   <dom> ScribeNick: roland

   sean: agenda for today

Ruadhan, Jo status and test review

   Ruadhan: update xslt implementation google doc
   ... do we have a review process for the tests?
   ... actually no line numbers are reported
   ... and come back to CSS discussion

   srowen: if a test exist for a test, it is done

   dom: if you have done your test, somebody else have to test if this
   is done

   srowen: line number
   ... xerces and saxon discussion
   ... we can use best of both parsers, line numbers from saxon and
   xerces for the other stuff

   Ruadhan: (shows a result example) how to display the line numbers in
   the doc?

   srowen: this method is used in the CSS method
   ... walking through the tests and check where the position is needed

   actually we don't see a example, but it's work

   <srowen> TODO need to come up with working example for adding line
   number in XSL-based tests

   Ruadhan: if external elements like background images are used in the
   CSS
   ... but are not referenced in the document
   ... we do not have this add to the page test

   <dom> ... they'll get counted as part of the external resources

   jo: also a problem if as example: .body is overwritten by body.body

   srowen: we should mark this as a known issure

   <srowen> TODO track the CSS cascade issue as a known issue

   <dom> [9]Lobo: Java Web Browser "Lobo (previously known as Warrior)
   is an open source web browser that is written completely in Java. It
   is undergoing active development with the aim to fully support HTML
   4, Javascript and CSS2."

      [9] http://html.xamjwg.org/java-browser.jsp

   jo: discussing about CSS cascade and mobileOK doc
   ... CSS cascade handling is hard stuff

   srowen: we should note this as an issue

   ruadhan: (shows an example) background images that are defined but
   the class is not used are not loaded
   ... by Firefox

   srowen: another agenda item: Test for tests
   ... all tests are located in a separate directory
   ... you do not have to write source code for tests
   ... for each test are directories where the testcases are located
   ... the primary test document is 'index.xhtml'
   ... if you want additional headers, use 'index.xhtml.headers'
   ... runs on localhost:8888
   ... if you use other files in the doc, place them in this directory
   ... the only tools that you need is java and ant
   ... if you want to build it, simply run 'ant'
   ... if you want to run the test, run 'ant test'
   ... when the test fails, the expected result isn't correctly

   <srowen> TODO add ability to run one test at a time

   <srowen> one test test that is

   <dom> [generated URIs look like
   [10]http://localhost:8080/StyleSheetsUseTest/2/index.xhtml FWIW]

     [10] http://localhost:8080/StyleSheetsUseTest/2/index.xhtml

   srowen: thats it!

   dom: we need cross tests

   <dom> TODO: check that each warn/fail condition is minimally tested
   by our test suite

   srowen: test java code is located in a separate directory

   <srowen> TODO build a way save test run results as the golden test
   result

   jo: could you document, how to test?

   srowen: send it to the mailinglist, another todo

   dom: how to document the expected result?

   srowen: another todo

   <srowen> TODO add document mapping tests to description and
   coniditon tested

   all: good job (applause)

   - pause -

   jo: review where we are with external libraries
   ... jhove, utf-8 and other stuff

   srowen: working with the utf8 validation, returning line numbers

   abel: the css validation returns errors not in a exception

   srowen: we should display the errors from the third party library

   <abel> study about third parties error reporting
   -->[11]http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dhbw7zt7_0f8w6bq

     [11] http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dhbw7zt7_0f8w6bq

   jo: [discussion about using external libraries]
   ... libraries are written for production mode and not to analyze
   errors

   <srowen> think we are talking about 3 things:

   <jo> TODO write up lessons learned in some form

   <srowen> 1) bugs and faults in libraries that hurt us. actually I
   don't know that we were hit significantly by bugs

   <srowen> 2) libraries don't give much attention to error cases, and
   they are usually concerned with the non-error case (e.g. a generic
   exception is thrown if anything goes wrong). Not a fault in the
   general sense but yes a problem for us

   <srowen> I think we should file feature requests and so forth
   'formally' for projects that might usefully improve their support
   for tools

   <srowen> specifically should file bugs/requests against CSS
   validator

   <srowen> 3) finally i would like to see any of our outstanding
   to-dos or bugs tracked in tracker rather than only in a document so
   that they are live, publicly visible, trackable, assignable

   <srowen> ... but writing a doc in addition to all this never hurts
   too

   srowen: going back to the agenda
   ... using the tracker system
   ... resolving issues and track features and bugs
