[65]
http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/Drafts/BestPractices-2.0/ED-mobile-bp2-20080303
DKA: There has been a bit of dribbling...
We start on BP2...
DKA: We need to spend some time on issues, actions and coffee
JR: 2 1/5 hours on BP2?
BP 2
BS: I was making changes as we were going yesterday. The major
things not yet there are the ETRI input and the references to other
"best Practice" documents.
... most changes are in section 5. I tried to use a low-tech way of
saying things where possible. Some needs more wordsmithing, but
would be good to go through and look at what was there.
[Bryan shows the list of things that are indicative of what "Web
Applications" are]
<jo> [66]Changes to BP 2 since yesterday
[66]
http://www.w3.org/2007/10/htmldiff?doc1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2FMWI%2FBPWG%2FGroup%2FDrafts%2FBestPractices-2.0%2FED-mobile-bp2-20080303++&doc2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2005%2FMWI%2FBPWG%2FGroup%2FDrafts%2FBestPractices-2.0%2FED-mobile-bp2-20080304
BP2 5.5
BS: These things will need to be reflected back as requirements in
the earlier section on objectives
... there are a bunch of things to do with efficient use of network.
I already had a section on conserve network traffic.
... 5.5.2 has changed to be more general.
JR: The notion of HTTP compression needs to be clarified
... HTTP says you can use gzip, so do...
CMN: Gzip has a cost in terms of memory/processing, so we need to
show this is valuable or raise an issue on it.
JR: We want to say "use HTTP to note that you compressed (and how)"
DKA: We may also want to acknowledge the work of EXI (efficient XML
interchange). Without requiring the use of EXI (which is not
supported) we should encurage its use.
... EXI has been designed to minimise cost of compression
BS: I have explanatory text that explains the mechanisms, and that
it needs to be balanced against resource usage etc.
<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to say we shouldn't say that until we
have implementation proof
CMN: EXI cannot be anything more than an informative reference if we
don't have an implementation...
JR: BS pointed out that tokenisation is an efficient approach to
compression.
BS: Or WBXML - widely used in WAP1.
DKA: The thing behind WMLC?
BS: Yes
... so do you compress at application level or transport level?
DKA: Does that mean WBXML is supported by browsers that support WML?
<scribe> ACTION: Chaals to check if Opera supports WBXML in and/or
out of its WML support [recorded in
[67]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-688 - Check if Opera supports WBXML in
and/or out of its WML support [on Charles McCathieNevile - due
2008-03-11].
BS: We can reference EXI?
JR: Non-normatively
... It is probably worth calling out application level and transport
level compression.
<DKA> [68]http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-exi-best-practices-20071219/
[68] http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-exi-best-practices-20071219/
BS: can we say "and other proprietary techniques"
CMN: No, those are not relevant to the Web
JR: We need to say "if the device supports it"
CMN: We should be supporting widely-used and standard mechanisms -
pro gzip because it is deployed and standard, EXI perhaps because we
expect it to be good, not OBML because you haven't got a sec for it
anyway...
DKA: Agree. Think we can do that by ordering the way we talk abut
these. When talking about XHR, do we need to make specific mention
about compression for those types of transactions?
CMN: XHR doesn't currently have a way of gzipping AFAIK, although
there was a request to WebAPI at one point to build an API for this
purpose.
<jo> ACTION: Chaals to check XHR compression [recorded in
[69]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-689 - Check XHR compression [on Charles
McCathieNevile - due 2008-03-11].
DKA: Isn't it possible to set this though XHR?
CMN: Believe not - will check.
BS: Will add a note clarifying that it may not always be possible to
compress data.
... In the content, I added some stuff to clarify when it
does/doesn't help to make transactions.
JR: There is something that could be said about having regard to the
type of connections available. Question is whether you can determine
that
DKA: That's something about access to the device context at
application level. You can infer it, but you don't know yet.
JR: There is probably something we can look at.
BS: The objective in OMA is to create a set of properties including
bearer awareness, that should be available through DCCI
DKA: BP1 left the representation to the reader as an exercise. There
are issues like cost of roaming that will continue - could be useful
to suggest that you allow users to set the amount of access by some
user-provided information
JR: It's a nice idea. It was watered down in BP1 on the basis that
it wasn't actually practised, ergo couldn't be a best practice.
DKA: There is a preference in iPhone that says "don't use data when
roaming". I wonder if we could give guidance to application
developers to replicate that function?
JR: Think we should try to put some pointer in.
<jo> ack
BS: The networks that are being used is information available to
content providers, via cntext information that is knowable.
... e.g. we can figure out how fast the network is running and we
forward that to the content provider
JR: So it seems there is some information already...
... so there should be something that goes in there.
BS: [reads some example text]
5.5.3 - Push
BS: Push is widely deployed in networks. As a way to do event-based
delivery instead of polling you could use it to minimise network
traffic
CMN: It's in WAP browsers
BS: Almost every phone browser is a WAP browser, and they
implemented push
CMN: Push isn't in "Web" browsers - full internet as opposed to WAP
browsers
JR: There are two cases here... on the one hand WAP push and on the
other hand application binding to incoming SMS to generate event
based behavior
BS: There is a problem of education. There is no generic way to bind
SMS to an application, and that would be a proprietary
implementation detail.
JR: ..."if the device supports it".
BS: The only standard method I know of is MIDP registry.
JR: To my mind there is a distinction between WAP push and bindings
on information pushed to an application. Maybe more information is
needed...
BS: We haven't said that MIDP-based browsers are not in scope...
CMN: No. But I think it is clear that MIDP-based stuff is not
readily within the scope of Web stuff - it is a particualr platform,
in the same way that ActiveX relies ona aprticular platform, rather
than being a general Web technology.
JR: Think we need some more research to look at this... would
someone like to take an Action?
<jo> s/ona aprticular/on a particular/
[pregnant silence]
<jo> ACTION: JR to raise Issue as to availability of binding to
incoming SMS from script [recorded in
[70]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-690 - Raise Issue as to availability of
binding to incoming SMS from script [on Jo Rabin - due 2008-03-11].
BS: Overall intention of this is to bring awareness to the
differentiated delivery methods brought about by push technology. I
think it is in our interest here to promote push technology however
it is implemented - it does have a number of advantages.
... we can consider other possible approaches.
BP2 5.5.4 minimise application size
BS: Added a bunch of text here
JR: Need to avoid repeating BP1. I was dubious about Adam's point
about nested selectors, overuse of generic class and so on.
... In respectof the technique Adam suggested, how widely recognised
is it?
... it is a disaster for maintainability if your content changes
shape, and requires support for CSS 2...
MJ: About half of Volantis code is about optimising CSS - we
consider it implemented best practice.
JR: Curious about how you deal with changes to structure and the
impacton CSS
MJ: We do some analysis, but we are essentially generating the CSS
anyway. The benefits tend to outweigh the costs.
... but I do take the point.
JR: Seems that some element of the benefit needs to be balanced
against the cost of maintainability.
... As long as you are at th top of the class structure, things are
fine.
DKA: Sounds like we ought to include "something"...
JR: Yes, we seem to be coming to recommend this, but with caveats.
BS: Should optimisation be done during delivery as opposed to
up-front? It seems that reduces the cost....
JR: Yes, I think that is a good technique to use.
BS: There is also the use of markup, rather than script
CMN: Think that this si a seperate BP about not playing with the DOM
more than necessary
JR: This is a specific technique for CSS, and something about
dynamic changes to HTML. Leet's split these out
RF: Didn't Aron have a counter-case?
CMN: I think there is an edge-case (table processing?) that needs to
be noted in a caveat
BP2 5.5.5 Minimise external script files
BS: Seemed to relate to both network impact and overall size.
... impactis data use and service latency
JR: Should be balanced against the possibility of caching script
files across pages.
MJ: There is a danger reading the text taht people decide to put the
script files into page content, destroying the ability to cache the
scripts
BS: Caching diminishes the ovrhead problem this is trying to deal
with, right?
CMN: Don't we have this in BP 1?
JR: We did this in reference to CSS.
DKA: I think we are going to run up against a lot of things where we
are elaborating BP1. I think that's fine.
CMN: So we should put specific pointers back to things we are
elaborating from BP1.
JR: We need to discuss terminology. "main page" is not terminology
consistent with BP1.
... Where we refer to resources, etc.
BS: I have been trying to use common language.
JR: There is a decision to be made. Consistency with our existing
teminology has value.
DKA: It is important to get the terminology right. We produced a
document that was too hard to read, and we should be looking to do
better.
... We really need to keep the target audiencein mind, and not
maintain terminology from BP1 as sacred.
JR: If we have back references this needs to be clarified
<Zakim> DKA, you wanted to make a note about readibility
BS: In using the terminology like application, pulling focus away
from presentation in a page as the model, we are inherently
expecting the developer to stretch their though. As long as we
explain up front what we mean, developers should understand and we
should be able to use langauge as straightforward as possible.
JR: think we need to raise an issue on terminology.
<jo> ACTION: Dan to raise issue and start discussion on main page,
external resources and so on [recorded in
[71]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action04]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-691 - Raise issue and start discussion
on main page, external resources and so on [on Daniel Appelquist -
due 2008-03-11].
CMN: agree with Dan that clearer language is better than consistency
with BP1. But we should point back to the ideas that are the same,
and bring that out.
FD: Think it would be good to have more examples - bits of code that
developers can look at.
JR: Now, rub some more salt in...
... That was what the techniques wiki was meant to do. It is a great
idea, but you need the samples first
DKA: We thought building a Wiki would mean we would get the code. We
could take a strctured approach and action people more directly.
JR: All a great idea. Show me the content.
... Should cross-reference BP1 WHITE_SPACE
next...
BS: Slotted stuff that could go into various boxes into presentation
DKA: We should make time in the agenda to look at the stuff from
Jonathan.

BP2 contribution from Sunghan
Sunghan: about user-device interaction and experience
... IP access from any other devices, as well as Web
<francois> [73]Sunghan input
[73] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-bpwg/2008Feb/0105.html
Sunghan: eg using PC to send message to web that's received and
replied to by a phone
... "seamless" means service mobility between different networks
Dan: how can we take this input and distill it into statements of
Best Practice?
... ie techniques to ensure seamless access to content?
Bryan: BP1 recognised thematic consistency
... already contains "multi-screen" environment.
<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to note that it raises one web as part of
scope
Bryan: but switching between them is perhaps new
Chaals: missing from current scope is "kind of things in BP2 scope
are things that will work on the web" [as well as on the mobile]
Jo: to get into BP2 need "do this... don't do that..." statements
... do you mean "make your content work in all contexts" or "design
your content with all user interfaces in mind but don't ignore focus
of content in different environments"?
Sunghan: I've scoped the problem, not proposed the solution
techniques
... ie users will use PCs and mobiles together - not one or the
other
Jo: MWI steering council is asking why a seperate mobile apps WG?
shouldn't we talk about how different interfaces work together?
<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to note that something this implies is
"allow people to identify themselves as being on different devices"
Jo: so this is a good hint to address how users make use of
different interfaces co-operatively
Chaals: allow users to identify themselves as the same person on
different devices?
... eg identity on Opera mini on a phone = Opera on a PC
Bryan: user with services on desktop PC and mobile is commonplace
... a BP is that these views should synchronise in as timely a
manner as possible
Dan: "thematic consistency" became an improtant BP1 principle
... maybe this can be a guiding principle for BP2?
Jo: so can we turn it into actionable statements?
... highlighting BP1's "3.1 One Web" statement
... hints relationship betweem mobile-desktop-other screens
Sunghan: this BP1 paragraph highlights mobile-desktop relationship.
BP2 could go further and consider more user interfaces.
Jo: need to constrain ourselves to mobile, eg we're not inventing
new sync techniques
... can we action Sunghan to develop some actionable statements?
Bryan: eg "these views should synchronise in as timely a manner as
possible..."
<jo> ACTION: seunyung to provide some example BP statements based on
the presentation he gave at Korea F2F [recorded in
[74]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action05]
<trackbot-ng> Sorry, couldn't find user - seunyung

statements based on the presentation he gave at Korea F2F [on
Sunghan Kim - due 2008-03-11].
<Seungyun> Sunghan is not on the IRC
Dan: did we finish the discussion on URI protocol schemes yesterday?
<jo> ACTION: Dan to raise issue with Dave Raggett in UWA and see if
they will take forward from where we leave off [recorded in
[77]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action08]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-693 - Raise issue with Dave Raggett in
UWA and see if they will take forward from where we leave off [on
Daniel Appelquist - due 2008-03-11].
Bryan: yes, WRT tel: scheme BP2 doc is where we'll pick up now...
Jo: thanks Sunghan for the contribution
BP2 5.8.1 URI Schemes
Bryan: actionable statements like "include the phone number as text
in the link so you know who you're about to call"
Dan: and "use tel: or wtai: URI scheme as an easy way to make phone
calls"
Jo: my view is a 2-step process: (1) write it in our language and
then (2) express it in content-provider language
... so rather see it as a high-level statement for now
Dan: surely we can narrow it down right now?
Bryan: maybe I went too far to specific actionable statements in
this edit
... perhaps a generic statement plus some specific examples (eg
phone calls, send a message, ...)
<Zakim> DKA, you wanted to suggest "actionable information" as a
replacement for "things"
<chaals> ["Use links like mailto:, tel: etc to help users perform
relevant actions"]
<jo> "Remember that hyperlinks can be used to initiate device
specific actions"
<chaals> ["Use link types like... "]
Dan: suggest "actionable information" as a replacement for "things"
- we're not talking about hyperlinks that go somewhere else but
about links that pop-up some additional action
Bryan: I'll propose some text to tweak
<chaals> ["Use link types like mailto:, tel: etc to help users
perform relevant actions"]
Jo: sould go back to doc review now
Dan: are Jose's inputs incorporated?
Bryan: yes
BP2 inspiration from developer.apple.com iPhone tips
Jo: ok, remember ideas are not copyright but the text is.
<francois> [78]Apple iPhone resources and tools for developing web
apps
[78] http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html
Dan: advice about the viewport and aspect ratio is useful
Bryan: does Apple have IPR on this?
Chaals: we're not sure
Jo: caution is advisable but Apple's guidelines are public advice,
there's no license to sign
... would prefer not to have to go to Apple for permission to
publish BP2
Dan: advice about touch-screen might be useful
Rob: eg consider people will often use their thumbs, so "mouse"
pointing isn't accurate
Dan: how about "think windowless"?
Bryan: BP2 has a bullet list of presentation and interaction issues
that captures a lot of this
<JonathanJ> I think iphone's "windowsless" is good idea.
Bryan: we can expand that list with stuff from here
Jo: can we get more general or do we need specific actionalble
techniques?
... if Bryan's already got the bullet list we'll continue on that
line and see how it goes
Bryan: video encoding for bearer is relevant
Dan: and preparing alternatives in advance suitable for different
bearers
Jo: caveat that you might not know about bearer

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-bpwg/2008Mar/att-0003/mwi-200803-DDC-v1.0.doc
Jonathan: Proposal for ADC for BP2.
... DDC is minimal delivery context for Mobile Web.
... [Goes through DDC requirements]
... K-DDC is delivery context for K-MWBP.
... MW2F K-Mobile OK is similar to W3C Mobile OK.
... [Explains diagram that compares W3C and MW2F in the document]
... We are developing K Mobile Best Practices 1.5
<scribe> ...New advanced delivery context in Korea is KDDC 1.5
<scribe> ...New features were needed for KDDC
UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: [Describes table comparing DDC and KDDC 1.5]
... Some of the new features: HTML 4.01, EUC-KR, PNG, 50K max page
size, CSS 2.1, JavaScript 3, XHR, SSL, DOM stuff
DKA: We said before that we didn't want an ADC; doesn't mean that
this isn't useful. Still need to have an ADC in mind when creating
the new BPs.
... Reason we said we didn't want an ADC is we didn't want to open
ourselves up to criticism since it will become obsolete.
Rob: Is this DDC 1.5 finished?
Jonathan: is finished
Rob: BPWG can nod to one that already exists.
Jo: We have had a problem with the perception of the DDC. We could
have the same criticism of the ADC.
... Point of DDC is the minimum delivery context for reasonable
experience on the Web...Designed to avoid criticism.
... Omission of PNG was a mistake.
... If you know nothing else about the device, assume the DDC.
... BP1 also says exploit device characteristics.
... BP2 will explain how to exploit device capabilities.
... Each one of the BP2's will say if this feature exists, exploit
it in this way.
... DDC is not about a point in time, etc. BP2 doesn't need that
idea because you need to find out what the device is to exploit the
capabilities.
... What dependencies does the K BP1.5 have on the ADC?
DKA: What is in K BP 1.5 that goes beyond the BP 1.0 that we could
put in BP2 that would be based on the ADC?
... Are there BPs related to CSS 2 or JavaScript 3?
Jonathan: We need more advanced features.
<JonathanJ> Seungyun
Jo: The assumption of BP2 is that you know what the device is.
... You should have a way of find out what the capabilities of the
device are.
...Ex: for the tel: URI we will find out whether the device supports
it before using it.
... Wasn't an easy decision to drop ADC, but once it was done it
made sense.
Bryan: There is nothing in the DDC that says that HTTPS is not
supported.
... We have a DC context variability section in BP2.
Seungyun: Is there any relationship between DDC and BP2?
... Won't have ADC in future?
... What kind of DDC in BP2?
Jo: We haven't got consensus yet about whether we should update the
DDC for BP 2.0.
... Personal view is that we shouldn't update it.
...Exception: PNG could be added.
DKA: I don't think that BP2 is written in the context of the DDC. It
is all about knowing device capabilities.
... Do you have statements in the K BP 1.5 written in support of,
say, XHR?
... Is there something we can pull out of that doc and put into BP2?

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-696 - Summarise the U Helsinki masters
thesis on Mobile Ajax performance with a view to including some
aspects into BP 2 [on François Daoust - due 2008-03-11].
<DKA> [88]http://www.pavingways.com/frost-ajax-library
[88] http://www.pavingways.com/frost-ajax-library
DKA: Frost Ajax library is for constrained browsers. Javascript and
server side component that sends appropriate JS based on the type of
the device.
... Would be interesting in seeing if we could promote that idea.
... Developer has been active creating comments although not a group
member.
Bryan: Is there a summary report on this activity?
DKA: Someone needs to summarize what can be pulled from this library
for use by BP2?
... This pattern of using server side device detection combined with
a modular JS library...need to determine if this could be a useful
technique in BP2.
<JonathanJ> Summarize article:

erformance

http://ajaxian.com/archives/measuring-the-state-of-mobile-ajax-performance
Bryan: They have some detailed information that has been put into
WURFL and they use that to select JS?
Martin: ... We use a similar technique to determine which JS to send
to the device.
Bryan: Does this use a test to find out the JS capabilities?
DKA: No, just uses the type of the device.
Jo: Runs an automated test on the browser.
... It's run once; don't need to do it every time.
DKA: Sounds even more relevant--we could document what those tests
are. We could say use this script to find the characteristics.
Chaals: This is a very simple test. It does 3 tests. Not sure how
much time it is worth looking at this.
<chaals> [whee! Opera Mini passes all its tests :) ]
Jo: Agree with Chaals. We should have something about level of
support and simple tests. Need to capture that it is a best practice
to do this.
Bryan: We already have a placeholder for this. Have a section on JS
reflection.
Jo: The second point is to customize the download of the JS based on
the device.
DKA: I think there is still an action here.
<jo> ACTION: Dan to summarize the points he can glean from
examination of the frost library [recorded in

Back to ADC
Jo: agenda is to talk about mobileOK, but before that, I'd like to
come back to Jonathan's input on ADC
... The thing is we need to update DDC for BP2
... for instance, support for PNG may be assumed
... The suggestion is BP2 contains a revised version of DDC and
reviewed BPs of BP1
Bryan: The presence of DDC without saying that it does not limit the
best practices of BP2 might lead to confusion
Jo: Yes, we need to be clear that it's the minimal delivery context,
not the target but the baseline
... If you know nothing about the target, then assume (revised) DDC
... Other than PNG, I don't really think DDC needs changing
... I'll raise an issue on that
<jo> ACTION: JR to raise issue of revising DDC and to raise
discussion of the revised definition being retroactive to BP1
[recorded in
[92]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action13]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-698 - Raise issue of revising DDC and
to raise discussion of the revised definition being retroactive to
BP1 [on Jo Rabin - due 2008-03-11].
Jo: In the light of discussion, it occurred to me that there is a
set of properties that you need to rely on when reading and writing
the BP2 doc
... I think it's useful to list these DDR properties
<jo> ACTION: Bryan to insert an Appendix listing the Device
properties that BP2 is dependent upon [recorded in
[93]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action14]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-699 - Insert an Appendix listing the
Device properties that BP2 is dependent upon [on Bryan Sullivan -
due 2008-03-11].
Jo: Also, I think it's clear we don't need an ADC, but what would be
great is to have a list of tiers/classes
... so that when you develop an application, you may target these
different classes
... It seems that this is established practice. I've heard people
saying "I have 4-5 classes"
DKA: yes, I'm interested to see where that goes
Jo: I'm hoping that having a best practice around specification in
that way addresses concern from persons such as Jonathan
Bryan: to summarize, you would recommend to have a BP to recommend
classification, but not list the definition of the classes, right?
Jo: yes
<jo> ACTION: Bryan to introduce a BP on classification of devices
into High, Mid, Low etc on a per application basis - with an
extended non-normative example, pethaps [recorded in
[94]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action15]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-700 - Introduce a BP on classification
of devices into High, Mid, Low etc on a per application basis - with
an extended non-normative example, pethaps [on Bryan Sullivan - due
2008-03-11].
couple questions about BP2
Bryan: I don't have yet any inputs on:
1. toolkit developers may use
scribe: we'll have to address the impact of toolkits
2. how are we going to address the techniques and practices for
non-browser applications
Jo: I don't think we need to talk about the execution environment
... the environment is not especially relevant to mention
mobileOK scheme
Jo: who knows what it is?
Audience: [smiles]
Bryan: There will be a public value to know that a site is mobileOK,
and so we should find a way to mark pages as presumably mobileOK
Dan: mobileOK Scheme is the name we gave to a set of documents, and
encompasses mobileOK, tests, the checker
Jo: plus it's a set of usage rules
... we have failed, as a group, to make a start on the doc
... We really have to do something for this in my view.
... What does the teams think?
... Do we need a mobileOK scheme document?
... Do we need another doc that says how to use mobileOK, which icon
to use, when to use it, ...?
Dan: Yes, we need it, otherwise mobileOK won't be used in public
chaals: Does it need to be a TR doc though?
Dan: no, it doesn't.
Seungyun: from a Korean's perspective, we really need that scheme.
... We hope W3C will address that doc
Jo: the basic problem is we don't have an editor for the doc.
... and so without editor, no doc.
... resolution to find an editor for the doc!

<DKA> +1

<Seungyun> +1
<jo> RESOLUTION: Chaals to edit mobileOK scheme document
Jo: I think we should cover a basic content list here and let you
work on this.
chaals: I believe there is a working draft
<chaals> [95]source for inspiration
[95] http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-mobileOK-20060712/
Jo: If I remember correctly, this is the pre-split version
... what can we extract from this?
chaals: what is mobileOK
... how does mobileOK relate to best practices?
Jo: where do I find license info
... it also needs to discuss the checker
... there needs to be some fairly tight wording in here
... it needs to discuss that the checker is non normative although
it is a ref implementation
... it should answer the trustmark question
... dom has an on-going action to check with legal team
Dan: I think there should be a kind of usage scenario for content
providers for instance
chaals: yes. How does mobileOK relate to me?
Jo: right. What are the benefits.
<jo> ACTION: Dan to write a usage scenario for mobileOK scheme
[recorded in
[96]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action16]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-701 - Write a usage scenario for
mobileOK scheme [on Daniel Appelquist - due 2008-03-11].
Jo: when do you think you can have a first editor's draft?
chaals: [thinking hard]. Not tonight. Not tomorrow.
Jo: by next Thursday?
chaals: OK
<jo> ACTION: chaals to produce first editors draft of mobileOK
scheme in 1 week [recorded in
[97]http://www.w3.org/2008/03/04-bpwg-minutes.html#action17]
<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-702 - Produce first editors draft of
mobileOK scheme in 1 week [on Charles McCathieNevile - due
2008-03-11].
Dan: is there another issue that we should take on upon which is
about mobileOK Pro and mobileOK Basic
... whether or not mobileOK is synonym to mobileOK Basic
chaals: I would say over my dead body. But that is too easy to
arrange
... I think it would be a shame
... I'm not sure it's worth discussing. It will be associated with
whatever people use most.
Jo: Are mobileOK usage rules packed with scheme?
chaals: the scheme should document them, but I don't think it's up
to me to write them
Jo: what I think is worth discussing: we have a fundamental decision
to make as to whether it's going to be meaningful as a trustmark or
just a wishful label
chaals: the HTML label is slightly more reliable than the WCAG
label, which is just a joke in the sense that there is no way to
check conformance automatically
... in the last century, W3C had a system where you could report
abuse of trustmarks
... It stops to be a trustmark, and starts to be a badge that you
may wear anywhere
... Two possibilities: W3C sets precise rules and tries to enforce
the use of the trustmark
... or not
... These are considered issues beyond the scope of the working
group
... We should basically say: this is what we're thinking, these are
some ways to ensure the trustmark is used correctly, and have
copyright rules to ensure that it has to be removed when rules are
not followed
Bryan: Trust is something that is based somehow on intent, and there
needs to be some recognition of the good will.
... It's never going to be 100% followed
... we need to be more flexible
<Zakim> DKA, you wanted to ask about usage rules for K-MobileOK.
Dan: I would like to ask Jonathan or Seungyun what usage rules were
developed with K-MobileOK
... do you have a set of rules as to when people can claim they are
mobileOK?
Seungyun: so far, we don't have specific rules for K-mobileOK
... because we're waiting for W3C!
... We need some explicit rules from W3C in order to deploy that in
Korea. We only have some requirements for the moment.
Dan: It sounds to me that there is an aspiration for a mobileOK
button.
Jo: I really like this idea. We might even resolve on that.
... One of the things that I think is important: mobileOK means "you
want to be mobile friendly" as Bryan crystalized correctly before
<jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: There will be an aspirational level
represented by a badge of mobileOK called "mobileOK Checked" that
links to validator/mobile with default URI of referringpage
<jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: There will be an aspirational badge for
mobileOK called "mobileOK Checked" that links to validator/mobile
with default URI of referring page
<rob> +1
<DKA> +1
<jo> RESOLUTION: There will be an aspirational badge for mobileOK
called "mobileOK Checked" that links to validator/mobile with
default URI of referring page
<JonathanJ> this is a mobileok test page in Korea :
[98]http://test.mobileok.or.kr/
[98] http://test.mobileok.or.kr/
Jo: next point is the distinction between the claim of the trustmark
and the use of the visual representation
... previous discussion said that the label was the claim
... and the visual representation is just informal
... from a technical point of view, it's important. From the
appelquistian simple point of view, it's too complex
chaals: we should accept the fact that putting the badge is actually
claiming that you are mobileOK.
... I would suggest that we can do is that when you have a badge,
then you have to link it to a POWDER claim.
... so if I get to the badge and cannot find the POWDER claim, then
you're breaking the rules.
Jo: Again, back to the point about the fact that the visual
representation may appear on content that is not mobileOK because of
thematic consistency
francois: too complex?
chaals: if you want to claim something is mobileOK, then you need to
have a POWDER claim
... if you put a badge in your page, you need to link it to the
POWDER claim
... should the badge link directly to the POWDER doc? Quite possibly
not, because that's not really useful from a browser's point of
view.
... so maybe it's linking to a page that contains a link to the
POWDER statement.
... If you serve 400000 pages adapted to delivery contexts that are
not DDC and not mobileOK but deliver mobileOK pages to DDC, there's
no reason why you can't add the mobileOK badge to all of your pages.

<trackbot-ng> ISSUE-222 -- TAG Finding on Alternative
Representations -- OPEN
<trackbot-ng>
[127]http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/222

Jo: this is talking about alternative representations; there is a
can of worms to be opened here. The suggestions shown are
interesting and we can adopt them as BPs, but
... the problem is that no one does this, except for some specific
examples.
... as an initial step we can make recommendations, e.g. based upon
proposed texton the list from last year.

Jo: i.e. since there are so many optional representations, using
distinct URI schemes seems impractical.
... other points were made in the email, e.g. re 2.1.1 point 5 in
the TAG finding, the reason it is problematic is while it talks
about HTML, we are interested in more than HTML, e.g.
... Images and links for them.
... re redirection, we are averse to redirection but may consider
the 300 response as a way to do it, e.g. as discussed in RFC
2295/2296.
... redirection is generally to be avoided since mobile sites don't
have static versions of their resources.
... re point E, its hard to know whether a URI points to a specific
representation or a resource with multiple representations. The
linkages that are suggested require that there be a way to
distinguish this.
... CT TF needs to consider resources linked as described here.
Google has mentioned this as a recommended practice.
... The question is what do we expect from TAG in response to our
note.
Dan: they could help us solve the problem.
Jo: they may ask us what is our answer instead
Dan: we already have some answers in the CT guidelines doc
Jo: we have enough to do already without invoking a discussion with
TAG that might not bear fruit.
Dan: if we issue a document that contradicts we will get comments
Francois: Jo's points are valid, and we should give them to the TAG.
... initial feeling is that we are both wrong, content adaptation in
the future will not be solved by HTTP links for alternate
representations
... the negotiation will be more complex than supported by the link
approach
Jo: from our likely recommendation that POWDER be used to describe
resources, we need a link header for that purpose, and the meta
information there would be helpful for CT
Francois: they could say that the web page returned (the ML) will
address the appropriate links to available representations
Jo: will draft a note around these 5 points for review and to
initiate a dialog with TAG
... will do this in the next couple of weeks

Issue-223?
<trackbot-ng> ISSUE-223 -- Various Items to Consider for the CT
Guidelines -- OPEN

[130] http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/issues/223
Jo: for the shopping list, we may be able to avoid the issue through
the indirect intentions being expressed through T&C's, that the CP's
intent should be respected, but
... since our job is to promote mobile web awareness, we should
assume that CP's intend to provide the mobile representation. But
the user may express a preference for the desktop
... version by using a user-agent switcher or via other means.
Dan: since you can't do all desktop things on the mobile site, a
user may want to use the deskop for those missing things
Jo: although we never said it, we implied that its a good idea to
match the user's context but they should allow a return to desktop
view since they may have misunderstood the context.
... So we should say that CP's should provide a desktop view, and
give the choice to the user.
... user's preferences may normally be overridden because the CP
knows better, but the user can effect an higher priority override
when desired
... we need also to put a placeholder in BP2 that CP's should make
assumptions but should allow users to override the assumptions
Francois: Aaron's contribution goes in that direction, e.g. user
priority should be given
Sean: in other areas there are some precedents, e.g. CSS, where the
CP stylesheet normally overrides the user, but the user can
ultimately overrride the CP
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: In matters of presentation, Content
Providers' preference should take preference over user's preference,
but user should be able to exert a high-priority override over the
content provider's prefernece if desired.
Jo: that is a good example, and we could reference it
<francois> +1
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in
matters of presentation, Content Providers' preference should take
preference over user's preference, but user should be able to exert
a high-priority override over the content provider's prefernece if
desired.

<DKA> RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in matters
of presentation, the Content Provider's preference should take
preference over user's preference, but user should be able to exert
a high-priority override over the content provider's prefernece if
desired.
Jo: on point 2, how should the user signal their choices, they
can't. A new HTTP header is required, or an application artifact
needs to be created.
... the question is thus out of scope since it's new technology
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: the
question of how the user signals their choice is out of scope.
Bryan: so we can also add a statement that the user should be given
an option at the application layer, a link to switch modes
<DKA> RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: the question
of how the user signals their choice is out of scope as a signaling
question, but in scope as an application or user interaction
question and we recommend that both CT Proxies and origin servers
provide user interactions to effect this.
Jo: re issue 3, this is done, we have resolved that they should
present original headers
... on point 4, this is all out of scope, as an area for product
differentiation
... on point 5, we have a workable compromise but need to express it
clearly
Francois: this links back to the "dangerous" question
Jo: the answer is multipart; first, user choice if only thru T&C's;
there may also be apparently malformed content that is required,
e.g. for non-browsers.
Dan: is the question here that we need two shades of transform
control
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: lksakllkasd
Jo: that is addressed through the inclusion of a POWDER declaration
identifying the intent
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in
the matter of overriding no-transform... a. it's a user choice
(which may be delegated to a service provider) b. with appropriate
CT detection of non-browsers apparantly malformed content will be
left alone.

<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in
the matter of overriding "no-transform but tidy allowed"... we're
waiting for POWDER.
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in
the matter of overriding "no-transform but tidy allowed"... the
content provider preferences will be expressed via POWDER.
<jo> +1
<DKA> RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: in the
matter of overriding "no-transform but tidy allowed"... the content
provider preferences will be expressed via POWDER.
Jo: re point 6, BPWG says content should be tested, but this can't
be claimed without testing via CT proxies. Even with test houses, it
would be helpful to provide a more realizable means for CP's to
comply.
... the facilities should be provided by proxy operators.
Chaals: Opera Mini provides an onine tool to verify how something
will work thru Opera Mini.
Jo: suggests Operators of CT proxies should provide test facilities.
Bryan: and not CT product providers?
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Operators of content transforming proxies
should provide test facilities for the benefit of content providers.
Dan: the proxies are setup per the business rules of the CT proxy
operator.
Martin: believes this makes sense in some cases, for customized
products it may not be practical for CP's to test thru all CT proxy
operators.
Chaals: unconvinced that this has a place in the CT spec
<DKA> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document:
Operators of content transforming proxies should provide test
facilities for the benefit of content providers.
Jo: we can't say that you must test without giving a means or
directions how to do it
<jo> +1
<francois> +1
<DKA> RESOLUTION: Regarding the CT Guidelines document: Operators of
content transforming proxies should provide test facilities for the
benefit of content providers.
