<DanC> yes, 51.

[17] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html
<DanC> the tracker's not very good at answering "where's the current
draft on this issue?" unfortunately, Larry
Noah: Discussion abt use of 'Semantic Web' in SDW

Stuart: I am supportive of Jar's comments
... I support the spirit of the change.
<DanC> (did I hear correctly... roughly 3 for "make the change" 4
for "no, let's not")
<DanC> (the 4 includes noah, I think)
<DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, ?, ?)
<DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, tim, ?)
Stuart: If we go with that it leaves us with the status quo
<DanC> (3 = jar, ht, skw; 4 = dan, noah, tim, daveo)
Ashok: I also supported the status quo
<DanC> (I find

[19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2009Jan/0034.html
<DanC> -1 "add a link to the W3C Semantic Web activity statement"
<DanC> I concur that the "The goal of the Semantic Web initiative is
as broad as that of the Web" suffices as a definition
Stuart: Suggest we ask Jonathan and Noah to work together and handle
this editorially
... Would anyone object to saying Action 207 is done and results in
no change to the document
No objection
<noah> [20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/211
[20] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/211
Action 211 on Dan
<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - 211
<Stuart> close action-207
<trackbot> ACTION-207 Try to wordsmith to get rid of 'Semantic Web'
and submit for review closed
DanC: Larry, what's current thinking on x-tokens
<DanC> case in point x-www-urlencoded
<DanC> yes, that's how x- tokens have been used
Larry: goal was to lower the bar for registration ... did not work
out very well
Dan: I will collaborate with Larry on this
<masinter> sorry, RFC 4288 section 3.4
[21]http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4288.txt
[21] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4288.txt
Dan: I will find IETF position on x-tokens
<noah>

4.html#standards
[22] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments-2009-01-14.html#standards
Dan: On squatting, my poster child case is when Google introduced
.... and there was a standard the next day ... rel="nofollow"
<DanC> action-211 due 19 Jan 2009
Dan: I would like that in the draft but not sure abt timing
Noah: I wd like to invite the TAG to review the document and see if
their concerns are addressed
<DanC> I think it s
[23]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html#grou
nding 6 Accountability and Grounding Information in the Web
[23] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/selfDescribingDocuments.html#grounding
Noah: This is section 6
... I think the issue re. 'libel' are addressed by my rewording
<DanC> (is a diff-marked copy already done? don't bother to make one
if not, but there is one, I'd like to look at it)
<masinter> IMHO, I think TAG findings shouldn't make claims about
legal standing without review by W3C Legal
<DanC> ann
[24]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0040.html
[24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0040.html
<DanC> ah...

[25] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html
Noah: Explains it's a story not a legal statement
jar: Can we use something less controversial, like Sen. Smith has
put his house for sale
Noah: This may raise other issues
jar: How abt 'might be useful' instead of 'can be really useful'
Noah: Is it broken or can we make it better.
<masinter> Personally, I doubt that the specifications of the Web
have any relevance or utility at all in proving anything in court
jar: It still seems a bit like making a legal statement
<masinter> just IMHO
<DanC> +1 s/very// (on general strunk-and-white grounds)
...jar: 'might be useful'
<masinter> Some people may think that it might possibly be useful in
some situations
Larry: Doubt that legal claims can be made on web content
<DanC> (was Larry's point about web content or web standards?)
<masinter> My point was about scope of TAG covering giving legal
advice or suggestion
<DanC> close action-208
<trackbot> ACTION-208 Work on "attribution of libel" concern with
Stuart closed
Noah: Suggest 208 as resolved ... remove the word 'very'
<DanC> (can you just commit it without announcing it?)
Larry: Even if you remove 'very' it makes me uncomforatble. You use
the word 'prove'. Perhaps 'signify' or 'indicate'.
<jar> +1 proving -> establishing
Noah: Remove 'prove' with 'establish' ?
<DanC> to wit
[26]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html
[26] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jan/0013.html
Noah: I sent a draft a week ago. Did I miss anything?
Dan: I need to check Tim's concerns
<DanC> (I'm looking for 3-word technical capsules of tim's concerns)
Noah: Tim made some handwritten comments. I took a picture and I
have acted on all I could.
<masinter> (brb)

<DanC> "<hst> Client Technology package story for machines parallel
to Spec chain story for humans"
Noah: I adopted text from Tim pretty much as is.

Dan: Henry can spk for himself
<DanC> (it's done to my satisfaction; I think ht can speak for
himself in reply to NM's msg of ... ~8 Jan )
Stuart: I will ask Henry to review
<DanC> close action-209
<trackbot> ACTION-209 Attempt to address critical concerns from end
of 11 Dec self-describing web discussion closed
Stuart: Close 209 ... I will prod Henry

<trackbot> ACTION-212 Change two good practice notes in sections 5.1
and 5.2 of Self-describing Web closed
Noah: states the changes
<DanC> (oh... we could file those 2 remaining under action-208)
Stuart: Can we put the question contingent on the changes. Or ask
someone to do a final review
Dan: How about doing by email
Stuart: I will make clear we will put question next week. People who
have given regrets shd respond by mail.
