RE: Content Transformation Guidelines: Last Call Working Draft

Hello Dom,

Firstly, apologies for the very large time period that has elapsed between your request below and this response.

The TAG finally got around to discussing this matter during our telcon yesterday (see draft minutes at [1]) - and other than 'this looks fine' and a suggestion that review also be sought from the IETF HTTP WG we have no comments to make.

Whilst not clearly recorded at [1] our reviewer, Norm, also commented positively on the care that had been put into being faithful to Web Architecture and our findings.

Once again apologies for the delay in responding.

Regard

Stuart Williams

> Subject: Content Transformation Guidelines: Last Call Working Draft
>
> Hello TAG, HTML WG, XHTML2 WG, WebApps WG, HCG Chairs, Bennett,
>
> The W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group has been developing a
> set of guidelines for Content Transformation proxies (i.e. non
> transparent HTTP proxies) to address some of the needs identified in
> particular on mobile networks.
>
> These guidelines have just been published as a Last Call
> Working Draft:
> http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/

>
> The Last Call review period extends until September 16, and
> we would be
> grateful if your group could review the document, in particular:
>  * for the TAG, since the document relates to its issue
> genericResources-53 and its accompanying finding
> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/alternatives-discovery (the BPWG will
> send comments on that finding next week)
>  * for the HTML and XHTML2 Working Groups, since the document
> makes use
> of the (X)HTML link element to give hints on content transformation
> proxies
>  * for the WebApps Working Group, since the document has some
> provision
> on specific behavior for XmlHTTPRequest type of requests (as
> highlighted
> by one of our own comments on the XmlHTTPRequest spec:
> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapi/2008May/0064.html )
>  * for the HyperText CG, as the official point of liaison
> with the Open
> Mobile Alliance which might want to submit a review on the document
> given its implications on the mobile ecosystem
>
> (the Working Group is also requesting a review from the IETF HTTPBis
> Working Group [1], and will do as well with targeted mobile web
> developers communities which have been vocal on that topic).
>
> If your group wants to submit a review but is unable to provide it in
> that timeframe, please let us know so that we can determine a possible
> extension of the review period.
>
> Thanks,
>
