16:06:30 [fantasai]
glazou: deadline for 18th of March for TPAC was extended to April 2
16:06:31 [ChrisL]
zakim, +47 is Howcome
16:06:32 [Zakim]
+Howcome; got it
16:06:44 [fantasai]
glazou: The number of groups planning to meet is already above expectations
16:07:12 [fantasai]
glazou: joint meeting with SVG Open?
16:07:24 [fantasai]
chrisl: That was a fallback if the main meeting didn't go through
16:07:41 [fantasai]
glazou: I guess we have to find another location for the f2f
16:08:23 [fantasai]
glazou: We still have time to find another spot for the TPAC
16:08:29 [fantasai]
alexmog: Why?
16:08:38 [fantasai]
glazou: THere's not enough room at TPAC, too many groups
16:08:53 [fantasai]
alexmog: I thought we were going to go with SVG Open because the groups we wanted to meet with weren't going to be at TPAC
16:09:26 [fantasai]
chrisl: They downsized the venue
16:10:04 [fantasai]
Topic: Agenda Items
16:10:11 [fantasai]

sylvain: We wanted to know if another CSS2.1 draft would be published soon
16:12:11 [glazou]
thx
16:12:23 [fantasai]
sylvain: Also wanted to know if anything about test suite will be on the agenda for June F2F
16:12:33 [fantasai]
sylvain: So we know whether to budget in Arron
16:12:46 [fantasai]
glazou: June F2F agenda is open for suggestions
16:12:57 [fantasai]
glazou: please suggest something more detailed than just "Test Suite"
16:13:14 [fantasai]
glazou: Holiday season starts in June, so please plan your hotels earlyu
16:13:43 [fantasai]
Topic: Follow-up on @import
16:13:59 [fantasai]
glazou: Is this resolved? I saw Sylvain follow-up on this on the mailing list
16:14:14 [fantasai]
sylvain: I believed we solved this in Tokyo
16:14:37 [fantasai]
Topic: Implementation Status Reports
16:14:48 [fantasai]
glazou: Mozilla and Antenna House posted detailed implementation reports to www-style
16:14:48 [ChrisL]
these are for css 2.1, or for 3?
16:15:09 [melinda]
Chris, both
16:15:12 [fantasai]
glazou: I think David Baron has in mind some coordination among browsers
16:15:21 [fantasai]
glazou: wrt implementation of CSS features for the Web
16:15:33 [fantasai]
glazou: I encourage other browser vendors to do the same
16:15:53 [fantasai]
glazou: If Opera, Microsoft, Apple can send this information to www-style as well, that would be very cool
16:16:24 [fantasai]
Topic: :not() and pseudo-elements
16:16:31 [fantasai]
glazou: There's a clarification to make in the spec
16:16:39 [fantasai]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0193.html
16:16:47 [fantasai]
glazou: Sylvain posted a clarification
16:16:54 [fantasai]
glazou: I think David posted something else
16:16:55 [glazou]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Mar/0195.html
16:17:30 [fantasai]
glazou: fantasai also said that she expects a future version of Selectors to accept more in :not() than a simple selectors
16:17:37 [fantasai]
glazou: Sylvain, which proposal do you prefer?
16:18:03 [Zakim]
+Shepazu
16:18:12 [fantasai]
glazou: I think David's proposal is more complete
16:18:21 [fantasai]
sylvain: My proposal was just a clarification
16:18:34 [fantasai]
glazou: Is everyone ok with David's proposal?
16:18:39 [glazou]
#The negation pseudo-class, :not(X), is a functional notation taking a simple selector (excluding the negation pseudo-
16:18:39 [glazou]
#class itself) as an argument. It represents an element that is not represented by the argument.
16:18:39 [glazou]
#Note: Appending a pseudo-element to a simple selector results in a selector; selectors are not valid negation pseudo
16:18:40 [glazou]
#class arguments.
16:21:27 [fantasai]
Peter: The note doesn't clarify that a pseudo-element by itself is not a simple selector
16:22:27 [fantasai]
fantasai proposese addding a Note that says "SInce pseudo-elements are not simple selectors, they are not a valid argument to :not9)"
16:22:33 [fantasai]
minus the typos :)
16:23:39 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: sylvain+fantasai's proposal accepted
16:23:55 [fantasai]
Topic: CSS+SVG Task Force
16:24:03 [fantasai]
Shepazu to summarize
16:24:18 [fantasai]
Doug: This basically started as something regarding transforms and animations
16:24:29 [fantasai]
Doug: David Singer thought it would be a good idea for general coordination
16:24:43 [fantasai]
Doug: It would also involve animations, transitions, other little issues that might pop up
16:24:57 [fantasai]
Doug: I'm just suggesting we make a mailing list
16:25:14 [fantasai]
Doug: So we don't have to keep cross-posting
16:25:34 [fantasai]
glazou: Dean Jackson says he's ok with a mailing list, but not a sub-group
16:25:43 [fantasai]
Doug: THere isn't really any formaility to a task force
16:25:52 [fantasai]
chrisl: It's just somewhere that we can post to
16:26:06 [fantasai]
Melinda: My question, this has started off as being specific to 2d-3d transforms
16:26:14 [fantasai]
Melinda: but then became more general
16:26:26 [fantasai]
Melinda: If it was just about transofrms, then I wouldn't want to subscribe
16:26:39 [fantasai]
Melinda: If it's more general, maybe discussion of image-fit/image-scaling
16:26:47 [fantasai]
Melinda: Then I need to subscribe
16:26:59 [fantasai]
Melinda: Wheres' the efficiency benefit
16:27:18 [fantasai]
ChrisL: It's avoiding cross-posting and diverging threads
16:27:50 [fantasai]
glazou: My problem with the separate group
16:28:07 [fantasai]
glazou: is that the wg memebers are supposed to keep track of everything that's going on, even if it's not of direct concern to them
16:28:27 [fantasai]
Doug: My concern wrt transforms, especially
16:28:39 [fantasai]
Doug: we are both working on different proposals that may end up being the same proposal
16:28:46 [fantasai]
Doug: If people are sending feedback ...
16:28:56 [fantasai]
Doug: The SVG WG has already gotten feedback about our trnasforms module
16:29:04 [fantasai]
Doug: It's got sent to the public SVG mailing list
16:29:18 [fantasai]
Doug: At what point are we going to be able to .. I'm concerned that emails going to get sent to both lists
16:29:22 [fantasai]
Doug: separately
16:29:37 [fantasai]
Doug: And we're not going to coordinate
16:29:51 [fantasai]
Doug: For SVG group, we just can't track everything that flows throught he www-style list
16:30:37 [fantasai]
ChrisL: It's much more efficient for someone from the csswg to subscribe to just the joint task force list, and not to all the svg lists
16:31:01 [fantasai]
Doug: For those of us that are subscribed to both lists, it's a big savings for the SVG group so we dont' ahve to track everything
16:31:29 [fantasai]
Doug: I'm sure you can have the joint mailing list shoved in a filter so it comes to your attention with CSS
16:31:42 [fantasai]
Doug: Also, if you're not interested in transforms you don't have to mointor the list for the next few months
16:32:07 [fantasai]
Melinda seems to be ok with this
16:32:20 [fantasai]
glazou: Open mailing list, or just publicly-viewable
16:32:25 [fantasai]
agreement on open
16:32:31 [fantasai]
public read-write
16:33:14 [fantasai]
discussion of what David thinks
16:33:25 [fantasai]
Doug: For specifications like transforms and animations and things like that
16:33:34 [fantasai]
Doug: That might be the default mailing list for sending comments
16:33:49 [fantasai]
Doug: I can understand why csswg might not want that, but just a suggestion. SVG group is ok with that
16:34:07 [fantasai]
Melinda: I think if the CSSWG agrees to establish that new mailing list, I don't see why we wouldn't want to direct comments there
16:34:17 [fantasai]
Doug: We could have a wiki if we wanted, I dont' think it's necessary
16:35:20 [fantasai]
discussion of names for the list
16:35:29 [sylvaing]
svg-css-mafia
16:35:35 [fantasai]
www-svg-css-coord
16:35:41 [fantasai]
public-fx
16:36:40 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Make a joint CSS SVG task force, Doug to set it up, specs of common interest to send comments there, will be *public read-write*

Topic: Publishing Template Layout module
16:39:24 [fantasai]
Bert: I think it's time for an update
16:39:31 [fantasai]
Bert: I think I sent also the changes
16:39:40 [CesarAcebal]
CesarAcebal has joined #css
16:39:55 [fantasai]
Bert: I removed the part about tabbed layout. interesting, but not so urgent... people aren't talking about it at least
16:40:00 [fantasai]
Bert: Also updated the title
16:40:08 [fantasai]
Bert: That's why I want to publish it
16:40:55 [fantasai]
fantasai: I thought it was called Template Layout MOdule?
16:41:11 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: publish updated WD of css3-layout
16:41:25 [fantasai]
Topic: Wording for Issue 24

16:42:30 [mollydotcom]
mollydotcom has joined #css
16:42:36 [fantasai]
It was accepted to fix the problem, but not exactly what wording iirc
16:43:42 [glazou]
hi mollydotcom
16:43:53 [mollydotcom]
am I an hour off again?
16:44:47 [fantasai]
yeah
16:44:50 [glazou]
yes :)
16:45:01 [fantasai]
fantasai: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Dec/0091.html
16:45:10 [fantasai]
fantasai: There were two woriding proposals there
16:45:11 [glazou]
mollydotcom: leave the norwegian TZ :)
16:45:26 [fantasai]
fantasai: We discussed them and Bert wanted to write another one that was clearer on how the two interact
16:45:48 [fantasai]
glazou: deferred to next week
16:45:58 [mollydotcom]
it's the Arizona Time Zone
16:45:59 [CesarAcebal]
I'm afraid I have had the same error with the hour than Molly. In Spain we are not still in Summer Time until this weekend. Sorry!
16:46:18 [glazou]
np CesarAcebal
16:46:46 [fantasai]
fantasai: to answer Sylvain's question, we need to solve this issue before publishing CSS2.1 again, because we regressed the text with the last resolution

Bert summarizes his email
16:51:17 [glazou]
fantasai, I can't hear you
16:51:31 [fantasai]
fantasai: It shouldn't be limited to selectors
16:51:40 [fantasai]
fantasai: We want all statements to fall under the matching brackets rule
16:51:47 [fantasai]
fantasai: including @statmeents
16:52:16 [fantasai]
fantasai: I don't think the reuqirement to "match" brackets and quotes is hard to understand, it's good enough for now I think
16:52:25 [fantasai]
fantasai: but it needs to apply to statements and to declarations
16:52:39 [fantasai]
ACTION: everyone come up with an opinion on Bert's email

16:55:19 [glazou]
mollydotcom: see above
16:56:46 [ChrisL]
it seems to be the usual way to remove things, set the attribute to ""

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Feb/0256.html
16:57:53 [fantasai]
dbaron's comment: I think this could be tossed out as a "not all requirements are
16:57:54 [fantasai]
expressed in the formal grammar". It's a nice-to-have (and perhaps
16:57:54 [fantasai]
somewhat complicated to get right, so maybe not worth it), but I
16:57:54 [fantasai]
don't think it's a bug in the spec.
16:58:31 [fantasai]
glazou: another issue where the grammar is completed by the prose
16:58:53 [fantasai]
glazou: we will always have these sort of things
16:59:08 [fantasai]
glazou: not worth the time and complexity grammar to fix
16:59:13 [fantasai]
peter: why not fix in css3
16:59:20 [fantasai]
glazou: ok, we leave for css3.. but not 2.1
16:59:28 [fantasai]
bert: which are you talking about now?
16:59:37 [fantasai]
glazou: points bert at url
17:00:54 [fantasai]
Bert: So far I havent' seen anything that I would like to change in the grammar
17:01:03 [fantasai]
glazou: So Yves posted at least 2 issues here
17:01:12 [fantasai]
glazou: Specifically about 2.1, do we want to change something?
17:01:57 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: keep grammar and prose as is for 2.1, defer issue to css3
