Topic: CT Guidelines - ACTION-928 - X- headers

François summarizes the discussion that went on the IETF mailing list. We proceed with the registration in the provisional registry.
13:39:00 [EdC]
The issue is the name: X-Device prefixed fields will probably be hard to get accepted in the permanent registry. However, it seems that a W3C recommendation may require a permanent registration.
13:39:24 [EdC]
The net effect: while it is possible to make a provisional registration, a permanent registration will require extensive discussions with IETF.
13:39:28 [Zakim]

13:41:14 [EdC]
Question from DKA about the transitional period if a new field is introduced: there is no way to limit the transition period, both deprecated and new fields would have to be supported. Suggestion from IETF: register X-Device as deprecated, temporary and a new, non X-prefixed set fields as permanent.
13:41:38 [EdC]
However, while this is "clean" regarding naming, it does not really solve the transition mess.
13:42:39 [EdC]
Summa summarum: X-Device fields will be temporary registered. Depending on the feedback on "last call" on the recommendation, the final discussion about the header field will be undertaken.
13:43:27 [EdC]
Any introduction of a new field is formally tiny, but has large implications and we would need a new "last call" to introduce such a modification.
13:44:25 [EdC]
Feedback from IETF about X-prefixed fields is a bit wary. In practice, several X-fields are used in production deployment in the Internet.
13:45:28 [EdC]
So, there is still a chance to get X-Device fields permanently registered IF a) the usage is clearly explained b) the reason is substantiated and clearly motivated. Then the IETF might accept a permanent registration of X-Device fields.
13:45:41 [EdC]
For now: let us register the said fields temporarily.
13:46:05 [francois]
Topic: CT Guidelines - remaining actions
13:46:14 [EdC]

ACTION-998?

ACTION-994?
13:52:44 [trackbot]

13:52:44 [trackbot]
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/actions/994
13:53:52 [EdC]
The idea with 998 / 790 is to insert some warnings regarding the possible effect of using Javascript on accessibility (may prevent it or make difficult alternative representation).
13:53:53 [yeliz]
Adam, related to ARIA on mobile, there was a discussion about it on the WAI-IG: http://markmail.org/message/rxytoldjco4cyp44
13:54:11 [EdC]
Topic 4. Actions and Issues
13:55:05 [EdC]
François mentions that we will have to tackle the issue regarding of the TPAC. Should we attend or not?
13:55:50 [EdC]
What would be the reason to hold a meeting in the TPAC if our work (CTG, MWABP, etc) is mostly concluded and published?
13:57:16 [EdC]
From DKA: he will be co-chairing a Web-incubator event, and dealing with device API, widget sessions. If the BPWG meets, it would be important that the agenda do not conflict (DKA is already very booked at the TPAC).
13:58:20 [EdC]
The issue floats in the air and will be taken back later
13:58:48 [EdC]
There is currently no issue about this specific topic. Why no create one, at least to remind us about it?
13:58:51 [francois]
ISSUE: To go or not to go to TPAC 2009?
13:58:51 [trackbot]
Created ISSUE-299 - To go or not to go to TPAC 2009? ; please complete additional details at http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/299/edit .
13:59:43 [EdC]
Status for next week: there is a call agreed. Will Jo Rabin be back? In principle yes.
