agenda?
16:21:59 [aphillip]
zakim, take up agendum 2
16:21:59 [Zakim]
agendum 2. "caseless matching in css3 fonts" taken up [from aphillip]
16:22:12 [aphillip]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2013JanMar/0347.html
16:24:23 [aharon]
aphillip: c+s may not match
16:25:34 [aphillip]
example: a font with a german name such as heiß wouldn't match HEISS because C+S case fold is only "heis"
16:26:12 [aharon]
aphillip: the concern is that you want your case-folded names to match the other token, and both have to be case-folded the same way...
16:26:47 [aharon]
you have to know that you have to allocate a little more storage for the case-folded version...
16:26:49 [fantasai]
fantasai: Is the concern that the casefld will be incorrectly implemented, or that it won't match when correctly implemented?
16:27:08 [aharon]
a little spurios, since other factors can change the length anyway
16:28:17 [aharon]
JcK; worrying about this particular case "borders on the irrational"
16:28:28 [fantasai]
norbert: should require normalization if doing casefold
16:29:01 [fantasai]
?: Trying to do casefold without normalization is all sorts of trouble.
16:29:14 [fantasai]
?: Maybe right rule is to normalize and casefold for comparison, even if the string is not normalized itself
16:29:14 [Norbert]
s/norbert/Norbert quoting Jonathan/
16:29:18 [aharon]
JcK: maybe the right rule is to normalize around case folds
16:29:21 [aphillip]
s/?/JcK/
16:29:23 [fantasai]
?: A little more complicated, but certainly more reliable
16:29:50 [fantasai]
aphillip: Would be remarkable use of normalization simply because not used anywhere else
16:30:35 [fantasai]
JcK: Should either not casefold at all or normalize and casefold
16:31:02 [fantasai]
aphillip: Don't think we want to change recommendation of which casefold to use
16:31:06 [fantasai]
aphillip: Second quesiton is whether to normalize
16:31:41 [aharon]
zakim, mute me
16:31:41 [Zakim]
aharon should now be muted
16:31:42 [fantasai]
aphillip: efficiency more problematic for normalization than casefolding
16:32:04 [fantasai]
aphillip: We've brought it up with Selectors, other things, een told enough times we're not going to get normalization
16:32:51 [aharon]
fantasai: in all other cases, you had to have normalization span the entire platform
16:33:21 [aharon]
fantasai: not sure that this can even been done
16:34:02 [aharon]
fantasai: in this particular case, it's not about interaction of css with some other technology...
16:34:32 [aharon]
you could require normaliza and case fold, and it would have no effect on the rest of platform
16:36:14 [aharon]
aharon: I am doing a terrible job as scribe, can someone else take over?
16:37:23 [fantasai]
s/some other/some other Web/
16:37:47 [aharon]
zakim, unmute me
16:37:47 [Zakim]
aharon should no longer be muted
16:37:49 [fantasai]
s/.../ but about interaction of CSS with font files via intermediary agent of OS font APIs/
16:38:19 [fsasaki]
scribe: fsasaki
16:38:37 [fsasaki]
addison: conclusions?
16:38:50 [fsasaki]
.. need to understand the rules for common font format
16:38:56 [fsasaki]
... there seem to be limitations
16:39:10 [fsasaki]
fantasai: normalization and case folding makes most sense to me
16:39:14 [fsasaki]
.. in this particular case
16:39:36 [fsasaki]
addison: nothing against including normalization
16:39:51 [fsasaki]
.. objections against case folding should go away too
16:40:15 [fsasaki]
jck: thinking of the argument for normalization we had for IDN
16:40:25 [fsasaki]
.. I don't see an efficiency problem
16:40:41 [fsasaki]
addison: so probably both normalization and case folding are the right thing to do
16:40:59 [fsasaki]
.. there should be a special note saying here is the limited case where we are having normalization
16:41:21 [fantasai]
s/.. I/... These strings are very short, I/
16:41:50 [JcK]
In particular, these are comparisons for very short strings, not operations on very large blocks of text. For such short strings, The efficiency loss is trivial and the comparisons will work much more predictably
16:41:52 [RRSAgent]

16:43:05 [fsasaki]
addison: this is about space skip, text decoration for underlining
16:43:18 [fsasaki]
.. above link is summary of what I got back from them
16:43:58 [fsasaki]
.. one of discussion topics: some langauges don't use spaces
16:44:11 [fsasaki]
.. so if you want to (scribe missed)
16:44:23 [fsasaki]
fantasai: reading comment esp. from markus
16:44:46 [fsasaki]
.. propose to do something simple
16:44:54 [fsasaki]
.. do something for languages that have spaces
16:45:10 [fsasaki]
.. if the language has no spaces, you don't want to create a gap
16:45:38 [fsasaki]
.. one thing I didn't understand: how do I specifiy other than linking to CLDR query page?
16:45:49 [fsasaki]
addison: defined elsewhere, like the regex one
16:46:13 [fsasaki]
fantasai: does the regex include entire xyz category?
16:46:31 [fantasai]

action: addison: seek clarification on [:Whitespace:]
16:46:47 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-199 - Seek clarification on [:Whitespace:] [on Addison Phillips - due 2013-03-28].
16:47:12 [aphillip]
agenda?
16:47:45 [fsasaki]
fantasai: proposal is to skip all characters in unicode category z
16:47:52 [fsasaki]
addison: minus the vertical white space
16:48:09 [fsasaki]
fantasai: the word separater characters are
16:48:10 [fantasai]
space (U+0020), the no-break space (U+00A0), the Ethiopic word space (U+1361), the Aegean word separators (U+10100,U+10101), the Ugaritic word divider (U+1039F), and the Phoenician Word Separator (U+1091F)
16:48:17 [fsasaki]
s/are/are:/
16:48:18 [fantasai]
plus whatever is regex White_Space
16:48:29 [fsasaki]
fantasai: that is the current proposal
16:48:32 [Zakim]
-matial
16:48:36 [fsasaki]
.. we can skip e.g. over blank
16:48:46 [fsasaki]
.. do we also skip over xxx?
16:49:00 [fantasai]
s/xxx/visible spaces like U+1361/
16:49:02 [fsasaki]
richard: skipping over blank might be an issue too
16:49:17 [fsasaki]
addison: there are joining items you might not want to skip either
16:49:21 [fsasaki]
norbert: e.g. within numbers
16:49:35 [aphillip]
foo<a0>:
