    WD-virtual-keyboard-20210824/

      [18] https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/WD-virtual-keyboard-20210824/

    richard: I'm also looking into new FPWD document on virtual
    keyboard
    … the only thing I'm not sure they need to say is depending on
    direction of text, not sure whether it is need

    addison: CSS environment variables, they may calculate

    richard: there may be something, not sure for sideways
    adjustments

    addison: boxes could move whether rtl or ltr

    addison: if you move onscreen keyboard, something is required
    … will try to have a chance to look on this

   TPAC group update/tech demo

    addison: email forwared is plenary stuff, on group updates or
    technical demo
    … few i18n demo in my pocket, but could be boring
    … if we jump out that, we need to decide on i18n group call, to
    be listed into registration page

    richard: no preference

    addison: we scheduled calls separated from this slot, to
    welcome chunk of meetings, could follow that also this year

    richard: +1

    addison: can choose slots, and can send out

    richard: there is two windows in TPAC, and can select one
    … there is several hours slot, and can select one or two hours.
    if we agreed to have longer call, we can have something later

    addison: pick options and send email

    Action: addison: put "foot in the door" for TPAC and survey
    group for days/times

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1068 - Put "foot in the door" for
    tpac and survey group for days/times [on Addison Phillips - due
    2021-09-02].

    addison: for group update or videos?

    xfq: not for gorup update nor video, but joint group meetings?
    … for examples, miniapps WG discussed TPAC plans, one was
    manifest issue including i18n issues
    … i18n WG may also be interested on that area

    addison: we can offer joint meeting if it is desired
    … did with HTML or CSS

    richard: that's why we need to decide time, and WGs could pick
    from these slots
    … hope xfq can help addison on coordination

    Action: addison: ping chairs for TPAC cross meetings

    addison: send an offer from me to the WG?

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1069 - Ping chairs for tpac cross
    meetings [on Addison Phillips - due 2021-09-02].

    addison: follow up with xfq offline

   webAuthn follow-up

    <addison> [19]https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/
    member-i18n-core/2021Aug/0017.html

      [19] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-core/2021Aug/0017.html

    addison: I was on WebAuthn call yesterday, creating very
    strange seriarization on natural string, and had discussion
    with them, raised PR from agreement on last one
    … but got strange answer, so get into call yesterday again.
    … I've brought options to them, discussed, and proposed to
    raise new PR before their next teleconf in two week.
    … for process, moving it to REC could be difficult, with
    metadata
    … one option is to have metadata in data fields, another is
    create new mysterias seriarization scheme than they currently
    have
    … using ascii character instead of unicode language
    specification character
    … like JSON-LD on the end of the string

    richard: removing existing lines is good idea, and replacing is
    a good idea too
    … it seems second point will take some long time

    addison: for three field is already exists
    … no3 could be a little faster than others
    … open to push no2 - the right solution
    … one option is removing bytes and introducing something
    codable characters, not sure will fit within existing bytes
    restriction

    richard: some examples could be helpful?
    … we are dealing with string containing data
    … adding metadata could be longer
    … we have fixed length string, so we can not just add metadata

    addison: challange is fixed size structure for this than, and
    asking increasing each size
    … looking BCP47, longest non-extension and tag field is 35
    bytes

    [discussion on how to fit in short fixed size field]

    richard: the other thing, the language has this direction by
    default, but we need to eat more if will use different
    direction

    addison: credentials is normally email address etc., but could
    contain natural language-ed text
    … if that is the only string in the document, we can just use
    one metadata over document

    addison: additional field makes total size larger, and hard for
    small storage authentication tag

    richard: space constraints seems to be something important, all
    the bytes need for string as metadata need to fit within
    … serialization at the end of the string could be one of
    consideration

    richard: difference, data is the same whether including
    metadata - BCP r/l

    addison: difference among three, another field, possible
    truncation

    richard: another issue, where truncation is taken
    … if truncated after metadata added, all gone

    addison: concern is on wire or during storage
    … stored values with truncation could not be recovered

    addison: if we want to introduce in-string serialization, one
    is ascii serialization in JSON-LD, adding language and
    direction at the end of string, like three @-signs

    richard: if there is a size limit, starting with metadata could
    help

    <addison> [20]https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#the-i18n-namespace

      [20] https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#the-i18n-namespace

    addison: just replacing 4byte value to ascii, can save some

    felix: json-ld seems to rely on RDF 1.1. for the definition of
    language tagged strings 1.1

    addison: will work on proposal with deeper discussion and
    reasons

    <fsasaki> [see this reference from the json-ld spec to
    [21]https://www.w3.org/TR/
    rdf11-concepts/#dfn-language-tagged-string ]

      [21] https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-language-tagged-string

    richard: if you could find some examples, that's nice

    addison: reminder, Peter joining calls, on string truncation

   AOB?

    addison: can resume discussion on strings and metadata next
    week
