<nikos_> what's the code?

<richardschwerdtfeger> i am on mute :-)

<scribe> ScribeNick: krit

Publication of Compositing and Blending

cabanier: I added how to create layers in SVG to the spec
... by defining the properties that create layers, like opacity, transforms
... dirk said he wants to have just stacking context for SVG and rest of the world
... I think we cann still go to WD for now

heycam: stacking context should be in SVG, but no harm at the moment not t have it
... the defintion for stacking context is in z-index

krit: the chapter is just call z-index, but stacking context is described independent of it

cabanier: it is weired, that some properties create stacking context in CSS that don't apply to svg like position: fixed
... fixed position just applied to HTML

heycam: CSS thinks it applies to all elements

cabanier: but position should be a no-op on SVG
... it should be written somehwer globaly and not in each individual spec
... yes, would be nice to have all in one section and referenced by all spec

s

heycam: do you have a link to the section?

<cabanier> https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/rawfile/tip/compositing/index.html#csscompositingrules_SVG

cabanier: here is the link

heycam: ok

cabanier: the SVG section does not talk about stacking contexrt

heycam: ok
... eventually we will define z-index for SVG and define stacking context with it
... we should add it to SVG2

krit: I think that this is not a good idea to wait for SVG2, Filter Effects, Masking/Clipping, Blending and Transforms need it right now

cabanier: well, we change the defintion for BackgroundImage

krit: no we don't
... stacking context does not mean anything in SVG

cabanier: but nothing would change of stacking context

krit: right, that is why it is not a problem to add it in 1.1
... other specification rely on it

heycam: don't think that ppl have probkems when it is just in SVG2

krit: in the meantime it is unspecified what it means for SVG

heycam: as it always was

shepazu: it is to much trouble to get to the process
... we could do errata, but has no status and we need to the process agains and it seems ....
... we worked so much on SVG1.1, we should put it by site and move to SVG2

krit: ppl are confortable with leaving it unspecified til SVG2

heycam: well, it will be in SVG2 and it is a WD

shepazu: don't think that implementations are necessarily concerned about not relying on REC
... we specify the behavior in SVG2

krit: just don't want to have an unspecified behavior in the meantime

cabanier: the only thing I changed was waht we discussed during F2F before the meeting with the CSS WG.

heycam: you think it is ok?

cabanier: yes

RESOLUTION: publish new WD for Compositing and Blending

no one disagree

heycam: was background-blend-mode in FPWD?

cabanier: no

heycam: there were concerns about background-blend-mode? Can you add a note?

cabanier: property will ship prefixed in next Safari version
... it is not prefixed in chrome, but flagged

… prefix discussion

heycam: who is publishing?

cabanier: is CSS sites

… shepazu misses chris

publishing notes for old specs

<heycam> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-svg-wg/2013AprJun/0019.html

krit: we have unfinished specs on SVG and would like to know if we follow W3C process and publish them as notes, or leave them unfinished?

shepazu: probably a good idea to add a note that we do not continue and publish them as notes

heycam: some are requests some are realy unfinished once
... some were not supposed to get spec in the first point

shepazu: I think we agreed to split color from pagination

heycam: you are right, and put it into SVG2

shepazu: and pagination was … too complex for comlplex and the simple stuff
... was initiziated by Canon but discontinued, so no
... why primers and reqs are specs anyway
... we shoudl call them notes

heycam: so we agree that they all should get notes

krit: I can probably help to prepare them for publication as note

shepazu: no big deal

krit: but you want to have a little sentence where authors should look at now

shepazu: yes

heycam: should have an intern in my house

<scribe> ACTION: heycam to write up a note text for discontinued specs [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/06/13-svg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-3506 - Write up a note text for discontinued specs [on Cameron McCormack - due 2013-06-20].

shepazu: don't think that these specifications need to be noted on W3C blogs

WD SVG2

heycam: we wanted to have a new WD in June
... I want to add the stroke dashing thing
... we do have the hatching already in there
... think there is enough to publish now

all agree to publish now

<richardschwerdtfeger> +1

shepazu: I want that there is nothing stoping us to publish next month again if we want to

RESOLUTION: publish WD SVG2

<richardschwerdtfeger> thought svg2 was to be pub'd in july but ok

heycam: oops, was for next month. However

<richardschwerdtfeger> +1 for July

krit: I am with shepazu t publish again next month if things changed
... I am just worried that it takes to long to publish and new things can not get in

heycam: there are ways around it, but yeah

shepazu: heycam if you can get it ready for publication, then I can try to push it through
... we should not only publish, but tweet about it
... I even like to have a pressure of a dead lin

e

richardschwerdtfeger: will it be locked down?

heycam: will generate it, copy the files and send the corrected version

<scribe> ACTION: heycam publish WD [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/06/13-svg-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-3507 - Publish WD [on Cameron McCormack - due 2013-06-20].

<trackbot> Notes added to ACTION-3507 Publish WD.

<trackbot> Created ACTION-3508 - Work on his actions [on Cameron McCormack - due 2013-06-20].

SVG Integration

krit: suggest to focus at this spec more on current needs
... security and integration in secure way

shepazu: I agree with focusing but disagree that list of properties and attributes is out of scope
... all the things that you say we don't need comes from use cases
... ODF did extend SVG in incompatible ways and asked us to explain where they are wrong
... was relevant at that time
... I would be fine if you join as editor
... agree on priorites to referencing

krit: need to work on security model anyway, so I am fine with adding editor

general agreement

shepazu: some of the things might go in into SVG2
... we may start with the security focus

heycam: what we talked about the last F2F?

yes

shepazu: heycam should be an editor as well?

heycam: just did some changes

shepazu: still asking you to be an editor since you have done a lot of work

heycam: I am fine with being added

RESOLUTION: add heycam and krit as editor of SVG Integration
... concentrate on refercing and property attribute index on SVG Integration
