New Surveys this week

   Sam: none

Testing Task Force Report

   Kris: been pretty quiet. no meeting since last time. next meeting on
   11th.
   ... we had the January 3, for Philipp Taylor's tests.

   Kris: consensus on vast majority of those tests
   ... probably 30+ tests with possible issues
   ... so by next reports, we'll have over a thousand tests

Accessibility Task Force

   Janina: had our first meeting of the year one hour ago.
   ... a number of issues have been discussed in the 48 hours
   ... otherwise not much
   ... we forwarded our gap analysis to public-html
   ... some discussion there, with need to do some tweaks to the
   document

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

   <trackbot> [23]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/131

     [23] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/131

   Sam: issue-131? issue-152?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-152 -- Handling of additional tracks of a
   multitrack audio/video resource -- raised

   <trackbot> [24]http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/152

     [24] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/152

   Sam: both issues are likely to go out for call for proposals

   Janina: ok. some issues might be pushed into the audio wg
   ... so that would take some pressure off HTML5
   ... for caret, I think we're on track

   Sam: ok, it would mean change proposal ready within 6 weeks

Other Business

   Julian: I was wondering why the editor's draft on the w3c site
   states November 16.
   ... and why are will having a warning message on the editor's draft?

   Sam: for the warning, will be removed once we have the next pub
   cycle

   Julian: then what about the edits that are now differing?

   Julian: I don't have details though

   <MikeSmith> [25]http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec/

     [25] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec/

   Mike: the only difference is the date. if you look at the cvs
   history, it's been updated 17 hours ago
   ... we occured some problems on the multi-page version. still
   looking at fixing them.
   ... i stopped the automatic update and need to run it manually
   ... Hixie never switched it back to editors' config. that also
   explain the warning
   ... the two versions are up to date with each other
   ... modulo the multipage split build

   Sam: last time this happened, the changes done by Hixie were not
   part of the w3c version.

   Julian: looks like I got confused indeed.

   Mike: our editorial pipeline is fragile and has been broken lately
   ... but we're still in good shape overall. the date will not change
   until we switch back to editor's mode
   ... we're on schedule to get everything published by the 13th

   Julian: the html5 validator accepts things that are only part of the
   what wg. Henri pointed out that it's missing a config option.
   However w3c is replicating the validator.

   Mike: this seems out of scope for the working group

   plh: but it would be better for w3c to follow its own spec...

   Sam: is there a bug number?

   <Julian> [26]http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11654

     [26] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11654

   <pimpbot> 1111654: julian.reschke, P2, NEW, 13HTML5 validator
   accepts the ping attribute on <a>

   Mike: I'm aware of the issue and it's not the only one. I don't
   think it's a real problem at the moment
   ... we're not claiming it reflects the consensus of the wg anyway
   ... we're not following the pub cycles of the wg
   ... the validator is not a work product of the wg

   Sam: I'd like to review how it is advertised then.
   ... January 22 is the cutoff for escalating bugs for pre-LC
   consideration
