<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/103

<rubys> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2010Oct/0016.html

paulc: there is email discussion on the list

rubys: i responded on www-archive because it was more of a process question
Pending heart beat publications

paulc: Mike Smith is on the call, update?

MikeSmith: initially asked editors to put oct 12 on draft but didn't manage to get everything staged by that time
... next window is tuesday
... so asking editors to change date to next tuesday 19 oct
... we'll do that then
... i asked manu if there had been substantive updates to the RDFa draft - i don't think so so it might not be necessary to update it
... waiting to hear back from manu
... unless the chairs figure it is desirable to publish anyway

paulc: just looking at editor's draft, which is later than WD
... that implies some change

MikeSmith: think this might be just to revert it to ED and change previous publication date
... i.e. just the usual housekeeping but not making substantive changes

paulc: all of these documents cross-reference each other so if you leave it then it'll point to an old draft

MikeSmith: yeah, true
... i'll try to get a response from Manu - he may not have time so if i don't hear back i'll do the necessary updates

paulc: thanks for doing this

MikeSmith: i want to bring up one other issue - if you go to the latest version of the editor's draft of the spec

<MikeSmith> http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/

MikeSmith: there's a note at the bottom that is quite prominent that says it is an out of date document and points to the editor's draft as the latest version
... the intent is that this will appear only on the TR version
... it's just a tab that appears at the bottom of the browser window and the intent is that readers of the WD see that the ED has changes that are not reflected in the WD
... i think we should have a discussion about whether that should be there
... i don't think we've discussed this in the group and i think it's necessary to talk about before we publish

Julian: paul probably can't see it because maybe it doesn't work in IE

<Zakim> rubys, you wanted to ask about the updated status section

MikeSmith: that would be a problem too since it's not doing what it is intended

rubys: we want RDFa republished because of the changes to the intro text about where to file comments

Julian: wanted to make one technical suggestion

<paulc> ack +

Julian: think this is done with absolute CSS positioning and this slows down browsers even more than just the large document
... i understand that the point of the text is to make people go somewhere else

<paulc> The latest stable version of the editor's draft of this specification is always available on the W3C CVS server and in the WHATWG Subversion repository. The latest editor's working copy (which may contain unfinished text in the process of being prepared) contains the latest draft text of this specification (amongst others). For more details, please see the WHATWG FAQ

Julian: i don't know why we would publish a draft saying people should go somewhere else

paulc: the intro text already has this note
... not sure why we need more than this

MikeSmith: well we have had a problem with implementers referring to the WD when significant changes have been made to the ED

<paulc> But the text already says: "Implementors should be aware that this specification is not stable. "

MikeSmith: and this caused some implementers in some cases to be wasting time because they were using the WD instead of the ED

paulc: the paragraph already warns people about this

MikeSmith: i guess it is up to the chairs to decide what to do

paulc: i suggest we remove it from the WD and that you ask the editor to do that

rubys: i'm okay with that

MikeSmith: i'll do that

paulc: thanks!
Issue updates

ISSUE-9?

<trackbot> ISSUE-9 -- how accessibility works for <video> is unclear -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/9

paulc: we have the user requirements and requested spec changes in the agenda

<paulc> ACTION-187?

<trackbot> ACTION-187 -- Maciej Stachowiak to inform the group that no comments on issue-9 requirements means they will be accepted -- due 2010-10-21 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/actions/187

paulc: we want to make sure that if people didn't provide comments we take the requirements as accepted

janina: there is agreement via the e-mail list in the subteam for one specific addition
... from the open subtitles conference in NY
... we decided not to update for caption
... this was localised feedback and we need to be more international
... we wanted to add the example of ancilliary content that we stumbled across since it is html5
... specific for javascript that annotates video
... after that i don't think there is any impediment for closing on these
... the group is interested to understand when the spec language will be in
... we have a new law in the united states where if you broadcast something digitally and put it on the web you have to meet these requirements

paulc: we have the user requirements, they have been out since august, the TF wants to make one update

janina: i will have the update done by friday

paulc: and then on the spec additions you're saying they haven't been done and you'd like to know the schedule

janina: yes, exactly

paul: this was requested in september and there aren't any replies on the public archive
... the chairs will take an action to follow-up

<scribe> ACTION: paulc to check on the status of the request for spec additions related to the <track> element [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/14-html-wg-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-189 - Check on the status of the request for spec additions related to the <track> element [on Paul Cotton - due 2010-10-21].
Joint meeting with ECMA TC39

paulc: want to bring this to the attention of the group
... this is the follow-up to the joint meeting from Nov 2009
... it's great news that cameron has returned and has already started editing
... he will be attending
... it will be in the Bay area but the exact location hasn't been set yet
... we'll update when we hear
... would like to encourage people to attend if they can for this one day meeting
Task Force Reports - Accessibility Task Force

janina: all of the groups are moving forward in their areas
... i sat in on the aria mappings meeting and they are going through the remaining bugs
... we heard in the call today about the bugs requiring work
... not much to report - people still working on the current issues

paulc: are there any issues that the TF needs help with?

janina: not that i'm aware of
... there were questions about whether i had correctly represented the the canvas position correctly

paulc: is this about the survey for issue-74?

cyns: the question was about the survey went with only ian's counter proposal but not the original proposal
... janina reminded me we withdrew the original
... but ian's counter proposal was countering something that wasn't there
... we decided to postpone the change proposal until it is more mature
... wasn't sure if the plan was to deal with the counter-proposal

<paulc> http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issues-74-and-105-objection-poll/

rubys: this survey is different from the others that listed all the change proposals

<paulc> issue-131?

<trackbot> ISSUE-131 -- Should we add a caret location API to canvas, or is the focus API sufficient? -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/131

rubys: we broke out the individual items because the proposals overlap
... so for the first question - it gives the issue but then lists the change proposals that contribute to the question
... we did put out issue 131 that we'll deal with later

cyns: i guess my confusion is that item 4 looks like the counter proposal to issue 131

rubys: we should maybe consider deferring question 4 - i can see your point

paulc: i think sam's suggestion is that you should flag this issue on the public list and then the chairs will respond

cyns: i'll do that

paulc: if you do it quickly, you'll get a quick response
... anything else we need to discuss?
Task Force Reports - Testing Task Force

<krisk> October is turning out to be a busy month (22 posts to the list so far, most in a month was in june with 55 posts)

krisk: october is a busy month - we extended the meeting schedule
... it's the same time/ day of week/ etc

no meeting on 11/2 because of tpac

and no meeting on 12/28 because of the holidays

krisk: i'll be at tpac if people want to meet face to face
... we met on 10/5 and the next meeting is tuesday 10/19

<krisk> Notes -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-testsuite/2010Oct/0021.html

paulc: update on where we are on accepted tests and the queue?

krisk: we have 187 approved tests and no bugs
... we'll have getElementsByClassName and some canvas tests added next
... there is some dicussion about tests that cover multiple w3c specs
... vs normative requirements per the html5 spec
... the one case that sparked this discussion was combining svg with canvas
... the html5 doesn't have a normative requirement that canvas support svg
... would like to encourage vendors to update the xml for their conformance report

paulc: how many do you have?

krisk: we have the all the main ones but most of the vendors have new versions of their software and there are new tests

paulc: did the svg/canvas issue create a bug on the spec?

krisk: well, the spec doesn't specify any image formats today
... we could create a bug
... there are some things we have to assume like javascript
... but others we have to test and you could definitely test canvas without testing svg

paulc: so you're trying to understand the core

rubys: this will be controversial because we don't specify media codecs and this might open up that issue again

krisk: the thread ended really with the point that we don't need to make this a requirement
... but in future this kind of combination will be more common
... with svg it's an open spec, a recommendation

paulc: okay, any other comments?

krisk: no, that's it

paulc: any questions?
Other business

paulc: anyone want to discuss anything else?
Scribe for next meeting

paulc: sam will chair next week, paulc will scribe unless anyone else wants to
Adjournment

<Julian> bye

paulc: i'll adjourn the meeting then
