Action IJ: Put up meeting page for ftf.

3) Ian summary of where we are in the PR process.

4) Review of list of changes:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/wai-ua-wd-changes.html

EH: Comments on word "automatic" in 2.3. Is this necessary?

JG: My main concern is that people understand that the UA pauses itself.

EH: Ok.

HB: What about breaking sync?

CMN: There are cases when you can't do anything about it, e.g., real world events.

HB: What about auction events?

CMN: You can't slow down the real world. The requirement doesn't apply.

GR: Auction houses notify through color changes &ltfrown> critical events.

Checkpoint 2.6

a) Added collated text transcript
b) Moved note to checkpoint, added "author-supplied" synch cues.

MK: Sounds ok to me.

MQ: What about adding the word "indexing"?

HB: Indexing in the sense of marking time?

MQ: Marking time.

Checkpoint 4.7:

MK, EH: Ok.

4.16: Allow the user to configure viewports, prompts, and windows opened on user agent initiation.

IJ: We could harmonize wording with that of 9.2. Use "not explicitly done by the user."

DP, CMN: Yes,

GR: I think that the focus is to allow the user to configure whether or not the UA. "Allow the user to configure whether the user agent will automatically open a viewport, prompt, or window.

EH: That's a new requirement.

CMN: There are other configuration issues.

GR: It's one thing to control the size/position of something once created and another to talk about suppressing the creation.

IJ: As I recall, we agreed in Austin to put all of it in 4.16.

CMN: I agree with Gregory - there are two separate requirements.

GR: I propose to split the checkpoint:
a) Allow the user to configure the visual rendering.
b) Allow the user to configure alert mechanisms used on opening.
c) Respect user settings when opening windows.

IJ: Sounds like three:
a) Suppress spawning AND/OR prevent focus shifting.
b) Configure alert of spawning.
c) Style the user interface.

IJ: I don't think "respect user settings" get us much.

Action IJ: Add to definition of Configure that users should be able to save settings.

JG: How does all this relate to focus changes (4.15)?

IJ: Why are spawned windows an issue if there's no focus change and you're notified?

GR: Yes, 4.15 and 4.16 are related.

RESOLVED:
1) MOve note after 4.16 to 4.16 techniques with some clarification.
2) Link from 4.16 techniques to 4.15 techs.
3) Reword 4.16.

Action Ian: Send proposal to list to clarify.

Checkpoint 5.1

Action IJ: Add a reference to the XHTML Recommendation.

Action IJ: For 5.1, add a technique to take into DOMs defined by other specifications (e.g., SVG). ------

Checkpoint 5.8:

HR: Ok

RS: Ok.

Checkpoint 6.2:

Bug: Ian forgot to add "available"

Action IJ:
- FIx bug
- Explain what a W3C Rec is in the techniques document.

Checkpoint 8.4:

Group: Ok.

Checkpoint 9.4:

Action IJ: change "portion" to "proportion"

Checkpoint 10.7:

Action Ian: Add "in" a profile.

Other comments

CMN: Is minority objection propagated?

IJ: Yes.

GR: In the definition of documentation, it doesn't talk about updates.

IJ: That's in 1.2.

GR: Things that are supplemental, but provided by the vendor.

Action IJ: Add something about with the product or available elsewhere.

GO TO PR?

IJ: Any objections to going to PR?

Group: None.
