SCXML

State Chart XML (SCXML): State Machine Notation for Control Abstraction

Review of CSS-Variables and Tracking-DNT

http://www.w3.org/International/track/products/56

issue-346?

<trackbot> issue-346 -- Section 5.2 use of %31 and %30 for characters 1 and 0 -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/346

issue-347?

<trackbot> issue-347 -- Section 5.2: DNT-extension excludes should spell out control, space, double quote. -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/347

issue-348?

<trackbot> issue-348 -- Non-ASCII not permitted in extensions -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/348

issue-349?

<trackbot> issue-349 -- Section title for 6.2.7 doesn't match earlier description -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/349

issue-350?

<trackbot> issue-350 -- IRI/non-ASCII not permitted in -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/350

Section 6.3.2: The grammar doesn't allow %, so the path to the DNT value cannot include non-ASCII characters that are percent encoded (neither can it be an IRI). A tracking resource might be named for some actual resource that uses non-ASCII characters in its name. Not permitting non-ASCII directly or via URI percent escapes limits what can be represented.

richard: add document links too, please

issue-351?

<trackbot> issue-351 -- Section 6.4.2: restriction to "URI-safe characters" -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/351

Section 6.4.2: Use of "URI-safe characters" (non-ASCII support). Since a site may wish to associate the tracking status with specific resources and since these resources might be named using non-ASCII characters, this appears to limit usage in a non-helpful way?

<matial> +1

addison: any objections to making these WG comments?

jck: no objection

<David> no objection

jck: be a little cautious about adopting non-ASCII everywhere

issue-352?

<trackbot> issue-352 -- normalization of custom property names -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/352

Section 2 says in part: <quote> Unlike other CSS properties, custom property names are case-sensitive. EXAMPLE. While both --foo and --FOO are valid, they are distinct properties - using var(--foo) will refer to the first one, while using var(--FOO) will refer to the second. </quote> Case sensitivity is not the only variation that can apply to text. While citing the case sensitivity is useful, should mention be made of other variations, such as Unicode[CUT]

addison: anne had a good comment on this, but suggest a health warning

issue-353?

<trackbot> issue-353 -- Section 2.1 case sensitivity and normalization -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/353

addison: any objection to making these WG comments?

<matial> +1
