RESOLUTION: [15]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2012/12/20-minutes agreed as
a correct record
NM: Two goals for the near term:
... 1) Focus for the TAG, as membership changes
... Suggestions welcome, by email, I'll schedule discussion when it
looks likely to be productive
... I need help moving beyond good top-level visions, which need
filling in
... 2) Ongoing work, some nearing completion, others less concrete
... Need to either complete, or drop
March F2F location
NM: 17-19 March no longer possible for TimBL
... And earlier hope that we might try London the preceding weekend is
fading
<noah> Two options: London Fri-Sun 15-17 & Cambridge 19-21 USA
<Marcos> MC: Any WFM
<slightlyoff> can make london, although the friday is iffy thanks to
TC39 flight back
<JeniT> either ok
<slightlyoff> unlikely to make cambridge
<plinss> either works
<wycats> I am with slightlyoff vis a vis TC39
<Yves> can make cambridge but will miss one day, can't for london (I
can make 1 day)
<Ashok> London No, Cambridge Yes
<HST> I can only do 16-17 in London, but I have always been at risk for
this meeting
<wycats> can we push it forward?
<noah> How far forward
<wycats> these weeks seem pretty contended
<noah> ?
<noah> No, Tim's calendar is incredibly booked. We typically have to
get on it 3 months in advance
<slightlyoff> thanks for the clarification
<wycats> It looks like slightlyoff and my preference is both London
<wycats> I am reviewing my calendar
<slightlyoff> I won't be in Cambridge, no
<slightlyoff> but i'm not more important than tim...break the tie on
his calendar
<HST> I can't do Cambridge
<wycats> I have an existing obligation during the Cambridge time period
but I could cancel
<slightlyoff> no objection, but regrets
<slightlyoff> no, my regrets for not being able to make it...not
anyone's fault
RESOLUTION: Next TAG f2f will be Cambridge, MA on 19--21 March
<slightlyoff> agree with Henry
Polyglot / DOM 4 issue: XML Declaration in the DOM
HST: XML Core group is discussing this
... There's a concern that the XML Declaration is in the XML Infoset
HST: Noah's agenda includes a contested assertion
... There's email reporting that a number of current browsers continue
to support it.
NM: Should TAG do anything right now?
HST: Tempted to recuse myself. I'm active in the XML Core group. Not
clear on TAG-level issue. Dropping it does seem inappropriate, or
confusing at best.
HST: I will certainly come back to the TAG on this if I think there's a
genuine architectural issue here
NM: Not clear we're ready to address this -- we would need to have some
reason to suppose that we could get community engagement on the TAG's
involvement
Progress on FragID finding
NM: We have a project ongoing at the moment:
[16]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/fragids.html
NM: That page describes goals, deliverables, success criteria
<noah>
NM: And we have a public WD: Best Practices for Fragment Identifiers
and Media Type Definitions at
[17]http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-fragid-best-practices-20121025/
<noah> ACTION-772?
<trackbot> ACTION-772 -- Larry Masinter to with help from Jeni to
propose CR exit criteria for fragids finding Due 2013-01-08 -- due
2013-01-18 -- OPEN
<trackbot> [18]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/772
NM: And the current leading edge is recorded in this ACTION:
... We are heading for CR, and we were going to discuss exit criteria
at the (cancelled) F2F
JT: I don't know where we are on exit criteria, I don't think I've
heard from LM, who has that action
JT: I have made a new editors' draft (undated:
[19]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mimeTypesAndFragids, dated:
[20]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mimeTypesAndFragids-2013-01-05.html)
, which incorporates comments from Richard Cyganiak
JT: I think we can still go direct to CR at this point
... I'll take over the CR exit criteria action
NM: Thanks
<noah> ACTION-772?
<trackbot> ACTION-772 -- Jeni Tennison to with help from Larry to
propose CR exit criteria for fragids finding -- due 2013-02-12 -- OPEN
<trackbot> [21]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/772
<slightlyoff> +1
Back to DOM XML Declarations
<noah> NM: Notes that Yehuda and Alex favor discussing the DOM at the
F2F
NM: Happy to have any topic raised by member on our telcon agenda
... Often good to prepare stuff on telcons before we take them up at a
f2f
Next steps for Publishing and Linking
<noah> ACTION-773?
<trackbot> ACTION-773 -- Ashok Malhotra to line up reviewers for
Publishing and Linking and invite to participate in F2F -- due
2012-12-20 -- CLOSED
<trackbot> [22]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/773
AM: We need a fair amount of work on this still
... The two editors, AM and LM, are both on their way off the TAG
... It would be great if a new member would take this up
... Or perhaps JT could pick it up
NM: Points taken
... What do people think -- should we continue to pursue this one? If
so, then we'll look at how
<wycats> I'm not personally interested in pursuing it with my time
HST: I'm conficted. I think it's potentially very important. I get
profoundly frustrated when, knowledgeable journalists seem not to
distinguish linking and embedding when reporting on serious cases
involving extradition or other serious matters.
HST: Yes, different jurisdictions are different. I wish we could do the
service of helping. We gave it a good shot. The comments from people
who understand better what's needed have not been supportive. So, I'd
love to see it move forward, but I can't do it. We may have to drop it.
YL: The legal side gave us feedback that suggests working, as we have,
only on the technical side, we won't get there -- to take this forward
we need to recruit help on the legal side
NM: This feels that something we should have been able to make work, if
we had managed to stay focussed
<slightlyoff> it may be the case that the legal community is
improvising too in a vacuum of settled case law
NM: but the feedback we got from the legal side was not all consistent,
and in attempting to follow it we lost focus
... When we tried to focus on the technology, I think we made some
progress, but we couldn't quite close it
... I do hate to close something after so much effort
JT: Yes, but that is a sunk cost, and it probably is time to move on
... So maybe a finding or a REC is not the right vehicle for achieving
our limited goal
... So maybe realising that blog posts or articles in the press are
legitimate TAG outputs
... is the right thing to do for this
NM: So keep it as a work item, or not?
JT: Keep it on the list of things to include in strategic priorties at
the F2F
AR: What was the driver in the first place, for taking this on?
NM: There has been a steady trickle of legal cases [in US and UK] which
involved sites with links and/or embedding, where public discussion was
just muddled. And we did get, I think, requests from [the W3C's legal
guy] Rigo Wenning, to help with this.
... We thought that a TAG finding on this would have more value than an
individual's blog post
AR: So there was a specific request from lawyers for an explicit
technical guidance?
<JeniT> Jonathan brought Thinh along
<JeniT> Thinh from Creative Commons
HST: I am not sure we had an explicit request to start us off --
certainly some positive feedback once we got started
<Ashok> Yes. we had a chat with Thinh
AR: I think it would be a possible way forward to publish something
pithy that says "Here's the relevant bits, in the TAG's opinion"
<noah> Hmm. Did I not hear Alex suggest pointing to existing
explanations?
<slightlyoff> I'm not trying to
NM: I think the problem is that the RFCs and related material are not
at the right level for public consumption
HST: I think JT's suggestion is the best we've got
<noah> . ACTION: Noah to schedule F2F discussion of whether and how to
pursue Publishing and Linking
<HST:> +1
<slightlyoff> and don't think we should try to in an absence of
compelling demand from a userbase with authority
PL: Couldn't we simply put this on an official TAG blog
NM: We do indeed have such a blog
... But we've used it for personal posting, rather than corporate
<HST:> [23]http://www.w3.org/blog/tag/ [link was broken, now fixed, see
action on YL below]
<noah> ACTION: Yves to figure out where our old TAG blog stuff is.
[recorded in
[24]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2013/01/24-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-778 - Figure out where our old TAG blog stuff
is. [on Yves Lafon - due 2013-01-31].
NM: The entire finding?
AM: It's long for a blog post, isn't it?
... Maybe take one part of it -- extract highlights?
<JeniT> +1 for a series
PL: Break it up into a series of articles would be fine
AM: One on copyright, one on linking vs. embedding
NM: I'm concerned about the archival status of blog posts, compared to,
say, W3C notes
... Putting smaller pieces where they could be useful, yes, but not
sure about doing it via a blog
... So what about notes?
... So some dimensions: how formal; what mechanism; how much TAG
consensus required
... And beyond the TAG, e.g. LM had been interested in the fact that
REC-track gives some community buy-in
PL: CSS has its own blog. . .
NM: Sure, just there is a history which we need to hook up with
[Anne van Kesteren joins the call]
PL: OK, let's try moving that forward again
... tweet about it, and improve its visibility
<noah> . ACTION: Noah to schedule F2F discussion of whether and how to
pursue Publishing and Linking
AM: Yes
<noah> ACTION: Noah to schedule F2F discussion of whether and how to
pursue Publishing and Linking - Due 2013-03-01 [recorded in
[25]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2013/01/24-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-779 - schedule F2F discussion of whether and
how to pursue Publishing and Linking [on Noah Mendelsohn - due
2013-03-01].
Future of Privacy by design note and related privacy issues
<noah> ACTION-774?
<trackbot> ACTION-774 -- Peter Linss to frame F2F discussion of Privacy
by design note, and possible followup up with privacy group. Due:
2013-01-08 -- due 2012-12-20 -- OPEN
<trackbot> [26]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/774
NM: This started with work by Dan Appelquist wrt Javascript APIs for
minimal disclosure
<slightlyoff> "object capabilities"
AM: Minimization
NM: Then Robin Berjon shifted the focus, as Dan A. left the TAG
... And then Robin left
... And PL was given the action to take the existing content, slightly
cleaned up, and publish it as a Note
AM: And we also agreed to ask the Privacy Interest Group (PING) to take
this over
... Also, Nick Doty is writing a document about fingerprinting, which
makes up about half the content of our draft
NM: So?
AM: Abandon it
AM: I have had no answer from PING
NM: Draft me an email and I'll send it
PL: The idea was that by publishing it as a Note we could hand it over
to PING
<noah> ACTION: Ashok to draft note to PING asking them to pick up our
incomplete work on privacy by design by APIs [recorded in
[27]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2013/01/24-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-780 - Draft note to PING asking them to pick
up our incomplete work on privacy by design by APIs [on Ashok Malhotra
- due 2013-01-31].
NM: I'll wait a few days for comments from TAG members and then send it
-- use tag@w3.org for that, please
<Ashok> PING: public-privacy@w3.org
<Ashok> Here is a link to the Privacy by Design document:
[28]http://darobin.github.com/api-design-privacy/api-design-privacy.htm
l
ISSUE-57
HST: JAR and I made some progress at MIT in December, JT has improved
her draft, and is awaiting comments. I hope we will make some progress
before the f2f, but not much in the next few weeks
<noah> Try this link
[29]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/products/defininguris.html
<noah> It's really more than ISSUE-57, we sort of use that as a
shorthand name.
NM: How about a briefing at the F2F?
HST: Maybe -- ask me in a month
<noah> ACTION: Jeni to prepare reading and discussion on Defining URIS
(ISSUE-57) for March F2F - Due 2013-03-01 [recorded in
[30]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2013/01/24-minutes.html#action04]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-781 - prepare reading and discussion on
Defining URIS (ISSUE-57) for March F2F [on Jeni Tennison - due
2013-03-01].
JT: Yes -- I think it's appropriate to aim for feedback on the Primer
and discussion about next steps
noah: this is also known as httpRange14
... this issue is about how to get information about things that aren't
documents using HTTP
... why don't we have a session on F2F topics on next week's telcon
... please send emails with suggestions to the public mailing list
<wycats> noah: can you put a "layering" item on the F2F agenda. I could
write up a sentence or paragraph if that would be helpful
XML/HTML Unification
noah: is there anything useful we can do about this today?
... I have an action to announce that it's done
noah: I took an action to schedule discussion of the DOM stuff at the
F2F
... there's a raging discussion on polyglot on both the HTML and TAG
mailing lists
... in part in reaction to the TAG's reply to Henri
<wycats> I am happy to wait until the F2F to discuss so that the new
members can get a high-bandwidth dump of existing perspectives
<slightlyoff> sorry
... I'll wait to see what else people ask for me to schedule around
this topic
<slightlyoff> my fault
<wycats> 1+
Alex: I'd like to understand what's driving our interest here?
... what's the architectural principle, or is it because there's a
disagreement?
noah: can we defer that to when Tim and/or Henry are with us?
... while HTML&JSON are increasingly being used, XML is still an
important technology
... some people feel that publishing polyglot could help meet the
requirements of those that want to publish HTML with an XML flavour
... we asked for the publication of the polyglot document
Anne: I was on the TF, and maybe the TAG asked for polyglot, but the TF
didn't
noah: the TF surveyed the field, yes
... the TAG went further than the TF
Yehuda: I think this is related to some of the issues that the new TAG
members are interested in
... and we should have a discussion about this in a F2F
noah: we sometimes get requests that we have to respond to more quickly
Yehuda: we should respond to those, but a F2F discussion would be
useful
<noah> ACTION: Noah to schedule F2F discussion of polyglot, the TAG's
request to HTML WG on polygot, and HTML/XML Unification - Due
2013-03-01 [recorded in
[31]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2013/01/24-minutes.html#action05]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-782 - schedule F2F discussion of polyglot,
the TAG's request to HTML WG on polygot, and HTML/XML Unification [on
Noah Mendelsohn - due 2013-03-01].
noah: please could existing TAG members go through your actions and
either close them or send me email about what you want to do with them
... if there are other things that you want to discuss next week,
please email them to me
<slightlyoff> I won't be able to attend next week's call (on vacation).
Regrets.
<JT:> I will scribe next week
