Zakim]
- ChrisL should now be muted
- 16:42:57 [fantasai]
- fantasai: You'd want immediate fallback if you're on dialup
- 16:43:18 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: It seems we don't have the implementation experience to design a property right now
- 16:43:30 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: Do we need a property? Why not a UA setting?
- 16:43:39 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: I don't think we've proved that we need a property instead of a UA setting.

- jdaggett: You could make a rule that you have a timeout, but it's influenced whether there's any network activity happening at all
- 16:44:11 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: if there's no reply to your font download request, no packets, then you fallback immediately
- 16:44:12 [howcome]
- I support Sylvain (on this :)
- 16:44:19 [fantasai]

- jdaggett: I think it makes sense to discuss this in the spec, but I'm not sure that it should be an author-controlled property
- 16:45:03 [fantasai]
- Beth: I think we would still like an author-controlled property, but I recognize it's an odd thing
- 16:45:16 [fantasai]
- Beth: We think that a user-controlled property isn't going to solve the problem for most users
- 16:45:29 [fantasai]
- ...
- 16:45:54 [fantasai]
- Beth: I can see the author wanting to note that this font is critical to the page, but this other one is a nice-to-have
- 16:46:04 [dsinger_]
- Maybe a 'temporary substitute' font indication from the source?
- 16:46:18 [fantasai]

- jdaggett: might be a good idea independent of this issue

- S/even tfor/event for/
- 16:47:24 [fantasai]
- ChrisL: drawing with canvas is tricky, since you currently don't know when the font is there
- 16:47:38 [fantasai]
- glazou: You also need an event to know the font is not loaded, could not be loaded
- 16:47:48 [fantasai]
- or UA is waiting
- 16:47:55 [fantasai]
- smfr: we have the same problem for images
- 16:48:07 [fantasai]
- glazou: I think the two approaches are really interesting.
- 16:48:12 [fantasai]

- and that people think it will be approved by the CSSWG
- 16:52:17 [glazou]
- aaah :)
- 16:52:35 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: We shouldn't be representing these as anything that is stable or approved by the CSSWG
- 16:52:46 [howcome]
- I share John's concerns on this.
- 16:52:55 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: People are going off and implementing this with the idea that this is going to work into the later stage
- 16:53:10 [fantasai]
- fantasai: So what do you want me to do?
- 16:53:59 [howcome]
- I suggest removing that part of the spec for now, or add the other credible proposals as well and ask for feedback
- 16:54:20 [fantasai]
- jdaggett: These have a lot of side effects on all properties, and there is not enough detail in the spec about these interactions
- 16:54:34 [fantasai]
- fantasai: I AM NOT DONE DRAFTING THIS YET.
- 16:54:50 [fantasai]
- fantasai: obviously there are not enough details!

- jdaggett: the notes from the EPUB discussion
- 16:56:18 [fantasai]
- Topic: multicol
- 16:56:45 [fantasai]
- glazou: Discussion that if the columns are taller than the viewport, it is very awkward to read
- 16:56:45 [kojiishi]
- notes from EPUB was updated since then
- 16:57:22 [fantasai]
- glazou: The first proposal is to have a note saying that giving a higher height than the viewport to a multicol element provides accessibility/usability issues
- 16:57:46 [fantasai]
- glazou: The second one is to add another control to have more control over the height of the multicol element
- 16:57:53 [ChrisL]
- it would be nice to fix that for tables too
- 16:58:18 [fantasai]
- sylvaing: We have the same issue with tables
- 16:58:34 [fantasai]
- glazou: I would suggest a note, I will send to the mailing list, to make it clear
