Sam: W3C had a survey, results were in the no category (79%). so based on that, all use cases, except for forking, will be addressed. didn
... t see much comments so far

plh: we're going on a draft for the license, as fast as we can. This is a followup to ACTION-29.

<paulc> apologies for being late.

Sam: TAG meeting. TAG requested a document to specify how one createa polyglot document (documents that can served as text/html or application/xhtml+xml and work well)
... I do that on my website

Rob: I do that as well

Paul: should we look for a volunteer?

Sam: I'd love to contribute
... I'll work with the co-chairs on the response to the TAG request

<scribe> ACTION: Sam to respond to the TAG request on polyglot documents [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/25-html-wg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-176 - Respond to the TAG request on polyglot documents [on Sam Ruby - due 2010-04-01].

Sam: the TAG review may produce comments on ISSUE 41 and discussion around them

Paul: at first, a minority of TAG members suggested we just deal with the proposals and let the TAG see the results. I suggest instead that the TAG should look at the proposals and tell us if any of them meet their principles.
... so that the TAG describe what success might mean on ISSUE 41

Task Force Status Reports - Testing

12. Task Force Status Reports

Kris: met again this week. spent time on test submission, feedback, and approval.

<krisk> Meetings notes http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-testsuite/2010Mar/0016.html

<pimpbot> Title: [miniutes] HTML Testing Task Force Conf Call Agenda 3/23/2010 from Kris Krueger on 2010-03-25 (public-html-testsuite@w3.org from March 2010) (at lists.w3.org)

Kris: I'd like to come back to the Working Group next time to make sure we're going in the right direction

<paulc> Back on TAG item - the document we referenced in Nov 2009 is at http://www.la-grange.net/2009/07/05/html5-xhtml5/

<pimpbot> Title: HTML 5 and XHTML 5 - one vocabulary, two serializations (at www.la-grange.net)

Kris: so if you have opinions or feedback, please look at our wiki
... e review a couple of tests and will move them into the approved folder
... so first tests approved for HTML5!

<paulc> TAG joint meeting minutes: http://www.w3.org/2009/11/05-html-wg-minutes.html#item02

<pimpbot> Title: HTML WG face-to-face in Santa Clara -- 05 Nov 2009 (at www.w3.org)

Kris: other than that, list is picking up slightly this month...

Sam: the document pointed by Paul describes how to generate HTML/XHTML from a DOM tree, while we're interested in producing a DOM from HTML/XHTML

Janina: no meeting this for the a11y task force. a large majority of participants disappeared in the CSUN conference.
... we've been taking up ARIA mapping for HTML
... there is a long way to go for it still. looked at 1/8 or 1/4 of it
... not before June or July for ARIA mappings
... mapping to accessibility APIs
... that's a big job

Cynthia: aren't we going to have separate meetings soon?

Janina: for ARIA mappings yes

Cynthia: I think that ARIA mappings and accessibility APIs mapping should be discussed at the same time. there are the same thing.

Janina: then I'm confused...

Cynthia: they'll probably two separate documents but developed in parallel

Janina: is summer 2010 the right timeline?

Cynthia: yes
... so, we're going to start working on a11y APIs mapping after CSUN

Paul: which tracker issues are we talking about?

Mike: that might be the only issue/action that can map to the work at the moment. might need to reframe it

<rubys> action-138?

<trackbot> ACTION-138 -- Steve Faulkner to produce an ARIA matrix based on Henri's work -- due 2010-03-25 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/138

Cynthia: "HTML elements mapping to ARIA and A11y APIs" would be a better title for ACTION-138

Paul: we need an issue for it, otherwise it won't block us from moving to LC

Mike: at this point, it's not contentious, but we're waiting on a proposal

Cynthia: there is a bug on the anchor

Mike: maybe we should raise bugs at the element level indeed

Cynthia: can we make an issue for it?

Paul: the WG will need to have consensus on getting to LC.
... sometimes, LC aren't feature complete indeed. so it would be best if we were feature complete and stable but that's a decision for the WG.

Cynthia: I see that as a feature rather than a bug
... it hasn't yet been done

Paul: but we don't know if the group thinks the feature is mandatory or not

<MikeSmith> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0426.html

Mike: I posted a preliminary message, asking for Dick to reply about the API, because he has a point of disagreement. didn't get a reply from him yet
... so I'm going to call for consensus on the API
... it's part of ISSUE 9
... text association piece still needs to be done
... but we can move the API discussion into the Working Group by next week

Sam: so text association wouldn't be sooner than May?

Mike: yes, unless there is new information, we're going to move forward with the API

Dave: CSS media queries for video and audio selections. I posted an idea.
... Rich might have an idea as well

<trackbot> ISSUE-9 -- how accessibility works for <video> is unclear -- RAISED

plh: is it part of ISSUE 9?

Dave: yes
... this is about the media query feature on the source element to select the proper element
... based on a11y needs
... we need the details worked out
... but we'll be ready by May
... we might not need to change the HTML spec as such. probably a change in media queries

Sam: ISSUE-30: long desc. target is April 22

Janina: still good

Sam: ISSUE-31, missing alt. target is April 22.

Janina: the point of 22 is if we make good progress at the f2f, we'll make it. if we don't, we'll need to update the deadline.

Paul: so, what's the deadline for doing the work?

Janina: I'd like to look at it at the f2f
... we'll have a better idea after the f2f on how long it will take

Sam: ISSUE-32. No earlier than April 29.

Janina: yes

Sam: ISSUE-66?

Janina: new proposals have been put forward, it's now a live issue again?

<mjs> (hi everyone; I'm busy with greeting arrivals to the TC-39 meeting but if my input is needed on anything I can comment on IRC, just ping me)

Sam: ISSUE-74. deadline for remaining parts?

<RobEnnals> I need to drop off now...

Janina: the 1/3 to 1/2 part can be moved into the HTML WG now.
... for the remainer, it will take an other week to two.
... safest is April 15
... it's not controversial but essential
... whether it's 1/3 or 1/2, depends on the proposal. the proposal wasn't complete yet, but might not be esssential.
... I don't know if Charles worked on it

Sam: ISSUE-80, April 22

Janina: yes, the deadline is still correct

<janina> Charles is at CSUN in San Diego
