[16:06] <sylvaing> scribenick: sylvaing
[16:08] <sylvaing> jfkthame: there has been a lot of discussion on the mailing list about the metadata block
[16:08] <sylvaing> jfkthame: there seems to be two questions
[16:09] <sylvaing> jfkthame: whether browsers should be required to do something with metadata, and whether the WOFF spec is the place to state this
[16:10] <sylvaing> (scribe is not 100% sure he transcribed the two questions exactly right)
[16:11] <sylvaing> Vlad: I have a procedural question re: SHOULD vs. MAY. I thought both were non normative.
[16:13] <sylvaing> explains that they are levels of normativeness
[16:17] <erik> member:zakim, who is here?
[16:17] <erik> zakim, who is here?
[16:18] <sylvaing> Vlad: I believe the conversation is achieving consensus that this requirement from UAs would be a MAY
[16:19] <sylvaing> jfkthame: then the last paragraph of section 6 could use a more formal "User agents MAY provide...etc" Is that right ?
[16:19] <sylvaing> cslye: yes, that should be the place where this goes
[16:20] <sylvaing> erik: do we keep the 'if there is a means to view the info then the metadata block....' ?
[16:20] <sylvaing> Vlad, jfkthame: that's a complementary but separate issue
[16:21] <sylvaing> cslye: the purpose of that is to clarify possible conflicts between the container's metadata and what the OT font says, right /
[16:21] <sylvaing> jfkthame: yes
[16:21] <sylvaing> cslye: I think I agree but I'll think about that
[16:22] <sylvaing> RESOLVED: UAs MAY provide a means to expose metadata to the user
[16:22] <cslye> (Responding to the question of whether to use SHOULD or MUST for metadata primacy.)
[16:24] <sylvaing> explains his concern about the metadata format wrt to its extensibility
[16:34] <sylvaing> <discussion of name-value pair structure vs. a standard hierarchical xml document>
[16:36] <sylvaing> Vlad: there seems to be agreement that the metadata is not machine-readable in the sense that the UA acts for it; there also seems to be agreement that it's meant for human beings
[16:54] <sylvaing> ACTION sylvaing write up an example of a property-based metadata format to follow up on Tal's mail
[16:54]  * trackbot noticed an ACTION. Trying to create it.
