DanC: What's happening with XRIs?
17:18:17 [Ashok]
SKW: Summarizes situation
17:18:49 [Ashok]
We have not had a formal proposal saying would you be happy with ...
17:19:40 [DanC]
q+ to check whether skw meant it when he said "prefix", since DNS names go least-significant-first

Abstract Identifier document: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/AbstractIdentifierArchitecture
17:26:04 [Ashok]
SKW: That's not the proposal
17:26:26 [jar]
(Out of order) saying "http://xri.*/*" are XRIS is same as saying "http://*/ark:*" are ARKs ...
17:26:58 [ht]
And I think there is _some_ room to argue that both of these are OK, if not ideal
17:27:16 [Ashok]
Item 5: Self-Describing Web
17:27:48 [Ashok]
Noah has incorporated feedback from Norm and SKW:
17:28:13 [ht]
q+ to ask a question
17:28:15 [DanC]
q+ to think about whether RDFa is critical path: if we leave it aside, what's the audience/purpose?
17:28:18 [Ashok]
SKW: Norm and I would be supportive of publication
17:28:23 [skw]
ack ht
17:28:23 [Zakim]
ht, you wanted to ask a question
17:28:58 [Ashok]
ht: In a discussion with a student I realized ...
17:29:00 [ht]
I believe the following: "FYN works iff every party to the story is a) publically accountable
17:29:00 [ht]
and b) aware of the dependency of the FYN story on their part of it.
17:29:02 [ht]
"
17:29:43 [DanC]
I think you can follow-your-nose into policies and such that aren't world-readable
17:29:49 [DanC]
q+
17:30:16 [Ashok]
DanC: I would not say 'publically accounatable"
17:30:20 [skw]
q?
17:30:38 [Ashok]
HT: The parties have to be publically accountable
17:31:07 [Ashok]
SKW: The draft does not say this
17:31:26 [Ashok]
HT: I would like to discuss this
17:31:34 [Ashok]
SKW: Pl. send comment
17:31:51 [Ashok]
DanC: I disagree for 3 reasons
17:32:26 [DanC]
(I ran out after 2)
17:32:53 [DanC]
(1) need not be world-readable
17:33:04 [DanC]
(2) the URI for text/plain isn't actually critical path
17:33:07 [DanC]
... currently
17:33:21 [DanC]
(though it's nice that the text/plain full URI is in an RFC)
17:33:27 [Ashok]
HT: I will send mail on this
17:33:29 [DanC]
ack danc

DanC: How can we finish without RDFa story?
17:34:58 [Ashok]
DanC: I'm not sure story holds up
17:35:28 [Ashok]
SKW: can we document missing link and encourage them to put it in place.

HT nominates SVG and HTML thread from public-html... a dozen messages

Item 8 -- AbberviatedURI-56
18:04:00 [Ashok]
SKW: Asks abt status of CURIE comments
18:04:18 [DanC]
(anybody have a summary of the comment? the subject line was a generic "comments on X")
18:04:32 [Ashok]
Noah: That's for responder to say
18:05:08 [Ashok]
SKW: Summarizez comments
18:05:43 [Ashok]
Editorial: Qnames never inted as attribute values. Some discussion on this
18:06:07 [DanC]
(pls promote that "main substantive comment" to the subject line)

SKW: Definition of XML Schema datatype

?
18:07:48 [Ashok]
AM: Noah you had a comment on lack of clarity between CURIE and URI where there is ambiguity
18:09:27 [Ashok]
Noah: I sent this as a personal comment. If no objection, I can add to my note
18:10:14 [skw]
q?
18:10:31 [jar]
the whole point of safecurie was so that they can be put in uri contexts
18:11:12 [skw]
q?
18:11:13 [DanC]
yes, now that I understand the comment, it seems to miss the point of safecuries
18:11:31 [noah]
Well, it hijacks the use of [ in everyone's languages.
18:11:38 [Ashok]
Raman: I'm uncomfotable with this. We need to allow new syntax in old contexts
18:11:45 [DanC]
q+ daveo
18:11:58 [skw]
ack jar
18:12:01 [noah]
q+ to say implying safecuries can be used in existing languages where URIs are expected hijacks the use of [ in those languages.
18:12:34 [skw]
ack ht
18:12:58 [Ashok]
jar: If there was no intention of extensing URI content there would be no CURIEs
18:13:00 [jar]
RDFa already would violate a prohibition on safecuries. It's too late to prohibit safecuries
18:13:27 [jar]
s/no CURIEs/no SafeCURIEs/
18:13:41 [Ashok]
HT: We shd be careful abt distinguishing between CURIE's and SafeCURIES
18:13:41 [DanC]
<ht> Please remember that we have already fed back on this point, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-html-editor/2008JanMar/0014.html
18:13:59 [noah]
q?
18:14:35 [Ashok]
HT: We shd not go back on that advice
18:15:48 [Ashok]
TVR: The way Noah phrased it it sets a very high bar for new syntax
18:15:56 [jar]
Two questions here! (1) CURIEs in URI contexts? (No.) (2) SafeCURIEs in URI contexts? (RDFa requires.)

+Dave_Orchard
18:18:13 [Ashok]
Noah: Explains his POV ... I shd open my spec to other syntax
18:18:28 [jar]
relative URIs can start with [, yes?
18:18:35 [timbl]
timbl has joined #tagmem
18:18:42 [Ashok]
They shd make clear that these things are not URis
18:18:45 [skw]
ack daveo
18:19:16 [Ashok]
DaveO: Supports Noah. CURIEs cannot be wedged into existing specifiactions
18:19:18 [jar]
I repeat: There are two questions here! (1) CURIEs in URI contexts? (No.) (2) SafeCURIEs in URI contexts? (RDFa requires.)
18:19:46 [Zakim]
-Dave_Orchard
18:19:49 [DanC]
jar, does RDFa use <a href="[safecuri]">? I see deployment problems there.
18:20:00 [skw]
http://www.w3.org/mid/48B810F4.60807@aptest.com
18:20:05 [Ashok]
DaveO: Must specify how CURIEs and URI are disambiguated
18:20:40 [jar]
no, but it allows safecuries in other uri contexts, I believe. will check.
18:21:19 [DanC]
ok. deployment considerations for a/@href are somewhat special
18:21:49 [Ashok]
TVR: XSLT uses { } is attribute value templates. Use of a special character
18:21:54 [jar]
ok, URIorSafeCURIE only occurs in attributes that are newly added by RDFa
18:21:56 [noah]
I did propose text to Shane on 8/29:
18:21:56 [noah]
<proposed>
18:21:56 [noah]
CURIEs and safe-CURIEs map to IRIs, but neither a CURIE nor a safe-CURIE
18:21:56 [noah]
<italic>is</italic> an IRI or URI. Accordingly, CURIEs and safe-CURIEs
18:21:56 [noah]
MUST NOT be used as values for attributes that are specified to contain
18:21:57 [noah]
only URIs, IRIs, URI-references, IRI-references, etc. Specifications for
18:22:03 [noah]
particular attribute values or other content MAY be written to allow
18:22:03 [noah]
either CURIEs or IRIs (or URIs, etc.). The specifications for such
18:22:03 [noah]
languages MUST provide rules for disambiguition in situations where the
18:22:05 [noah]
same string could be interpreted as either a CURIE or an IRI. One way to
18:22:07 [noah]
do this is to require that all CURIEs be expressed as safe-CURIEs,
18:22:09 [noah]
implying that all unbracketed strings are to be interpreted as IRIs.
18:22:11 [noah]
</proposed>
18:24:14 [Ashok]
TVR: I'm mostly OK with this.
18:25:02 [DanC]
x:y
18:25:06 [Ashok]
JAR: I'm bothered by saying "CURIES are not IRIs". There are bstrings that are both.
18:26:07 [DanC]
noodling... "neither every CURIE nor every safe-CURIE <italic>is</italic> an IRI or URI"
18:27:10 [Ashok]
Noah: I will put this in a note to the TAG list and people call comment
18:27:45 [Ashok]
s/call/can/
18:28:36 [noah]
So, Stuart, what's the next step on the response.
18:28:44 [Ashok]
SKW: Let's conclude on email.
18:29:49 [noah]
SKW: Noah to redraft considering Stuart's proposal on intent of qnames and add 8/29 draft text on using CURIEs where URIs expected
18:30:44 [Ashok]
