... have a new tool for parsing and displaying the data
... checks for valid syntax in the data file
... and you can edit a line and generate a new version of UnicodeData.txt
... useful if you want to propose a character

polyglot issue

11. Example Document http://www.w3.org/TR/html-polyglot/#example-document The i18n WG would prefer the example code in section 11 to have a visible encoding declaration (ie. <meta charset="utf-8"/>. This would illustrate the points made in section 3.

addison: support this

felix: support

<matial> no pb

.prep issues in general

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2012Jul/0007.html

richard: do we need to start clearing .prep issues out?
... favor sending/forwarding comments that no one asks to close or discuss

<scribe> ACTION: addison: send email(s) to the winter list asking for any .prep issues that need closing or discussion [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/07/25-i18n-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-141 - Send email(s) to the winter list asking for any .prep issues that need closing or discussion [on Addison Phillips - due 2012-08-01].

norbert: how many?

richard: 19 or so

norbert: not so bad

richard: started trying to work through bugzilla issues
... hixie is moving away from HTML5 towards HTML-next
... so assigning off remaining reports
... so do we continue threads on bug reports?

<fsasaki> http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/next

IRI, HTML5, ITS, and other comments

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17989

<r12a> sounded fine to me

felix: look at these pages: give background on editors and such

<fsasaki> http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/html5-stabilization-plan.html , http://www.w3.org/QA/2012/04/progress_on_html5.html

http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7195&to=7196

however; time + zones are used as political footballs and are thus subject to very + whimsical policy decisions.</p>

<scribe> chair: objections to closing as satisfied?

okay to close

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17857

<r12a> close Issue-165

<trackbot> ISSUE-165 Add character encoding declaration to section 11 closed

Because I wrote the example and know to what event the example refers, and the example happened on the east coast. And the spec says so. There's no way to know this just from the date, but as mentioned in the #1 above, that's just a limitation of the ISO format.

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.

addison: insert "which might be"

<r12a> One millisecond after noon on October 14th 1979, in the time zone in use, which might be on the east coast of the USA during daylight saving time.

<r12a> One millisecond after noon on October 14th 1979, in the time zone in use, which might, for example, be on the east coast of the USA during daylight saving time.

well, more like: One millisecond after noon on October 14th 1979, *which might be* 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 time values in use cases that depend on it (see our note "Working with Time Zones")

just adding "which might be" is not sufficient

richard: need to suggest

Note: the zone offset is not a complete time zone specification. When working with real date and time values, consider using a separate field for time zone, perhaps using IANA time zone IDs.

and @ref WWTZ note

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#global-dates-and-times

section 2.5.5.6: probably needs a note

norbert: file a separate ticket to say that IANA time zones need accomodation

<scribe> ACTION: addion: file a ticket on HTML5 asking for accommodation of IANA time zone IDs [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2012/07/25-i18n-minutes.html#action02]
