    <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

    <scribe> ACTION: Daniel to seek examples of common deficiencies that
    should be worked around [recorded in
    [16]http://www.w3.org/2008/02/06-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot-ng> Sorry, amibiguous username (more than one match) -

    <trackbot-ng> Try using a different identifier, such as family name
    or username (eg. dappelqu, dschutz)

    <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-645 - Seek examples of common

    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

    <PhilA> Topic [LINK TARGET ID]

      [23] http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#iddiv3126683960

[LINK_TARGET_ID]

    achuter: explains why using 'click here' and 'more' link text is bad
    for screen reader users

    group leaves 'click here' and 'more' links as open issue

      [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]
    [38]http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#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.
