Kind of node matched

-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2008May/0035.html

Norm: I think the thrust here is that we should be more explicit in all our steps

Henry: If it is the case that there's a majority case, then we could document that and only document exceptions

<scribe> ACTION: Norm to incorporate the suggestion to clarify the types of nodes matched by the steps into the next draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action01]

Some discussion of (public-)xproc-dev@w3.org list; action on Henry ongoing

Vojtech: We should align error codes for matched nodes of the wrong type.

Norm: So a single error code for "you got the node type wrong"?

Vojtech: Or one for each kind of error.

Norm: I think that's a good idea.

Henry: We could have errors for text-node-not-allowed, element-node-not-allowed, etc.

Norm: Ok, I agree that's more informative.

Proposal: Replace random dynamic errors for this case with a set of five, one for each node type.

Accepted.

<scribe> ACTION: Norm to replace the random dynamic errors with the five so agreed [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action02]

p:pack

Wait until Mohamed is present.

pfx:atomic-step

Vojech: I think it's about the same prefix that we're using for built-in steps and extension steps.

Norm: Right. I'll fix that.

<scribe> ACTION: Norm to fix the patterns so that they don't have the same prefix in 4.7 and 4.8 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action03]

MoZ, is that what you wanted for the pfx:atomic-step comment?

Questions about p:http-request

Vojtech: A couple of points; first, one of the examples is still using c:http-request/c:http-request.

Norm: Ok, that's a bug.

<MoZ> Norm, sorry I just joined so I don't have access to IRC history, I'll take a look to the minutes after the telcon

Vojtech: In Section 7.1.9.3 there's an attribute @detailed which if it's set to false, it's not clear what the step should generate.
... I think that if detailed=false, the c:response is not generated.

<scribe> ACTION: Alex to investigate [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action04]

Vojtech: And then there's the question of what to do if the response is a multipart response where there are nested multiparts.

Norm: It's not immediately clear that that makes sense for us, but we should investigate.

<scribe> ACTION: Alex to investigate [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action05]

Vojtech: Two more things.
... In Section 7.1.9.2 there are two conditions: if the content-type is XML or the encoding is base64 or not.
... Then different things can happen, but it seems to me that if the content-type is XML and encoding is base64 then the result is unspecified.

Norm: I think the right thing is decode it and parse it, but we should say that.

<scribe> ACTION: Alex to fix. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/06/05-xproc-minutes.html#action06]

Vojtech: The last one is more of a question, in 7.1.9.4 there's a note about text/html
... that says it'll be base64 encoded. But earlier it says that text types aren't encoded that way.
... So I wonder what the right answer is.

Norm: Yeah, that does seem strange. I'd have expected the text to just be escaped markup.

Any other business

None heard.
