   <rubys1> trackbot, start meeting

   <trackbot> Date: 09 July 2009

   <johndrinkwater> I guess I might be ??P5- no mic though..

Convene, take roll, review agenda

ISSUE-32 (table-summary)

   <masinter> i suggest calling this a "straw poll" rather than a
   "vote"?

   LMM: i suggest calling this a "straw poll" rather than a "vote"

   DanC: that would make it non-binding

   LMM: yes, but it would predict the results of a binding vote pretty
   well

   <Laura> +Laura

   DanC: there's a possibility that a vote will be avoided consensus?

   LMM: but a straw poll would help in any case; it eliminates
   possibilities that noone supports

   <Lachy> I would prefer a straw poll

   MM: I have my doubts [about a straw poll]

   Laura: we could do a straw poll and then a vote

   <masinter> wouldn't need to review "good standing" of wg members who
   haven't been active

   DanC: I think a straw poll is a good idea

   <MikeSmith> action-59 due 2009-07-03

   <trackbot> ACTION-59 Track progress on edits related to issue-38
   style-attr-syntax in section html5/#style0 due date now 2009-07-03

   MM: on research... I'm in contact with Jutta Trev. [sp?] at [u.
   toronto?]; perhaps next week I can give more info on usability
   studies

   <MikeSmith> oops

   <MikeSmith> issue-59?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-59 -- Should the HTML WG produce a separate
   document that is a normative language reference and if so what are
   the requirements -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [17]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/59

     [17] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/59

   <pimpbot> Title: ISSUE-59 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

ISSUE-59 (normative-language-reference)

   action-109?

   <trackbot> ACTION-109 -- Michael(tm) Smith to hand out work to
   reviewers of H:TML -- due 2009-06-25 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [18]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/109

     [18] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/109

   <pimpbot> Title: ACTION-109 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

   <MikeSmith> action-109 due 2009-07-23

   <trackbot> ACTION-109 hand out work to reviewers of H:TML due date
   now 2009-07-23

   <masinter> question about whether document compliance ("authoring
   requirements") might be better handled here

   <MikeSmith> action-110 due 2009-07-23

   <trackbot> ACTION-110 Add note to H:TML draft about what's currently
   missing and planned to be added due date now 2009-07-23

   LMM: there was a bugzilla bug and such about authoring
   requirements...
   ... whether they belong in the same spec with
   how-to-build-a-browser...
   ... so that's something to consider

   Mike: not much news on my action; moved them back a couple weeks.

ISSUE-60 (html5-xhtml-namespace)

   Sam: I suggest that the recent announcement about the XHTML 2 WG
   addresses my action

   close ACTION-105

   <trackbot> ACTION-105 Should arrange a meeting between chairs of
   HTML WG and XHTML2 WG to ensure there is a plan for coordination of
   vocabularies to avoid incompatibilities. closed

   <Lachy> yes, close this issue

   LMM: there may be some follow-up

   <Lachy> XHTML 2.0 will end life as a WG NOTE

   MM: does this announcement mean XHTLM 2.0 won't be produced?

   Sam: I expect it'll become a Note

   Julian: if XHTML 2 is published as a Note, which namespace woudl it
   use?

   Lachy: It won't matter, as a Note isn't something people are likely
   to deploy/implement

   MM: I'm a little confused... HTML 5 uses which namespace?
   ... does W3C have namespace policies?

   <Lachy> I suppose someone could take an ACTION to contact the
   XHTML-WG and ask that their work be published as a NOTE using the
   previously used 2002/02/xhtml2 (I think) namespace from older
   working drafts

   DanC: yes

   MM: is there a missing policy?

   DanC: I don't think so; I think what we need re this issue is done;
   there were 2 WGs specifying the /1999/xhtml namespace and now
   there's one

   <masinter> Murray is still concerned about the continuity of the
   xhtml namespace

   <masinter> I will take an action item in 2 weeks to insure that the
   versioning discussion at least touches on this

   <masinter> OK?

   <scribe> ACTION: Larry insure that the versioning discussion at
   least touches on XHTML 2 interactions with the /1999/xhtml namespace
   [recorded in
   [19]http://www.w3.org/2009/07/09-html-wg-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-129 - insure that the versioning
   discussion at least touches on XHTML 2 interactions with the
   /1999/xhtml namespace [on Larry Masinter - due 2009-07-16].

   action-129 due 23 July

   <trackbot> ACTION-129 insure that the versioning discussion at least
   touches on XHTML 2 interactions with the /1999/xhtml namespace due
   date now 23 July

   <masinter> i think there needs to be another action to review any
   "Note" that comes out about XHTML2 to make sure that it doesn't
   contain text redefining 1999/xhtml incompatibily

   <Lachy> Murray, XHTML5 retains compatibility with existing XHTML 1.0
   namespaced documents.

   <masinter> this 'issue' was an administrative one, there's likely a
   technical one too

   MM: I'm concerned that if HTML 5 use the /1999/xhtml namespace it'll
   upset compatibility expectations

   Sam: if HTML 5 used a different namespace it would break existing
   content on the web

ISSUE-63 (origin-req-scope)

   <MikeSmith> action-96?

   <trackbot> ACTION-96 -- Henri Sivonen to to ensure editor removes
   Origin header: from spec -- due 2009-07-08 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [20]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/96

     [20] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/96

   <pimpbot> Title: ACTION-96 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

ISSUE-4 (html-versioning)

   LMM: the TAG discussed this in a recent ftf... [see www-tag for
   minutes]... I expect the document discussed will be revised w.r.t.
   that discussion...
   ... my hope was to relate some well-understood principles to the
   doctype/versioning issue... I'm optimistic

   ACTION-108 due 23 July

   <trackbot> ACTION-108 Report back on the TAG's work on versioning
   wrt HTML due date now 23 July

ISSUE-35 (aria-processing)

   Cynthia: we put out a WD 8 Jun
   ... things are on track...
   ... I have a TF participant from Opera; still hoping for
   particpation from Apple

   acton-114 due 1 Aug

   Cynthia: the draft is "aria implementation guide"

   <masinter> (re versioning, TAG discussed it at its F2F meeting,

   Cynthia: perhaps... it does have some examples

   <masinter> action-125?

   <trackbot> ACTION-125 -- Julian Reschke to coordinate with LMM and

   -- due 2009-07-02 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [27]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/125

     [27] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/125

   <pimpbot> Title: ACTION-125 - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

   Julian: we're organizing a BOF at the next IETF, and Larry is
   working on updating the IRI spec

   Larry: I started from the IRI spec, thinking this is a new protocol
   element, separate from IRIs and and LEIRIs, but I think this [?] is
   a change to the mapping from IRI to URI...
   ... but I think the mapping needs another parameter, i.e. the
   encoding of the document character set, which defaults to utf-8...
   ... also, space handling should be tweaked...

   (yup, sounds right to me)

   Larry: that's the design I have in mind ... I haven't gotten around
   to soliciting review by email

   Julian: hmm... that's not the case in Atom documents... have to be
   careful about that default

   Larry: ah; right... yes.

   <Julian> (need to be careful about to which document formats the new
   encoding consderations apply - HTML5 would, Atom not (?))

   ACTION-125 due 1 Aug

   <trackbot> ACTION-125 Coordinate with LMM and DanC to get an
   Internet Draft that addresses some HTML 5 href issues due date now 1
   Aug

Overdue actions

   ACTION-38 due 30 July

   <trackbot> ACTION-38 Chairs to review need for amending charter with
   Director due date now 30 July

   Sam that was pending on the XHTML 2 stuff.

ISSUE-7 video-codecs

   <masinter> DanC: two minds, like image -- don't need to spec it,
   other hand, might be important

   LMM: I think the factors affecting the choice of codec are largely
   outside the control of this WG: perceptions about licensing,
   quality, etc. ...
   ... I'm more concerned with the perception that some decision got
   made when it didn't
   ... my suggestion is: the issue is still open...
   ... one idea is a note on the small number of choices and why we
   haven't chosen
   ... is it possible to move the <video> tag to a separate document,
   with its own schedule?

   Sam: I'm interested in volunteers

   DanC: video is feature #1 in community discussion of HTML 5;
   separating its schedule would be a challenge

   Sam: I'm calling for volunteers to take an active position on this
   issue; Ian has stated his.
   ... I note Rob Sayer's start

   <scribe> ACTION: Sam review status of video codec positions
   [recorded in
   [28]http://www.w3.org/2009/07/09-html-wg-minutes.html#action02]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-130 - Review status of video codec
   positions [on Sam Ruby - due 2009-07-16].

   action-130 due 30 July

   <trackbot> ACTION-130 Review status of video codec positions due
   date now 30 July

   Cynthia: a deadline helps some people

   Julian: the diff between April and the current draft is that he took
   out the "it would be nice..." [requirements] text. The actual text
   to remove the Theora codec was a year ago or so.
   ... I'm not sure why the statement of desired codec was removed

   <Julian> the text that was removed recently is:
