- w3c specifications were never intended for use by end authors -- they've always been targetted at implementors. Confusing the audience leads to bad specifications
- 14:12:21 [fantasai]
- anne, yeah, I agree that a lot of our specs could be written better but it's very unlikely that we can write them precisely enough for implementors and metaphorically enough for authors
- 14:12:46 [fantasai]
- authors should be reading derived material
- 14:12:51 [karl]
- anne, if web designers and web developers do not have to read the spec. Then there is a missing piece that web developers/designers still needs. I think it is the crux of the comment. "We have to read the spec because there's no other source."
- 14:12:52 [anne]
- i think they should work for pedantic authors, not for average authors
- 14:13:26 [LeeF]
- In reality (well, IME), though, the derivative materials don't exist early enough to let non-implementors participate in the consensus / review process
- 14:13:26 [raman]
- I always compile with gcc --pedantic -- but I've never read the ANSI standard for C
- 14:13:44 [ivan]
- dom, what is the user/password for the captioning?
- 14:13:45 [karl]
- the message is "hey we want to understand your stuff". "your stuff is created at W3C". "where on w3c site can I find help for editing."
- 14:13:46 [MikeSmith]
- KevinLawver - probably the same thing that would happen to the anti-virus industry if ...
- 14:13:47 [anne]
- that said, the technology should be simple enough to use for average authors, obviously
- 14:14:03 [Steven]
- ivan, there is no user/pass
- 14:14:09 [anne]
- intuitive, if you will
- 14:14:14 [fantasai]
- and the terminology in the interface/API/syntax should be targetted at them

- 14:16:11 [moshe]
- I wrote a book that mentions the values of standards... by analogy to 150 years ago, when manufacturers accepted standard sizes for nuts and bolts.
- 14:16:12 [timbl_]
- So W3C should produce materials to he;p developer's *managers* understand why the w3C technology is important
- 14:16:14 [AaronGustafson]
- will make it easier to keep track
- 14:16:19 [raman]
- the stumbling block has not been lack of educational materials -- the problem has been lack of good interoperable implementations that work like what the educational materials try to teach

- 14:21:34 [RCutler]
- There are multiple levels of indirection between standards and the managers who make the $ commitmeents. That doesn't make them clueless, but it does mean that it is difficult for you to target them.
- 14:21:36 [raman]
- Hey Tantek!
- 14:21:37 [moshe]
- standards do not inhibit innovation. standard nuts and bolts in automobiles let the designers focus on overall form and function instead of creating custom nuts and bolts.
- 14:22:11 [steph]
- moshe: +1

- 14:22:13 [Mez]
- if you have a standards effort that is a response to a vulnerability, there can be innovation that relies on that vulnerability
- 14:22:22 [tantek]
- hey Raman. regrets I could not be there in person.

- 14:23:54 [KevinLawver]
- The general web development community's (of which I'm a part) frustration is NOT with the standard itself. It's with browsers (like TV said). They're tired of waiting for things like multiple backgrounds, border radius, display: table, a "real" layout system, etc.

- Mez, this whole panel discussion sounds like the descriptions of the first meetings when people discussed adopting standardized nuts and bolts. Same arguments.
- 14:24:27 [John_Boyer]
- standards accelerate innovation by increasing aperture of information flow (not just data flow)
- 14:24:30 [mjs]
- KevinLawver: sounds like when you say "browsers" you mean "Internet Explorer"
- 14:24:39 [KevinLawver]
- We mostly understand the benefits, but the definition of "standards" to almost all of my colleagues is "the hacks I have to use to make it work in IE" not the specs themselves.
- 14:24:52 [Rafa]

- 14:24:55 [raman]
- browsers should focus on doing standards right -- rather than continuously aiming for bug-compatibility across browsers
- 14:25:01 [RCutler]
- How long ago were nuts and bolts standardized? Is this really in living memory?
- 14:25:19 [moshe]
- no, it was in the 1850's
- 14:25:24 [moshe]
- so we have some reports
- 14:25:27 [tantek]
- timbl_: thanks and agreed. i will do my best to participate thru IRC. i also have an iSight and Skype/iChat with sufficient bandwidth if there is someone near the front of the room willing to share.
- 14:25:30 [anne]
- raman, supporting existing content is important, especially to our end users
- 14:25:48 [raman]
- if nuts and bolts were done today's web-browser way, we'd all carry around bagfuls of wrenches out of fear that you'd run into a badly designed legacy bolt any minute

- Anne, existing content is not expressed in the new versions of the language
- 14:26:04 [mjs]

- "very disheartened by the massive gaps". I think we can do better about managing expectations around HTML and CSS schedules. more on that Saturday in the HTML WG meeting.
- 14:27:04 [raman]
- anne -- support existing content all you like -- but as long as that remains the focus, as opposed to say "doing html and css right" --- people will continue to author more junk for you to "support" and that is a death spiral
- 14:27:20 [MikeSmith]
- I'm surprised that Alex Russell is surprised that standards are very good at innovating and inventing.
- 14:27:21 [raman]
- think "support" == "tolerate";-)

- I do think we should talk about your proposed timetable and mine.
- 14:27:59 [moshe]
- During WWII, the US auto companies had to run a separate production line for the Brits, since the US and Brits had separate standards for nuts and bolts. The US standard was better, btw, from a tech standpoint.
- 14:28:12 [mjs]

- 14:29:26 [anne]

- 14:29:30 [tantek]

- John_Boyer, I'm reminded of the stories of my ex-USSR colleagues back in the late 80's. they said in the USSR they carried tapes of their own tools they wrote (editors, compilers) from job to job
- 14:29:59 [Hixie]
- tantek: html5 is working on that. it'll take a while though.
- 14:30:03 [shepazu]
- the process is open, but we need to clarify how to do that... that's a big push I'll be doing with the new SVG Interest Group
- 14:30:05 [RCutler]
- That sounds like stealing to me.
- 14:30:16 [DanC_lap]
- the "there's only so many resources" line is a pet pieve of mine. It means "I'm tired of recruiting" or something.

- 14:34:01 [anne]

- 14:34:12 [mjs]
- to the extent browsers are changing, it's mainly towards more standards-compliance
- 14:34:21 [moshe]
- I dare you to read the Xforms spec and try to figure out, from the intro, just what the spec is supposed to do.

- 14:34:59 [Mez]
- perhaps we should perform our specs...
- 14:35:04 [KevinLawver]
- Do we need to start doing SCRUM in working groups?
- 14:35:17 [Marcos]
- the specs would be 20 times bigger and would take twice as long to make if we have to cater for designers.
- 14:35:25 [moshe]
- Mez, I think I should be able to pick up a spec and figure out what it's supposed to accomplish. I shouldn't have to go to Wikipedia to figure it out
- 14:35:27 [glazou]
- KevinLawver: agreed (about the 3-5 years)
- 14:35:28 [shepazu]
- KevinLawver: then we'd end up with scrumlords
- 14:35:34 [DanC_lap]
- I find studying things like SCRUM worthwhile
- 14:35:44 [Hixie]
- shepazu: otherwise you create a fake bubble of hype and get caught up in it -- and fail to see feedback from the audience when they say the spec doesn't address their needs. we've seen that before in w3c.
- 14:35:46 [Mez]
- why can't there be an overlay to specs for "normal"people (to Marcos comment)
- 14:35:47 [moshe]
- Just one paragraph, Mez, that's all I ask
- 14:35:49 [KevinLawver]
- @shepazu Isn't that what chars are supposed to be anyway?
- 14:35:52 [mjs]
- specs are not software
- 14:35:57 [KevinLawver]
- Sorry, chairs.
- 14:35:57 [John_Boyer]
- Doing scrum in working groups might clarify who the specs are for (and who they're not for). This panel is illustrating the need for a spec for implementers and a primer for users of the implementations
- 14:36:05 [mjs]
- software development methodologies do not necessarily apply
- 14:36:06 [shawn]
- +1 to considering SCRUM like trial...
- 14:36:08 [Mez]
- ok moshe, I'll try to get that one paragraph in WSC
- 14:36:11 [LeeF]
- +1 to spec & primer

- Problem started withnetscape;-) in general the dominant browser has always been buggy and everyone has made the problem worse over time by being bug compatible
- 14:42:56 [mjs]
- is there any non-trivial standard that's less than 20 years old and can claim to have 100% support from anything?
- 14:43:04 [mjs]
- even C compilers have standards compliance bugs
- 14:43:13 [glazou]
- mjs: electricity
- 14:43:18 [anne]
- Yves, when they stop "sucking" and come with millions of testcases this might be feasible :)
- 14:43:24 [raman]
- if gcc were like browsers, we would first ask all failing CS students to submit their programs -- and then build a compiler that compiled all the code from the failing student's ;-)
- 14:43:28 [Mez]
- steph, we're trying to figure out both ways to "verify" that our recommendations will be sufficiently "usable", and also what to tell people about ensuring their implementation of our recommendations are suffiiciently "usable"
- 14:43:34 [MikeSmith]
- It seems like there is maybe an expectation among some users/readers that all specs should somehow be understandable/readable by non-implementors or those who don't understand the implementation complexities ... an unrealistic expectation. The answer is maybe: You're not going to understand some specs unless you have certain prior knowledge that it may likely be you don't have unless you're an implementor or or have worked in some way a browser or other U
- 14:43:34 [MikeSmith]

- raman: and 10000x more people can write HTML than can write C. surely having a publishing technology that is accessible to more authors is a good thing?
- 14:44:44 [mjs]
- raman: not of gcc itself, of programs it compiles
- 14:44:52 [mjs]
- that's the difference between a complier and interpreter
- 14:44:52 [anne]
- Yves, well, based on impl experience standards prolly have to be fixed
- 14:45:06 [mjs]
- perhaps it's no coincidence that popular interpreted languages have just one dominant implementation and no spec
- 14:45:23 [glazou]
- mjs: standardization in electricity is far more complex than ours, FYI
- 14:45:26 [shepazu]
- CSS is not the whole of W3C
- 14:45:29 [KevinLawver]
- The panel excluded, but a lot of trainers I've seen just don't know the subject. They spread FUD and misinformation instead of teaching the specs, benefits and then work-arounds.
- 14:45:36 [raman]
- it is easier to teach authors simple rules to create correct content, as opposed to today's mess of you can do x, but not y if you've done x ...
- 14:45:42 [Yves]
- anne: it depends on the issue, as always it's only on a case-by-case basis
- 14:46:03 [mjs]
- glazou: I'm sure the standards are way more thorough, but the technical complexity is much less - 120v tri-phase could be described sufficiently on one page with some equations
- 14:46:09 [anne]
- Yves, I suppose, but if the standards don't get implemented they're not really standards imo

- 14:50:15 [Yves]
- anne: do you mean that when a std is reasonnably well implemented at time T, then a popular implementation at T+10 years starts implementing the same std badly proves that the spec was bad from day one? It may be then that another std is needed.

- Molly asks for the TAG (or someone) to make a top-down effort to make more consistency between specs ... but does that mesh with allowing WGs to be more autonomous. ... hmmm . ther is no free coorination. CGs are suppoosed to work in a less centralized way, the TAG watches out for cracks.

- oh oh, we lost the captioner
- 14:52:27 [MikeSmith]
- amen to what MSM said about if "non-dominant browsers decide NOT to be bug-compatible ... users complain" -- that's the market reality that drives browser vendors ... if a user can get to broken/non-conforming site in browser A but not in browser B, then as far as the user is concerned, browser B is broken and he/she will switch to using browser A instead (at least to get to that site)

- 14:56:03 [rigo]
- anne: but after all you generate remarks like the one from hsivonen, where the market does not come together to get consensus on a solution, but where some magicien runs after some cats to write down where the cats currently are .. ;)
- 14:56:05 [KevinLawver]
- There is also a HUGE difference between: the standard, the implementations, and then the best practices. I think the conversation gets confused when we don't call the three out.
- 14:56:06 [fantasai]
- ivan: it would have to be done in conjunction with the community,
- 14:56:08 [DanC_lap]
- yes, connecting W3C to curriculum development is a goal of mine
- 14:56:13 [kenny]

- 14:57:13 [DanC_lap]

- 14:57:38 [DanC_lap]

- 14:57:42 [tantek]

- 14:57:44 [s-mon]
- who lives n the "real world".
- 14:57:44 [anne]
- rigo, I think I'm missing your point
- 14:57:51 [Hixie]
- i don't think molly's answer answered the question
- 14:57:57 [hsivonen]
- you can't deploy in the real world if browser competition has not resulted in something to deploy on
- 14:58:28 [rigo]
- anne: yes it is coming together, but we are talking about the gap (and time-lag) between market and specification and how to fill that gap
- 14:58:31 [karl]
- "My real world is not yours"
- 14:58:50 [anne]
- rigo, not wait for Recommendation level with implementing
- 14:58:53 [anne]
- we're already doing that
- 14:59:00 [shepazu]
- my real world includes Joost and intranets and set-top boxes

- today. It has four parts:
- 15:00:13 [raman]
-
- 15:00:16 [MikeSmith]
- kenny - If a spec is intended to be a precise and unambiguous functional specification for implementors, it probably can't also be made easier to read for designers.

- glad to hear Rich feels his time collaborating with W3C was well spent!
- 15:42:00 [kenny]
- appologies for the previous two messages. it was a unsuccessful attempt at clearing the screen.
- 15:42:10 [DanC_lap]
- RS: I'd like to see the two groups merge.
- 15:42:16 [Hixie]
- html5 is not looking to tomorrow?
- 15:42:19 [anne]
- WHATWG: http://www.whatwg.org/ W3C HTML WG: http://www.w3.org/html/
- 15:42:33 [Marcos]
- HTML5 should stop living in the past :P
- 15:43:13 [John_Boyer]
- Good to innovate on html, but never understood why not contribute to the W3C working group?
- 15:43:29 [mjs]
- the strongest objections I've heard to HTML5 are to remove the forward-looking parts like <canvas> and <video>
- 15:43:39 [anne]
- John_Boyer, because that proposal was initially denied
- 15:43:48 [anne]
- John_Boyer, during that workshop, it was voted down
- 15:43:51 [anne]
- we're doing it now though
- 15:43:57 [Marcos]
- and I'm sure the offline stuff will probably get objections too
- 15:43:58 [mjs]
- or the parsing spec which ends the death spiral of bug compatibility reverse engineering
- 15:44:00 [tlr]
- tlr has joined #tp
- 15:44:02 [DanC_lap]
- I think the HTML 5 spec does reasonably well re consuming content, but I'll say again I'm recuriting tutorial writers, to help authors
- 15:44:07 [John_Boyer]
- Denied by whom?

- 15:44:38 [kenny]
- is html going to be phased out eventually in favour of xhtml?
- 15:44:43 [glazou]
- do you have any idea how many times we said that the successor to html 4 has to be built upon html 4 itself ?
- 15:44:54 [MikeSmith]
- bravo hsivonen
- 15:45:01 [mjs]
- I already know I agree with Henri :-)
- 15:45:11 [anne]
- that's my excuse too :)
- 15:45:23 [Marcos]
- me three :)
- 15:45:46 [MikeSmith]
- Al: "WAP1 was a scandalous failure"
- 15:45:50 [raman]
- a good reflection of why there has been such poor communication across the different camps in this debate. Each person believes he is right and knows the answer alas
- 15:45:52 [glazou]
- John_Boyer: the problem was not on the contributors' side, but on the WG side
- 15:46:02 [DanC_lap]
- I don't think "html 5 for authors" needs to be a book-length tome; maybe it's planethtml5, an edited journal of authoring techinques. (a la a list apart)
- 15:46:21 [clc4tts]
- the captioning is really bad
- 15:46:22 [glazou]
- raman: belief ? right ? can you please tell me where is xhtml 2 on the web ATM ?

- 15:46:31 [John_Boyer]
- If one is *within* the working group, then one gets a vote on how it proceeds, so it's only a problem within the WG if you have a priori decided not to join it.
- 15:46:45 [Rich]

- Keep it Real
- 15:50:22 [karl]
- MikeSmith: I will solve the real world trouble you are just at my left side. If you hear screaming, I just punched MikeSmith
- 15:50:59 [molly]
- I ask for good reasons - if that way of articulating the issue doesn't express well, that's helpful to know for future conversations
- 15:51:35 [karl]
- molly: it is just that real world has no real shared meaning across Web people
- 15:51:43 [DanC_lap]
- "real problems" ... is that still in the TOC? reminds me of "real world", an attack phrase as I noted above
- 15:52:06 [molly]
- what would be better terminology? Suggestions welcome!
- 15:52:08 [shepazu]
- "don't do error handling at all"?
- 15:52:11 [KevinLawver]
- It's the Ivory Tower vs The Plebes! Let them eat markup!
- 15:52:13 [Hixie]
- yeah tim! you didn't define error handling! :-)
- 15:52:30 [DanC_lap]
- hmm... yes, it's still in the TOC. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/principles/#solve-real-problems

- kenny, no, it would simply raise barriers to authoring = fewer authors, less content
- 15:53:37 [Bert]
- "The real world" is "my world" for every instance of "my" in this crowd.
- 15:53:41 [mjs]
- css has fault tolerance as a conformance requirement
- 15:54:11 [KevinLawver]
- I expected more boxing gloves for this panel.
- 15:54:13 [shepazu]
- SVG has well-defined error handling (though not perfect... still need to fill in the cracks)
- 15:54:24 [Hixie]
- IanJ: for parsing, for instance, the first implementation of the error handling is html5lib, which is not a browser tool
- 15:54:40 [shepazu]
- CSS has error-handling (though not implemented universally)
- 15:54:45 [molly]
- I agree with Tantek on that. There has to be a way to address Mom's desire to post something to her site versus company XYZ's need to have highly secure, manageable documents
- 15:55:06 [mjs]
- validation should be on the authoring end, not the content consumption end
- 15:55:14 [KevinLawver]
- Molly, that's why we need better authoring tool, and have things like HTML tidy.
- 15:55:18 [tantek]

- 15:55:57 [IanJ]
- I haven't looked closely at the error-handling bits in html 5.
- 15:56:23 [mjs]
- HTML5 has split document and UA conformance
- 15:56:26 [IanJ]
- Just wondering (in my ignorance) how it is going describing error handling in a way that works across big spectrum of apps.
- 15:56:27 [shepazu]
- tantek: sorry, can you explain the "fragile content" attitude?
- 15:56:30 [karl]
- molly: about terminology. "real world" is a way to ostracize people then it creates a community. More than just talking about "issue to solve".
- 15:56:36 [tantek]
- shepazu: XML
- 15:56:38 [KevinLawver]
- Molly, if that's true, then your mom needs to master the tol...
- 15:56:41 [KevinLawver]
- tool, even.
- 15:57:04 [molly]
- Karl, well, for the misuse of terminology I apologize, but I do think the points remain clear
- 15:57:21 [molly]
- and I have tens of thousands of people to point to as examples worldwide
- 15:57:29 [Hixie]
- ht: again just looking at the parsing/syntax section, http://whatwg.org/html5/section-writing0.html is the language, and http://whatwg.org/html5/section-parsing.html
- 15:57:29 [IanJ]
- Does the error-handling go beyond parsing?
- 15:57:30 [herve_]
- herve_ has joined #tp
- 15:57:31 [shepazu]
- tantek: ah, ok... a little spinny, but point taken
- 15:57:39 [Hixie]
- ht: ...is the error handling algorithm
- 15:57:51 [Hixie]
- IanJ: yeah
- 15:57:53 [tantek]
- fragile = error->stop processing
- 15:57:53 [IanJ]
- ok
- 15:58:04 [Hixie]
- IanJ: though it's more obvious in the parsing section
- 15:58:19 [IanJ]
- thanks Hixie
- 15:58:37 [aurelien_levy]
- hi
- 15:58:51 [raman]
- HST's question is not being answered.
- 15:58:52 [shepazu]
- tantek: yes, that restriction could be loosened up in a defined way
- 15:58:54 [IanJ]
- parsing seems like a good area for generic error handling.
- 15:58:55 [ChrisL]
- as opposed to fragile = silent error recovery and thus error accumulation until one small change breaks rendering mysteriously, type of fragiility
- 15:58:58 [IanJ]
- my guess is rendering is not as much.
- 15:59:40 [karl]
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#parsing
- 15:59:41 [tantek]
- ChrisL - one of those has succeeded on the Web, the other has failed.
- 15:59:44 [Hixie]
- IanJ: e.g. search for "invalid value default". there's also cases where the error handling is automaticly implied by the way the algorithms work
- 16:00:00 [Hixie]
- IanJ: e.g. "take the first foo element" handles the error of what if there are two foo elements
- 16:00:01 [MikeSmith]
- couldn't hear the organization who the current questioner is from ...
- 16:00:13 [Hixie]
- IanJ: (as opposed to "take the foo element", which is ambiguous)
- 16:00:19 [dsinger]
- glenn adams, representing samsung (though his own company is xsfi)
- 16:00:21 [mjs]
- IanJ: it's layered - there's a way to parse even erroneous token streams into a DOM, and a way to render even erroneous DOMs
- 16:00:25 [karl]
- interesting the discussion has became meta
- 16:00:29 [ChrisL]
- Tantek - I would argue which one failed. you mean you never edited a page and got an unexpected result that seemed unrelated to what you just changed?
- 16:00:32 [karl]
- about error handling
- 16:00:47 [karl]
- it is almost a general discussion about all W3C technologies
- 16:00:55 [karl]
- s/W3C//
- 16:01:06 [MikeSmith]
- Glenn Adams from Samsung?
- 16:01:24 [mjs]
- MSM: there are ~30 billion HTML documents targeted for display to end users on the public web
- 16:01:25 [dbaron]
- I think the problem was that error handling wasn't defined, not whether or not the error handling was liberal.
- 16:01:26 [tantek]
- ChrisL - any sufficiently complex system will produce unexpected results.
- 16:01:39 [mjs]
- MSM: I think XML is quite a few orders of magnitude off from that
- 16:01:42 [dom]
- +1 to dbaron
- 16:02:04 [raman]
- who will specify the errors in the implementation of the error handling?
- 16:02:05 [MSM]
- mjs, yes -- targeted for one specific use -- and not easily reusable, precisely because people have abused Postel's Law
- 16:02:41 [mjs]
- MSM: "people consuming documents and applications" seems like a pretty broad use to me
- 16:02:44 [tantek]
- it's the difference between the CSS parsing methodology towards error handling vs. the XML parsing methodology towards error handling.
- 16:03:00 [mjs]
- as far as I'm concerned it is *the* use, everything else is implementation details for that
- 16:03:06 [tantek]
- MUST recover vs. MUST fail.
- 16:03:24 [tantek]
- recovery = adoption. failure = abandonment.
- 16:03:27 [PHB]
- If you didn't want xml to resync automatically, why have te start tag repeated in the end tag?
- 16:03:51 [PHB]
- <p> stuff </p> has no point unless you want </p> to allow for resync
- 16:03:54 [MSM]
- [Repeating an off-the-log comment: responding to a remark of Tantek's. I think you get a more pervasive form of fragility from divergent and inconsistent approaches to error recovery -- I note that in the XML community, it has never been necessary to charter a WG to run after the implementations to find out how they do error recovery, so that authors can figure out which errors they must fix and which they can safely leave4 in place.]
- 16:04:15 [DanC_lap]
- re postels law, we just need somebody to take the "be conservative about what you produce" part of the HTML 5 spec and tune it to the authoring audience
- 16:04:27 [raman]
- real world again.
- 16:04:37 [molly]
- "real world" content
- 16:04:39 [DanC_lap]
- and some help from some popular authoring tools like dreamweaver
- 16:05:02 [raman]
- haven't seen imaginary world content ... what does it look like? if you know, then it cant be imaginary;-)
- 16:05:06 [Liam]
- phb - it turns out that </> makes it very ahrd for humans to fix faulty documents
- 16:05:07 [ChrisL]
- phb - you are correct that having the name in the end tag allows better error pinpointing. The aim was to make it easier to fix by the author, not by auto-guessing in the browser
- 16:05:21 [karl]
- DanC_lap: agreed. An authoring document can/should be stricter than the parsing section
- 16:05:27 [raman]
- complex content must have an imaginary part, otherwise it wouldn't be complex, it would be real;-)
- 16:05:33 [shepazu]
- raman: it's the Platonic Ideal of Content
- 16:05:38 [tantek]
- MSM, optimizing for chartering or not a WG, or for adoption of the technology by maximum # of authors? I choose the latter.
- 16:05:43 [Marcos]
- "reality"
- 16:05:48 [DanC_lap]
- no, the technical content should be the same... or the same negotiation, karl. but the document audiences are different
- 16:06:02 [MikeSmith]
- Melinda Grant from HP
- 16:06:27 [IanJ]
- MG: "Will browsers of the future support both html5 and xhtml2?"
- 16:06:28 [molly]
- with a real world question
- 16:06:31 [molly]
- badumpump!
- 16:06:33 [Bert]
- (Not sure </> makes it hard to fix errors, but </foo> makes it hard to avoid errors.)
- 16:06:35 [IanJ]
- MG: "If not, what are the implications?"
- 16:06:49 [MSM]
- PHB, there was a longish discussion of whether to allow empty end-tags, during the design of XML 1.0. The browser vendors eventually got on their knees and begged the WG to specify draconian error handling, because (they argued) the alternative was the same kind of race to the bottom that was visible in HTML.
- 16:07:16 [karl]
- DanC_lap: ;) not sure about that. I can say hey author you should write <strong class="strict">boo</strong>, and say to browsers You have to be ready to understand clumsy people who write <strong class=strict>boo</strong>
- 16:07:21 [Marcos]
- hehe
- 16:07:22 [MSM]
- Tantek, I have never regarded popularity as the true test of truth, beauty, or technical utility. YMMV.
- 16:07:31 [KevinLawver]
- Melinda Grant is my hero.
- 16:07:42 [tantek]
- MSM - evolution would disagree with you.
- 16:07:55 [tantek]
- as would the market
- 16:08:19 [tantek]
- also, popularity = accessibility to more authors.
- 16:08:28 [MSM]
- Tantek, and this means what? Evolution is hardly guaranteed to produce truth, beauty, technical quality, or progress.
- 16:08:42 [tantek]
- evolution has very much produced progress

- 16:08:47 [Lachy_]
- many of the good ideas in XHTML2 have been introduced in HTML5 already
- 16:08:51 [tantek]
- and produces quality, if incrementally, through iteration
- 16:09:03 [Lachy_]
- the rest can be mostly ignored, IMHO
- 16:09:13 [DanC_lap]
- yes, karl, that's what I'm saying
- 16:09:16 [Hixie]
- Rich: i assure you that all innovations developed by the xhtml2wg as well as other wgs (e.g. xforms) are closely studied by the html5 contributors and we've taken many ideas already (e.g. <section>)
- 16:09:16 [mjs]

- (I hate the fact that IRC defaults to : for direct address, after the chicago manual of style and such set the standard)
- 16:10:33 [MSM]

- art or music that wasn't in some way derivative would just be confusing
- 16:11:42 [DanC_lap]
- if you want to see music built upon previous music, I think I'm going to play guitar and ask people to sing along at an HTML WG unconference break-out
- 16:12:01 [karl]
- eeek discussing philosophy on IRC is like discussing politics drunk in a bar
- 16:12:03 [MSM]
- Is spam really the highest quality of email? It seems to be what email has evolved to, and it's way more common that real email.
- 16:12:09 [tantek]
- DanC - really sorry I would miss that ;)
- 16:12:29 [karl]
- +1 to glazou!!!!
- 16:12:31 [DanC_lap]
- lessig said "I can't sing..." and then told a powerful story; well, I can play guitar, and I've got some excellent singers coming along
- 16:12:37 [tantek]
- MSM email is obsolete ;)

- editor vendors and CMS vendors on the HTML WG
- 16:12:51 [KevinLawver]
- +10 to glazou
- 16:13:00 [John_Boyer]
- +100 to need for editing tools need
- 16:13:01 [mjs]
- Apple is an editor vendor
- 16:13:05 [DanC_lap]
- yes, CMS folks... I need head/@profile support in CMS tools
- 16:13:21 [mjs]
- Mail, Dashcode, iWeb, Aperture, Safari itself...
- 16:13:27 [glazou]
- mjs: so have your editing solution implement html 5 when safari is ready for html 5 too
- 16:13:29 [glazou]
- :)
- 16:13:39 [DanC_lap]
- ah... that reminds me, mjs... the apple mailer doesn't support hyperlink authoring
- 16:13:56 [MSM]
- ah. It would seem then that evolution and popularity are the test of quality sometimes, but not all the time? Is it off base to suggest they are the test of quality when you like their results, but not when you don't?
- 16:14:14 [DanC_lap]
- what is the test of quality, MSM?
- 16:14:30 [mjs]
- DanC_lap: Leopard version does
- 16:14:37 [DanC_lap]
- gold star, mjs
- 16:14:39 [mjs]
- DanC_lap: I don't know about Tiger, haven't run it in a while
- 16:14:44 [MSM]
- I'll borrow Tantek's approach, and say that for some authors, invalid HTML that makes you care about browsers' error recovery strategies is simply obsolete. You don't have to care about it any more. Freedom is just a decision you have to make.
- 16:14:51 [mjs]
- Edit > Link > Add...
- 16:14:57 [DanC_lap]
- tantek, I hope we get to jam sometime. bummer indeed that you're not here this time.
- 16:15:08 [Lachy_]
- the things Stephen is talking about can be done in HTML5, XHTML2 isn't needed for that stuff
- 16:15:30 [tantek]
- MSM, you actually don't. Author valid POSH and browsers will handle it just fine.
- 16:15:38 [karl]
- mjs: why people from iWeb are not participating to the WG
- 16:15:44 [Marcos]
- why author in xhtml2 to serve as html? why not just use html for the whole process?
- 16:15:48 [cblouch]
- Part of evolution is natural selection where some new branches turn out to be bad and die
- 16:15:55 [Hixie]
- the first hit for "ebay xhtml2" on google is an e-mail i wrote. sheesh. -_-
- 16:15:57 [glazou]
- cblouch: exactly
- 16:16:06 [mjs]
- karl: too busy typing?
- 16:16:08 [raman]
- hear hear!
- 16:16:21 [MikeSmith]
- Marcos - perhaps because it attempts to provide another level of abstraction
- 16:16:28 [mjs]
- karl: I will note that I specifically and the Safari team in general talks a lot to other teams at Apple that do web-technology-relevant things
- 16:16:29 [raman]
- hear hear to what Steven said I meant
- 16:16:32 [John_Boyer]
- Unfortunately, the above comment from Marcos is the same as saying that the things Steven is talking about can be done in machine language, so no need for a higher level language.
- 16:16:34 [MSM]
- Tantek, one question that then arises is "Why have a WG worrying about an obsolete problem that no one actually needs to care about?"
- 16:16:34 [MikeSmith]
- ... the last part of what Steven mentioned
- 16:16:39 [shepazu]
- Steven++
- 16:16:41 [molly]
- my question is why isn't he on this panel???
- 16:16:43 [karl]
- mjs: having *real world* authoring tools developers on the group would be more than welcome
- 16:16:56 [John_Boyer]
- +1 molly
- 16:16:56 [karl]
- ooops I did it again
- 16:17:07 [tantek]
- I actually agree with Steven's point. It is worth encouraging various different approaches, and testing them against the market.
- 16:17:08 [s-mon]
- oh karl.
- 16:17:13 [aaronlev]
- someone representing xhtml2 should be on the panel
- 16:17:14 [s-mon]
- :^)
- 16:17:19 [shepazu]
- well stated, Steven
- 16:17:19 [karl]
- ;)
- 16:17:27 [Marcos]
- John_Boyer, MikeSmith, I don't disagree, I'm just asking.
- 16:17:30 [s-mon]
- +1 Steven.
- 16:17:35 [raman]
- good question: why wasnt Steven on the panel? it's a symptom of the larger problem within the W3C. we've spent six years standing on the "xml" leg; now, we're standing on the "html" leg, and the xml leg is not fashionable any more ...
- 16:17:36 [molly]
- Karl, I'm going to hit you later. I promise.
- 16:17:46 [glazou]
- karl: is that for me ?-)
- 16:17:57 [molly]
- raman: I asked Steven and he said he had no idea why he wasn't on the panel
- 16:17:59 [tantek]
- MSM, perhaps ask the WG - I think browser vendors care about handling invalid HTML. Modern web designers however, are doing just fine authoring valid POSH.
- 16:18:06 [John_Boyer]
- marcos, Steven answered your question though with the anecdote about reducing development time from 150 person years to 10
- 16:18:11 [shepazu]
- raman: he wasn't on the panel because we wanted this to be a member-driven panel, no W3C Team members
- 16:18:13 [ChrisL]
- molly, I was surprised that Steven was not on the panel, given the title and all
- 16:18:32 [ChrisL]
- ... although DanC is also not on the panel
- 16:18:32 [Marcos]
- There are plenty of chairs up on the stage, maybe he could go and sit up there?
- 16:18:51 [mjs]
- defining how to handle invalid content is important given the huge amount of existing content on the web and the need to support casual authors
- 16:18:52 [MikeSmith]
- molly - original plan was to not have anybody from the W3C team on the panel
- 16:18:53 [karl]
- glazou: you are one of the rare on the group
- 16:18:55 [John_Boyer]
- shepazu, Roland Merrick is co-chair and not a team member
- 16:18:58 [anne]
- ChrisL, supposedly it's about people in the industry
- 16:19:01 [aaronlev]
- shepazu: why isn't there anyone at all representing xhtml2 though
- 16:19:02 [karl]
- not enough unfortunately
- 16:19:06 [mjs]
- you have to support these things as a loss leader for supporting standards-compliant content
- 16:19:07 [John_Boyer]
- perhaps you should have invited him and Chris Wilson
- 16:19:17 [MSM]
- Raman, it's OK, many XML people are used to making technical decisions based on their technical judgement, and not worrying overmuch about fashion. (Not all, of course, and it's not much fun to be held up as among the World's Worst Dressed. But we can bear being unfashionable, because the technology works for us.)
- 16:19:20 [raman]
- I think the view Steven represents is best articulated by him and losing him because he is a team member is just wrong.
- 16:19:23 [Bert]
- I'm sure if Steven were on the panel, people would complain about it being always the same people on the same panels.
- 16:19:29 [glazou]
- karl: apple has an editor, msft has web expression, adobe has dw
- 16:19:32 [shepazu]
- John_Boyer: I mean for this panel, not all of them
- 16:19:32 [Marcos]
- John_boyer, who is you?
- 16:19:41 [dbaron]
- Those public sites may claim to be XHTML, but they're actually serving XHTML as HTML.
- 16:19:46 [John_Boyer]
- Forms WG Chair and XForms editor
- 16:19:52 [John_Boyer]
- Also not a team member...
- 16:19:52 [MikeSmith]
- was a mistake to not have Steven on the panel I think
- 16:19:56 [shepazu]
- aaronlev: because the guy who was going to be up there had to cancel
- 16:19:58 [karl]
- glazou: yes, but not represented in the group unfortunately
- 16:20:10 [raman]
- if W3Cwere dynamic and agile, we would add Steven to panel *now*;-)
- 16:20:15 [glazou]
- karl: old story
- 16:20:19 [shepazu]
- Rich is on the XHTML2 WG
- 16:20:19 [raman]
- as someone pointed out there are chairs there.
- 16:20:19 [John_Boyer]
- +1000 Raman!
- 16:20:27 [MSM]
- raman++
- 16:20:29 [molly]
- Go Raman!
- 16:20:38 [aaronlev]
- i agree with raman for once
- 16:20:42 [Marcos]
- Steven, get up there ;)
- 16:20:43 [karl]
- I want dreamweaver (adobe) on the HTML WG.
- 16:20:48 [raman]
- Go Steven Go
- 16:20:50 [ted]
- ted has left #tp
- 16:20:58 [ChrisL]
- Remember that we are missing a panel member (who uses xhtml2 in his business to server to multiple mobile targets) so it was intended to have a commercial, industry user
- 16:20:59 [glazou]
- karl: ping our old friend sho kuwamoto ?
- 16:21:19 [cwiecha]
- or just have all these panel participants sit down and have a conversation among the community
- 16:21:32 [Bert]
- dynamic, agile, without focus and unprepared, yes :-)
- 16:21:39 [karl]
- glazou: I don't know sho kuwamoto but would be happy to be put in contact.
- 16:21:54 [glazou]
- karl: but he could give us a name
- 16:22:02 [ChrisL]
- karl, I know sho but haven't seen him around in nearly a decade
- 16:22:24 [tantek]
- sacrificing accessibility of authoring for accessibility of reading = fewer people authoring = fail.

- I'm going to go home and write a ruby on rail app that creates xhtml2 and then use XSLT to transform it to HTML :P
- 16:23:03 [raman]
- Agree with lachie for a change, ARIA is a papering over the pig solution
- 16:23:03 [shepazu]
- Lachy_: I don't think you understand ARIA, then
- 16:23:17 [aaronlev]
- Lachy_: it's a little more complicated than that
- 16:23:23 [steph]
- Lachy_, raman: is it better not to have a solution at all? :)
- 16:23:30 [ChrisL]
- Marcos, a similar app that converted xhtml2 to html5 would actually be a very nice thing. Care to give it a go?
- 16:23:33 [raman]
- history teaches that such patches survive longer than they deserve to
- 16:23:38 [ted]

- ARIA is the analogue of low-level accessibility API
- 16:23:48 [anne]
- yeah
- 16:23:54 [mjs]
- many high-level toolkits provide built-in AX
- 16:23:55 [Lachy_]
- I understand ARIA just fine. It's just not something that's really well designed for authors to use
- 16:24:04 [anne]
- which is problematic, because authors in general don't care
- 16:24:08 [aaronlev]
- raman: we should remove as much of the need for ARIA as we can, but we still need it
- 16:24:16 [Keeper]
- Keeper has joined #tp
- 16:24:18 [anne]
- makes sense to support it anyway though, at least as short-term solution
- 16:24:30 [raman]

- Are a preponderance of "authors" creating widgets from scratch and therefore need to understand ARIA implementation?
- 16:26:20 [raman]
- aaron, as long as accessibility defines itself as "stopping people doing useful things" you'll fail. I dont live in that world.
- 16:26:21 [Steven]

- 16:26:44 [aaronlev]
- raman: you can innovate and be accessible
- 16:26:55 [Lachy_]
- having constraint-based conformance in the spec would be useful for authors, not for implementers
- 16:27:02 [steph]
- development by constraints would probably achieve more consistent end results
- 16:27:11 [dbaron]
- I think constraints vs. algorithms depends on which is simpler / easier to understand for the particular case.
- 16:27:12 [mjs]
- it's hard to write enough constraints to be as specific as an algorithm in terms of conformance requirements
- 16:27:17 [steph]
- there could always be suggested algorithms
- 16:27:22 [mjs]
- depends on for what
- 16:27:23 [Hixie]

- 16:27:55 [dbaron]
- In the particular case of table width balancing, it was simple to describe as a linear combination of bracketing value sets.
- 16:27:55 [MikeSmith]
- matt - is mjs still eligible for wild-card slot for those talks?
- 16:28:15 [matt]
- It's been filled up for weeks and weeks...
- 16:28:20 [MikeSmith]
- OK
- 16:28:23 [matt]
- okay, maybe not weeks and weeks,but a while now :)
- 16:28:42 [Bert]
- Constraints is a way of thinking that some people like, others can't get their head around it. We've got both constraints and algorithms in the CSS spec, dpeending on who wrote that section...

- 16:29:37 [tantek]
- it's not a matter of "should". it's a matter of how "view source"able a technology affects its adoption.
- 16:29:43 [DanC_lap]

- it's sufficiently on-topic for my tastes, mjs. I'm sure my co-chair will agree. cool.
- 16:30:40 [Lachy_]
- how long will the lightning talks go for?
- 16:30:44 [glazou]
- someone has my lightning talk countdown page on stage ?
- 16:30:46 [mjs]
- Hixie: mainly a way to have toggles that expose a pseudo-class for CSS styling but can contain arbitrary content
- 16:31:03 [mauro]
- Lachy_, scheduled to last half an hour
- 16:31:12 [mattmay]
- mattmay has joined #tp
- 16:31:17 [DanC_lap]
- how much time, mjs? is 20 minutes good? more? less?
- 16:31:20 [mjs]
- Hixie: because :hover and :active cover a lot of animation triggers without script, but toggle is also a very common case that shouldn't require script
- 16:31:24 [mjs]
- DanC_lap: less!
- 16:31:27 [dom]

- @tt well, not in my neighborhood except on the summer solstice
- 16:38:53 [KevinLawver]
- This is a thunder talk. It's rolling instead of flashing. 8)
- 16:38:54 [DanC_lap]
- the slides seem to be pdf; I doubt they're in the world-readable web; maybe matt can mail them to www-archive real quick?
- 16:39:10 [IanJ]
- Raman summary: Two measures of success of std - people can build on it; people can do more than what you set out to do initially.
- 16:39:28 [Steven]
- Reality is blue skies and clouds and birds singing, wind in your hair, a ride on your bike.
- 16:39:29 [MikeSmith]
- If the world of public URLs is your only reality, you are missing a lot of important use cases and requirements
- 16:39:37 [tantek]
- let's take it one step further. if it's not on the public Web, in an open standard indexed by search engines, does it really exist?
- 16:39:49 [MikeSmith]
- tantek - yes
- 16:39:52 [mjs]
- private uses of web technologies are interesting, but much harder to talk about meaningfully, since by definition we can't really know their properties

- mjs there is no absolute objectivity. The best we can ever do to approximate objectivity is sum as many subjective opinions as possible.

- mjs - I don't have an answer for that. But pretending they don't exist is not a solution.

- 16:42:49 [mjs]

- no, she now has a trout.
- 16:43:56 [Bert]

- mjs - I agree it's hard. It is a challenge to even get working-group participation from small-shop developers who are creating web apps for deployment in intranets and extranets for clients
- 16:44:42 [glazou]
- two french wet trouts is a synonym to french bureaucracy
- 16:44:57 [MikeSmith]
- because they already think we are way out of touch with their business concerns

- 16:53:21 [tantek]
- go TBL - reductio yeah!
- 16:53:33 [sandro]
- that's actually a good reason: .mobi is a way to signal people that it's worth trying to access on their mobile phone. once every site is mobile is happy, then it will be obsolete. [ of course, then TimBL advocates .nxxx, wai, .lang, too show the site is good with those standards.... :-) ]

- "But I don't want _any_ Spam."

- That was good
- 17:00:04 [ChrisWilson]
- I don't like spam!
- 17:00:05 [KevinLawver]
- Wait... he has to then get the search engines to not index and apply those links to their algorithms and explain to my mom (there she is) what the heck RDFa is.
- 17:00:07 [tantek]
- nope, RDFa solution for "stopping link spam" will fail for the same reason rel="nofollow" was not really effective.
- 17:00:15 [Liam]
- Lachy_: yes, rel=nofollow and also HTML comments to turn on and off search-engine indexing for fragments of a page.
- 17:00:18 [tantek]
- link spamming is directed at search engines *and* users
- 17:00:21 [DanC_lap]
- Lachy, PHB is not a dreamer. he lives in criminal drek.
- 17:00:30 [tantek]

- 17:01:18 [mjs]
- constraint-based descriptions are harder to implement
- 17:01:31 [mjs]
- it's true that the constraints lead directly to some obvious tests
- 17:01:32 [PHB]
- rel=nofoloow is not a solution to linkspam
- 17:01:36 [mjs]
- but not necessarily more subtle tests
- 17:01:38 [anne]

- 17:01:51 [mjs]
- it's easier for something constraint-based to have loopholes or ambiguities
- 17:01:57 [anne]
- I have no experience with implementing constraint-based specifications
- 17:01:59 [PHB]
- rel=nofollow is a procedural statement, we need to go declarative
- 17:02:05 [fantasai]
- anne: But I can tell you which one gives you better tests and better understanding by the people who write tests, write pages, and report bugs
- 17:02:06 [mjs]
- raman, ultimately, the CPU runs an algorithm
- 17:02:13 [tlr]
- e.g., http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-canonicalization-comments/2007Oct/0000.html
- 17:02:37 [mjs]
- the layout engines I know about aren't implemented much like the canonical idea of a constraint solver, but that's neither here nor there
- 17:02:39 [raman]
- but specifying it using constraints allows one to implement it as efficiently as one is capable of.
- 17:02:47 [anne]
- fantasai, you're the first to make that remark
- 17:02:54 [tantek]
- PHB: rel="nofollow" indicates a semantic. see http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-nofollow
- 17:02:57 [mjs]
- oh I should also mention that it's easier for a constraint-based definition to be unimplementable
- 17:02:58 [anne]
- although maybe we should ask the people making the HTML 5 tests how they feel about this
- 17:03:08 [fantasai]
- mjs: true, but they are implemented in different ways: an algorithm-based for CSS would be ridiculous
- 17:03:15 [PHB]
- Knowing who posted a comment allows us to use Slashdot style karma techniques
- 17:03:15 [anne]
- (other than myself)
- 17:03:25 [hsivonen]
- fantasai, constraits don't cover error recovery (at least usually)
- 17:03:25 [ed]
- raman: what's stopping you from implementing a more efficient algorithm as long as it delivers the same result? at least there is a reference to compare with
- 17:03:30 [ChrisWilson]
- time's up.
- 17:03:32 [mjs]
- raman, requirements stated as algorithms are implicitly "as if", typically
- 17:03:40 [fantasai]
- hsivonen: I'm not saying everything should be written as constraints
- 17:03:48 [PHB]
- tantek, nofollow sure sounds like an order to me.
- 17:03:53 [mjs]
- fantasai, and the constraint rules for floats in CSS aren't ridiculous?
- 17:03:56 [fantasai]
- hsivonen: but where it's possible and practical, I believe that is the better system.
- 17:03:58 [tlr]
- mjs, the conclusion from your point about implementability above is to insist on a proof of existence

- 18:52:10 [dsinger]
- I make sausages at home and it is at least as much fun as making standards
- 18:52:17 [ChrisWilson]
- tantek, i didn't make a statement that they SHOULDN'T be made in the open. (Note I'm co-chair of the most open W3C WG.) I said the process may seem disgusting.
- 18:52:19 [dsinger]
- and much more visua;
- 18:52:20 [tlr]
- The quote is actually not a good argument against transparency.
- 18:52:24 [raman]
- authoring web sites shouldn't feel like making sausages either
- 18:52:34 [tantek]
- Bismarck is basically being patronizing - "trust us, we know what we're doing, you don't need to know" - an obsolete attitude.

- Sniffles can certainly speak to that issue
- 19:27:31 [KevinLawver]
- Poulet or the huevo?
- 19:27:39 [tantek]
- molly, that's because WaSP held too tight a control
- 19:27:42 [rigo]
- tantek, so lets hire the EU Commission translation service just for one week
- 19:27:44 [caribou]
- Specification translations are done by volunteers
- 19:27:46 [tantek]
- who could edit what etc.
- 19:27:55 [hsivonen]
- really people need language education so that they can communicate in English
- 19:27:57 [sniffles]
- you have an issue with maintaining changes when you translate
- 19:28:06 [rigo]
- tantek, would drain the budget of W3C for 2 years
- 19:28:09 [karl]
- plus the fact that spec -> translation -> people doesn't mean that feedback is coming back in a language easy to understand
- 19:28:09 [sniffles]
- and some times it also has to do with how english is written
- 19:28:25 [tantek]
- rigo - not sure how you conclude that

- again, when it's a voluntary effort, too, you have the need for editorial backup for accuracy
- 19:28:47 [hsivonen]
- translation is no substitute for learning the interoperable language
- 19:28:49 [caribou]
- (list for coordination)
- 19:28:51 [molly]
- just "making" a translation isn't sufficient
- 19:28:58 [tantek]
- molly, really? Wikipedia seems to do "ok"

- 19:29:30 [John_Boyer]
- access to 'private' conversations is by far not the only benefit of membership
- 19:29:40 [molly]
- Tantek quite the opposite
- 19:29:41 [Liam]
- it's about when "mediocre" is OK again.
- 19:29:48 [karl]
- hsivonen: scary real world you are proposing. Everyone with the same clothes, everyone with same car, everyone with the same idea. Everything is a lot more interoperable suddenly

- 19:30:52 [tantek]
- sniffles, of course it doesn't. that's why i said "ok"
- 19:30:56 [hsivonen]
- karl, well we are having this discussion in English as opposed to Finnish or French
- 19:31:03 [tantek]
- some translations > no translations due to editorial paranoia
- 19:31:21 [ChrisWilson]
- r12a, as the most multilingual person I know, have you ever found one worth a damn?
- 19:31:22 [molly]
- John, how about independents like myself? This trip is costing me a fortune, but here I am because the value of education and relationship and community is more than worth it
- 19:31:23 [John_Boyer]
- Back to subject matter experts, when you sit in a working group, you learn stuff from other experts that inherently gives you an advantage.
- 19:31:27 [karl]
- hsivonen: yes but not sure we understand each other ;)
- 19:31:40 [sniffles]
- tantek: well, fair enough
- 19:31:44 [John_Boyer]
- Yes, molly, it is worth it. Well said.
- 19:32:05 [chaals]
- karl, indeed
- 19:32:35 [molly]
- I'm not so sure I'd call it editorial paranoia
- 19:32:36 [John_Boyer]
- Also, in atttending the working group, you are there to represent the set of requirements that you know about from your own marketspace context.
- 19:32:40 [molly]
- one poor cultural mistake
- 19:32:42 [mjs]
- Apple has weird issues about public statements and no one's given me static for posting publicly on standards-related mailing lists

- sniffles, in fact, it seems that most arguments in this forum are between folks that push "good enough" 80/20 solutions, and those who would rather not have the 80 if it means they can't have the 20 also.
- 19:32:53 [mjs]
- if Apple's level of PR paranoia can handle it, I think any company can
- 19:33:01 [John_Boyer]
- And you learn an incredible amount about the overlapping marketspace context that others in your general area have.
- 19:33:44 [chaals]
- mjs, apple seems inclined to talk about HTML in the Patent-policy-free WHATWG in strong preference to the open list in the HTML-WG. Is this just a coincidence?
- 19:33:55 [John_Boyer]
- It really makes better specs to include the perspectives of multifarious participants... as long as everyone comes to the table with the understanding that their ideas *will* be morphed by a consensus process.
- 19:34:07 [r12a]
- chrisWilson, gist translation can sometimes help you decide what you need to read in more detail, but then it gets more complicated
- 19:34:11 [MikeSmith]
- 国際化
- 19:34:20 [charlton]
- tantek, there are other angles to the that
- 19:34:28 [KevinLawver]
- We need an interoperable definition of "brief"
- 19:34:29 [ChrisWilson]
- mjs, that's because no one has gone all National Enquirer on YOU yet. :)
- 19:34:39 [sniffles]
- tantek: that might be a bit of a binary summary :)
- 19:34:39 [molly]
- Bert uri?
- 19:34:41 [mjs]
- chaals: no, it's because barriers to posting on the WHATWG list are lower
- 19:34:49 [r12a]
- 国際化 = 'internationalization'
- 19:34:56 [mjs]
- chaals: Apple is subject to the patent policy regardless of where we comment afaict
- 19:34:57 [tantek]
- charlton the market prefers good solution iterated, rather than perfect solutions that never ship.
- 19:34:59 [Bert]
- Sorry, molly, the translation of the URI doesn't work yet :-)
- 19:35:04 [charlton]
- e.g. starting with 80/20 as a beta and proceeding with subsequent drops to manage that 20
- 19:35:08 [charlton]
- agreed, tantek

- IanJ, but the following your nose sadly doesn't work on the Web. it's got a broken nose ...
- 20:00:43 [IanJ]
- I believe Hixie found compelling the use of dns bits for disambiguation rather than full URIs, since shorter to write.
- 20:01:01 [marcos]
- marcos has joined #tp
- 20:01:28 [raman]
- part of the problem with long URIs is that the unique bits are at the end, and it's really bad from a human interface point of view.

- marcos has joined #tp
- 20:01:44 [amit]
- agree
- 20:01:52 [Hixie]
- IanJ, right, exactly
- 20:02:08 [Hixie]
- come to think of it, name="dc.title" is similar
- 20:02:10 [ChrisL]
- raman, we couldsolve that by typing the URI just once, and associating a short user-specified token to stand in its place and using that token as a prefix
- 20:02:13 [Hixie]
- the "dc" disambiguates it
- 20:02:17 [charlton]
- do the URIs need to be human-readable, raman?
- 20:02:17 [ChrisL]
- ... no wait, we already did that
- 20:02:21 [raman]
- The only reason I can write xml ns decls correctly is because emacspeak has a pronunciation dictionary that knows to pronounce the namespace URIs as shortnames ... if I find that useful, I assert it's valuable for more than just me.
- 20:02:24 [charlton]

- TBL: giving pointers, give context to things
- 20:02:33 [charlton]
- they are human-readable
- 20:02:38 [mjs]
- the problem with the URIs is that they are a magic string you have to look up to cut and paste every time
- 20:02:44 [Steven]
- dc=Dan Connolly, right ChrisL?
- 20:02:46 [mjs]
- much like doctype strings
- 20:02:52 [JerryCarter]
- that's what google is for (so you don't need to remember any URIs)
- 20:02:55 [Hixie]
- mjs: they're also long and hard to type

- 2. If microformats are developed without URIs which my code can look up and learn about at runtime, (microformat developers don't use GRDDL profiles) do I have to add new code to a client every time a new microformt is OK'd by Tantek? :-)
- 20:06:46 [KevinLawver]
- That's why microformats are supposed to have profiles. XMDP is a machine-parsable version of the microformat.

- Raman, good point.
- 20:07:26 [charlton]
- good show dom, excellent example
- 20:07:31 [tantek]
- two options perhaps:
- 20:07:33 [shepazu]
- dom, and the shortname is also shared with a technology... among other things
- 20:07:35 [factoryjoe]
- because of SREG and attribute exchange types in OpenID

- I'm reminded of the television URI scheme proposal. tv:abs obviously stands for one particular channel, right?... australian boroadcast corporation, perhaps

- ok, when you're a phone talking to your mum, and want to tell her how to your fav blogpost, how do you tell her?
- 20:08:52 [JerryCarter]
- URIs are like directions. They tell you how to get there, but it's not clear where you're going to end up until you've reached the destination.
- 20:08:54 [KevinLawver]
- DanC, if you want to use it, use a different profile URI.
- 20:08:57 [IanJ]
- DC: I think it's cost effective to put a profile at the top.
- 20:08:58 [tantek]
- very unlikely that anyone else will use "vevent"
- 20:09:18 [dom]
- vevent means "pretty" in polish

- 20:09:56 [ChrisL]
- tantek, lets consider audio events, video events - but video event is kinda long and has a space - how about aevent, vevent ...
- 20:10:10 [Lachy]
- regardless of whether microformats are declared with profile URIs or not, new code would have to be added to support them. I don't see how that issue is at all relevant to the question of whether or not profile URIs are useful

- hmm... anybody know how e4x compares to xquery?
- 21:04:27 [fantasai]
- that's really cool
- 21:04:28 [sniffles]
- jquery even does css3 selectors
- 21:04:28 [PHB]
- of CPL as well
- 21:04:28 [Steven]
- No, another B programming language
- 21:04:50 [gsnedders]
- To a lesser extent, the opinion can be seen in the HTML WG: You're view is the same as WHATWG, therefore you are infected with blindingly believing Hixie
- 21:05:24 [gsnedders]
- Oddly enough, most of the things got into the draft from consensus, so some of us actually agree with the things in it.
- 21:05:26 [ChrisWilson]
- oh, gsnedders, don't get me started with that, or I'll have to expound the opposing problem.
- 21:06:10 [molly]
- suddenly has a headache "infected with blindingly believing" anyone is an example of non self-reflexive thinking

- is e4x fully backward compatible with existing javascript?
- 21:06:40 [AaronGustafson]
- jQuery even implements :contains() which CSS3 seems to have dropped (ifi I understood that conversation correctly on Monday)
- 21:06:42 [Hixie]
- Lachy: except for comments, yes
- 21:06:50 [sniffles]
- hey AaronGustafson
- 21:06:52 [Hixie]
- Lachy: but it does screw up if you want <!-- --> comments in there
- 21:06:53 [notasausage]
- notasausage has joined #tp
- 21:06:58 [anne]
- does it support the internal subset?
- 21:07:01 [mjs]
- Lachy: it needs a mode switch in mozilla I think
- 21:07:03 [Lachy]
- ok
- 21:07:10 [raman]
- >isn't self reflexive?
- 21:07:11 [mjs]
- I dunno if that's only for reason of comments like Hixie mentions
- 21:07:13 [anne]
- and that Mozilla's support doesn't do DOM is sort of a showstopper imo
- 21:07:20 [Lachy]
- yeah, it needs text/javascript;e4x=1
- 21:07:24 [karl]
- talking about jQuery, John Resig was here around a few minutes ago
- 21:07:34 [mjs]
- the interesting script comparison is how it looks when manipulating a DOM
- 21:07:34 [AaronGustafson]
- hey sniffles
- 21:07:35 [ChrisWilson]
- AaronGustafson! Does the train have wireless, or are you home already?
- 21:07:38 [AaronGustafson]
- I'm on the train
- 21:07:42 [ferraiolo]
- Does JavaScript2 include support for E4X?
- 21:07:43 [AaronGustafson]
- I am on my phone
- 21:07:45 [mjs]
- which I think is not currently workable in any browser
- 21:07:50 [AaronGustafson]
- tethered to the laptop
- 21:08:00 [Hixie]
- yeah i don't know why mozilla hasn't implemented DOM() and XML() or whatever they're called
- 21:08:02 [JerryCarter]
- Lachy, ECMAScript 4 will include E4X natively. AFAIK, E4X can be bolted onto ECMAScript 3 without issue.
- 21:08:04 [Hixie]
- the spec defines how it should work
- 21:08:04 [Philip]
- anne: E4X doesn't do doctypes at all, as far as I remember
- 21:08:06 [mjs]
- ferraiolo: the syntax is reserved but it's not planned to be mandated in ES4
- 21:08:11 [AaronGustafson]
- I may come in and out as coverage wavers
- 21:08:29 [mjs]
- it seems like e4x would be confusing using with elements that have a rich DOM API
- 21:08:30 [anne]
- Philip, good
- 21:08:38 [molly]
- ChrisWilson: Got yer sock puppet out?
- 21:08:44 [anne]
- I believe in theory it does have DOM support
- 21:08:45 [anne]
- btw
- 21:08:47 [Lachy]
- would be nice if I didn't need to use the switch to turn it on and if there were a compatible way to do <!-- --> comments, though comments aren't essential anyway
- 21:08:53 [dom]
- I'm not supporting it
- 21:08:57 [anne]
- I'm not sure why Mozilla didn't support it

- 21:10:28 [molly]
- raman the conversation passionately continues. I think several chairs were thrown yesterday
- 21:10:32 [ChrisWilson]

- 21:10:52 [matt]

- 21:10:56 [anne]
- dom, with respect to E4X I just care about uppercase DOM
- 21:10:59 [KevinLawver]

- "the shallow end of the bitstream" sounds like "the shallow end of the gene pool". Coincidence?

- MikeSmith, we have demonstrated video on Mac and Linux in other places, and they too will be made available "in the near future"...
- 21:59:05 [Lachy]
- the only other solution would be to get all the members of the MPEGLA to give up their patent licences, which doesn't seem likely till they expire in about a decade

- 21:59:30 [dsinger]
- I think the availability/nature of what is already in the spec. for accessibility is not obvious (even to Hakon)
- 21:59:34 [shepazu]
- work in progress
- 21:59:57 [ChrisWilson]
- mjs, anne - I understand. I'm sympathetic to the real goal - baseline fmt that just works. I don't see how to make it happen, since I've been advised the likelihood Ogg Theora is really unencumbered approachs zero. TINLA, IANAL.
- 22:00:25 [rigo]
- this needs a lot of work, let's wait for the video workshop
- 22:00:26 [ferraiolo]
- My opinion is to don't waste time on trying to specify a required codec. It's futile to think that the Japanese consumer electronic devices will switch to a different format just because a W3C spec makes a recommendation.
- 22:00:41 [ChrisWilson]
- Lachy - hey, I like your solution. Can you ring up MPLA? :)

- IRC was developed in late 1988
- 22:06:09 [charlton]
- snitter = irc 2.0
- 22:06:11 [ferraiolo]
- I strongly agree with the SMIL chair about not reinventing SMIL. SVG uses SMIL. People are implementing SVG in SMIL. Just also add it to HTML just like IE5 did with HTML+SMIL
- 22:06:15 [marcos]
- how many namespaces in smile?
- 22:06:18 [Bert]
- +1 to Dick Bulterman
- 22:06:21 [shepazu]

- 22:06:24 [Steven]
- +1 to DCAB
- 22:06:37 [gsnedders]
- bleh. that's a parse error.
- 22:06:43 [ferraiolo]
- SVG uses 70% of the SMIL spec
- 22:06:51 [DanC_lap]
- (somebody take a photo of dave singer? maybe I can find one somewhere else)
- 22:06:54 [KevinLawver]
- charlton, you're only saying that because snitter = Air.
- 22:06:55 [ChrisWilson]
- maybe html5 should use the other 30%
- 22:06:56 [molly]
- gopher was late spring 1991
- 22:07:04 [gsnedders]
- gopher is older than me too :\
- 22:07:07 [shepazu]
- ChrisWilson, lol
- 22:07:10 [anne]
- maybe we should avoid SMIL
- 22:07:10 [molly]
- so both are negative web values
- 22:07:16 [gsnedders]
- molly: can we get to my lifetime yet?
- 22:07:17 [molly]
- but positive internet values
- 22:07:19 [anne]
- just a thought
- 22:07:20 [ChrisL]
- Erik, yes it does at the end. Maybe tag the article 'svg' as well in that case?

- SMIL hasn't shown itself to be author-friendly
- 22:07:33 [ferraiolo]
- svg uses pretty much the same pieces of SMIL as HTML+SMIL
- 22:07:33 [charlton]
- @KevinLawver - not really.... :-) snitter is an example (happens t/b AIR) of how to combine feeds with Twitter
- 22:07:34 [KevinLawver]
- Whatever we do, the next working group needs to be called FR0N to balance out SMIL.
- 22:07:45 [mjs]
- HTML5 <video> is not a SMIL replacement, it's a replacement for Flash-based video players

- 22:08:49 [dsinger]
- i think much of the point of the simplicity of what is in html5 in terms of synch is precisely to defer those issues to a (potentially embedded) smil file
- 22:09:18 [molly]
- gsnedders - so are you teaching your teachers a thing or two?

- 22:10:55 [karl]
- mjs: in which ways SMIL is not user friendly?
- 22:10:59 [jgraham_]
- video seems to come with a lot of stop energy through over-complication
- 22:11:02 [JerryCarter]
- molly, that was a good example...and a sad note.
- 22:11:03 [karl]
- how do you think it could be improved
- 22:11:05 [gsnedders]
- molly: the sad part is having to learn what is wrong for the exams
- 22:11:10 [mjs]
- well, it's had more than enough time to prove itself to be author-friendly
- 22:11:19 [molly]
- gsnedders: that was exactly my point
- 22:11:20 [mjs]
- SMIL has support for static images
- 22:11:28 [mjs]
- that doesn't mean every spec to include images has to use SMIL
- 22:11:40 [molly]
- a story about a college student who was failed for writing a site in valid markup and CSS
- 22:11:45 [karl]
- mjs: how would you improve SMIL to make it user friendly?
- 22:11:59 [molly]
- because the criteria was to follow the instructor's guidelines to build in tables
- 22:12:05 [mjs]
- karl: author-friendly != user-friendly
- 22:12:21 [gsnedders]
- molly: I was discussing with Hixie a while back in #html-wg (I think, it may have been #whatwg) about writing a whole paragraph long answer for a one-word-answer question, giving what they want, then explaining why it is wrong

- mjs, SMIL (especially SMIL video) is author-friendly
- 22:14:11 [charlton]

- 22:14:16 [Hixie]
- danz: uri?
- 22:14:26 [dsinger]
- smil is excellent at what it's for: media integration
- 22:14:32 [danz]
- hixie: give me a second to find it
- 22:14:33 [mjs]
- and the HTML5 API is actually more useful for interesting and useful playback
- 22:14:36 [PHB]
- Getting it compressed to a codec that would work on a mac was an issue
- 22:14:48 [dsinger]
- if I only have one media (medium) i probably don't need it
- 22:14:56 [anne]
- so SMIL went from 111 to 1?
- 22:15:00 [anne]
- I wonder how that went
- 22:15:00 [PHB]
- We need a standard, what the standard is matters much less than that there is a standard
- 22:15:01 [mjs]
- if the problem at hand is "embed a video in my blog", then SMIL doesn't meet the criteria of "as easy or easier than using Flash"
- 22:15:02 [dsinger]
- and even with smil we need a normal way to embed it in html
- 22:15:04 [ferraiolo]
- The key thing that SMIL provides is the timing model which explains how multiple time-based elements are kept in sync
- 22:15:05 [ChrisWilson]
- tantek - well, as an employee of the company with the biggest dollar sign target painted on it, that is what concerns me.
- 22:15:05 [molly]
- charlton agreed. And you get smart young folks such as gsnedders here, and they are put into the profoundly uncomfortable position of being more authoritative than the person who is meant to be the authority
- 22:15:05 [anne]
- (111 to 1 namespace)

- 22:17:15 [ChrisWilson]
- yeeeesh. are you talking consumer video cameras, or what a P&S camera emits, or both?
- 22:17:19 [JerryCarter]

- molly: knowing how some teachers are, there are often a lot of pupils far dumber than me who are still far more knowledgeable than the teacher
- 22:20:06 [shepazu]
- howcome, who fronts the money?
- 22:20:08 [Hixie]
- tantek: he said it could do video, just not the more modern codecs, as i understand it
- 22:20:09 [DanC_lap]
- is there any way to find out how free ogg is? reliably? what would it cost? are the members willing to pay it?
- 22:20:12 [ferraiolo]
- Hixie: anyone who has implemented SVG, such as Opera, already has the SMIL timing model implemented
- 22:20:15 [Bert]
- tantek, howcome said it *can* show video.

- @gsnedders, @molly - many TAs are worse
- 22:20:26 [gsnedders]
- charlton: that's part of the reason why I'm not intending on doing CS at uni
- 22:20:26 [Lachy]
- I thought H?kon just said the $100 laptop could play video, or did I hear incorrectly?
- 22:20:29 [shepazu]
- howcome... for the patent search and due diligence?
- 22:20:34 [charlton]
- due to how they tend to be abused at uni
- 22:20:38 [ChrisWilson]
- Tantek - actually, I think animated GIF could be our baseline format... :)
- 22:20:39 [Hixie]
- ferraiolo: indeed
- 22:20:50 [DanC_lap]
- can we get the USPTO to say definitively that ogg isn't covered by patents for some fee?
- 22:21:03 [rigo]
- take mpeg4 and mpeg21 and we are all done, but unfortunately ..... [...]
- 22:21:04 [ferraiolo]
- Hixie: but note that SVG doesn't use SMIL markup
- 22:21:05 [JerryCarter]
- DanC, don't think so.
- 22:21:05 [dsinger]
- svg is also time-based, and therefore had to have a timing model, and so smil issues arose; html is not (yet) time-based (much)
- 22:21:09 [molly]
- charlton I think that's political though, not always a statement of knowledge
- 22:21:10 [charlton]
- @gsnedders it is one of the intangibles w.r.t. taking uni
- 22:21:12 [Hixie]
- danz: there's more than one patent office
- 22:21:13 [Hixie]

- DanC_lap, I doubt it, but you could try
- 22:21:26 [charlton]
- @molly it is a combination of the two
- 22:21:26 [sniffles]
- charlton: there's also the issue of the academic ego ...
- 22:21:28 [JerryCarter]
- DanC, the cheaper tactic is to buy a few legislators.

- Yay! No DRM :-)
- 22:21:57 [ChrisWilson]
- danC_lap - 1) not really (you can do lots of patent searches, but there's nothing certain), 2) that's legal advice anyway, and 3) i think you'd find people wouldn't want to fund it.
- 22:22:00 [anne]
- gavin_, sorry for the confusion, I meant that that's the only thing I did, I didn't actually provide feedback
- 22:22:07 [molly]
- no DRM ++
- 22:22:13 [DanC_lap]
- sorry, right, never mind my USPTO question.
- 22:22:14 [ChrisWilson]
- glazou - yeah. I think I'm going to order one.
- 22:22:27 [dsinger]
- username/password is hardly a drm system :-)
- 22:22:28 [glazou]
- ChrisWilson: me too ; and I already have the CF-SD adapter
- 22:22:32 [Hixie]
- DanC_lap: my understanding from speaking to lawyers is that the only way to get a real ruling is to implement the codec, put it out there, and have a multibillion dollar company backing it and liable for patent problems in it.

- 22:22:59 [ChrisWilson]
- anne - ahh. I read your note the same as gavin
- 22:23:01 [JerryCarter]
- DanC / ChrisWilson. The lawyers become legislators and write the laws. The lawyers become judges who interpret the laws. The deck is stacked.
- 22:23:16 [marcos]
- yeah, not paying for great content is ggrest:p
- 22:23:17 [ChrisWilson]

- 22:27:48 [Liam]
- glazou: I doubt it. My father also speaks quickly, and got faster. When his hardware can no longer keep up with his CPU, his audio output has skips in it.

- 22:42:40 [Al]
- eXtensible validation -- anybody for NVDL? Schematron?
- 22:42:58 [anne]
- you actually want way more than simply DTD/RNG validation btw; for HTML you want to check for instance whether a table is done correctly (columns / rows are correct)
- 22:42:59 [KevinLawver]
- Feel really bad for Pat Haney right now. ;)
- 22:43:06 [anne]
- validator.nu does that for HTML 5

- KevinLawver: did I miss something?
- 22:43:26 [karl]
- Al: the issue is ill-formed. It is not about validation in tools but more how validation is defined by the specification.
- 22:43:37 [dsinger]
- has anyone validated tbl's own pages :-)?

- 23:15:39 [fantasai]
- tantek: tutorials, etc
