Hm, Shane isn't on IRC either
16:09:22 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I reduced the API calls from 6 to 3 and all return the same response type.
16:09:49 [Bert]
... Now has a new property in the Bag to distinguish webWide from site-specific.
16:09:50 [fielding]
Mike is talking about the pull request at https://github.com/w3c/dnt/pull/45
16:10:23 [fielding]
Right, ednotes are not published by CR
16:10:51 [at]

16:10:54 [Bert]
... Roy put in a note about not understanding a sentence.
16:11:20 [wileys]
wileys has joined #dnt
16:11:22 [Bert]
fielding: Maybe just remove that sentence. It doesn't seem to matter.
16:12:18 [Bert]
shane: Like David, I'd need more time to review the changes.
16:12:33 [Bert]
fielding: It's not in the document yet, it's mike's propoasl.
16:13:14 [Bert]
bert: is an API chnage possible at all at this point?
16:14:37 [wileys]
In the promise structure it appears the UGEs have been collapsed with a boolean for web-wide or not, correct?
16:15:03 [Bert]
bert: roy, your opinion on mike's API?
16:15:32 [Bert]
fielding: my goal is to get implementation commitments.
16:16:37 [fielding]
I haven't had a chance to go through it in detail, but my preference remains to get an indication by browsers first and then go to CR. But I will defer to the WG.
16:18:13 [Bert]
bert: what does the ed. note in 7.3 mean?
16:18:23 [Bert]
fielding: Not really explained in the spec.
16:18:41 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Thereis something in the wiki. Could maybe opy that.
16:18:56 [Bert]
fielding: Anything, from wiki or mail.
16:19:30 [Bert]
... need more detail than the current one sentence at the start.
16:19:49 [fielding]
earlier, Mike pointed out the comment on https://w3c.github.io/dnt/drafts/tracking-dnt.html#exception-checking
16:20:01 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I can find text.
16:20:17 [fielding]
... about none of us knowing what the last sentence means in that section.
16:23:04 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Section 7.6, doNotTrack property is not redundant. Just keep it.
16:23:22 [Bert]
fielding: I remember now why the remark is there.
16:23:49 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I have implemented it, it is not hard.
16:24:10 [Bert]
fielding: property is generated dynamically for each navigator window.
16:24:26 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Every context has its own property.
16:24:58 [Bert]
... E.g., an iframe. Have to be able to find the value without bouncing a request to a server.
16:25:23 [Bert]
fielding: I think the need is reasonable, but the spec doesn't reflect that.
16:25:35 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I coul dmake some text.
16:25:55 [Bert]
fielding: If you can describe it.
16:26:18 [Bert]
ACTION mikeoneill: describe doNotTrack property purpose and implementation
16:26:19 [trackbot]
Error finding 'mikeoneill'. You can review and register nicknames at <http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/users>.
16:27:24 [Bert]
mikeoneill: "Expires" property: roy says it should be removed, but it is still in HTTP.
16:27:49 [Bert]
fielding: Yes, for legacy reasons. But if we have maxAge, expires is not needed.
16:28:11 [Bert]
mikeoneill: It is not much cost to implement.
16:28:23 [Bert]
fielding: Date parsing is actually expensive.
16:28:33 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Yes, but that code is there already.
16:29:40 [Bert]
fielding: No implems yet, we can decide. But we need more than 2 people with an opinion.
16:29:57 [Bert]
mikeoneill: There are implems.
16:31:36 [Bert]
shane: Expires is clearly understood, but maxAge serves the same pupose.
16:32:02 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Easier to remove expires than to chnage to Promises.
16:33:30 [Bert]
RESOLVED: remove "expires"
16:33:36 [fielding]
action on me to remove Expires property on API
16:33:36 [trackbot]
Error finding 'on'. You can review and register nicknames at <http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/users>.
16:34:07 [fielding]
action fielding to remove Expires from API in favor of just using maxAge
16:34:07 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-474 - Remove expires from api in favor of just using maxage [on Roy Fielding - due 2017-07-24].
16:37:57 [Bert]
bert: Do we need to mention DNT-extension as at risk (issue 48)?
16:38:14 [fielding]
action fielding to rephrase "at risk" on DNT-extensions
16:38:14 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-475 - Rephrase "at risk" on dnt-extensions [on Roy Fielding - due 2017-07-24].
16:38:25 [Bert]
fielding: We can republish the CR instead. But there seems no reason to mark it at risk at present.
16:38:37 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Back to API:
16:39:15 [Bert]
... Re the duplets, I made a variable domain.
16:39:37 [Bert]
fielding: Will have a look, haven't had time to read it.
16:40:05 [Bert]
mikeoneill: [Something about resolving a Promise]
16:40:33 [Bert]
fielding: Probably editorial. Web Platforms specs typically specify algo for promises.
16:40:52 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I can make a pull request for next week.
16:41:57 [Bert]
bert: how much time do we need for review & editing?
16:42:08 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Most seems to be editorial.
16:42:19 [rvaneijk]
Q: what is the consequence of a revision to the API for the process?
16:42:40 [rvaneijk]
q+
16:43:21 [Bert]
shane: browser want to know that servers will implement before they spend resources. Move to Promises is big.
16:43:42 [Bert]
... I don't have enough feedback.
16:44:27 [Bert]
mikeoneill: Promises are in the spec.
16:44:34 [Bert]
fielding: yes, that was already decided,
16:44:47 [Bert]
shane: OK, so I'll need to talk to my team.
16:45:27 [Bert]
bert: How many weeks do we want for review?
16:45:58 [Bert]
shane: We first need the editorial chnages in the spec. And then about 2 weeks after that.
16:46:15 [Bert]
... And if no comments in those two weeks, that implies acceptance.
16:46:28 [rvaneijk]
q-
16:46:44 [Bert]
fielding: I can do work this week only.
16:47:39 [Bert]
mikeoneill: I can do my text next Monday.
16:49:41 [rvaneijk]
sorry, soundcard problem
16:50:33 [rvaneijk]
would it require new implementations?
16:51:25 [fielding]
I think further changes would be bound by existing implementations. Right now we are not bound because the Promises changes.
