Agenda Details
1. Convene
Goals:
+ Appoint scribes
+ Review F2F logistics
+ Approve minutes of telconferences (are there any old
minutes to approve?)
2. Review F2F Goals and Agenda
Session shepherd:
Noah Mendelsohn
Session goals:
+ Review F2F Goals
o Establish more clearly TAG priorities for coming year
o Set goals and decide next steps for [27]ISSUE-60
(WebApplicationState-60) and for working draft
[28]Usage Patterns For Client-Side URI parameters
o Decide whether further TAG work on extensibility and
versioning will be cost effective, and in particular
whether it will likely have positive impact on the
development of HTML 5.
o Decide whether the TAG should be working more actively
in areas relating to use of the Web with "mobile"
devices.
o Decide whether the TAG should begin consideration of
architectural issues relating to W3C standardization
of APIs used for Web Application development.
o Make progress on other open TAG issues (e.g. metadata,
use of URI schemes, security, etc.)
+ Review F2F Agenda ([29]this document)
Preparation:
+ [30]Whiteboard summary of proposed TAG priorities from
March 2009 TAG F2F.
+ [31]TAG F2F Priorities email from Noah
3. W3C Work on Web APIs
Session shepherd:
Ashok Malhotra
Background:
Traditionally, most of the W3C's Recommendations have focused on
data formats such as HTML, identification mechanisms such as
URI's, etc. With the rise of AJAX, JavaScript and similar APIs
have become an increasingly important aspect of content and
application development for the Web
Session goals:
+ Discuss technical and architectural issues relating to Web
APIs.
+ Decide:
o Whether there are technical issues relating to APIs
that merit ongoing consideration by the TAG
o Decide whether the TAG should play a role in helping
the W3C to decide whether to undertake work in this
area, and/or how to structure charters for such work
Preparation:
+ To be supplied
4. Language Versioning and HTML
Session shepherds:
Jonathan Rees, Larry Masinter
Background:
The TAG has for years studied the means used to evolve document
and programming languages, and techniques for maximizing
interoperability as languages evolve. We have also considered
the structure and evolution of HTML in particular, including the
tradeoffs between "tag soup" and XHTML views of robustness and
error handling. This session is scheduled because some TAG
members have recently proposed that we may be able to apply our
analyses of language versioning to HTML in particular.
TAG Issues relating to this discussion:
+ [32]ISSUE-20 (errorHandling-20) What should specifications
say about error handling? — shepherd: Henry Thompson
+ [33]ISSUE-33 (mixedUIXMLNamespace-33) Composability for
user interface-oriented XML namespaces — no shepherd
+ [34]ISSUE-41 (LanguageVersioning-41) What are good
practices for designing extensible languages and for
handling versioning? — shepherd: Larry Masinter
+ [35]ISSUE-54 (TagSoupIntegration-54) Tag soup integration
— shepherd: Henry Thompson
Background:
+ To be supplied
Session goals (both sessions):
+ Decide whether further work on versioning by the TAG is
likely to have a constructive effect on HTML in particular
+ Consider, as a framework, the [36]draft prepared by Larry
Masinter and Jonathan Rees
+ Decide which issue(s) we will use to track this work, and
ensure that shepherds have been identified.
Preparation:
+ To be supplied
5. [37]ISSUE-60: Web Application State Management
Session shepherd:
T.V. Raman
Background:
+ The TAG has recently issued a First Public Working Draft
titled [38]Usage Patterns For Client-Side URI parameters
Session goals:
+ Make plans for further work on Client Side URI parameters
+ Plan next draft of [39]Usage Patterns For Client-Side URI
parameters
Preparation:
+ First Public Working Draft of [40]Usage Patterns For
Client-Side URI parameters
6. JavaScript Security
Session shepherd:
Jonathan Rees
Background:
+ The TAG recently [41]discussed JavaScript technologies such
as [42]Caja, which apply capability-based sandboxing
techniques to JavaScript. The goal is to support the "safe"
execution of untrusted JavaScript code in a Web page.
+ The chair does not believe that we currently have an open
issue that would provide for continued work in this area.
+ [43]ACTION-274: See if I can reconstruct a discussion with
tlr where present course and speed will lead to GET-based
links becoming regarded as unsafe - on Dan Connolly. This
is marked PENDING REVIEW, and it appears that no followup
on unsafe GET is planned.
Session goals:
+ Clarify significant use cases for safe execution of
untrusted code in Web pages (I.e. remind ourselves why we
care).
+ Further educate the TAG regarding technical work and
standardization efforts relating to safe execution of
untrusted code in Web pages.
+ Decide whether the TAG has a continued interest in working
in this area, and if so, with what goals.
+ Open an issue and assign a shephard, if appropriate.
Preparation:
+ To be supplied
7. Mobile Web
Session shepherd:
John Kemp
Background:
+ John Kemp has offered to give us an overview of important
issue relating to the Mobile Web, based on his 10 years of
experience working in that area.
Goals:
+ Get better informed about the Mobile Web, related
architectural challenges
+ Decide whether the TAG wants to undertake work relating
specifically to the Mobile Web. If so, open issues, assign
shepherds, and agree on next steps as appropriate.
Background:
+ To be supplied
8. Metadata Access and Formats
Session shepherds:
Ashok Malhotra (metadata access), Jonathan Rees (metadata
formats and ontologies)
TAG Issues relating to this discussion:
+ [44]ISSUE-57 (HttpRedirections-57) The use of HTTP
Redirection — shepherd: Jonathan Rees
+ [45]ISSUE-62 (UniformAccessToMetadata-62) — shepherd: Ashok
Malhotra (this issue was "split" from issue-57 at the
[46]March 2009 TAG F2F meeting.)
+ [47]ISSUE-63 (MetadataFramework-63) Metadata on the web:
representations and ontologies? — shepherd: Larry Masinter
([48]ACTION-254 calls for Larry to announce creation of
this issue on www-tag.)
+ [49]ISSUE-54 (TagSoupIntegration-54) Tag soup integration
— shepherd: Henry Thompson
Background:
+ As noted above, we discussed metadata access and formats at
the [50]March 2009 TAG F2F meeting, and we now have 3
issues open, but it's not clear that we are making good
progress.
+ Some TAG members have informed the chair that this area is
of interest to them.
Goals:
+ Take stock of where we are on all of the above, and see
what if anything we actually want to do.
Preparation:
+ To be supplied
9. Naming Schemes
Session shepherd:
Henry Thompson
Background:
+ [51]ISSUE-50 (URNsAndRegistries-50): URIs, URNs, "location
independent" naming systems and associated registries for
naming on the Web - shepherd: Henry Thompson
+ May also be related to [52]ISSUE-49 (schemeProtocols-49):
Relationship of URI schemes to protocols and operations -
no shepherd assigned
Goals:
+ Make sure we are agreed on target audience, success
criteria, etc. for this work.
+ Review the new Dirk and Nadia draft
+ Consider whether this work should be better coordinated
with, e.g., [53]ISSUE-49.
+ Decide on next steps.
Preparation:
+ June 2009 draft of [54]Dirk and Nadia design a naming
scheme (the new draft is promised within the next few days
— this agenda will be updated with a pointer to the new
copy when available)
10. HTTP Semantics (AWWSW)
Session shepherd:
Jonathan Rees
Background:
+ Jonathan Rees has been participating in the regular
teleconferences of a group attempting to more formally
define the semantics of HTTP ([55]email archives). This
work was started, at least informally, under the auspices
of the TAG.
+ Recently, discussions have focused on trying to clarify the
concept of Information Resource, particularly in the case
of Generic Resources. Some questions have arisen, and the
TAG's input may be helpful in resolving them.
Goals:
+ Get a summary from Jonathan of progress that's been made,
and questions that have arisen.
+ Provide guidance on the nature of Information Resources and
Generic Resources.
+ Decide whether continued involvement in attempts to
formalize HTTP semantics remains a priority for the TAG.
Preparation:
+ To be supplied
11. TAG Priorities
Session shepherd:
Noah Mendelsohn
Background:
+ Discussion of TAG priorities at the [56]March 2009 TAG F2F
(see minutes of all days, as there were several sessions,
and also several lists of potential work areas.)
