- 15:14:01 [nigel]
- ... There was a question about backward compatibility. My analysis showed that the previous versions were not up to date. If anyone used them then those implementations need to change anyway.
- 15:14:30 [nigel]
- ... They were not compatible with what was published in the Rec. I'm happy with the new docs, which have been published.

- pal: The solution only affects horizontal glyphs with vertical layout. Are there any other circumstances in which characters may need to be rotated?
- 15:17:39 [nigel]
- glenn: from the standpoint of normal writing, no, but for arbitrary graphics it might be wanted of coure, for artistic reasons.

- 15:18:06 [nigel]

- 15:20:17 [nigel]
- issue-259?
- 15:20:17 [trackbot]
- issue-259 -- Define "closest" -- pending review
- 15:20:17 [trackbot]
- http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/259
- 15:21:33 [nigel]
- pal: See comments on issue. Wording would be better to define in terms of distance from zero.
- 15:22:39 [nigel]
- glenn: origin doesn't involve enclosure so rounding towards zero seemed more appropriate than for other attributes where making further from zero allows for more conservative spacing.
- 15:22:55 [nigel]
- ... We don't want to make a discrepancy between TTML2 and TTML1 by changing the way this could work.
- 15:24:31 [nigel]
- pal: Reference to euclidean distance may mean that this never gets implemented correctly.
- 15:25:12 [nigel]
- ... CFF-TT has specific wording for rounding from percentages to pixels using 'round half up' terminology. So there's prior implementation that does it differently, independently of TTML1.
- 15:26:19 [nigel]
- nigel: is this about the wording or the mathematics?
- 15:26:27 [nigel]
- pal: no problem with the wording - it's about the mathematics.
- 15:26:56 [nigel]
- glenn: there are 2 options in the issue, a and b. Is there any difference in b between the proposal and the existing solution?
- 15:27:03 [nigel]
- pal: I think so. Take tts:fontSize for example.
- 15:27:31 [nigel]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/ttml1/#style-attribute-fontSize
- 15:28:39 [nigel]
- pal: Euclidean distance requires square root of the sum of the squares. If two have the same computational result then choose the one furthest from zero.
- 15:28:58 [nigel]
- ... My suggestion is to round each dimension separately.
- 15:29:12 [nigel]
- glenn: this is a corner case. Prefer to think about, say, padding.
- 15:29:32 [nigel]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/ttml1/#style-attribute-padding
- 15:30:11 [nigel]
- glenn: the difference between the two things? For padding they are the same, however distance is not otherwise defined. So I used Euclidean distance specifically.
- 15:30:41 [nigel]
- pal: Imagine there's a computed value for padding that consists of 4 lengths - how would you compute the Euclidean distance between this value and the next closest - what would be the computation?
- 15:30:54 [nigel]
- glenn: it would be on a component by component basis.
- 15:31:00 [nigel]
- pal: I agree, so there's no difference.
- 15:31:19 [nigel]
- glenn: the key is that this is already implied by the use of the term "computed" which is already resolved to the component level.
- 15:31:32 [nigel]
- pal: Can we be clear about where "computed" means this?
- 15:32:00 [nigel]
- glenn: The definition of CSS that we refer to defines this. We presume that you include the CSS etc definitions.
- 15:32:30 [nigel]
- pal: I think we need to be clear about how many components are included in this Euclidean computation.
- 15:33:24 [nigel]
- nigel: which values have multiple dimensions that are managed together?
- 15:33:31 [nigel]
- ... is it only color?
- 15:33:50 [nigel]
- pal: Euclidean distance can be applied to vector values as well as scalar values.
- 15:34:18 [nigel]
- glenn: In the case of padding it is not a vector. For fontSize it would be considered a vector.
- 15:35:56 [nigel]
- nigel: Aren't they two scalars?
- 15:37:59 [Zakim]
- - +41.22.749.aaaa
- 15:38:07 [nigel]
- glenn: In the case of scaling of bitmap fonts I definitely meant to do a vector comparison.
- 15:38:25 [nigel]
- nigel: That could be inferred from the notation used but do we need to add wording to make it explicit?
- 15:39:30 [nigel]
- glenn: As we've tried to become more precise it's become more complicated. Do we change TTML2 to be different from TTML1, or add an errata to TTML1? These are all informative notes at the moment.
- 15:39:40 [nigel]
- ... We need to consider testing too.
- 15:40:14 [nigel]
- pal: At least one reader did not have the same interpretation as the editor.
- 15:41:15 [nigel]
- glenn: 2 issues - one is using Euclidean distance; the other is about origin in which you're suggesting changing the direction of rounding.
- 15:41:19 [nigel]
- pal: yes.
- 15:42:21 [nigel]
- glenn: It may be worth separating these into different issues. I'm more concerned about one than the other.
- 15:43:01 [nigel]
- action pal to create a new issue to split these out for tracking.
- 15:43:02 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-257 - Create a new issue to split these out for tracking. [on Pierre-Anthony Lemieux - due 2014-01-23].
- 15:44:00 [nigel]
- glenn: if we put aside the issue of how distance is defined linguistically then on this issue of origin, what are our thoughts?
- 15:44:16 [nigel]
- pal: I suggest deferring this issue until later and putting higher priority on bigger issues.
- 15:45:58 [nigel]
- ... I can dig deeper into this and try to get some hard data regarding the implementations prior to TTML1SE.
- 15:46:52 [nigel]
- nigel: Okay we can take this offline, but in the absence of further agreement we'll make no edits in TTML2
- 15:47:14 [nigel]
- glenn: I'm happy to define what is meant by Euclidean distance a bit, i.e. in terms of component-wise or vector-wise comparison.
- 15:48:33 [nigel]
- ... In terms of rounding of origin I think it's early enough to make a change now without impacting implementations now. We can add an errata and a note.
- 15:48:57 [nigel]
- ... So we can solve both issues in a way that's not too complex to implement.
- 15:49:24 [pal]

- 15:55:30 [nigel]
- nigel: Glenn are you happy with the updated wording?
- 15:56:07 [nigel]
- pal: Annex B has been removed entirely and Annex A has been refactored to take into account CLDR. The wording has been changed to emphasise that this is a set of characters from which
- 15:56:17 [nigel]
- authors are encouraged to choose depending on the language of the element.
- 15:56:26 [nigel]
- s/authors/... authors
- 15:56:56 [nigel]
- glenn: I still have some issues with table 2 because of its non-inclusive nature. It is a somewhat Euro-centric subset of languages.
- 15:57:15 [nigel]

- 16:04:34 [nigel]
- glenn: My preference is to remove table 2 but otherwise to put a paragraph in showing that it's a subset of example character sets that are believed to apply to the specified set of languages.
- 16:05:02 [nigel]
- ... To be exhaustive there would need to be citations for every language but right now there are no references to normative works.
- 16:05:16 [nigel]
- ... That paragraph should also say that others may be added in the future.
- 16:05:22 [nigel]

- 16:24:31 [nigel]
- glenn: the action as stated has been done.
- 16:25:44 [nigel]
- nigel: there's still a question of whether it's possible to state a value as an alternative to the normal keyword's default 125% behaviour.
- 16:25:56 [nigel]
- ... The lineHeight algorithm is now more explicit.
- 16:26:15 [nigel]
- glenn: I haven't described that algorithm previously on this call.
- 16:26:46 [nigel]
- ... [takes a couple of minutes to describe the algorithm to turn "normal" into a single computed parameter]
- 16:27:56 [nigel]
- ... I reviewed blink, webkit and mozilla as to how they resolve "normal". They take the paragraph's nominal font, then look at Ascent, Descent and line Gap, then take the font size that applies and scale
- 16:28:28 [nigel]
- ... the metrics accordingly. They add the three values together to give a computed lineHeight property when the original specified value is "normal". If those metrics are not available
- 16:28:40 [nigel]
- ... then they use 125% of the fontSize that applied to that paragraph.
- 16:29:06 [nigel]
- ... So at this level descendent spans with different font sizes would not apply.
- 16:29:31 [nigel]
- ... and the 125% is only used if A, D and G are not available.
- 16:30:12 [nigel]
- ... There's a separate process for inline elements than for block elements.
- 16:30:34 [nigel]
- ... The lineHeight becomes a minimum value for the line box that will be used if there's nothing else in the line box that has a greater height.
- 16:31:12 [nigel]
- ... However if there's an inline box that's a child of the linebox that has larger non-replaced text then the A and D will be used to increase the overall inline box's height.
- 16:31:30 [nigel]
- ... And there's separate processing for padding and margin.
- 16:31:43 [nigel]
- ... Note that when we introduce images we'll have replaced content that comes into effect in this algorithm.
- 16:32:47 [nigel]
- jdsmith: are the new steps consistent with those browsers?
- 16:33:07 [nigel]
- glenn: yes, this is based on my analysis of those three. I didn't analyse IE because I didn't have access to the source code.
- 16:33:18 [nigel]
- ... Does MS use this algorithm?
- 16:33:28 [nigel]
- jdsmith: Was there a different algorithm before?
- 16:33:59 [nigel]
- glenn: We referred to CSS but that is ambiguous and defers to implementations without documenting properly.
- 16:34:15 [nigel]
- ... Mozilla confirmed that this is what we meant but didn't write down in CSS.
- 16:35:11 [nigel]
- nigel: do we need to formally communicate this to CSSWG?
- 16:35:31 [nigel]
- glenn: yes we do. In the past we've had comments at Last Calls but should call this out specifically.
- 16:36:04 [nigel]
- ... The formal time to do it is during LC. I can raise it there when we have consensus here on this language.

- glenn: I queried this, got the answer to use flexbox and discovered that this is possible. I tested it on Chrome, Firefox and Opera and Safari - it only worked on more recent versions on Safari.
- 16:41:25 [nigel]
- ... I assume IE will work too because it supports flexbox too.

- 16:44:45 [nigel]
- glenn: There's still an open question as to how we specify this in TTML2 - do we expose flexbox features directly or add some specific line alignment syntax
- 16:46:46 [nigel]
- ... A new property is a shorthand for the use of the flexbox solution.

- jdsmith: actually this is pending review
- 16:50:07 [nigel]
- ... The view was that we should be aligning TTML with CSS. There's a short term convenience for tools if we don't put the CSS escape mechanism into the XML but it's cleaner to be aligned and to
- 16:50:17 [nigel]
- ... use the CSS escapes.
- 16:50:45 [nigel]
- ... On another call we said to use XML escapes?
- 16:51:27 [nigel]
- glenn: whatever tool we use the XML escapes to apply, because we use XML. We don't use the stylesheets as syntactically defined by CSS, just the value syntax.
- 16:52:10 [nigel]
- ... So the original use of these escapes came about because when you express a CSS stylesheet as a separate resource then you can use a backslash U notation.
- 16:52:20 [nigel]
- ... Since we don't reference external stylesheets that was not an issue.
- 16:52:57 [nigel]
- ... In TTML2 we're using something closer to XSL-FO and SVG for attribute value syntax in XML. If we introduce the escape mechanism in tokens based on CSS's escaping mechanism then we will end up
- 16:53:19 [nigel]
- ... with 2 mechanisms: the XML one and the CSS one. There's redundancy there.
- 16:53:41 [nigel]
- jdsmith: Yes, I prefer both.
- 16:54:04 [nigel]
- glenn: This optimisation is in TTML1 as a constraint. In a future version of TTML1 we could widen that out to re-include the Unicode escapes.
- 16:54:32 [nigel]
- ... We can certainly include in TTML2 because strict backward compatibility isn't required for this.
- 16:55:20 [nigel]
- jdsmith: I will probably follow this up with a proposal for a change.
- 16:56:03 [nigel]
- gerry: Spec-ready text is preferred. The Change Proposal should address interoperability with TTML1 re this issue as well, and discuss the co-concurrent features of XML numeric character references
- 16:56:10 [nigel]
- s/gerry/glenn
- 16:56:42 [nigel]
- ... Should maybe define this in terms of where in the process this happens.
