RRSAgent, make logs public
16:25:04 [Bert]
Glazou, do you know if there is something like a SelectORacle in French?
16:25:17 [glazou]
Bert: euuuh
16:25:28 [glazou]
something "reading" a selector in french?
16:25:52 [glazou]
I don't think so
16:25:53 [Bert]
Translating a CSS selector into plain French
16:26:16 [glazou]
yeah, I have one in my CSS Editor add-on to bluegriffon, not sure it's localized
16:26:28 [glazou]
but I don't think emeyer ever had translations for his tool
16:26:29 [Bert]
"div p selects every P that is a child of a DIV" but in French.
16:26:34 [glazou]
yes yes
16:26:58 [Bert]
In BlueGriffon? Ah, nice!

17:08:41 [divya]
fantasai: kimberly and I took an action item to write a blog post about this. We are planning to do that next week.

glazou: probably good to defer to next week if we dont have right people in the call.
17:10:53 [stearns]
Rossen has already given regrets for next week
17:10:55 [divya]
glazou: is it okay for you florian and howcome to discuss this next week?
17:11:12 [divya]
fantasai: will write blogpost next week.
17:11:26 [divya]
glazou: will it happen before next call?
17:11:30 [divya]
fantasai: probably not.
17:11:45 [divya]
sylvaing: we should put a date to resolve it.
17:13:00 [divya]
sylvaing: it is a tricky decision. so it is fine to set a date to resolve it.
17:13:44 [divya]
glazou: we resolve in 2 weeks time
17:14:13 [divya]
TOPIC: Speech
17:14:19 [danielweck]
http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css3-speech
17:14:51 [divya]
glazou: max 20 mins for this.
17:15:32 [divya]
danielweck: not got enough feedback to determine our position on this. leave it another week and make decision next week on this issue.
17:15:40 [glazou]
issue 1 deferred
17:15:54 [divya]
issue 2, 3 is verified with wg consensus
17:16:54 [divya]
danielweck: issue 4 to 10, raised by gregory, some issues have been accepted, some are invalid. i think we can close them properly. waiting for verification of commenters report.
17:17:13 [divya]
glazou: you can put in your disposition of comments that the original commenter is unavailable at this time to verify this issue.
17:17:49 [divya]
danielweck: issue 11, 12, 13, 14 closed with wg consensus verified
17:17:58 [divya]
danielweck: 15 i need wg consensus.
17:18:42 [divya]
danielweck: introducing new feature, …something similar to fonts.
17:18:48 [divya]
danielweck: lets reject that.
17:19:00 [divya]
ChrisL: is that instead of … or in addition to.
17:19:13 [divya]
danielweck: do we have a WG resolution on it?
17:19:29 [divya]
RESOLVED: Move it to the next version
17:19:41 [divya]
danielweck: issue 16, agreement from commenter, missing WG approval.
17:20:04 [divya]
danielweck: about voice-family preserved value.
17:20:16 [divya]
fantasai: commenter asked to drop, but agreed to danielweck 's proposal to keep
17:20:27 [divya]
RESOLVED: keep the preserve value
17:20:40 [divya]
danielweck: issue 17 forcing boundaries marked it as closed invalid
17:20:47 [divya]
RESOLVED: marked invalid.
17:21:10 [divya]
danielweck: issue 18: renaming voice-stress to voice-emphasis
17:21:32 [divya]
danielweck: the commenters agree not to renaming it. do we have wg approval for not renaming it
17:21:39 [divya]
ChrisL: what is their argument for renaming it?
17:21:47 [divya]
glazou: stress seems to imply anger
17:22:11 [divya]
danielweck: i dont think it is a major issue.
17:22:16 [ChrisL]
ok so its the technical meaning of stress as opposed to the normal social meaning
17:22:20 [divya]
glazou: i have no objection myself.
17:22:45 [divya]
howcome: we shouldnt rename things for fun.
17:22:55 [ChrisL]
I think its better to keep the terms of art from the technical community
17:22:58 [divya]
ChrisL: if speech people use the term stress in a particular way we should use it the same way.
17:23:05 [divya]
RESOLVED: retained voice-stress
17:23:27 [divya]
danielweck: issue 19: robert approved our proposal.
17:23:51 [divya]
danielweck: i want to make sure he is okay with that.
17:24:07 [divya]
danielweck: i take that as an agreement with our consensus
17:24:14 [divya]
RESOLVED: no objection.
17:24:28 [divya]
danielweck: issue 20: marked as invalid as it is a remark about at-risk properties.
17:24:49 [divya]
danielweck: they would like to keep voice-balance unlike voice-duration. they agree in principle on the role of at-risk marker for this property
17:25:57 [divya]
danielweck: issue 1 is possibly contentious and possibly renaming voice-stress to emphasis.
17:26:07 [divya]
danielweck: we should have this sorted by end of year and move to CR
17:26:37 [danielweck]
Bert: okay, great.
17:26:42 [ChrisL]
good
17:26:44 [divya]
TOPIC: New Publications
17:26:49 [divya]
fantasai: good to resolve the publish
17:27:01 [divya]
howcome: i posted several issues that havent been put in.
17:27:28 [divya]
howcome: noting these issues to be fixed before publications
17:27:46 [divya]
howcome: i have asked for these issues to be added for months and these doesnt happen.
17:27:57 [divya]
glazou: if these issues are noted listed then is it okay for you to publish
17:27:59 [divya]
howcome: yes
17:28:04 [howcome]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Nov/0449.html
17:28:21 [divya]
fantasai: the main issue seems to be several of them seem to be same issue with different wording
17:28:43 [divya]
howcome: the main thing is i am worried about adding a long list of pre-defined list without us having discussed what criteria is used for adding those.
17:28:57 [divya]
howcome: i think we should add short-cut syntax which is being discussed on www-style
17:29:17 [divya]
howcome: i think issues should be written in a non-personal way.
17:29:56 [divya]
howcome: i propose we ask tab to add issue then we resolve to publish in a week
17:30:19 [divya]
ChrisL: it couldnt be published before next week anyway
17:30:30 [divya]
howcome: is there any news on publication of drafts we resolved last week?
17:30:36 [divya]
Bert: its thanksgiving again.
17:31:04 [divya]
glazou: we release them next week
17:31:44 [divya]
RESOLVED: Ask tab to include list of issues provided by Howcome ( http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Nov/0449.html ) to official list of issues and publish next week
17:32:02 [glazou]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Nov/0333.html
17:32:06 [divya]
glazou: requests to move from level3 to level 4, min and max
17:32:32 [divya]
dbaron: i am fine with moving it to level4
17:32:42 [divya]
fantasai: is the problem just mixing % and length?
17:32:48 [divya]
dbaron: mainly yes.
17:32:53 [divya]
fantasai: could we just forbid that?
17:33:02 [divya]
dbaron: it would be confusing and a good bit of work.
17:33:09 [divya]
glazou: it would be a large group of that feature I think.
17:33:21 [florian]
s/group/bit/
17:33:33 [divya]
RESOLVED: move min, max to level 4

TOPIC: Inherit revisited
17:35:46 [divya]
?? I would like to review it but I havent had time yet.
17:36:39 [divya]
RESOLVED: Defer discussion.
17:36:52 [divya]
glazou: CSS3 animations. @keyframes at rule
17:37:05 [ChrisL]
http://www.glazman.org/weblog/dotclear/index.php?post/2011/11/23/Some-thoughts-about-editing-CSS-3-Animations
17:37:09 [divya]
glazou: only speaking of parsing the @keyframes at rule
17:37:12 [Zakim]
-danielweck
17:37:25 [divya]
glazou: currently it is a prefixed so its a huge burden

Zakim, ??P53 is me
17:37:38 [Zakim]

17:37:42 [divya]
?? we are talking with unprefixing but not others.
17:38:11 [dbaron]
s/??/sylvaing:/
17:38:14 [divya]
sylvaing: how do we effectively say this is the issue in CR and not the other things in the stack
17:38:33 [dbaron]
(or maybe that was someone else... sorry?)
17:38:46 [divya]
florian: why do you think that particular bit helps a lot of people and not the rest.
17:38:59 [divya]
glazou: that rule is hard to duplicate.
17:39:05 [dbaron]
s/that/an at/
17:39:25 [divya]
glazou: you need to change the prefixes inside the keyframes too
17:39:42 [divya]
sylvaing: it is such a pain to multiple the @ rules we write js to repeat them. it is painful
17:39:52 [ChrisL]
zakim, who is speaking?
17:40:04 [Zakim]
ChrisL, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: howcome (5%), SteveZ (55%), Bert (5%)
17:40:10 [divya]
florian: i support the move as well but i am not sure how we can change.
17:40:22 [divya]
Stevez: how can you test this is consistently done
17:40:38 [divya]
Stevez: i am confused how to test this instead of the others.
17:40:41 [oyvind]
I don't think that part of the spec is good enough for CR but unprefixing is another matter
17:41:14 [divya]
sylvaing: there are basic issues about the content of the rules, what do you do with the value, it is kind of awkward to just accomodate to that.
17:41:53 [oyvind]
(or maybe it is fine for CR, but it has a lot of unaddressed issues w.r.t. edge cases and error handling)
17:42:01 [Zakim]
-antonp
17:42:07 [divya]
florian: for the record I am for removing prefixes, but not comfortable removing prefixes on that while simultaneously keeping on the rest.
17:42:43 [divya]
glazou: lack in the OM for keyframes. the OM for keyframes would allow defined rule for a key. not allow to retrieve key for keyframes.
17:42:51 [divya]
glazou: new readonly attribute to retrieve list of keys
17:42:58 [divya]
glazou: probably authors rely on JS
17:43:14 [divya]
glazou: the key would be a string.
17:43:26 [antonp]
(apologies; I'm having connection troubles)
17:43:33 [divya]
florian: i had asked for an extra item. can we talk a bit about that?
17:43:54 [divya]
florian: the content property in css 2.1 allows you to add images, which are added as a child of the elements
17:44:05 [divya]
florian: css3 content spec is confusingly worded.
17:44:32 [divya]
florian: if you use same syntax as css 2.1 as the behaviour would be same.
17:44:40 [divya]
florian: if you use url() you would get replaced content.
17:44:50 [divya]
florian: i am confused by 1st sentence of section 8 replaced content.
17:45:09 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
17:45:19 [divya]
florian: it seem incompatible with what css2.1 and css3 says.
17:45:30 [divya]
dbaron: i think it is a contradition, and i proposed a rewording on the list.
17:46:03 [divya]
florian: i thought the discussion had died, so i brought it to the telecon.
17:46:09 [divya]
florian: but it came back to life.
17:46:29 [divya]
dbaron: i would be okay concluding something
17:47:51 [divya]
florian: I dont think anyone implements the switch at the moment, so we wont be breaking anything.
17:48:18 [divya]
dbaron: i think the open question is whether we are going to do fallback mechanism within value syntax, we wont want a fallback mechanism inside the property syntax
17:48:32 [divya]
fantasai: we are doing fallback in value syntax only for a certain type of content.
17:49:13 [divya]
fantasai: e.g. if you are a visual browser, here is a picture, if you are a text-only browser, here is some text.
17:49:34 [divya]
florian: i dont think you cant do what you just said the way it is currently specced
17:49:42 [divya]
florian: sorry, what you said is probably correct.
17:49:50 [fantasai]
s/certain/given/
17:50:11 [divya]
florian: i dont think we should go into full discussion on what values should be accepted by content property.
17:50:41 [divya]
florian: we should discuss this on the list then.
17:50:54 [divya]
glazou: anything else?
17:51:06 [divya]

TabAtkins, hi! I was wondering whether you might have an estimate of when the next rev of the flexbox ED might be out
22:21:09 [TabAtkins]
Next week!
22:21:22 [dholbert]
ah, great!
22:21:31 [TabAtkins]
Been working on Images and Lists lately, but need to get back and put in a bunch of Flexbox edits.
22:21:32 [dholbert]
