Topic: CURIEs
14:50:49 [Steven]
Roland: Curies have gone to CR
14:51:06 [Steven]
Steven: Let's talk about test suites
14:51:19 [Steven]
Roland: Soes the RDFa test suite cover all features?
14:51:35 [Steven]
Shane: It covers all features, there is a datatype that isn't tested, not a feature per se
14:51:49 [Steven]

Shane: Harder than I had expected
14:52:34 [Tina]
Apologies; time slipped away and my phone is not behaving :(
14:52:38 [Steven]
... it's doable
14:53:00 [Steven]
Steven: Moving the harness to W3C space?
14:53:10 [Steven]
Shane: No, and they use a different version of PHP
14:53:19 [Steven]
... Ralph has already tried and failed
14:53:40 [Steven]
... when Ralph has fixed it for RDFa, then it will be easy for us
14:54:01 [Steven]
Steven: Good news
14:54:23 [Steven]
Roland: Timescale?
14:54:29 [Steven]
Shane: Not sure yet
14:55:39 [Steven]
Topic: Media types
14:55:50 [Steven]
Roland: I see we had comments
14:56:20 [Steven]
Shane: I sent it to Steven for publication
14:56:21 [Zakim]
+Tina
14:57:21 [Steven]
Steven: I sent it on to be published, and it had arrived, but Monday was a holiday, and yesterday sort of too, so maybe it's just backed up
14:57:57 [Steven]
Shane: We also got a comment about @lang, and I replied that we can't add it to existing family members, but XHTML 1.2 could
14:58:40 [Steven]
Roland: it is deifnite we can't get it back in?
14:58:46 [Steven]
Shane: It would break conformance
14:58:54 [Steven]
s/deif/defi/
14:59:13 [Steven]
Roland: Maybe the Mobile web people could do the grunt work to get it into the system,
14:59:37 [Steven]
Shane: So you think it is OK to break conformance?
14:59:51 [Steven]
Roland: Maybe, not sure.
15:01:10 [mgylling]
C.7. The lang and xml:lang Attributes
15:01:10 [mgylling]
Use both the lang and xml:lang attributes when specifying the language of an element. The value of the xml:lang attribute takes precedence.
15:01:12 [Steven]
Steven: If we say that @lang has no meaning, it wouldn't actually break anything
15:02:15 [Steven]
Roland: Why don't we test the waters with the mobile people?
15:02:55 [Steven]
ACTION: Roland to talk to the mobile people about allowing @lang
15:02:56 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-45 - Talk to the mobile people about allowing @lang [on Roland Merrick - due 2009-01-28].
15:03:53 [Steven]
Steven: The doc is in the pipeline, as soon as it happens, I'll let you know
15:04:30 [Steven]
Roland: And the other docs are in the pipeline waiting for this to be published
15:04:35 [Steven]
Steven: Yres, that's right
15:04:40 [Steven]
s/res/es/
15:05:22 [Steven]
Shane: If someone in autority would say that adding @lang would not vioalte PER, it would be 2 mins to add it to the spec
15:05:29 [Steven]
Roland: We will carry on as we are for now
15:05:54 [Steven]
Topic: XHTML2
15:06:07 [Steven]
Roland: Shane has asked some questions
15:06:30 [Steven]
Shane: Most of the questions were set off by Markus, for which thanks
15:08:47 [Steven]
... so which version of XForms?
15:11:06 [Steven]
Steven: 1.1
15:11:16 [Steven]
Shane: And how does that fit in with XMNL Events 2?
15:11:26 [Steven]
Steven: We need to check that they are consistent
15:11:48 [Steven]
... XML Events 2 is based on XForms 1.1, so it should be the same, but we need to check
15:12:12 [Steven]
... XForms 1.1 still references XML Events 1, and adds stuff into its own spec (like RDFa does with CURIEs)
15:12:34 [Steven]
Markus: Is the XForms 1.1 schema chameleon?
15:12:39 [Steven]
Steven: Yes
15:13:29 [Steven]
Steven: so charset and encoding are related (XML Events)
15:14:46 [Steven]
Shane: So you think we should allow @charset
15:15:09 [Steven]
Steven: Yes, for legacy use (mainly for the javascript + @implements" case)
15:18:43 [Steven]
[Discussion on whether charset or encoding is a better choice]
15:21:48 [Steven]
Roland: What is the difference? One is a single value and the other a list?
15:22:01 [Steven]
Steven: Yes
15:23:45 [Steven]
... you should look at the definition of charset in HTML4, it really isn't very useful
15:23:55 [Steven]
... which is why we made @encoding what it is
15:24:00 [Steven]
... to make it actually useful
15:24:31 [Steven]
... I suggest we should say @charset has no meaning
15:24:40 [Steven]
... and only there for legacy use
15:25:08 [Steven]
Roland: It is a compormise I can live with
15:25:21 [Steven]
... so I can specify both if I want
15:25:48 [Steven]
Roland: So the next question is what to do with the script module
15:26:34 [Steven]
... I think there should be one module for XHTML 1.2 and 2.0
15:26:57 [Steven]
Steven: Isn't script in XML Events 2?
15:27:01 [Steven]
Shane: Yes
15:27:08 [Steven]
Roland: But it is a separate module
15:28:33 [Steven]
q-
15:29:09 [Steven]
Roland: caption element
15:29:24 [Steven]
Shane: There are other issues that we need to discuss as well
15:29:40 [Steven]
... but I may have confused people here
15:29:52 [Steven]
... we use caption on object
15:30:25 [Steven]
... so my question is really is it OK to split caption out as a module
15:30:36 [Steven]
... and Mark then pointed out that we have label as well
15:30:55 [Steven]
... and I don't care which we use
15:31:23 [Steven]
Roland: We have caption in older versions of XHTML
15:32:47 [Steven]
... and label has other parameters, like ref
15:33:03 [Steven]
... so an unadorned caption in object would be simpler
15:33:23 [ShaneM]
http://htmlwg.mn.aptest.com/htmlwg/xhtml-m12n-2/mod-list.html#edef_list_label
15:33:29 [Steven]
Shane: The label in the list module is a different one (no @ref)
15:33:52 [Steven]
Markus: Perhaps it should be caption on lists then...
15:34:36 [Steven]
Steven: It would certainly be confusing for the user if label had different meanings in different places
15:35:01 [Steven]
Shane: Good point. I think that caption should be drawn out into its own module
15:35:04 [Steven]
Steven: Agree
15:35:17 [mgylling]
+1
15:35:17 [Steven]
Shane: So should we use caption in lists?
15:35:44 [Steven]
Markus: What does this mean for img then?
15:36:44 [Steven]
Steven: Are you suggesting a caption child of img?
15:38:40 [Steven]
... from a processing point of virew, img and span are identical
15:38:46 [ShaneM]
http://htmlwg.mn.aptest.com/htmlwg/xhtml-m12n-2/mod-text.html#cs_Text
15:39:02 [Steven]
Shane: The question really generalises to "should caption be able to be a child of any element"
15:40:17 [Steven]
... or "if we define the caption element, should it be in the text content set"
15:40:54 [Steven]
Markus: Or the title element, like the title attribute
15:41:59 [Steven]
Steven: The relationship between @title, caption and label is difficult
15:42:04 [Steven]
... it needs cleaning up
15:42:13 [Steven]
Shane: I think caption on image is a fine idea
15:42:31 [Steven]
... I should record it as an issue whether it should be allowed more generally
15:43:27 [Steven]
Steven: HTML5 has a figure element, with a child of <legend>
15:43:43 [ShaneM]
ACTION: Shane to define caption module and add issue about whether caption should be included in the Text content set.
15:43:43 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-46 - Define caption module and add issue about whether caption should be included in the Text content set. [on Shane McCarron - due 2009-01-28].
