<skw> Headed toward compiling to a regexp.

<skw> ht: CMSMCQ started along a similar path a year or two back

<skw> danc: TAG visted HTML-WG to discuss splitting the spec.

<DanC_> HTML5 Specification - List of sections and corresponding work estimates Ian Hickson (Monday, 27 October)

<skw> ... Ian Hickson has offer estaimates of workload/expertise to split the editing task.

<jar> I fear I don't have enough of a big picture view to understand why 2.5.2 and following are so hairy. But no one would do this voluntarily, so something must be going on.

<skw> danc: thinks that good technical writers can add alot to a document without being subject experts.

<ht> HST notes that "Legacy extended IRIs for XML resource identification" http://www.w3.org/TR/leiri/ is relevant here

<skw> ht: Ian Hickson agreed that the LEIRI spec addresses the promblem of spaces in URI, but not the problem of document character encoding inparameter strings

<Zakim> DanC, you wanted to note james clark's http://blog.jclark.com/2008/11/what-allowed-in-uri.html

<jar> The strings "html" and "browser" do not occur in the jclark post

<skw> You can find him at: jeremy (at) topquadrant.com

<DanC_> MC: no

<DanC_> ... we're starting an implementation now"

Safe Javascript and web apps security

<timbl> Zaim, mute whoever is making noise

<noah> Noah joins the call.

http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/#requirements

http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/#use-cases

timbl: the "access control spec" has a misnomer for a name
... I'm not sure adding domains to the model improves things

<jar> I'm totally confused on the relation between the W3C effort on safe javascript, Crockford, and Google (Mark Miller / Caja).

DanC: thanks for getting some requirements in the access control spec
... DaveO

http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/#use-cases

TimBL: yes, that 1st bullet is a sentence; read a comma before "this"

DanC: OK.

"If the contacts part of an e-mail application allows a social networking site to add contacts, this could be done through a cross-site PUT requests."

(timbl has told me a story about fedex and AA.com that I grokked on some days.)

hello? trackbot?

<trackbot> ACTION-194 Revise Self-Describing Web Draft Finding in response to September 2008 F2F meeting due date now 5 Dec 2008

<timbl> The Abstract and Intro of aCaja look actually rather interesting. "Caja represents our discovery that a subset of JavaScript is an object-capability language"

<jar> The Caja principal (Mark S Miller) is involved in Ecmascript standards process...

ACTION-183 due 2 Dec 2008

<trackbot> ACTION-183 Incorporate formalism into versioning compatibility strategies due date now 2 Dec 2008

<jar> I think it would be a mistake for the web apps WG to overlook Caja

Caja... quite... pls note that in a comment in the survey

<timbl> "Caja is an enforced subset of JavaScript we designed to make as

<timbl> little impact as possible on regular JavaScript programming.."

<jar> OK, thanks
