We can agree to start again in September if August looks like a wash. 14:07:03 Topic: TPAC 14:07:26 -> http://www.w3.org/2011/11/TPAC/ 14:07:33 -> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35125/TPAC2011/ 14:07:41 Topic: Progress on XML processor profiles 14:07:56 Norm: Thank you Henry for the new draft. 14:08:41 http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/xml-proc-profiles.html 14:09:12 ACTION: Norm to update the comments list and propose an action plan to make progress 14:09:55 Norm: That will require considering the proposals we've discussed for more radical change in the direction of browser compatibility as well as detailed comments from cmsmcq and others. 14:10:46 Henry: I think it would be useful to discuss what we might do wrt to the browser question. 14:11:59 Norm: I think we need the bottom level of conformance to be what browsers do. 14:12:54 Henry: I don't have a problem with that, and then lobbying to get HTML5 to reference it. I think the chances they will are small. 14:13:05 ...I don't think we should jettison several of the other profiles to make space for that one. 14:13:27 ...The bottom line is that there are an enormous number of XML applications out there that have nothing to do with HTML and do stand to benefit from making use of this spec. And they're more likely to do so. 14:14:37 Norm: I think there was also concern about the word "recommended" in a profile name 14:14:42 Henry: I'm happy to change that, even right now. 14:16:29 Norm: I think another axis of concern was implementing XInclude in the browser. XInclude is only in a profile that reads the external subset and browsers won't. 14:18:05 as an aside ... http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2007/03/28/xinclude-processing-in-xslt-with-xipr.html now works with SAXON CE 14:18:23 spoke to Erik a few weeks ago in Zurich 14:18:49 Henry observes that reading the external subset w/o validation is useful for attribute types. 14:19:03 Norm counters that attribute types are mostly useful for ID attributes and we have xml:id so why bother. 14:21:24 Norm reads through the profiles suggesting that on reflection the seem pretty good, with the possible wrinkle that you can't do XInclude w/o reading the external subset. 14:22:31 Norm: Saying you do the basic profile with XInclude doesn't seem conceptually that different from saying that you do the modest profile and require validation. 14:22:33 Henry: Exactly. 14:23:06 Norm: So maybe we like where we are and we just need to deal with the detailed technical comments. 14:23:19 Henry: Yes, but we probably should rename the "recommended" profile. 14:23:55 Norm: I think "full" is the first adjective that follows "minimal", "basic", and "modest" in my mind. 14:24:12 Jim: Full sounds good to me. 14:24:29 Vojtech: They both sound like something that's good enough. If you want something "more fuller" how would you name it. 14:24:33 s/it./it?/ 14:25:23 Norm: Is there more? 14:26:08 Vojtech: One of cmsmcq's comments is that this division into four profiles was arbitrary. One might have a different view. It's more about deciding what goes into each box. 14:26:28 ...From that perspective, full might be bad because it might not be full for someone else. 14:27:34 Henry: We could add some prose in a suitable place that describes why we named these particular profiles. 14:27:58 ...but you could define your own based on this pattern. 14:28:46 Vojtech: I think right now the feeling cmsmcq had was that it seems a bit arbitrary. 14:29:15 Henry: Well, the answer is, I think, that thinking historically about how they came about... 14:29:37 ...There is an inventory of low-level XML specs. And although they are in some sense independent, they are partially ordered. 14:29:52 ...You can't really imagine requiring XInclude without xml:base. 14:30:43 ...There are two sources of indeterminacy in what you get from a processor. One is how it interprets the flexibility that the XML spec itself provides and the other is which of the low-level specs it supports. The tableaux satisfies the former and the profiles we pick sort of walk up the partial order. 14:31:06 ...We decided that there was no point picking the one off the bottom (no namespace support, no xml:base support), and after that I think it falls out pretty straightfowardly. 14:31:48 Vojtech: I don't disagree, I just think the commenter wanted more of that explanation in the specification. 14:32:01 Henry: Would what I proposed help, do you think? 14:32:14 Vojtech: I think it might. We already have some of this in the background section. 14:32:36 Jim: We could also just enumerate them, level 1, level 2, etc. 14:32:51 Vojtech: Not just naming the profiles, but the stuff that goes in them. 14:34:42 Henry: Yes, and I think we can consider this when we look at that comment in more detail. 14:35:47 Norm: So I think my takeaway is we're willing to consider or even anxious to rename the top-level profile if it'll help, but otherwise we should proceed with addressing the technical comments that we got. 14:36:05 Topic: XProc errata E10 14:36:24 ->http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/xproc-proposed-errata 14:36:42 Norm: This addresses the issue Vojtech raised about the discussion of "error" as an "output port". 14:37:15 Norm: Anyone think I got it wrong? 14:37:52 Jim: Are these errata tied back to email messages on the list? 14:38:07 Norm: No, but they probably should be. At least to the minutes where the decision was made. I'll try to be better about that. 14:39:19 HST is happy with E10 14:39:28 Jim: What about ancillary specs? 14:39:47 Norm: I have an errata document for the p:template spec. But it's a note so we can just republish it if we want. 14:39:56 Jim: And do you think notes are a good way forward? 14:39:58 Norm: Yes. 14:39:59 Henry: Me too. 14:40:06 Jim: Should we be considering anything else for notes? 14:41:03 Norm: I'm happy to, if anyone has suggestions. 14:41:21 Jim; I think we should be active in publishing those kinds of notes. 14:42:27 +Murray_Maloney 14:43:06 Present: Norm, Jim, Henry, Vojtech, Murray 14:43:27 Topic: Validation in the processor profiles note 14:43:40 Murray: I didn't think the antecedent of "this" was clear. 14:43:42 Henry: Ok. 14:43:56 Murray: Some of the specs refer to external declarations, what about the internal ones? 14:44:21 Henry: The "required of conformant non-validation parsers" clause ties that one down. The spec doesn't give you any leeway there. 14:47:05 Some discussion about the orthogonal nature of validation. You can complement any of these profiles with a statement that validation is required. 14:49:59 Murray: Shouldn't we say why? 14:50:55 Topic: Any other business? 14:51:00 None heard. 14:51:13 Henry: Give my regards to all and sundry in Montreal. 14:52:29 -ht 14:53:36 Adjourned 14:53:37 -Murray_Maloney 14:53:44 -Vojtech 14:53:49 rrsagent, set logs world-visible 14:53:50 -Norm 14:53:52 -Jim 14:53:53 rrsagent, draft minutes 14:53:53 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/07/21-xproc-minutes.html Norm 14:53:54 XML_PMWG()10:00AM has ended 14:53:56 Attendees were Norm, Jim, ht, Vojtech, Murray_Maloney 15:04:55 Ankh has joined #xproc 16:03:05 Norm has joined #xproc 16:23:00 Zakim has left #xproc 16:41:59 ht has joined #xproc
