<glazou> hello, finally made it :-)
<dcramer> 413.325.1307 is Dave Cramer from Hachette
<SimonSapin> How do I tell Zakim about a room with two people?
<SimonSapin> [Mozilla] has SimonSapin
<bkardell> 520.280.3584 is bkardell
<fantasai> ScribeNick: fantasai
<antonp> ScribeNick: antonp
<fantasai> ScribeNick: fantasai
plinss: Any additions to the agenda
SimonSapin: In the Syntax spec,
some changes from CSS2.1
... Tried to match Fonts spec, do parsing/normalization of
unicode-range in tokenizer
... But fonts spec changed
... So want to revert changes, and do what CSS2.1 does for
UNICODE-RANGE
... Tab prefers to do parsing in Syntax, have unicode-range
return pair of integers rather than string
fantasai: Well, I know we have implementations of the 2.1 tokenization
SimonSapin: They're not testable
dbaron: Some cases can be tested
via obscure counter-reset/increment declarations
... But don't think it's worth worrying about
... 2 questions - what is the desired behavior, and which
spec?
... So first, what's the desired behavior
jdaggett: Desired behavior in terms of ... ?
dbaron: What are the differences in behavior that we're discussing
SimonSapin: Fonts spec changed
details of UNICODE-RANGE parsing in last WD
... e.g. ranges beyond Unicode used to be clipped, but are now
invalid
jdaggett: How does that impact Syntax?
SimonSapin: Because Syntax defines tokenization
<SimonSapin> SimonSapin: Syntax used to do clipping in the tokenizer
jdaggett: Only opposition is Tab, and he's not on the call atm
SimonSapin: What came out of ML
discussion was Tab, was compromise
... Tokenizer would have pair of integers
... Leave to fonts what to do with integers, depending on
whether increasing/decreasing etc.
... Just two integers given back
jdaggett: impact of what we're talking about is whether parser takes something as UNICODE-RANGE or not
<SimonSapin> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Sep/0019.html
jdaggett: Cases where author will want to use that syntax somewhere else is almost never
SimonSapin: Proposal is to remove part of syntax that defines unicode-range range restrictions
plinss: Does this impact Fonts, which is going ot CR?
<SimonSapin> SimonSapin: ie. removing this section: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/raw-file/aa1b58939f73/css-syntax/Overview.html#set-the-unicode-ranges-range
TabAtkins: Could remove stuff from Fonts spec, because covered by Syntax
fantasai: Don't think we should be removing anything from Fonts spec, Syntax is kindof early stages, would like Fonts to be complete as of now.
jdaggett agrees
ChrisL: Don't want Fonts spec to
change
... Given it's going to CR
TabAtkins: UNICODE-RANGE in
CSS2.1 accepts syntax that will never be needed/used
... Would like those cases to not parse as UNICODE-RANGE.
... But fine with range-restrictions staying in Fonts
spec
...
... I would like to kill U+1?3
<SimonSapin> examples of bad syntax: U+1?3, U+1?-30
TabAtkins: Want to make that invalid at the tokenization level
SimonSapin, I think the second one is already invalid in 2.1
<SimonSapin> fantasai, it is valid in 2.1
plinss: Any other comments?
<SimonSapin> 2.1’s definition: u\+[0-9a-f?]{1,6}(-[0-9a-f]{1,6})?
fantasai: No changes to Fonts spec, right?
right
fantasai: So only question is whether UNICODE-RANGE uses the 2.1 syntax or Syntax syntax
jdaggett: [talks about splitting definitions across specs]
fantasai: If we're changing
definition fo UNICODE-RANGE, we need to errata 2.1
... Can't have two different definitions depending which spec
you read
plinss: Anyone objecting to Tab's change?
TabAtkins: Simon's proposal was to accept 2.1 syntax, and have Font's processing make things invalid
SimonSapin: I'm fine with Tab's proposal as well
fantasai: Only thing that bothers
me is that we have implementations on the 2.1
tokenization
... They'd have to go back and change
TabAtkins: It's (for the most part) author-undetectable
Bert: I'd like to see the regex first, if that's ok
TabAtkins: Ok, I will send to ML
RESOLUTION: UNICODE-RANGE token changed (in Syntax & CSS2.1) to be more restrictive in what it takes, per Tab's proposal
No changes to Fonts
<jdaggett> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-fonts/doc-20130711-LCWD.html
plinss: Fonts to CR?
jdaggett: There was one
outstanding issue on 'ordinals', but that got cleared up over
ML with examples/pics
... Question is, do we need another LC or go to CR?
... I don't think there's a huge impact on implementations from
any of these changes
... Most significant change is removing 'auto' value
fantasai: I don't think we need to go through another LC, changes aren't very major
ChrisL: Spec is currently listing
everything as major changes, most are minor
... But several are substantial [lists]
... Reorder feature precedence, 'auto', etc.
... All these need to be addressed, and argue that they are
minor
... I'd rather not do another LC
jdaggett: Auto value was never
implemented
... Not part of CSS2 spec
... Only removing a single value, that was never
implemented
<dbaron> I think ChrisL was saying that we need to argue that the changes weren't substantive in order to go from LC to CR.
<dbaron> (for minutes)
[process discussion]
jdaggett: So I should revise Changes section to not list changes as major
<ChrisL> quote "Some reasons for declining a transition request
<ChrisL> The technical report has been substantively modified since the previous transition. In this case, the document is returned to the Working Group for further work."
jdaggett: Could also add an
"impact" statement, to describe what the impact is on
implementations
... For most of these, no impact, because there aren't
implementations
[discussion of how to style DoC]
[more discussion of handling DoC]
ChrisL: I'm trying to be pre-emptively awkward here, to make the transition call go smoothly
plinss: I get your point Chris,
and but for this point, i don't think this is worth taking up
group time
... I'd rather take up 10 min of transition call time than 10
min of CSSWG telecon time
... Any objections to CR?
SteveZ: Sent email this morning on 'ordinal' issue
<ChrisL> ok. socan we have a minuted decision to request CR followed by a transition request email
SteveZ: I have no text that's there, just want to point out that there's an aspect of ordinals that is in the OT definition, that really no longer applies
<ChrisL> I can help draft the transition request if that would help
SteveZ: The original conception
of 'ordinal' feature was that you could mark a paragraph, and
it would ordinal everything that was number followed by
letters
... Problem was that writing rules for all languages was
troublessome
... So you need to apply the feature around just the
numbers
... as the example shows
... Might want to say that in the text
jdaggett: Don't think it's
necessary
... I can add to the sentence within the example, just to
indicate that it's not applied to the paragraph
SteveZ: That sounds good to
me
... Just want a warning to not apply it to the whole
paragraph
jdaggett: Any objections to CR?
fantasai: No, let's do it!
<ChrisL> none at all
RESOLUTION: Fonts Level 3 to CR
ACTION ChrisL Send transition request
<trackbot> Created ACTION-576 - Send transition request [on Chris Lilley - due 2013-09-11].
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-cascade/issues-lc-2013
fantasai summarizes all the comments
<glazou> go ahead!
RESOLUTION: Cascade L3 to CR
fantasai: [summarizes discussion]
jdaggett: I'm fine with that
SteveZ: Can I raise a related issue?
jdaggett: Can you raise it on the list?
plinss: Will it impact this discussion?
SteveZ: Don't know
... When I contacted Adobe font people about compression issue,
they basically said "don't do that"
... So I had a private conversation with Koji, who said 'but we
have to do that, because the WebKit based publication guide
wants to be able to ensure that all their text fits within an
em-square for body text'
... Issue I'm concerned about is making the default for
text-combine do the compression
... Rather than have a property to turn it on
... Which would remove many of the cases that we seem to be
stumbling over
jdaggett: This issue is exactly
what we discussed 1.5 years ago.
... We had a property to control it
... But seemed overkill to me
... Maybe post to the list, what you want
... We've added this property, and then took it out, and now
you're leaning towards bringing it back
SteveZ: What I want is not have the default be compression
<dbaron> fantasai: reason default is compression for CSS and not for indesign is that in indesign author can see and tweak the result and will adjust it; in CSS author doesn't see it and doesn't know exactly where lines will break, etc.
<dbaron> fantasai: important for publishers not to have overlap. Can't manually check with CSS. So better to force 1em compression so they can guarantee there's no conflict.
