HTTP and defaulting to UTF-16LE
15:51:37 [r12a]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/77
15:51:56 [aphillip]
If the HTTP header declares the file to be UTF-16BE, which I believe it can, and in which case a BOM should *not* be used, then I think that this would not be true. If the HTTP header declares the file to be UTF-16, then there must be a BOM, so I assume that this is a recovery mechanism if someone does declare UTF-16 in HTTP but omits the BOM. I'd think that some kind of error message would be in order though.

http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/78
15:53:14 [aphillip]
The spellcheck attribute currently is limited to user-edited text. It would be useful to have some way of identifying content that should not be spellchecked in an editor or by an automated spellchecking service. It would seem most intuitive to use the same attribute for this, but more carefully distinguish between the case where the user agent is dealing with user editable text and non-user-editable text, if necessary.

addison: so a processing instruction for editing tools??

Multilingual q quote rendering
15:56:34 [aphillip]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/79
15:56:47 [aphillip]
It would be useful to add a note to this section to remind readers that the default characters used for quotation marks are set in the default stylesheet[1], and will vary depending on the user's locale and language preferences. But that users may need to override the defaults for text in a particular language, and that they can do so using the quotes property in CSS (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#quotes-specify).
15:56:57 [aphillip]
addison: think this is a good comment

richard: there is a note that UA's should take language into account
15:57:38 [aphillip]

"Rules setting the 'quotes' property appropriately for the locales and languages understood by the user are expected to be present." How are the locales and languages understood by the user determined? Is this related to the Accept-Language settings of the browser? I'm assuming that the requirement here is to provide a single default only per browser installation, rather than to provide defaults for text in various languages (which would be a nice plus). If

Non-ASCII enumerated values
16:08:41 [aphillip]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/82
16:08:50 [aphillip]
I realize that the set of "enumerated values" in HTML5 consists strictly of ASCII strings. However, there is no syntactical requirement that this be true. Non-ASCII values could be included into an enumerated value set, in which case, the "ACSII case-insensitive" match may be incomplete. Instead of using "ASCII case-insensitive", could Unicode case-folded matching be defined instead? This is stable, well-defined, and a strict superset of the ASCII case?

addison: somewhat pedantic, may not be worth raising?

Note about why Gregorian only used

http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/83
16:11:06 [aphillip]
The section describes date values using strictly the Gregorian calendar. As long as the values are strictly internal (as a means of representing incremental or floating time values, cf. our note Working With Time Zones), this doesn't represent a barrier to the use of other calendric systems. Please include a note indicating this so that international users understand why Gregorian is used here.

In parsing a 'time' value, the rule for the hours section is: "Two digits, representing hour, in the range 0 ≤ hour ≤ 23". Should this optionally allow only one digit?

Leap seconds

There is a note disallowing the representation of leap seconds. This poses a potential problem for applications sensitive to leap seconds. Should the values be allowed, even if later processing does not deal with it?

The International Earth Rotation And Reference Systems Service (IERS) Earth Orientation Center is taking comments on whether to get rid of leap seconds. http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc/index.php?index=questionnaire

Local/floating date and time
16:25:53 [aphillip]
This defines a 'global date and time', which is the same as a 'local date and time', only with a time zone representation. I propose changing the 'local' value to use the term 'floating' (since it is not truly local). The term 'global' could remain. I would also suggest adding a reference to w3.org/TR/timezone (our note) to help users understand when to use which type.

16:27:54 [aphillip]
This section defines 'local dates and times', which is a date-and-time value *without* a time zone. This type seems problematic because it does not deal with the time zone problem. Its relationship to either floating or incremental times is completely arbitrary. See also Issue 88.

addison: so have more understanding... modeling JS Date(). There are use cases like airline schedules where useful. Question is about giving good guidance to authors.

15 minute time zones
16:33:36 [aphillip]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/91
16:33:44 [aphillip]
The note on time zone offsets says in part: "...and the minutes component of offsets of actual time zones is always either 00, 30, or 45." Really this is arbitrary and prone to change. The total range of time zones also changes from time to time. I would suggest inserting a "at the time this document was published" caveat such that innocent readers are not caught by surprise by a new 15 mintue time zone offset or by more monkey business surrounding the IDL.

Time zone offset vs. time zone

16:34:58 [aphillip]
This section gives a number of examples that equate time zone offset with an actual time zone. For example: -- "1979-10-14T12:00:00.001-04:00" One millisecond after noon on October 14th 1979, in the time zone in use on the east coast of the USA during daylight saving time. -- It should be made clear that a zone offset is not the same thing as a time zone. Mention should be made of the need for separate time zone information when working with real date and t

implicit conversion to incremental time
16:36:28 [aphillip]
Rule 9 in the parsing of a valid global date and time is: "Let time be the moment in time at year year, month month, day day, hours hour, minute minute, second second, subtracting timezonehours hours and timezoneminutes minutes. That moment in time is a moment in the UTC time zone.". It is not clear what type 'time' is. It appears to be a field-based time value, but it this intended as an implicit conversion to incremental time?

This section defines 'weeks'. The rules for weeks and week counting are culturally linked, but these rules define week start as always Monday. The rule for determining the "first week" that it includes the first Thursday (again, a culturally variant value). Shouldn't there be provision for allowing culturally specific week rules be applied?
