16:10:54 [Bert]
David: We might want to define issue 4, indeed. We would need test cases.
16:11:13 [sylvaing]
issue 4a
16:11:18 [sylvaing]
?
16:11:54 [Bert]
David: Specifically 4a.
16:12:32 [Bert]
David: I already pointed out it was udnefiend 10 years ago and the group decided to leave it 5 years ago. But we might change our mind.
16:13:00 [Bert]
Bert: Defined at some point, yes, but needed for 2.1?
16:13:15 [Bert]
David: Maybe not necessary, but we won't get interoperability.
16:13:53 [Arron]
Arron has joined #CSS
16:14:09 [Bert]
Daniel: So we confirm that we leave it undefined?

(Discussion about what 2004 decision meant...)

16:16:37 [Bert]
David explains the "root" in that decision.
16:16:37 [glazou]

16:16:48 [Bert]

16:17:26 [Bert]
David: An element inside a top-aligned is not a root and is not considered for the alignment of that root.
16:18:11 [fantasai]
ScribeNick: fantasai
16:18:13 [Bert]
Steve: For XSL I said top was considered first and than the bottom-aligned elements would align to what was the resulting bottom after the rest was aligned.
16:18:22 [Bert]
s/than/then/
16:18:29 [fantasai]
Steve: XSL, you align all the things that are neither top nor bottom-aligned
16:18:41 [fantasai]
Steve: Then you align against top, then bottom
16:19:02 [fantasai]
s/against/things that are top/
16:19:53 [fantasai]
fantasai: Should we just copy XSL's definition?
16:20:12 [fantasai]
David: We could use some test cases to see what browsers do
16:20:20 [fantasai]
fantasai: Didn't Anton post a test case?
16:20:42 [fantasai]
David: Some browsers might use always top, or always bottom, or the first thing, or the last thing.
16:20:51 [fantasai]
ACTION Steve come up with wider set of testcases
16:20:51 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-144 - Come up with wider set of testcases [on Steve Zilles - due 2009-05-20].
16:21:28 [fantasai]
Daniel: So we will return to 4a after analyzing testcases
16:21:41 [fantasai]
Daniel: What abotu 4b?
16:21:49 [fantasai]
David: We should come up with proposals for these
16:21:59 [fantasai]
Daniel: That's ok, but who will come up with the proposals?
16:22:03 [szilles]
You align all the things that are neither top or bottom aligned; then next align the top items to the top of the first result and finally align the bottom aligned items to the bottom of the first two results
16:22:06 [fantasai]
Steve: That should be either David or I
16:22:36 [fantasai]
David: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009May/0035.html
16:22:54 [fantasai]
fantasai: I didn't have any proposals for this one, just filed the issue
16:24:17 [glazou]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009May/0084.html
16:24:19 [fantasai]
fantasai: I folded Issue 4 and Issue 10 from that message into 117, they are all related and multiple bits might be solved by one proposal
16:24:39 [fantasai]
Daniel: Ok, Steve will take care of this. Next issue
16:25:05 [fantasai]
Topic: Background Shorthand for size
16:25:11 [fantasai]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009May/0084.html
16:26:10 [fantasai]
David: I don't like using slash as a delimiter when the item before it is optional
16:26:15 [fantasai]
Daniel: Thoughts on this?
16:26:29 [fantasai]
fantasai: Even the poster decided he didn't like this proposal, so I don't think we should adopt it.
16:26:34 [glazou]

16:26:38 [fantasai]
Topic: pity thread
16:27:08 [fantasai]
Daniel: Was there anything to extract from this email?
16:27:35 [fantasai]
Bert: The first issue about the grammar, I made an error, it's my fault.
16:27:51 [fantasai]
Bert: The others, he doesn't like the way we write it... and I don't like it either, the handling of errors is not very clear
16:27:58 [fantasai]
Bert: I'm not sure we want to change that
16:28:21 [fantasai]
Bert: The last one, the fonts one, we still have an open issue. We should wait for that before we decide anything new on fonts
16:28:29 [fantasai]
Bert: I think John was going to come up with a proposal for that.
16:28:38 [fantasai]
Daniel: So we have one error that you are going to fix, or have already fixed
16:28:49 [fantasai]
Daniel: Two clarifications requested for the prose?
16:29:23 [fantasai]
Bert: Number 2 in his mail is about ignoring until the end of the block. The way it's written now says "up to and including the end of the block", which is wrong
16:29:37 [fantasai]
(we don't want to ignore the } )
16:30:13 [fantasai]
Bert: For number 3, I don't think we change anything there. I don't like the way it's written either, but I don't want to try to rewrite it. It's maybe not nicely written, but no real need to change.
16:30:14 [dbaron]
"up to (but not including) the end of the block"
16:30:44 [fantasai]
dbaron, that's not sufficient
16:30:58 [fantasai]
dbaron, reread the paragraph, you need to rearrange some text for that to work
16:31:04 [dbaron]
I can't find the paragraph
16:31:10 [fantasai]
it's in Bert's mail
16:31:17 [fantasai]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009May/0054.html
16:32:05 [fantasai]
Search for "Maybe change from"
16:32:48 [fantasai]
David: I think I prefer Bert's first proposal
16:33:05 [fantasai]
fantasai: I would be ok with the first proposal if s/up to and including the next block/block/
16:37:06 [fantasai]
fantasai: but I guess that makes it ambiguous
16:37:45 [dbaron]
it might be clearer if we say that it's the next semicolon not in a block
16:38:17 [fantasai]
several prefer Bert's original proposal
16:38:27 [fantasai]
fantasai: I can live with that if we add a comma before the second 'or'
16:38:40 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Bert's first proposal accepted with comma before second or
16:38:53 [dbaron]
mine are not ready
16:39:00 [sylvaing]
not ready either

Next issue

Topic: REquest for new pseudos to Selectors spec
16:40:22 [fantasai]
Daniel: I think it's too late in process to add these to css3-selectors
16:40:33 [fantasai]
agreemeent
16:40:48 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Deferred to future specs
16:42:04 [fantasai]
Daniel: Please make sure to book your hotels and flights
16:42:17 [fantasai]
Daniel: And add topics to agenda http://wiki.csswg.org/planning/sophia-2009
