  Accept this agenda?

   -> [14]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2015/05/27-agenda

   Accepted.

  Accept minutes from the previous meeting?

   -> [15]http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/2015/04/29-minutes

   Accepted.

  Plan for the face-to-face

   -> [16]https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues

   Roughly: I think Wednesday morning for agenda planning; some mixture of
   discussion and drafting.

   Henry reports he's unavailable from 13:00-14:30 on Wednesday 10 June.

   Norm: What time do we want to start?

   Henry: Doors open at 8:30.

   Norm: I propose we start at 9:00.

   <ht> I propose we convene at the Police Box coffee kiosk, some 50 metres
   or so West of the front door, as they have good coffee. . .

   Alex: Some of the issues are nicely compartmentalized; others are central
   to a better draft. We should try to organize that list a little better.

   Norm: Perhaps we should divide the actions per spec to keep the step
   actions apart from the language actions.

  Next meeting

   Regrets from Norm and Henry for 3 June; next meeting is the face-to-face,
   9:00a on Wednesday 10 June.

  How to deal with local filesystem encodings, issue #159

   -> [17]https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/159

   <ht> Sigh

   Norm waffles about reading text files in known encodings from the
   filesystem; it's another crack between http-request and the filesystem.

   Alex: We could add a property.

   <ht> Call it file-media-type

   Norm: Where would you add the property?

   Alex: The request.

   <ht> my mistake

   Norm: Oh, ok, on the request not a document property in the "document
   properties" sense.

   <alexmilowski> text/plain; encoding=ascii

   Alex: Or we could add the encoding to the override-content-type as a
   parameter.

   <ht> That is definitely a good way to do it

   Norm: Yes, if you know the encoding you probably no the content-type.

   Alex: We could spec it..."If you specify the encoding and it's not
   provided by the system, then that's the encoding used..."

   <scribe> ACTION: Norm to spec the encoding parameter on
   override-content-type as a way to specify the encoding of documents.
   [recorded in [18]http://www.w3.org/2015/05/27-xproc-minutes.html#action01]

   <Zakim> ht, you wanted to note the different semantics, however. . .

   Henry: Well, we spoke of this in terms of only applying when the encoding
   wasn't provided.

   Norm: True.

   Henry: I think the server encoding is more likely to be correct.

   Norm mutters on about whether overriding the encoding from HTTP makes
   sense.

   Norm: Perhaps we should document it as an override, use with care.

  Shortcut attribute to define properties, issue #146

   -> [19]https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/146

   Norm: Aside from the microparsing of the attribute value, I'm sympathetic.

   Alex: We could add attribute sets

   Henry: That's just as complicated as using p:set-properties
   ... It's premature optimization

   Norm: Defer until we have more experience?

   Alex: Are there certain properties that we want to be able to set
   universally?
   ... Like content-type.

  Recurse directory on p:load, issue #156

   -> [20]https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/156

   Norm: I have reservations.

   Alex: I'd like to see the pipeline that does this with directory listing.
   ... And see how that would be simplified by this change. Maybe there are
   other things we can do to make this simpler.
   ... I think it's a good problem. I think we should look at the pipeline
   instead of adding a feature to load now.

   Norm: I just don't have to do this very often.

   Alex: You do this with ebooks all the time.

   Norm: Ah, true.

   Alex: A few good examples would help us understand the problem better.

  Any other business

   Alex: Can we take this to the list and have a conversation about agendas
   there.

   Norm: I'd be happy to have some help.

   Alex: Start with dividing the issue list into two sets and add priorities.

   Norm: Ok. Modulo the fact that there isn't complete parity between the
   action list and the issue list.

   Adjourned.

Summary of Action Items
