  glazou: Let's get started.
  glazou: As usual, additions to agenda?
  glazou: I saw one from Simon referring to Elements.
  glazou: One from Dirk about meetings.
  glazou: Correct?
  glazou: Anything else?
  glazou: We could have a short meeting without a lot on the radar

 <bkardell> sorry I am in an area with spotty cell signal, keep losing
            call
 <bkardell> I will follow via irc

GCPM and Page Floats
--------------------

  glazou: Is Hakon on?
  florian: I don't think he said he'd be here so he said we should take
           it next time.
  glazou: Well, we decided not to discuss without the editor on the call
          and so I'm not willing to discuss without Hakon.

  astearns: There's not much to discuss about GCPM so we could resolve
            for a WD.
  glazou: We did in the F2F.
  glazou: We're just waiting for the doc to be ready.
  florian: If it's done we can green light Hakon.
  glazou: Remember, the working group members decided to decide only if
          the editor here.
  florian: It's not complicated, so we should be okay without the
           author. If it's complicated we need the author.
  glazou: I agree.

  glazou: Do people who made comments want to block?
  dauwhe: I'm okay.
  SimonSapin: I made comments, but I don't think they are blocking WD.

  glazou: Any objections with publication?
  RESOLVED: Publish a new WD of GCPM

  glazou: Given the PageFloats discussion on the mailing list, I suggest
          we wait.

DOMMatrix, DOMPoint and DOMPointLiteral
----------------------------------------

  Krit1: I'd like to publish a new ED
  krit1: We combined into Geometry API
  krit1: It would be with me and Rik as co-editors
  krit1: Does the WG agree?
  glazou: No objection about co-editors

  glazou: I'd like to hear about publishing new ED
  glazou: I don't think you need permission for ED
  krit1: Ok
  <SimonSapin> krit1: just ED at this point

  glazou: Any object about co-editors?
  [silence]
  RESOLVED: krit and Rik as co-editors for DOMMatrix, DOMPoint and
            DOMPointLiteral

Shapes
------

  astearns: I asked for comments, there's one issue remaining.
  astearns: There's one comment left about basic shape functions,
  astearns: I'd like to work through the syntax and ask for LC next
            week.

  glazou: Is this in reference to Hakon's comments?
  astearns: No, Tab and fantasai's comments about taking commas out of
            functional notations.
  astearns: Also about if we need two sections about circles when we
            have radial gradients.
  astearns: Also waiting to hear if it would work for rectangle and
            polygon.

  glazou: So defer to next week

  <BradK_> Regarding GCPM, I hope more people can review this idea (not
          to block publication of working draft):
         http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Oct/0086.html

  <bkardell> ? is there any good simple rule for when to comma/not?
  <stearns> bkardell: there's a link to a principles wiki in fantasai's
           message (and one of my responses)
  <bkardell> not from a parser perspective but just in general
  <bkardell> stearns: thx - sorry, a little behind list

Elements
--------

  glazou: Can you paste URL?
  <SimonSapin>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Oct/0043.html

  SimonSapin: We have two features that refer to elements
  SimonSapin: This is elements in images 4
  SimonSapin: And cross referencing in GCPM

  SimonSapin: Elements uses an ID selector, GCPM uses a URL
  <SimonSapin> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-gcpm/#cross-references
  SimonSapin: This is two mechanisms to do same thing; we should pick
              one.
  <fantasai> This has been an open issue for a while
  * tantek reviews the agenda
  * krit1 tanktek no worries, CSS3 UI isn't on the agenda
   <tantek> krit1 - however the element/id selector thing may affect
            nav-* properties which are in CSS3-UI
  <krit> Maybe we need to go back to LC for CSS3-YI :)
  <tantek> krit1 - nav-* directional properties are implemented with
           test cases per the thread on www-style

  glazou: I understand why we use the URL in GCPM, because a book can be
          a set of docs.
  SimonSapin: URL can be a reference to other documents, Hakon seems OK
              to not do that.

  SimonSapin: The thing with URLs, we need to define how a fragment is
              mapped to an element.
  SimonSapin: This isn't same as HTML

  SimonSapin: We need to define or refer to something that defines
  glazou: There's a prevision that the name shares same value space,
  glazou: All browsers should do the same for most recent HTML.
  glazou: In practice when you use fragment identity in URL it
          references to one element if it's a name or an arbitrary
          element.

  SimonSapin: And that's HTML?
  glazou: Yes.
  SimonSapin: Do we want them to depend on HTML?
  SimonSapin: Or do we need a definition that works for any document
              type?
  glazou: I'm not sure I understand.

  glazou: Fragment identifier points to one item.
  SimonSapin: As far as I know CSS can work on anything including HTML.
  SimonSapin: Are we fine with changing that?

  <tantek> q+ to note that nav-* directional properties use just "#id"
           as value
  * tantek refers to http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ui/#nav-dir

  glazou: What is the spec again that defines fragment identities?
  glazou: Outside of CSS?
  glazou: There's a doc in the consortium space making the relationship
  SimonSapin: That's what I'm missing.
  glazou: Since there's a potential solution without changing specs, we
          should keep this to the mailing list.
  SimonSapin: That's fine.

  tantek: Sorry to make this more complex, there's a third method used
          in CSS UI.
  tantek: It's similar to element, but not an element function.
  tantek: Up, down, etc all take values similar to #ID.
  tantek: Not only that, we have test cases and two implementors.

  tantek: I thought I should point it out, but I don't have strong
          feeling on syntax.
  tantek: But we should keep that in mind;
  tantek: There's real world content using it.

  SimonSapin: Is that in terms with selectors?
  tantek: Completely inline.
  glazou: I guess question is is # a fragment identifier?
  tantek: The wording right now is fragment URL.
  tantek: It's weak working.
  <florian> The <id> value consists of a '#' character followed by an
            identifier, similar to a fragment identifier in a URL. It
            indicates the element to which the focus is navigated to in
            response to directional navigation input respective to the
            specific property.

  <fantasai> If it was thought of as a url, it probably would have used
            url()
  <fantasai> with some limitations in prose.

  glazou: So.
  tantek: It's similar to fragment ID in URL?
  tantek: It's explanatory, not normative text.

  tantek: Is there a test to see which is used?
  SimonSapin: Yes
  tantek: If you did that test with Nav and checked in implementors.
  florian: Opera implemented, not sure other one.
  tantek: Sounds like you could construct test with name and nav in
          Opera and see what happens.
  <florian> Note that it is the old opera that supports that.
  <florian> old opera = presto

  glazou: We have 2 using fragments, and 1 selector
  tantek: We're not sure.
  tantek: If implementors treat it like a selector we're okay.
  SimonSapin: It's a bit undefined.
  tantek: I can define it like the implementors are using it.
  glazou: So take back to LC and wait for reports on test.

  glazou: Is that okay SimonSapin, Tantek
  SimonSapin: Yes.
  Tantek: Yes.

Task force meeting
------------------

  Krit: We agreed to meet in Seattle at the same time as the SVG WG.
  Krit: Should we meet together on Wed?
  glazou: I think it would be useful.
  glazou: Yes.
  glazou: Not the whole day, but for a few hours.

  * sgalineau Note: CSSWG currently booked for 1/27-1/29; FXTF would be
              on 1/29. SVG would be 1/29-1/31.

  glazou: Any other comments?
  glazou: That was a light agenda and we exhausted it.

  florian: I won't be at next F2F.
  glazou: Me neither.

  SteveZ: Any update on if we'll have a Sunday meeting?
  glazou: I didn't hear back.
  glazou: You saw forum; it's complex to contact hotel.
  glazou: Not sure if we have a room, I haven't heard a single word.
  SteveZ: We're getting to where we need to make airline reservations.

  <rhauck> Registration is also open for TestTWF for TPAC attendees.
  <rhauck> If you are planning on coming to TestTWF and haven't gotten
           your TPAC registration code, please contact me.

  ACTION: glazou ping Bert to see if have reservation
  <trackbot> Created ACTION-585 - Ping Bert to see if have reservation
             [on Daniel Glazman - due 2013-10-0.

  glazou: Anything else?
  glazou: Thanks everyone

[Meeting ended]

  <glazou> krit1, I misunderstood your request today
  <glazou> you asked for a new ED
  <krit1> yes
  <glazou> and that does indeed require WG approval
  <glazou> I was mistaken, sorry for that
  <krit1> so do we need to take it up next week again?
  <glazou> so let me correct things by email and ask if there is any
           objection
  <krit1> ok
  <glazou> if there is no objection, we'll consider resolved
  <glazou> ok for you?
  <krit1> glazou: yes, that is fine for me
  <glazou> thanks krit1 and sorry for the mishmash
  <glazou> and thanks sgalineau for the heads up

  DECISION TAKEN TO EMAIL ON W3C-CSS-WG MAILING-LIST after
  misunderstanding and invalid decision during call given the request.
  Correction made by co-chair Daniel after end of the call.
