07:14:37 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: I can do a few testcases.
07:15:25 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I wrote a few tests. They're not submitted to the testsuite.
07:15:48 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: please send those tests to arronei
07:16:08 [TabAtkins_]
Issue 101 is reassigned to Arron.
07:16:10 [dbaron]

07:16:58 [TabAtkins_]

07:17:27 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: So by the time of the next conf call?
07:17:29 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: Yes.
07:17:49 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 110 relies on 109.
07:18:12 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Was john daggett supposed to be here?
07:18:21 [TabAtkins_]

07:20:14 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Can you get it by the conf call?
07:20:15 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: Yes.
07:20:37 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 121, I sent a proposal.
07:20:52 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Did anyone review that?
07:21:07 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: I just sent it 2 days ago, so maybe people haven't seen it yete.
07:21:19 [dbaron]
is there a url?
07:21:20 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Action on everyone: review the proposal by next conf call.

07:22:08 [TabAtkins_]

07:22:22 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: You already have the dbaron proposal for that, so same ETA?
07:22:24 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: Yes.

07:22:35 [TabAtkins_]

07:22:57 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Open issue now, about backup in tokenizer - 129.
07:23:05 [TabAtkins_]

07:25:52 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Has anyone tested this in an implementation?
07:25:57 [johnjansen]
johnjansen has joined #css
07:26:07 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: The only real change is that we change how we handle bad urls.
07:26:25 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think that we made the change in Moz a few weeks ago when the group decided to make the change in priciple.
07:26:34 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: No objection? Good.
07:26:53 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Accept Bert's proposal for 129.
07:27:36 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 131, I think I've already done it.
07:27:42 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I need to go through all of them and make sure.
07:27:50 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Issue 134.
07:27:55 [fantasai]
and then update the issues list )
07:28:19 [dbaron]
I changed Gecko to match the new url() tokenization in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569646 which has been on trunk since June 3.
07:28:25 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: Done.
07:28:54 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 137, not done yet.
07:29:14 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 138, not done yet.
07:29:19 [CesarAcebal]

07:29:47 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 139, haven't done yet, but should be very easy.
07:30:07 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 140, sent a proposal yesterday.
07:30:23 [Bert]
Ûhttp://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0435.html
07:30:45 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Everyone, review this so we can decide on it next call.
07:30:58 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 141, edited.
07:31:07 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 142, edited.
07:31:32 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 143, not done yet, but should be easy.
07:32:25 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: 144, text-decoration and visibility. iirc, we didn't finish the discussion and deferred it to the ftf.
07:32:36 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: I think you said that all browsers have interop, which doesn't match the new proposal.
07:32:53 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: Yeah, they all do the same thing - drawing the decoration in the invisible area.
07:33:20 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: So we can either change the spec or tell all the implementors to change. Your choice.
07:33:59 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: I don't think decorations actually matter to authors very much.
07:34:07 [TabAtkins_]
[jdaggett enters the arena]
07:34:24 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I know we intentionally changed the image underlining, and I want to keep that.
07:34:35 [lstorset]
lstorset has joined #css
07:37:50 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: So I want to keep the spec, and change Moz's impl.
07:38:23 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Doing so would let us remove the quirks/standards impl for text-decoration.
07:38:34 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think webkit has a similar distinction.
07:38:38 [fantasai]

07:38:38 [TabAtkins_]
s/remove/unify/
07:39:26 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Hakon, opinion?
07:39:52 [TabAtkins_]
johnjansen: We'd prefer not to change our impl.
07:40:17 [alexmog]

07:40:18 [TabAtkins_]
dstorey: Is it a minor change?
07:40:23 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Yeah, should be.
07:41:02 [jdaggett]
jdaggett has joined #css
07:42:52 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: What if you use visibility:collapse?
07:43:25 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: You don't draw the collapsed cell at all. It's quite different.
07:43:44 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: If we have interop, we should just keep that.
07:43:55 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think the interop behavior is a complete disaster.
07:44:03 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: And the quirksmode behavior is better than standards mode.
07:44:59 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Proposal - leave it undefined in 2.1 and leave a note, define it properly in css3.
07:45:39 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Leave issue 144 officially undefined, add a note that it will be resolved in css3.
07:45:47 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: I'll remove the tests.
07:47:03 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: The issue is that the spec was unclear about whether text decorations were based on the visibility of the text or the visibility of the element with text-decoration.
07:47:23 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The spec is not clear, but the rest of the model that it outlined in the spec is more consistent with one impl than the other.
07:47:43 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Also, we discussed both underlined text, and about underlining images.
07:47:53 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The image underlining issue is taken care of.
07:47:59 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: What about impls?
07:48:11 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: It's inconsistent.
07:48:36 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: So the only ambiguity is about underlining text in a visibility:hidden element?
07:48:39 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Yeah.
07:49:16 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 145, not done yet. I can get it by next call.
07:49:37 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 146, not done yet.
07:49:45 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 147, not done yet.
07:49:58 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 148, not done yet.
07:50:16 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 149, not done yet.
07:50:59 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: I think Moz already implemented that.
07:51:23 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think other impls have it coming now.
07:51:39 [dbaron]
I think other impls have done it for a while
07:54:20 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: The decision was made during a conf call, and recorded in the minutes. You should be reading the minutes and objecting as soon as possible afterwards if you miss a call.
07:54:54 [TabAtkins_]
dsinger: I think we might want a note that some user agents start off at a zoom factor other than 1.
07:59:44 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Where in this decision does it say that this only applies to screen media?
08:00:37 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: It doesn't need to do so explicitly. There is a note that high-res devices should set the in or other physical unit to the true physical size, while low-rez devices are recommended to use the px as the anchor unit.
08:02:17 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett: I think we shoudl go ahead and draft up some revised text for that.
08:02:27 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: dsinger, can you send a suggestion for the note you want?
08:02:43 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: If Hakon and others have comments, please make them as soon as possible.
08:02:49 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 150, edited.
08:03:36 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 151, not done yet. I can get it done by next conf call.
08:03:40 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 152, edited.
08:04:07 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 153, not done yet. Next conf call.
08:04:32 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: 154, now that jdaggett and I are both here we can talk about it. Next conf call.
08:04:39 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 155, not done yet, but should be trivial.
08:05:03 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett: 156, the edit has been put in, but I think some of the surrounding statements need to be cleaned up to match.
08:05:25 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett: Is that a new issue or just wrap it up in the current one? I also haven't written a new test case.
08:05:27 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Not a new issue.
08:05:41 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett: Ok, I'll make a proposal for further edits tomorrow.
08:06:00 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: 157, not done yet.
08:06:31 [mollydotcom]
Tab: Proposal 831 cleared up some minor collapse issues
08:06:45 [fantasai]
jdaggett, I think the edits didn't make it in 100% as there was a sentence "Once the family's weights..." in the proposal that didn't make it in for 156
08:06:49 [fantasai]
afaict
08:07:30 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: issue 158
08:07:49 [dbaron]

08:07:55 [mollydotcom]
Tab: Anything I've already is probably invalid at this point
08:08:12 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: I've seen some proposals from Anton, let's sit down and talk it through
08:08:28 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: Do we need to make some time
08:08:50 [mollydotcom]
Tab: Yes, we'll talk by ourselves tonight and then need some time
08:09:01 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: We'll do our best
08:09:23 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: Deferred until discussed
08:09:34 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Issue 159.

08:10:17 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: That's what my 8.3.1 rewrite was for.
08:10:27 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: And I think arronei reviewed it and said it was good.

08:10:36 [TabAtkins_]

08:10:55 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I need more time to review it to make sure it's good.
08:11:15 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: We'll discuss it on the first conf call after the meeting.
08:11:35 [TabAtkins_]
ACTION everyone: review the 8.3.1 proposal

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0404.html
08:13:47 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Open to the WG, 172 - table caption and content overflows.
08:14:10 [tantek]
FWIW - I reviewed http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0391.html and it looks good to me (fantasai's v3 of Clarifying 8.3.1 Collapsing Margins)
08:14:52 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Issue is that the caption overflows in non-useful ways when the table is small.
08:15:19 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: My proposal was to make the caption act like a cell for purpose of table width.
08:15:25 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Does any impl do that?
08:15:32 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Yes, Konqueror, and some older browsers, I think ie6.
08:15:52 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: This changes the computed final width of the table, essentially providing a minimum width for it.
08:16:25 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So when you lay out a table, you calculate the actual width, and then use min(that, specified width). I'm proposing using the caption width also.
08:16:55 [fantasai]
Tantek: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/csswg-issues/incoming/css2.1/table-caption-004.xht
08:18:14 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: It might be worth noting that this only applies to top/bottom captions.
08:18:28 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: We can note that, sounds like a good idea.
08:22:47 [glazou_]

08:23:51 [CesarAcebal_]
CesarAcebal_ has joined #css
08:26:28 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: This proposal will break the table-caption-004 test.
08:27:37 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: If the caption is large enough to make the page scroll, this change will make the entire table stretch off the page.
08:27:45 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Will this break anything?
08:28:16 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: table captions are used so rarely that I don't think it will affect anything significant.
08:29:15 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: If I rewrite the test case to use <table>, I think IEMac5.2 matches your proposal.
08:29:29 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Right, a lot of the older generation of browsers do that.
08:30:28 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Can we reach a decision here?
08:30:43 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I'm okay with it. I'm not super happy when the caption is extra wide, but shrug.
08:31:39 [glazou]
gsnedders: mid-afternoon probably
08:31:51 [glazou]
gsnedders: after all issues are browsed and discussed
08:32:22 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Probably in the case that the caption width has a small fixed width, we should make it so that the table can be larger than that and the caption stays small.
08:32:51 [gsnedders]
glazou: Okay, I'll probably join then
08:33:05 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Accept fantasai's proposal for 172.

08:47:53 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Is it still workable?
08:48:01 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I've emailed back and forth with henri.
08:48:16 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: He says "I want carriage returns inserted wherever to be whitespace."
08:48:29 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I said "What kind of whitespace?"
08:49:06 [fantasai]
fantasai: He didn't know. Thought it should be normalized as a line break in pre
08:49:33 [fantasai]
fantasai: But that would make DOM text and generated content text behave inconsistently, because CR is ignored in generated content
08:50:02 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I think I'll still need a while to do this.
08:50:08 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: A couple of hours.
08:51:01 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Maybe can do it before we end here, if not, then by the next conf call.
08:51:13 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Send it by next Wednesday, so we have a week to review it before the conf call.
08:51:23 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Otherwise it's undefined in 2.1

glazou: new open issue, 183 - handling of malformed media types
08:55:14 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: We seem to be saying two different things here about what to do with the malformed queries.
08:55:39 [ChrisL]
ChrisL has joined #css
08:55:47 [TabAtkins_]
chrisl: It should be possible for us to just match up with what MQ says now.
08:56:11 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: What's the mismatch? Is it just that we have 2.1 say that unknown identifiers dont' match anything, but aren't parse errors?
08:57:54 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So 2.1 says to ignore unknown media types, but do you ignore malformed ones or throw them away?
08:58:03 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think we ignore.
08:58:40 [dbaron]
The appendix G grammar says it has to be an identifier in 2.1
08:58:42 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I don't think anything is said that media types have to be identifiers
08:58:53 [dbaron]
but it doesn't seem to say that outside the appendix G grammar
08:59:20 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Does this affect any impls?
08:59:35 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Anyone that doesn't implement MQ that are currently maintained?
08:59:49 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Because this change only affects impls that do 2.1 and not MQ.
08:59:56 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I think some of the printers may.
09:00:11 [fantasai]
fantasai: But they probably want to implement MQ as awell
09:00:26 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Can't we just say that MQ supercedes 2.1 here?
09:00:39 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: That's in the snapshot, but it's still not clear what an "unknown media type" is.
09:01:11 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Since we're making Appendix G informative, we should add a note that media types must be identifiers, and non-identifiers make the whole thing invalid.
09:01:25 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: We should probably go through Appendix G and check for similar occurences like that.
09:01:59 [TabAtkins_]
dsinger: Is there a difference between an unknown and an invalid type?
09:02:09 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If it's not an identifier, it's invalid and throw it away.
09:02:18 [fantasai]
"@media and @import rules with unknown media types are treated as if the unknown media types are not present. "
09:02:40 [fantasai]
"@media and @import rules with unknown media types (as identifiers) are treated as if the unknown media types are not present."
09:02:43 [fantasai]
?
09:02:57 [fantasai]
plus "If an @media rule contains a malformed media type (not an identifier) then the statement is invalid"
09:03:25 [fantasai]
s/as identifiers/that are nonetheless valid identifiers/
09:03:43 [fantasai]
Note: Media Queries supercedes this error handling.
09:04:17 [TabAtkins_]

09:10:23 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I think arronei and I talked about this, and wanted to make it undefined in 2.1, since you can't move the marker box anyway. Also, there are some significant details that may be affected by implementations, so we want to wait and then spec behavior in CSS3.
09:10:58 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: We shouldn't put a recommendation in 2.1, but we might put a note saying it's undefined or leave it out completely.
09:11:05 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: I prefer marking it undefined.
09:11:29 [TabAtkins_]

09:14:06 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I don't think we want to make the second change.
09:14:48 [TabAtkins_]
dsinger: I think the "further" lacks a referent.
09:15:03 [fantasai]
dbaron proposes s/further content/content after the float/
09:15:17 [fantasai]
and s/it/that content/
09:16:09 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: And the third issue is invalid - Bert gave an example where the content may have to be reflowed onto multiple lines.
09:16:31 [TabAtkins_]

glazou: 194 is open to the working group - text-indent shouldn't apply to non-first-lines of an element.
09:18:57 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The issue is that if you have a block split by another block, thus generating anonymous blocks, you don't want the two halves of the paragraph indented.

dbaron: Prose text seems fine.

09:27:56 [TabAtkins_]
dsinger: Do we have impl experience?
09:28:14 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: In the test, if it's underlined you accept nbsp in an identifier.
09:28:25 [TabAtkins_]
dsinger: Safari is underlining, firefox is not.
09:28:43 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Prose says nbsp isn't allowed, grammar says it is.
09:28:55 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: We always say that prose is higher than the grammar.
09:29:11 [TabAtkins_]
ChrisL: Is there a reason to be more restrictive?
09:29:34 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Usually we use the prose to be more restrictive, but here there doesn't seem to be any reason for the difference.
09:31:23 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Change prose to match the grammar.

fantasai: So there were two related issues, one is that the range given started at A1 instead of A0. We resolved to include A0
10:42:07 [fantasai]
fantasai: The other issue is that the range in between the two formulations of the range used to not be characters

fantasai: but now are control characters
10:42:27 [fantasai]
fantasai: The spec relied on them not being characters when defining the range

fantasai: They should instead be explicitly excluded
10:44:11 [fantasai]

10:51:44 [fantasai]

10:56:11 [fantasai]

(And do run-ins run in to a first child of the following block if the first child is also a block?)

11:08:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: So this isn't as complicated as it looks.
11:08:51 [fantasai]
dbaron: We just need to make sure the spec defines clear in terms of the box tree instead of the element tree.
11:09:41 [fantasai]
dbaron: But that means we need to get the spec to admit that there is a box tree.

11:11:19 [Zakim]
ok, ChrisL
11:13:13 [fantasai]
Tab: The definition of clearance is based on the element tree, so it's asking the <div> to clear the float here, even though the float would be inside the clearing element
11:13:22 [fantasai]
s/clearing element/clearing box/
11:14:59 [fantasai]
dbaron: We could fix this by adding a parenthetical to the float rules talking about floats inside the clearaing element to explicitly include the contents of run-in elements
11:15:12 [dbaron]
Inside "The 'clear' property does not consider floats inside the element itself or in other block formatting contexts." in 9.5.2
11:16:20 [dbaron]
to something like "The 'clear' property does not consider floats inside the element itself (including floats inside a 'display:run-in' element that runs in to the element) or in other block formatting contexts."
11:16:23 [fantasai]
dsinger: Is it completely clear what "inside" means in that section?
11:16:25 [fantasai]
everyone: noe
11:16:27 [fantasai]
s/noe/no/
11:17:35 [dbaron]
We also need to fix the float positioning rules in 9.5.1
11:17:39 [dbaron]
because they also go by source order.
11:17:42 [fantasai]
bert: So what if you have a float in between the run-in and the block also?
11:21:04 [dbaron]
and if the float not in the run-in has 'clear' on it then you have an explicit contradiction
11:21:11 [dbaron]
we need a box tree
11:22:03 [fantasai]
discussion of float placement rules
11:22:34 [fantasai]
steve: So instead of saying that the float is inside the element that the float is inside a run-in rendered inside the principal box.
11:22:40 [fantasai]
dbaron: how does that help?
11:23:06 [fantasai]
dbaron: .. old problem. Doesn't help the new problem.
11:23:10 [fantasai]
dbaron: The new problem is if you have
11:23:23 [fantasai]
<runin><floatA/></runin>
11:23:27 [fantasai]
<floatB/>
11:23:36 [fantasai]
<block></block>
11:23:44 [fantasai]
dbaron: The floats are both left
11:24:05 [fantasai]
floatA, floatB { float: left; }
11:24:15 [fantasai]
floatB, block { clear: left; }
11:24:25 [fantasai]
dbaron: The definition of clear on floats says that floatB has to be below floatA
11:24:38 [fantasai]
dbaron: Because it has to clear any elements earlier *in the source document*
11:25:09 [fantasai]
dbaron: The definition of clear on blocks says that the block has to be below floatB
11:25:35 [fantasai]
dbaron: And the float positioning rules say that floatA has to be even with the top of the block that contains, i.e. at or below the top of the block
11:26:25 [fantasai]
steve: So say for a run-in, that combines with the following block, it is considered a reordering in the source docuent
11:27:28 [dbaron]
so if "below" is "greater than", then floatB < floatA, block < floatB, and floatA <= block, which is a problem
11:27:45 [fantasai]
tab: The more and more we try to patch the definitions here, the more of a mess it's going to get
11:27:57 [fantasai]
tab: Maybe we can patch it here in 2.1 and make a CSS3 Box Tree module
11:28:17 [fantasai]
ChrisL: We don't have to expose the box tree to the dom or anything, but we need to be clear about how it works
11:29:18 [fantasai]
Bert: Another option is to say that floats inside the runin disable the runin
11:30:17 [fantasai]
steve: What if I'm using float to get an initial drop-cap?
11:30:19 [lstorset2]
lstorset2 has joined #css

dbaron: Which is what we mean by defining the box tree
11:33:31 [fantasai]
alex: You'd also need to update Appendix E
11:34:43 [fantasai]
fantasai: so for chapter 8 and above you pretend the source has been reordered
11:36:40 [dsinger_]
but ... what happens if you need to be able to say something on the run-in that applies *without* this re-ordering, because then you would not be able to?
11:37:08 [fantasai]
steve: the def of run-in box says that it's rendered as if it were an inline element in the next block box
11:37:29 [fantasai]
steve: you could just clarify that the contents, including floats and abspos, are includedin this move

I feel that potential is a better term than phantom
12:00:36 [mollydotcom]
Daniel: Last issue on the radar, then we will decide to stop on these issue or not

12:01:26 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Accept proposal for CSS2.1 Issue 201 with "table wrapper box" as the term
12:02:29 [mollydotcom]
szilles and fantasai discussing vertical-align
12:02:51 [mollydotcom]
szilles: undefined is fine
12:03:54 [mollydotcom]
Daniel: CSS 2.1 issues freeze
12:04:17 [mollydotcom]
Daniel: stop registering issues now
12:04:31 [mollydotcom]
David: As long as we keep a list of them
12:05:00 [mollydotcom]
dsinger_: Will likely end up in errata or moved to CSS3
12:06:03 [mollydotcom]
fantasai: We are publishing a last call working draft, we are required to accept comments. FOr this round of editing, there's no reason why we shouldn't close down, publish, and consider anything else last call issues
12:06:18 [mollydotcom]
fantasai: they will have four weeks to comment
12:06:48 [mollydotcom]
RESOLVED: CSS 2.1 issues: FROZEN
12:07:02 [mollydotcom]
(no objections, very strong support)
12:08:23 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: if we have interop shown by reports, we go directly to pr
12:08:31 [mollydotcom]
(no objections)
12:10:01 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: Everything relies on implementation reports - completion of test suites, so let's discuss
12:10:12 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: LC->PR if we have exit criteria for 2.1
12:10:18 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: What remains on the radar with the test suite and when are we able to say it's ready?
12:10:49 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: we have to have "no suspected" issues, when that's complete I can publish
12:11:11 [mollydotcom]
jdaggett - there are tests that don't pass in any browsers
12:11:22 [mollydotcom]
dbaron: a bunch of people did respond to the tests in that list
12:12:07 [mollydotcom]
jdaggett: I've actively try to go to people I thought would care but I fear they will comment
12:12:15 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: at some point we have to freeze things
12:13:21 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: Browser vendors: you want css2.1 published but your teams have not evaluated the tests, have not already implemeted, even if we are going to CR/PR
12:13:39 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: if you want it published, we rely on your implementations. The entire thing is in your hands, not the WGs
12:14:24 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: If there's a problem with the test
12:14:37 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: Email the list, and then we will take a look at the test
12:14:45 [mollydotcom]
Fantasai: THEN we will push it to the WG
12:14:53 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: Not an issue with the spec
12:15:10 [mollydotcom]
fantasai: info on the wiki
12:15:25 [mollydotcom]
Glazou: suggest 1 Oct. for test suite
12:16:28 [mollydotcom]
Deadlines: Edits should be done for next conference call
12:16:35 [mollydotcom]
Bert: I'll be able to do my edits
12:17:27 [mollydotcom]
dsinger, fantasai: discussing automation of tests
12:18:31 [fantasai]
+jgraham and gsnedders
12:19:22 [mollydotcom]
gsnedders: Opera can help provide some help with that too
12:20:13 [mollydotcom]
jdaggett, dbaron: discussing tests and windows limitations
12:20:46 [mollydotcom]
Jdaggett: there are some tests that don't pass on any windows implementation but do pass on other platforms
12:20:49 [dbaron]
dbaron: Aaron, could you share the list of which tests pass on which browsers?
12:21:33 [mollydotcom]
jdaggett: for font tests this will be hard. Bold and non-bold versus bolder/lighter
12:21:47 [fantasai]
jdaggett: On windows you only have bold and nott bold
12:21:59 [fantasai]
jdaggett: you need to test on e.g. MacOS to get the full range of testing
12:22:07 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Windows will allow trivial passes
12:22:34 [fantasai]
glazou: The test suite isn't supposed to demonstrate interop, it'e supposed to demonstrate implementability
12:22:50 [fantasai]
glazou: The tests aren't conformance tests, they're spec implementability tests
12:23:04 [fantasai]
steve: You're testing for interoperable implementability
12:23:26 [fantasai]
jdaggett: When I say font-weight 100, it should pick the 100 weight font not the 400 weight font
12:23:40 [fantasai]
jdaggett: but on Windows you only get the 400 weight font
12:24:02 [fantasai]
dsinger_: The problem is what if you have two section so fthe spec that can be implemented, but not at the same time
12:24:44 [fantasai]
steve: The requirement is that there exist at least 2 impls
12:25:00 [fantasai]
dbaron: You can also get tests that fail in all windows implementations, and you need to find non-Windows implementations to get passes
12:25:02 [dsinger_]
s/section so fthe/sections of the/
12:25:50 [fantasai]
glazou: Next step is writing the implementation reports..
12:25:59 [fantasai]
dbaron: Arron, can you share that list of which tests pass on which browsers?
12:26:03 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: No, we can't
12:26:31 [fantasai]
ChrisL: The full data is a matrix in a spreadsheet that shows which tests pass in which versions of which browsers.
12:26:55 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: It's a very expensive process
12:27:43 [ChrisL]
And I would like to talk to Microsoft managers to get the relevant parts of that released to the working group. It will get us out of CR earlier
12:27:55 [fantasai]
glazou: For Selectors, hixie and I had to write the implementation reports ourselves
12:28:21 [fantasai]
glazou: It's always the case that some Members put in more resources into the WG on some things than others
12:29:08 [fantasai]
ChrisL: We wouldn't be asking MS to provide the data if you didn't already have it.
12:29:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: I don't consider it worth my time to go through the test suite.
12:29:53 [fantasai]
dbaron: But if you provide a set of tests that we fail, then I will review those tests.
12:30:02 [fantasai]
dbaron: So could you share the list of tests that fail in at least one browser?
12:30:16 [fantasai]
Arron: I've shared the lists of tests that don't pass in any browser, and those that I think are invalid
12:30:35 [fantasai]
Arron: Once we decide the test suite is solid, and we're getting there with Gérard reviewing a lot of the tests,
12:30:57 [fantasai]
Arron: Then when you run the tests you can look more closely at the tests you fail
12:31:28 [fantasai]
howcome: dbaron has 2 points I would like to emphasis
12:31:40 [fantasai]
howcome: One is that the tests are too many and give us too little
12:31:58 [fantasai]
howcome: We've all found ourselves in situations doing work on behalf of other browsers.
12:32:14 [fantasai]
howcome: And you have done that -- all the tests you've contributed
12:32:21 [fantasai]
glazou: It's perfectly normal.
12:32:32 [fantasai]
glazou: Microsoft wants 2.1 to be released ASAP, because you rely on it.
12:32:44 [fantasai]
glazou: Contributing the results of the tests will speed up the process. Not contributing it will slow us down.
12:33:01 [fantasai]
glazou: It's in your interest to contribut the results.
12:33:07 [fantasai]
Steve: The issue isn't the test results, the issue is the implementation reports
12:33:19 [ChrisL]
I would like to see Arron's list of 'tests passed by no windows browser' on the wiki, then remove tests that are passed on other platforms
12:33:38 [fantasai]
Steve: So we're not asking for a contribution of test results, we're asking for contribution of to the implementation reports
12:34:01 [fantasai]
Arron: These are only the HTML test results, not the XHTML tests
12:34:27 [dbaron]
dbaron: So there could be additional tests that don't pass in any browser.
12:35:18 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: We shared a lot of the data we have. The list of suspected invalid tests, and the list of tests that don't match.
12:35:23 [fantasai]
s/match/ pass/
12:35:56 [fantasai]
howcome: Can you provide the list of tests that fail in any one browser?
12:36:22 [fantasai]
glazou: A few years ago the only company interested in print was YesLogic.
12:36:27 [fantasai]
glazou: And afterward HP
12:36:35 [fantasai]
glazou: But not the other vendors were interested in print
12:36:45 [fantasai]
glazou: But we contributed time to working on those specs
12:37:02 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: The tests we contributed are available to anyone to run
12:37:15 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: We're not hiding anything.
12:37:40 [fantasai]
Arron: It's our time and money that we've put into creating the test results
12:38:14 [fantasai]
dsinger_: I'm grateful if he gives me the data, I don't think I can ask him to do that work for me and save me that time and money.
12:38:35 [fantasai]
JohnJansen: I wouldn't want you to trust our results either.
12:40:24 [fantasai]
dsinger_: Can we keep a page on the wiki of tests that are suspected to be wrong?
12:41:48 [fantasai]
ACTION: fantasai make said wiki page
12:41:48 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-256 - Make said wiki page [on Elika Etemad - due 2010-08-30].
12:41:52 [howcome]
howcome has left #css
12:42:47 [fantasai]
fantasai: People can start on implementation reports now. I can even throw out a beta 4 on Monday
12:43:00 [fantasai]
fantasai: But whenever I publish a release now I list all tests that have changed
12:43:14 [fantasai]
fantasai: So between releases you'd only have a handful of test results you might need to run
12:43:43 [fantasai]
glazou: I am requesting browser vendors to start implementation reports now.
12:44:28 [fantasai]
Arron: It takes 16 hours to run the tests by hand
12:44:39 [fantasai]
dsinger asks about automating them
12:44:48 [fantasai]
fantasai and Arron say it will take much longer to automate them
12:45:07 [fantasai]
dsinger_: How good is the coverage of the test suite
12:45:28 [fantasai]
gsnedders: Automating the tests isn't just a one time thing, because everyone would want to run them as regression tracking
12:45:36 [fantasai]
gsnedders: if they're manuall, they won't be run very often
12:45:44 [fantasai]
gsnedders: Automating the tests wont' just save time once
12:46:57 [fantasai]
jdaggett: For CSS3 modules do we have to follow this pattern?
12:48:13 [fantasai]
glazou: If we don't get your implementation reports, things are going to slow down.
12:48:41 [fantasai]
glazou: It relies on you.
12:48:46 [fantasai]
glazou: The sooner we get it, the better.
12:48:51 [fantasai]
dsinger_: Coverage?
12:49:01 [fantasai]
gsnedders++
12:49:20 [fantasai]
dbaron: There's questions of how you measure test coverage
12:49:32 [fantasai]
dbaron: you'd have to measure e.g. code coverage
12:49:41 [glazou]
gsnedders: exactly.
12:51:19 [fantasai]
fantasai explains what we have
12:51:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: The spec has lots and lots of interactions among features, many of which are not obvious
12:51:45 [fantasai]
dbaron: We don't have good coverage of those interactions.
12:52:08 [fantasai]
dbaron: There are sentences in the spec that require hundreds or thousands of tests just for that sentence. And we don't have that coverage.
12:53:00 [fantasai]
glazou: Anything else on the test suite and the roadmap?
12:53:10 [fantasai]
glazou: I remind you that the goal is still PR before the end of the year.
12:53:18 [fantasai]
glazou: This is important for both the WG and the W3C itself.
12:53:27 [fantasai]
glazou: We started this roughly ten years ago
12:53:51 [fantasai]
ChrisL: If the CSS2.1 can get to PR by the end of the year, there's still a chance that SVG 1.1 can normatively point to CSS2.1.
12:53:55 [fantasai]
ChrisL: I'd like that to happen.
12:54:14 [fantasai]
glazou: if we move 2.1 to PR, Selectors can move to REC, we solve a lot of dependencies.
12:54:35 [ChrisL]
s/1.1/1.1 Second Edition/

13:34:14 [szilles]

13:35:34 [fantasai]
Tantek: And consider 2.1 Errata as the work item
13:37:16 [fantasai]
Going through the list one at a time
13:37:30 [fantasai]
CSS2.1 - expect PR by end of year
13:38:24 [fantasai]
CSS3 Backgrounds and Borders - CR within 1.5 months, have implementations, need test suite, no PR by end of year, likely to REC within next period
13:38:31 [fantasai]
CSS3 Color - PR by end of this year
13:38:41 [fantasai]
CSS Mobile Profile - nobody here cares
13:39:30 [glazou]
http://www.w3.org/TR/css-mobile/
13:39:37 [fantasai]
It's in CR right now
13:40:35 [fantasai]
No testing done
13:40:47 [fantasai]
Tantek, Bert: To exit CR, you need two complete implementations.
13:41:44 [fantasai]
dsinger: Send OMA a liaison asking if they have finished it
13:42:02 [fantasai]
dbaron: It depends on specs not in CR
13:42:40 [fantasai]
fantasai: css3-marquee is in CR right now

13:43:39 [fantasai]

CSS Namespaces - Almost ready for PR, waiting for a pass on one test
13:44:54 [fantasai]
remains high priority
13:45:00 [fantasai]
CSS Object Model View - ask anne
13:45:13 [dbaron]
I'd say cssom-view is medium priority, but anyway...
13:47:20 [fantasai]
CSS Paged Media Level 3 - needs a lot more work to get to LC, then back to CR
13:48:26 [fantasai]
high priority for several industries, but we are low on resources b/c we the editors are booked with other things

keep high priority
13:49:05 [fantasai]
CSS Variables - drop to low priority -- hasn't changed in 2 years
13:49:53 [fantasai]
dbaron: Some of what stopped variables' progress is a misunderstanding
13:50:05 [fantasai]
dbaron: We wanted more data on it, to show that we're going in the right direction
13:50:21 [fantasai]

14:20:43 [fantasai]
dbaron: I would go for low priority, and keep it on the list. It's very similar to 2.1 maintenance -- it's an issue we deferred it because it was difficult, but it's 2.1 level work

14:23:16 [fantasai]

Topic: Viewport Proposal
14:55:38 [fantasai]
Rune: I wrote an internal spec to explain how we implement the viewport meta tag that Safari implements
14:55:50 [fantasai]
Rune: I've also written a propsoed CSS syntax for that functionality
14:55:56 [fantasai]
Rune: Here's the URL to the proposal

Rune: Not ging to go over proposal in detail, just have a couple of slides
14:56:42 [SteveZ2]
SteveZ2 has joined #css
14:56:54 [fantasai]
Rune: Problem is that in mobiel browsers you have a very narrow viewport.
14:57:10 [fantasai]
Rune: If you format the page with the viewport as the ICB, most documents on the Web will look really bad
14:57:24 [fantasai]
Rune: What mobile browsers now do is use a different ICB, more like a desktop width
14:58:10 [fantasai]
Rune: Since the desktop width is being used, if page authors want to make pages specifically for smaller screens, they need to override that desktop width that the browser uses
14:58:29 [fantasai]
Rune: THe current status is that Apple introduced a viewport meta tag
14:58:38 [fantasai]
Rune: Several browser vendors have made their own implementation
14:58:51 [fantasai]
Rune: Here's an example, you can specify a device width and set the zoom scale
14:59:13 [fantasai]
Bert: You set the initial zoom. That's the reader's business, not the author
14:59:32 [fantasai]
Bert: It's the wrong way around. If I want a specific width, I should just set this.
14:59:38 [fantasai]
Tantek: I strongly agree with your problem statement.
14:59:56 [fantasai]
Tantek: But what does this get you that max-width on the root element does not
14:59:57 [fantasai]
?
15:00:11 [fantasai]
fantasai: (or min-width?)
15:00:19 [fantasai]
Tantek: I think the meta tag idea was just dumb
15:00:52 [fantasai]
Tantek: If the author has set a max-width, the device didn't need to zoom out any more
15:00:57 [fantasai]
Tantek: There's no need for the meta tag
15:01:19 [fantasai]
Tantek: This was bad design by someone who did not understand how CSS works.
15:01:57 [fantasai]
Tantek: I'm addressing your third point -- the need for the author saying that a document is made to fit for smaller screen sizes
15:02:06 [fantasai]
dbaron: I think that's not entirely true.
15:02:17 [fantasai]
dbaron: Another problem that come up with pages that use this is pages that have a lot of text.
15:02:28 [fantasai]
dbaron: You really just want to read the text. You don't want to zoom out, and then zoom in to read the text.
15:02:43 [fantasai]
dbaron: It doesn't matter how wide the page is. You want the font size to be readable on the device.
15:03:00 [fantasai]
dbaron: In some cases you have a layout that works for anything from 150 to 400 pixels
15:03:12 [fantasai]
dbaron: e.g. i want to read a newspaper article on a mobile phone
15:03:39 [fantasai]
dbaron: I just want the text readable. I don't necessarily want to set a max-width.
15:04:20 [fantasai]
Alex: fixed positioning is also not fixed by max-width
15:05:08 [fantasai]
Tantek: I agree that dbaron's use case is valid. But it's not the problem solved by viewport meta tag, which *is* solved by max-width.
15:05:33 [fantasai]
Tantek: I would like to see better guidance, with the UA understanding and using and trusting max-width on the root element.
15:09:14 [fantasai]
Tantek: That solves the common use case.
15:09:29 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
15:09:55 [fantasai]
glazou: Let's hear out the rest of the presentation, and we'll discuss that afterwards
15:10:28 [fantasai]
Rune: Proposed syntax is to standardize the viewport meta functionality in CSS syntax
15:11:13 [fantasai]
Rune: Proposal is an @viewport block similar to @page block
15:11:25 [fantasai]
Rune: Properties include width, hieght, minimum-scale, maximum-scale, etc.
15:11:52 [fantasai]
glazou: I suggest changing "initial-scale" to "zoom"
15:12:18 [fantasai]
Rune: Issues include fixed positioning
15:12:33 [fantasai]
Rune: Fixed positioning is defined relative to the viewport
15:13:00 [fantasai]
Rune: with a containing block that matches the ICB
15:13:15 [fantasai]
Rune: The actual viewport here won't be the same as the ICB
15:13:24 [fantasai]
alexmog: That's why we have this concept of a virtual viewport
15:13:50 [fantasai]
Rune explains how the small viewport moves around the virtual viewport, and then pushing it beyond that boundary causes the content to jump
15:14:10 [fantasai]
Rune: My propose defines an extra viewport. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to call it the viewport or not.
15:14:55 [fantasai]
Rune: Other issues are, is this out-of-scope for CSSWG?
15:15:02 [fantasai]
Rune: e.g. the scaling values
15:15:11 [fantasai]
glazou: I think it's in scope, just question of whether we want to work on it
15:15:28 [fantasai]
Rune: You can also argue that aturhos should make pages that look good on all devices in the first place
15:16:12 [fantasai]
Bert: The problem with this it that it breaks all pages that are designed to work on mobile browsers
15:16:29 [fantasai]
Bert: My mobile browser worked fine, honored media queries, etc.
15:16:34 [fantasai]
Bert: But on Safari it doesn't work.
15:16:43 [fantasai]
Bert: I had to add this extra thing to make them readable.
15:17:03 [fantasai]
Bert: The ones that used to be readable on devices, no longer are readable.
15:17:22 [fantasai]
glazou: What is the interaction with Media Queries?
15:17:35 [fantasai]
Rune: The width and height media queries will match the ICB
15:17:45 [fantasai]
glazou: So what is the parsing order?
15:20:02 [fantasai]
fantasai: Paged media has the same problem with @page { size: ... }, see spec text there
15:20:24 [fantasai]
fantasai: I share dbaron and bert's concerns about universal design
15:20:40 [fantasai]
dbaron: i tried to design a page for iPhone both on landscape and portrait mode, and failed
15:21:12 [fantasai]
dbaron: The logic of the implementation in Safari is somehow wrong
15:22:01 [fantasai]
Andreas: Does it behave differently if load it in portrait mode first vs landscape mode first?
15:24:04 [fantasai]
+smfr over phone
15:24:27 [fantasai]
Tantek: I said that for the fixed width use case, the author can width or max-width today.
15:24:36 [fantasai]
smfr: I filed a bug on Apple, we just need to fix that.
15:24:51 [fantasai]
Tantek: For the device-width case, I do believe it belongs in CSS
15:25:11 [fantasai]
Tantek: I'll state for the record I proposed @viewport in 2004, and it was rejected :)
15:25:58 [fantasai]
Simon: I've been looking at feedback on the mailing list
15:26:12 [fantasai]
Simon: A problem is that a lot of the specs refer to a viewport
15:26:32 [fantasai]
Simon: This proposeal introduces 2 viewports, and you need to specify which viewport is being talked about
15:26:48 [fantasai]
Simon: And also the interaction between the 2 viewports needs to be specified.
15:27:05 [fantasai]
Rune: Yeah, I'm not sure if "viewport" is the right name
15:27:14 [fantasai]
Rune: esp. fixed positioning
15:27:20 [fantasai]
Simon: Fixed positioning is really difficult
15:27:31 [fantasai]
Simon: It gets really weird, especially with scaling
15:27:59 [fantasai]
Simon: Another concern I have is, I'm worried that we're settling on an implementation detail
15:28:11 [fantasai]
Simon: Some of them do real scrolling behavior, others do panning
15:28:29 [fantasai]
Simon: I'm worried that this is trying to specify something that different UAs will want to do differently.
15:28:52 [fantasai]
Tantek: There's wording around the way that overflow is specified in CSS that provides a lot of flexibility in how UAs do "scrolling"
15:29:04 [fantasai]
Tantek: I would like to see similar flexibility in this case as well.
15:29:16 [fantasai]
Tantek: So I think it's possible to address your concern.
15:29:34 [lstorset]
lstorset has joined #css
15:29:35 [fantasai]
dbaron: So, with regards to how much of this to specify
15:29:56 [fantasai]
dbaron: I think one of the criteria of how much to specify is what's going to break web content if someone else decides to go do it differently.
15:30:11 [fantasai]
dbaron: I think for some of the things you metnioned in CSSOM View, there's only one way that'll make e.g. events work right
15:30:15 [fantasai]
wrt clientX, etc.
15:30:23 [fantasai]
dbaron: You have to go with the assumptions the pages are making
15:30:50 [fantasai]
Simon: Another thing is what authors need
15:31:08 [fantasai]
Simon: e.g. some use cases need getClientRects to be relative to the visual viewport
15:31:48 [fantasai]
Rune: I think in most cases you want things relative to the layout viewport
15:32:22 [fantasai]
Rune: I see the visual viewport as a peephole over the layout viewport

Rune: If we remove the CSS syntax, what I have is the viewport meta tag
15:43:01 [fantasai]
Tantek: How soon would you implement this?
15:43:22 [fantasai]
Rune: Well, we have to support the meta tag. We don't have any pressing reason to support @viewport
15:43:37 [fantasai]
Rune: It doesn't take too much time to implement it, but that depends on internal priorities
15:43:47 [fantasai]
