JSR Coordination Issues

    <ChrisL> Scribe: Andrew

    <ChrisL> ScribeNick: aemmons

    CL: We said it would just be traits, but you cannot access
    everyhitng with just traits so we added get/set attribute
    ... We got comfortable with get/setAttribute. The issue is if they
    can normalize. With DOM 3 they can
    ... We say normalization will happen in SVGT 1.2
    ... Can't put 7 spaces, value and do getAttribute and expect spaces
    ... Whay do they want it removed

    ED: They were added at the request of CDF

    CL: Ok, so it's the same as setAttributeNS but using null
    ... Worrying about what happens when you get a qualified attribute
    ... If you as for href, do you get xlink:href or only an unnames
    attribute called href?
    ... Most attributes we have are unqualified
    ... Most of our attribures are in the unnamed namespace
    ... I do not see their examples as counter-intuitive
    ... As their example increases, it gets confusing

    DS: We should ask them to join a telcon

    CL: I don't understand how they are getting the answers they do
    ... Think we need to respond to their e-mail asking for
    clarifications

    <scribe> ACTION: Aemmons to write JSR 287 EG and ask for
    clarification [recorded in
    [14]http://www.w3.org/2008/05/13-svg-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-2011 - Write JSR 287 EG and ask for
    clarification [on Andrew Emmons - due 2008-05-20].

Path normalization close command

    <ed>
    [15]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008AprJun/001
    5.html

      [15] 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008AprJun/0015.html

    ED: Discussed this in previous telcon

    CL: Saw a concern that if path added an extra line it would affect
    interpolation of path data because there is an extra segment

    DS: Also affects semantics of it. Script trying to detect if
    something was a closed path might have more difficulty

    ED: I wasn't saying you remove the close command, but close command
    interpreted as a lineTo

    DS: I think adding a 'z' is enough

    ED: Yes, the spec says if the end path is not the same as the start,
    you do a lineTo the start
    ... But am fine either way
    ... No strong opinion

    CL: Would like to see what implementations do
    ... Would like to see a test. One with implicit close one without
    ... Investigate a bit what implementations do

    DS: What implementations do we expect to test?

    CL: is the normalization aspect part of 1.1?

    ED: Partly, it says these are the allowed commands but does not
    mandate how it is done

    CL: It is now a problem because now we have internal normilization
    exposed ( what is in the DOM )
    ... 1.2 Tiny implementations but worth it to investigate 1.1 as
    well, the interpolation aspect at least

    DS: I ask because I do not use these as an author ( Path DOM ) for
    1.1

    CL: Test 2 paths, see if they interpolate, no DOM used there
    ... Separately, another which has a path and then uses DOM to
    display segments

    DS: Might be best to simply specify something and notify
    implementations.
    ... If we're finding this now, seems like a minor issue

    CL: I don't think so.
    ... Certainly worth testing the interpolation with 1.1

    <scribe> ACTION: Andreas to create two tests for normalizing 'z'.
    One with interpolation with 1.1, another with path DOM. Note one
    exists already for 1.2 DOM [recorded in
    [16]http://www.w3.org/2008/05/13-svg-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-2012 - Create two tests for normalizing
    'z'. One with interpolation with 1.1, another with path DOM. Note
    one exists already for 1.2 DOM [on Andreas Neumann - due
    2008-05-20].

    RESOLUTION: We will investigate quickly the issues, hopefully by the
    F2F meeting

Initial response for font-style issue

    <ed>
    [17]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Apr/0070.html

    3.html

      [18] 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-wg/2008AprJun/0033.html

    ED: Cameron suggests fixing our free font to have an italic version

    CL: Sure, font exists, we could use it
    ... All doesn't mean it guarentees it has bold/italic, it means it's
    really not telling you what it has
    ... A agree, having italic as well would be good, and font-style.
    But those are specific responses to the test

    AE: IN other words, there needsw to still be some clarification

    CL: I don't mind responding

    <scribe> ACTION: Chris to respond to Kalle regarding font-style
    issue [recorded in
    [19]http://www.w3.org/2008/05/13-svg-minutes.html#action03]

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-2013 - Respond to Kalle regarding
    font-style issue [on Chris Lilley - due 2008-05-20].

Font-family selection

    <ed>
    [20]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Apr/0069.html

      [20] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2008Apr/0069.html

    CL: Again, requires some possible clarification in the spec.
    ... I strated to look at this and collect the relevant pieces.

    <ChrisL> [21]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#aname

      [21] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#aname

    <ChrisL> A full font name would be Helvetica-BoldItalic

    <ChrisL> a font family name would be helvetica

    CL: A lot of Adobe tools get this wrong

    <ed> [22]http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/fonts.html#FontFaceNameElement
    doesn't really say anything about what it is

      [22] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/fonts.html#FontFaceNameElement

    <scribe> ACTION: Chris to review font-family selection e-mail, bring
    issues back to the group for discussion [recorded in
    [23]http://www.w3.org/2008/05/13-svg-minutes.html#action04]

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-2014 - Review font-family selection
    e-mail, bring issues back to the group for discussion [on Chris
    Lilley - due 2008-05-20].

    <ed>
    [24]http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/fonts.html#FontFaceSrcElement
    compare to

      [30] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Group/track/issues/334

    ED: Agree, would be nice to have some combined tests (
    scripting/animation )

    <scribe> ACTION: Anthony to create test with both animation and
    scripting [recorded in
    [31]http://www.w3.org/2008/05/13-svg-minutes.html#action06]

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-2016 - Create test with both animation
    and scripting [on Anthony Grasso - due 2008-05-20].

    <ChrisL> eg an animation from red to yellow, half way through a
    script changes red to blue on the element so the animation now goes
    from blue to yellow
