15:07:06 [Bert]
xfq: On Tuesday, Process 2021 was approved.
15:07:20 [Bert]
... There is a new registries track.
15:07:55 [Bert]
... But not required. Can also still make WDs and RECs.
15:08:34 [Bert]
... NOTEs track now separate from REC track. So NOTE drafts are not called WD anymore, but Note Draft.
15:08:58 [Bert]
... And a NOTE can be endorsed and become a Statement.
15:09:14 [r12a]
present+
15:09:41 [Bert]
r12a: Sounds like what we tried to avoid by publishing NOTEs instead of RECs...
15:10:16 [Bert]
addison: Also interesting in the process: horizontal review for updating RECs is sketchily described.
15:10:45 [Bert]
... I hope we don't get any ‘I want to update my REC next week’ requests.
15:11:22 [Bert]
r12a: We need to talk more with Philippe and stress reviews at the start.
15:12:21 [Bert]
... URL vs URI, what is the reference for URIs?
15:12:32 [xfq]
s/Note Draft/Draft Note/
15:12:55 [Bert]
addison: The WHATWG spec on URL has a kind of profile for URI.
15:13:47 [Bert]
JcK: RFC 3986/3987 is maybe half, a little too focused on http.

addison: Trackbot is being deprecated. GitHub is recommended. How do we do action items now?
15:20:05 [Bert]
trackbot, help?
15:20:05 [trackbot]
Please see <http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/irc> for help.

15:21:46 [Bert]
David_clarke: 16 years. Long-running software is good.
15:22:10 [Bert]
xfq: If we still use it, they will still support it.

15:22:43 [Bert]
r12a: That warning on the IRC page seems to have been there since 4 month. So we not be in imminent dager.

https://www.w3.org/TR/PFE-evaluation/
15:24:32 [Bert]
atsushi: spec based on a report.
15:24:53 [Bert]
... They tried to transfer per glyph, not code point.
15:25:19 [Bert]
... This spec tries to transfer code points.
15:25:31 [Bert]
... But seems not to be working.
15:25:56 [Bert]
... Some fonts have dedicated glyphs.
15:26:46 [Bert]
addison: Maybe if they also transfer all code points related to a given code point...
15:27:23 [Bert]
atsushi: Maybe we should ask them.
15:28:25 [Bert]
r12a: Chris and Myles [spec editors] should be aware of the issue.
15:29:01 [Bert]
addison: In indic scripts, e.g., you may need all the vowel-marked and conjuncts.
15:29:28 [r12a]
https://www.w3.org/TR/PFE-evaluation/
15:30:13 [Bert]
... I don't quite see how this can be used. Maybe for simple fonts, when code point = glyph.
15:31:06 [Bert]
r12a: The report shows some arabic glyphs. I cannot remember what my conclusions were when I read it :-(
15:31:42 [Bert]
addison: The report contains the sort of things we talked about, so they do know.
15:32:15 [Bert]
r12a: Then conclusion (section 6) has something.
15:32:31 [Bert]
s/Then/The/
15:33:35 [Bert]
addison: What does the last para, about massive cost increase, mean?
15:33:50 [Bert]
david_clarke: Network latency?
15:34:58 [Bert]
atsushi: compared to rendering time [scribe missed]
15:35:12 [Bert]
addison: Do we have a question to ask them?
15:36:13 [Bert]
r12a: Seems good to have a section about its usage. Although it does already point to the report.
15:37:14 [Bert]
... Maybe a summary of the report can be added to set the scope of the spec. It seems it is not to be used for scripts that need shaping, e.g.
15:37:56 [Bert]
xfq: It says there will be a separate document for other methods than Patch.
15:38:32 [Bert]
david_clarke: There may be an issue with fingerprinting: if you download specific pieces of a font.
15:39:10 [Bert]
r12a: Yes, that makes sense, for some kinds of small content.
15:40:00 [xfq]
Privacy section is entirely missing -> https://github.com/w3c/IFT/issues/31
15:40:58 [Bert]
atsushi: Web fonts and caching, may be hard to fingerprint.
15:41:33 [Bert]
addison: But I can place a rare glyph in a page and if you request it, I know you looked at the page.
15:41:53 [Bert]
... atsush, do you want to draft comments? Do you need help?
15:42:22 [xfq]
s/atsush/atsushi/
15:42:37 [Bert]
atsushi: I would first ask why they choose to base it on code points rather than glyphs. I can draft a comment on GitHub.
15:43:16 [Bert]
... I will add it to our tracker.
15:43:39 [Bert]
addison: Don't wait to send it to them.
15:44:00 [Bert]
... Should we raise a fingerprinting issue?
15:44:29 [addison]

agendum 7 -- Closing the loop on Payment Request -- taken up [from addison]
15:44:34 [r12a]
https://github.com/w3c/payment-request/pull/971/files
15:44:40 [Bert]
r12a: We could, but maybe not as a WG, as it is a security question [not i18n] question.
15:45:42 [Bert]
r12a: pull request adds a note that seems to say all we asked for.
15:46:13 [Bert]
addison: Might avoid the word ‘may’, as it is a technical term.
15:47:20 [Bert]
r12a: I'd prefer not to avoid ‘may’ and rather style it specially when used normatively.
15:47:41 [Bert]
xfq: As a note, it is non-normative in essence.
15:48:32 [Bert]
addison: Shall I do a review and comment and approve?
15:48:41 [Bert]
r12a: Yes, I think so.
15:49:21 [Bert]
addison: Language negotiation is a separate thing.
15:49:37 [Bert]
r12a: And we don't expect to resolve that before they publish this.
15:49:39 [addison]
agenda?
15:49:53 [Bert]
