   <chaals> trackbot, start meeting

   <trackbot> Date: 06 February 2014

   <scribe> scribe: janina

longdesc status

   cn: Mark and C are working on it, making progress

   ms: I have a repository for docs setup for this task

   cn: Have been generous with late responses to date

DOM4 is last call

DOM4

   cn: Is a Last Call

   <chaals> JS: Discussed yesterday in PF (we had concerns relating to DOM3)

   <chaals> 
 so we need to carefully review DOM4 and we have several volunteer reviewers working for 26 feb deadline for PF to bring comments to this TF and the HTML WG

   <MarkS> JS: PF has discussed DOM 4 yesterday. We had concerns with DOM 3, so we thought it was worth our time. We have a deadline to review by 26 FEB and will bring
   feedback to this TF and the HTML WG.

   <chaals> 
 we expect some comments

   <chaals> 
 But we are pleased to say Mutation Events are in the process of being overtaken by IndieUI...

   pc: Notes that DOM4 was moved to HTML-WG because it's one of HTML's key dependencies
   ... We did ask for LC delay to compensate for publication delay

   rs: Is there plan to do DOM4 events spec?
   ... Noting there's DOM3 and DOM3 Events, but not a DOM4 Events, and the topic isn't covered in the DOM4 events

   cn: As I recall, DOM3 Events not based on DOM4
   ... Do expect DOM3 Events to be done in an HTML 5 timeline
   ... Best look at wiki status page

   <chaals> WebApps publication status for their specs

   pc: Noting Sec 4.1 of DOM4 is Events

   rs: Concerned that SVG not seeing sufficient structural support

   cn: Does sound like this is worth reviewing
   ... If the HTML-WG is needing an urgent resolution, that may not be forthcoming

   pc: Suggest look at 9.1
   ... Wondering whether all the necessary material has been folded into a single spec doc
   ... Why can't PF send comments directly?

   CN: Can. But, TF was set up to deal with a11y issues between PF and HTML

   <MarkS> JS: I'm comfortable to reply on list and to submit feedback to HTML and the TF, but the TF's need to review does add a need for additional time.

   <paulc> See http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#goals for the provenance of the DOM4 material.

   pc: Suggest PF Chair respond to HTML Chairs on timeline constraints

   <chaals> CN: People in the TF are invited to review the spec as fast as possible

Canvas 2D

   ms: Noting feedback solicted week previous and were made aware of discussion on Mozilla regardingDrawFocusIfNeeded
   ... Issue was raised on our list
   ... Their question on our list caused Google to pull implementation support
   ... Call this week clarified that people weren't as concerned as it seemed on list
   ... Mozilla asked for an additional week to explore Hit Regions as an approach
   ... Case was strongly made for keeping the DrawFocus approach regardless
   ... And for the divion of labor between L1 and L2
   ... Expect feedback from Mozilla asap

   cn: So, we wait on Mozilla ...
