[agenda] CT Call 25 November 2008

Here is the agenda.
Many topics, but most of them should hopefully take less time to review 
than it took me to write them down in the agenda.

Let's try to start on time!

Thanks,
Francois.

1. ISSUE-284: W3C mobile addressing standards
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg/2008Nov/0044.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-altering-header-values

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Add some text in 4.1.5 to state that inferring that 
a desktop User-Agent is needed in the absence of any indication (e.g. 
URI patterns) is contrary to the guidelines


2. User experience
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Oct/0046.html

- algorithm proposed to precise what "improving the user experience" may 
mean from a technological point of view based on HTTP headers, UAProf, 
and DDR, and priorities among capabilities. Cannot and does not attempt 
to cover everything. Points of disagreement on the details
- out of scope since it describes the internal operation of a CT proxy.
- agreed?


3. Capability negotiation on the client side
-----
Thread:
same as above
- not mentioned in Scope for Future Work

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: add a reference to CC/PP in Scope for Future Work 
as a possible future way to communicate between a mobile device and a 
CT-proxy


4. "Dry" statements for Alteration of Response and LC-2053 on Classes of 
Devices (4.2.8.1)
-----
Thread:
same as above and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0051.html
Last Call comment:
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/2053
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-alteration-of-response

- Normative statements must be testable.
- The following two statements are not:
  * "A proxy SHOULD strive for the best possible user experience that 
the user agent supports"... not good.
  * "It SHOULD only alter the format, layout, dimensions etc. to match 
the specific capabilities of the user agent"... what are we trying to say?
- Reword along the lines of "exploit the capabilities of the device" 
with a link to MWBP?

... and close ACTION-880 on Eduardo about this.


5. LC-2023 - note instead of alteration of the list (4.2.8.1)
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0044.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-alteration-of-response

- fine with the note?

... and close ACTION-881 on Jo


6. Validation against formal published grammar (4.2.8.1)
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0037.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-alteration-of-response

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: ref. Validation against formal published grammar, 
two guidelines "The altered content MUST be well-formed (if it's 
XML-based)" and "The altered content SHOULD validate to an appropriate 
published formal grammar"


7. LC-2050 - Restructuring, recoding, optimizing
-----
Jo's changelog at:
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/2050
- we had resolved to mention we are only talking about restructuring.
- while preparing the new draft, Jo thought it did not make sense anymore.
- agreed?

... and close old ACTION-832 on Sean


8. Alteration of header fields (4.1.5)
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0019.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-altering-header-values

- "Proxies SHOULD NOT change headers other than User-Agent and 
Accept(-*) headers[...]"
... inconsistent with 4.1.6 since the CT proxy is already asked to add 
X-Forwarded-For and Via headers and to *change* them (more specifically, 
to complete their values) if they are already defined.
- any other header that could be changed by a "regular" proxy?

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: ref. alteration of header fields, change the 
statement to read "Proxies SHOULD NOT change headers other than 
User-Agent and Accept(-*) headers, and X-Forwarded-For and Via as noted 
under 4.1.6 Additional HTTP Headers if already present, and MUST NOT 
delete headers.

... and close ACTION-843 on Jo


9. Testing
-----

- action someone to propose some text to clarify the intent?


10. Cached responses and pagination
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0023.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-serving-cached-responses

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: replace SHOULD by MUST in "and [proxies] SHOULD 
provide a simple means of retrieving a fresh copy"

(should we resolve that, any reason not to also replace the previous 
SHOULD in "[proxies] SHOULD notify the user that this is the case"?)


11. LC-2040 - On properly defining the X-Device-* headers
-----
Thread:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0062.html
Doc:
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/Guidelines/081107#sec-original-headers
Last Call comment:
http://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/37584/WD-ct-guidelines-20080801/2040

- Stick to "existing practice" or define the header appropriately?
- I note we also reference the X-Forwarded-For header.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION: No identified problem associated with switching a 
HEAD request to a GET request, other than the fact that server 
statistics are impacted. No text change in 4.1.1 on that regard.

... and close ACTION-710 on Francois.


13. LC-2097 - Review of OPES work
-----

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Nov/0071.html

- Amend the text on http-equiv not to mention specifically *HTML* content?
- Proxies should treat WML content as though a "no-transform" directive 
was present?

still allowed?
