Network Service Discovery

Updated draft, https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/dap/raw-file/default/discovery-api/Overview.html

fjh: Rich summarized Mitigating router compromise, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2013Oct/0152.html
... proposed text for ISSUE-130, as part of ACTION-654: Propose text for network service discovery to define wildcard api and feature detection ; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2013Oct/0157.html (Jean-Claude)

cathy: jean-claude enables wild card search, a good idea
... independent of the other discussion
... other discussion is to support UPnP devices rather than at service level

… initially I proposed adding search string for UPnP device type

… but we might want to change data model to device model, support UPnP devices naturally, problem is that in mDns there is no device concept

fjh: not sure it makes sense to create a dummy model when abstracting to obtain uniformity

cathy: works if we make device for each service in mdns, thus we can achieve device level for UPnP naturally, but also have it work for others

… need opinion from Rich for this

fjh: looks like we are near reaching a conclusion and consensus
... i would like to schedule a security review with WebAppSec and also a privacy review with PING but am waiting until the specification stabiliizes

… this change wouldn't be ready for TPAC (and WebAppSec is not meeting then anyway)

… so once we get the data model updated then I think we can start reviews

cathy: this should be a fairly big change

fjh: we have a scheduled slot for the privacy review in January with PING so it would be good to get these changes done in November if possible
... no more to discuss, need feedback from Rich

Proximity, Light Test update

no new information

Note publication

Updated CfC (ended 29 Oct): http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2013Oct/0130.html

fjh: we had agreement on call, no disagreement on list
... The CfC has concluded successfully so we can make these changes
