   wow

   Skype works over this connection

   I am so impressed

   <glazou> fantasai: : so you'll be on the call?

   I think so

   unless the connection to w3c is significantly worse than to skype
   test call

   <glazou> ok

   <glazou> Zakim: IPCaller is fantasai

   melinda, I made a number of edits to css3-page, but I haven't
   checked in yet

   melinda, don't have net access under linux from here, hopefully will
   get a chance next week

   <melinda> fantasai, k, cool.

   <scribe> ScribeNick: fantasai

   fantasai doesn't have email access this week

   <melinda> fantasai, I may have a few locally that we'll need to
   merge in...

Agenda

F2F Meeting in the Fall

   glazou: deadline for 18th of March for TPAC was extended to April 2
   ... The number of groups planning to meet is already above
   expectations
   ... joint meeting with SVG Open?

   chrisl: That was a fallback if the main meeting didn't go through

   glazou: I guess we have to find another location for the f2f
   ... We still have time to find another spot for the TPAC

   alexmog: Why?

   glazou: THere's not enough room at TPAC, too many groups

   alexmog: I thought we were going to go with SVG Open because the
   groups we wanted to meet with weren't going to be at TPAC

   chrisl: They downsized the venue

Agenda Items

   glazou: I was too busy to read all the comments
   ... Anybody have anything to add, please ask now

   Bert: Is howcome's draft ready for publication or not?
   ... GCPM or multicol?

   howcome: They're not done yet, will be done next week

   Bert: css3-namespaces?

   fantasai: not done yet

   <glazou> shepazu: can you be on the call ?

   <glazou> for item 5 on agenda

   glazou: anything else?
   ... Sylvain?

   <shepazu> sure

   sylvain: We wanted to know if another CSS2.1 draft would be
   published soon

   <glazou> thx

   sylvain: Also wanted to know if anything about test suite will be on
   the agenda for June F2F
   ... So we know whether to budget in Arron

   glazou: June F2F agenda is open for suggestions
   ... please suggest something more detailed than just "Test Suite"
   ... Holiday season starts in June, so please plan your hotels earlyu

Follow-up on @import

   glazou: Is this resolved? I saw Sylvain follow-up on this on the
   mailing list

   sylvain: I believed we solved this in Tokyo

Implementation Status Reports

   glazou: Mozilla and Antenna House posted detailed implementation
   reports to www-style

   <ChrisL> these are for css 2.1, or for 3?

   <melinda> Chris, both

   glazou: I think David Baron has in mind some coordination among
   browsers
   ... wrt implementation of CSS features for the Web
   ... I encourage other browser vendors to do the same
   ... If Opera, Microsoft, Apple can send this information to
   www-style as well, that would be very cool

:not() and pseudo-elements

   glazou: There's a clarification to make in the spec

   [16]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0193.html

     [16] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0193.html

   glazou: Sylvain posted a clarification
   ... I think David posted something else

   <glazou>
   [17]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0195.html

     [17] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0195.html

   glazou: fantasai also said that she expects a future version of
   Selectors to accept more in :not() than a simple selectors
   ... Sylvain, which proposal do you prefer?
   ... I think David's proposal is more complete

   sylvain: My proposal was just a clarification

   glazou: Is everyone ok with David's proposal?

   <glazou> #The negation pseudo-class, :not(X), is a functional
   notation taking a simple selector (excluding the negation pseudo-

   <glazou> #class itself) as an argument. It represents an element
   that is not represented by the argument.

   <glazou> #Note: Appending a pseudo-element to a simple selector
   results in a selector; selectors are not valid negation pseudo

   <glazou> #class arguments.

   Peter: The note doesn't clarify that a pseudo-element by itself is
   not a simple selector

   fantasai proposese addding a Note that says "SInce pseudo-elements
   are not simple selectors, they are not a valid argument to :not9)"

   minus the typos :)

   RESOLUTION: sylvain+fantasai's proposal accepted

CSS+SVG Task Force

   Shepazu to summarize

   Doug: This basically started as something regarding transforms and
   animations
   ... David Singer thought it would be a good idea for general
   coordination
   ... It would also involve animations, transitions, other little
   issues that might pop up
   ... I'm just suggesting we make a mailing list
   ... So we don't have to keep cross-posting

   glazou: Dean Jackson says he's ok with a mailing list, but not a
   sub-group

   Doug: THere isn't really any formaility to a task force

   chrisl: It's just somewhere that we can post to

   Melinda: My question, this has started off as being specific to
   2d-3d transforms
   ... but then became more general
   ... If it was just about transofrms, then I wouldn't want to
   subscribe
   ... If it's more general, maybe discussion of
   image-fit/image-scaling
   ... Then I need to subscribe
   ... Wheres' the efficiency benefit

   ChrisL: It's avoiding cross-posting and diverging threads

   glazou: My problem with the separate group
   ... is that the wg memebers are supposed to keep track of everything
   that's going on, even if it's not of direct concern to them

   Doug: My concern wrt transforms, especially
   ... we are both working on different proposals that may end up being
   the same proposal
   ... If people are sending feedback ...
   ... The SVG WG has already gotten feedback about our trnasforms
   module
   ... It's got sent to the public SVG mailing list
   ... At what point are we going to be able to .. I'm concerned that
   emails going to get sent to both lists
   ... separately
   ... And we're not going to coordinate
   ... For SVG group, we just can't track everything that flows
   throught he www-style list

   ChrisL: It's much more efficient for someone from the csswg to
   subscribe to just the joint task force list, and not to all the svg
   lists

   Doug: For those of us that are subscribed to both lists, it's a big
   savings for the SVG group so we dont' ahve to track everything
   ... I'm sure you can have the joint mailing list shoved in a filter
   so it comes to your attention with CSS
   ... Also, if you're not interested in transforms you don't have to
   mointor the list for the next few months

   Melinda seems to be ok with this

   glazou: Open mailing list, or just publicly-viewable

   agreement on open

   public read-write

   discussion of what David thinks

   Doug: For specifications like transforms and animations and things
   like that
   ... That might be the default mailing list for sending comments
   ... I can understand why csswg might not want that, but just a
   suggestion. SVG group is ok with that

   Melinda: I think if the CSSWG agrees to establish that new mailing
   list, I don't see why we wouldn't want to direct comments there

   Doug: We could have a wiki if we wanted, I dont' think it's
   necessary

   discussion of names for the list

   <sylvaing> svg-css-mafia

   www-svg-css-coord

   public-fx

   RESOLUTION: Make a joint CSS SVG task force, Doug to set it up,
   specs of common interest to send comments there, will be *public
   read-write*

Publishing Template Layout module

   Bert: I think it's time for an update
   ... I think I sent also the changes
   ... I removed the part about tabbed layout. interesting, but not so
   urgent... people aren't talking about it at least
   ... Also updated the title
   ... That's why I want to publish it

   fantasai: I thought it was called Template Layout MOdule?

   RESOLUTION: publish updated WD of css3-layout

Wording for Issue 24

   <glazou> [18]http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-24

     [18] http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-24

   It was accepted to fix the problem, but not exactly what wording
   iirc

   <glazou> hi mollydotcom

   <mollydotcom> am I an hour off again?

   yeah

   <glazou> yes :)

   fantasai:
   [19]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Dec/0091.html
   ... There were two woriding proposals there

     [19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Dec/0091.html

   <glazou> mollydotcom: leave the norwegian TZ :)

   fantasai: We discussed them and Bert wanted to write another one
   that was clearer on how the two interact

   <mollydotcom> it's the Arizona Time Zone

   <CesarAcebal> I'm afraid I have had the same error with the hour
   than Molly. In Spain we are not still in Summer Time until this
   weekend. Sorry!

   <glazou> np CesarAcebal

   fantasai: to answer Sylvain's question, we need to solve this issue
   before publishing CSS2.1 again, because we regressed the text with
   the last resolution

   <glazou>

   Bert summarizes his email

   <glazou> fantasai, I can't hear you

   fantasai: It shouldn't be limited to selectors
   ... We want all statements to fall under the matching brackets rule
   ... including @statmeents
   ... I don't think the reuqirement to "match" brackets and quotes is
   hard to understand, it's good enough for now I think
   ... but it needs to apply to statements and to declarations

   <scribe> ACTION: everyone come up with an opinion on Bert's email

   <glazou> mollydotcom: see above

   <ChrisL> it seems to be the usual way to remove things, set the
   attribute to ""

   <glazou>

   dbaron's comment: I think this could be tossed out as a "not all
   requirements are

   expressed in the formal grammar". It's a nice-to-have (and perhaps

   somewhat complicated to get right, so maybe not worth it), but I

   don't think it's a bug in the spec.

   glazou: another issue where the grammar is completed by the prose
   ... we will always have these sort of things
   ... not worth the time and complexity grammar to fix

   peter: why not fix in css3

   glazou: ok, we leave for css3.. but not 2.1

   bert: which are you talking about now?

   glazou: points bert at url

   Bert: So far I havent' seen anything that I would like to change in
   the grammar

   glazou: So Yves posted at least 2 issues here
   ... Specifically about 2.1, do we want to change something?

   RESOLUTION: keep grammar and prose as is for 2.1, defer issue to
   css3

   <glazou> ==> tracker

   <ChrisL> adjourned

   Meeting closed.

   chrisl, could you also make sure last week's minutes made it to the
   mailing list?

   k, thanks :)

   <plinss> ChrisL: +1.858 was me, don't know why Zakim listed me
   twice...

   <mollydotcom> Bert?

   <plinss> same for Howcome, he was +47.21

   <Bert> Hi Molly

   <mollydotcom> Hi! I just wanted to touch base with you regarding any
   web site needs

   <mollydotcom> I sent an email, but I know you're busy - but I'm
   available to help

   <Bert> Yes, I'm going to answer. I put something on line for you to
   look at.

   <mollydotcom> oh good, if you could just email me now at
   mollyh@opera.com for that, I'll be happy to take a look!

   <mollydotcom> I'm trying to streamline all CSS WG related items into
   that address now

   <glazou> it should be møllyh@opera.com

   <mollydotcom> Hahaha

   <mollydotcom> I really wanted molly@opera.com but they couldn't do
   it

   <mollydotcom> my alternative was mholzschlag@opera.com

   <mollydotcom> so I figured mollyh was the best middle ground :)
