<PhilA> Discussion about the desirability of sanctioning 'bad code'
<PhilA> Chair; Kai
<PhilA> scribeNick: PhilA
DKA: Can we model some fake UA strings that are associated with a
typical kind of deficiency?
... that could be documented and then used to test to work around
the deficiency
Kai: Then you're testing for specific deficiencies
... We need to look at common deficiencies
DKA: That's what I mean - class of deficiency
... CSS causes problems, table support
... We should focus on devices that say they support, say WAP 2 and
actually don't. I can find out what they are
Kai: Can we say that the content provider can take reasonable steps
to accommodate common deficiencies.
... Meaning that if they have thought about it they may get an A for
Effort
Adam: So if you're using technologies that you know aren't fully
supported then you should work harder
Kai: It's about demonstrating that you are working around
deficiencies that yuo know about - without specifying what those
deficiencies are
Test is drafted and examples given
Further discussion about what the BP means. e.g. it does not mean
pixel-perfect across all devices. It's about usability and
intelligibility

due 2008-02-13].
[ERROR MESSAGES] [19]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#iddiv3126765624
[19] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#iddiv3126765624
Discussion about what to test and what to expect. The BP doc is
atypically verbose on this!
Tests for the Retry, Home and Back link; then test that error
message is in the expected language
<DKA> Some info on deficiencies:
<DKA> - different devices adding preset margins and padding. eg to
get a page he full width of the screen we need to use -2px on a
width setting because the device automatically adds a 2px margin
<DKA> - poor implementation of background css (colours and images)
while most devices support the functionality many support it poorly.
the main problem is that the backgrounds disappear or breakup on
scrolling
<DKA> - for a particular device: Scrolling the page, the [white]
text over category header bkg [coloured background] disappears (the
white text is still there, but the bkg color disappear
<DKA> - lack of proper <div> support. with many devices we have to
resort to tables to layout content because divs do not work. This
has various reasons (eg it is impossible to remove automatically
added padding)
<DKA> - cascading: many devices don't support the full cascading of
css selcters down the tree. This mans we have to add styles at all
levels on a device
<DKA> - most CSS is supported it's just how it is supported that is
the issue. Normally most CSS 1 is supported, but the implementation
means that we can't use it.
<DKA> (from Vodafone Live! team dealing with rendering issues)
Discussion around error messages continued.
Does a server pass on to an error page/handling URI the context of
the error, eg language? i.e. are we asking too much? Recorded as an
issue
[FONTS] [20]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#fonts
[20] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#fonts
The BP says don't rely on it... and then it says under how to do it,
don't do it for the DDC. This is a mismatch
[GRAPHICS_FOR_SPACING]
[21]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#GRAPHICS_FOR_SPACING
[21] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#GRAPHICS_FOR_SPACING
There is a partial and constrained test in Basic. The Human test is
actually much simpler
Kai: Does anyone think that we're going through these too quickly?
Discussion about what we're doing - feeling is that we'll create the
draft doc which can then be the basis for more in depth debate
As an aside, DKA reports the release of the OMA browser with support
for XHTML Basic 1.1 which is important for the transition of the BP
doc to Rec
[LIMITED] [22]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#LIMITED
[22] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#LIMITED
Discussion about what this BP means
Lengthy texts without pagination and so on is unlikely to be MOK
Basically, is the content 'designed' for mobile?
<drooks> scribenick drooks
<drooks> scribenick: drooks
drooks: there is a fine line between [limited] and [central meaning]
discussion centers around trying to distinguish between the 2 BPs
group is conscious not to target advertising as a bad thing
group descides to bundle [LIMITED] as [CENTRAL MEANING] as
difference between the 2 can not be determined

[37] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#STYLE_SHEETS_SIZE
long discussion about how to deal with this BP
should we check if any declared style elements are not used within
the site - tough human test
should we check if the CSS is a certain % of the main page content -
too restrictive
group comes up with a few tests that can be run
Topic [STYLE_SHEETS_SUPPORT]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-646 - Write more examples of suitable
BP. [on Daniel Appelquist - due 2008-02-13].
Adam: Need to check tab order regardless of whether tabindex has
been used.
topic TABLES_LAYOUT
Kai: CSS isn't suitable for everything, like cell grid layout.
Dan: We don't want to go back and revisit the BP document.
<adam> ScribeNick: adam
Dan: MobileOK Basic test returns a warn for certain formats of
table, the Pro test could be additive to that.
Discussion on why tables are bad (don't capture semantics of page)
and trying to define examples to flesh out the test.
TABLES_SUPPORT
TESTING
Kai: That they are running through this document implies that have
fulfilled this BP.
Adam: Can we group TESTING statement with DEFICIENCIES or
CAPABILITIES
Kai: Content-provider decides to create MOK Pro site, he has to get
somebody to test with devices in order to do that, so the test is
essentially a check-point that this has happened.
Alan: Just testing doesn't mean they've done anything about it.
... If a content-provider hands off to a testing company to get
MobileOK Pro they will only have the content-provider's word that
they really have done appropriate testing.
Kai: Open issue noted.
URIs
Kai: What constitutes short enough? We need to bracket this test
somehow.
Discussion on whether a limit should also consider the domain name,
or just the path.
