ISSUE-73: Overlap of "predefined vocabularies" with other specifications

Overlap of "predefined vocabularies" with other specifications

State:
CLOSED
Product:
HTML 5 spec
Raised by:
Julian Reschke
Opened on:
2009-06-03
Description:
Recently, new sections have been added to the spec, defining embedding/extraction of data in various formats, such as vCard, iCalendar, Atom, and BibTex.

The issues mentioned below a primarily about the vCard related stuff, but similar concerns apply to iCalendar and Atom as well (which both are IETF specs as well).

Procedural - the WG is working on trying to find consensus on all
sections of the spec; sections without consensus are to be removed (at
least that's my understanding of the process). Also, the editor himself
announced a "feature freeze" quite some time ago. So, why are we seeing
these new sections without *any* prior discussion?

Spec Size - the spec already is big, and there is no evidence that this
needs to be specified *inside* the HTML5 spec.

Extensibility - the current chapter copies terminology from RFC2426, but
misses it's extensibility hooks, and thus fails to mention things that
have been defined later, such as the IMPP type name.

Parsing - for some types, parsing rules are being rephrased from
RFC2426. There is a risk that they diverge.

Versioning - the IETF is revising vCard, see
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-vcarddav-vcardrev-07>. Is HTML5
going to freeze the vocabulary at a version that the IETF is currently
obsoleting?

-------------------------------------------------------------
PROPOSED RESOLUTION:
Resolved by a spec change that has moved the predefined vocabularies out of HTML5 and into separate drafts, none of which the HTML5 draft references or has any dependency on.

[MikeSmith]: predefined vocabs have now been moved out of HTML5 and into separate drafts; see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Oct/0087.html & http://dev.w3.org/html5/mdvcard/ & http://dev.w3.org/html5/mdvevent/ & http://dev.w3.org/html5/mdwork/ and note that HTML5 does not reference those drafts nor have any dependency on them.
