   RI, any comments?

   JO: 'Mozilla icon' in alt text should say Netscape

   DC: what if the platform makes a difference between behaviour of
   same user agent?

   RI: we generally operate on the assumption that the UAs behave the
   same on all platforms these days

   DC: this used to be an issue a while back with versions of IE

   RI: i think thsi si less of an issue these days

   DC: Firefox 1.5 is still supported at the moment

   RI: we support the latest versions only

   DC: what about IE6 then ?

   RI: at this moment, there's still a lot of IE6 users and it's almost
   like a different browser

   Discussion about Firefox versions

   DC: Firefox 1.5 is likely to be supported for a while yet, so we
   should probably reference that too

   [17]http://www.w3.org/International/tests/

     [17] http://www.w3.org/International/tests/

   JO: are tests run automatically via scripts ?

   RI: no, manual and visual inspection

   Discussion about test granularity and approaches

   JO: We should indicate the platform on which the tests were run
   ... I will make myself available for running tests on Mac

   RI: we do so for most results pages, but we need to check that this
   is clear on all

Forms and charter sets

   <scribe> ACTION: JO, put together a skeleton structure for an
   article about handling of encoding in forms and send to group a few
   days before next meeting [recorded in
   [18]http://www.w3.org/2007/01/10-i18ngeo-minutes.html#action02]

Base user agents for Specifying Language in XHTML & HTML Content? (
part 2 )

   RI: should we test Netscape ?

   All: yes

   RI: if there are other UAs that we feel should be added, eg.
   Konqueror, and we have a means to run the tests, please bring it to
   the group
