    Shaun: can you hear us?
    ... Wrote an email to a list with a safe subset of regex
    character classes. It is smaller in features than anticipated,
    but for six engines, that is what it wa.
    ... When we last spoke, I'm not sure what the decision was.

    Arle: No decision taken in Prague.

>FS: question: does anyone object against Shaun's regex at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2013Jan/0180.html
if not, we can move forward to the next step (defining the regex to validate it) and be done.

    Shaun: I will continue and try to write a portable regular
    expression to describe the portable regular expression. We
    don't want to accidentally use a feature in some engine.

    Arle: We will have to go to another last call anyway, so we can
    continue.

>FS: sorry, Arle, but this is not yet settled. Please don't take another LC for absolutely needed yet.

  issue-74?

    <trackbot> ISSUE-74 -- Comment on ITS 2.0 WD-its20-20121206 -
    Section 1.1 (Relation to ITS 1.0 and New Principles) -- open

    sues/74

      [17] http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/74

    Christian: Before moving on, I haven't checked on the
    connection between canonical XML, Unicode normalization, and
    regular expression.

    Shaun: In general, regex is a mess with respect to Unicode
    normalization.
    ..Example: E + combining acute, if U+00E9 matches is up to the
    regex engine and whether it handles normalization.
    ... It is a huge mess. I would strongly recommend that people
    normalize their Unicode.

    Christian: This is good information. Makes a stronger case for
    Unicode normalization.

    Shaun: Would normally recommend normalization at every step. If
    there are chains where people don't do this, perhaps they have
    reasons. So I don't know if we say we MUST normalize, or if it
    is best practice.
    ... I would like to hear from people who make non-normalized
    Unicode. I don't know who they are and if there are problems.

    <scribe> ACTION: Shaun to draft text explaining importance of
    Unicode normalization and best practices on ISSUE-67 [recorded
    in
    [18]http://www.w3.org/2013/01/28-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-430 - Draft text explaining
    importance of Unicode normalization and best practices on
    ISSUE-67 [on Shaun McCance - due 2013-02-04].

>FS: Christian, would such a BP note also help with your concerns about the NIF conversion? See your comment 3a at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2013Jan/0101.html
in that you mail "have to consider". But you don't say "require", "make a testable assertation", "provide tests" etc. Can you clarify whether a note would be sufficent?
Also as a reply to issue-85, 3b: if your answer to my question is "require", "make a testable assertation": why? We of course won't to be good citiczens with regards to normalization, but why require more than XQuery, XPath, HTML5, SPARQL ...?


  Christian: Thanks, Shaun for doing that.

    Karl: Should be only a note, and not include a MUST. In the
    complete standard, we should tell people how to do things, not
    MUST.

    Arle: +1

    <fsasaki> +1 to karl

    <omstefanov> +1 to Karl, too, based on experience with UN
    legacy texts

      [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2013Jan/0143.html

    Christian: Thanks to Jörg for his summaries and shepherding.
    His summaries are good and adequate. So far we only have
    resolved two of the three issues.
    ... Only 2b has been resolved.

>FS: Christian, could you clarify your view on the discussion at the f2f, see
http://www.w3.org/2013/01/23-mlw-lt-minutes.html#item09
for comment 2a (MT consuemr information), I thought the f2f discussion would go into the direction of a note. Do you agree? If yes, would you be available to draft the note?

    <Marcis> I think it was mentioned that this should be in a best
    practice document

    Arle: We would suggest mappings, but not be mandatory.

    <chriLi>
    [30]http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#associating-its-with-existing-mar
    kup

      [30] http://www.w3.org/TR/its/#associating-its-with-existing-markup

    <Marcis> The mapping goes one way but not the other way

    Christian: Maybe this explanation could be in a similar place
    where we had it for ITS 1.0.

    Marcis: If I recall, we discussed that the definition element
    is a sub-category of term, since you need a definition in HTML
    content, and only then can you use <dfn>, so we left with the
    understanding that it is in best-practice and not in the
    normative section.

    Christian: Old section 5 was normative.

>FS: correct, and it still is: see http://www.w3.org/TR/its20/#associating-its-with-existing-markup . But the discussion at the f2f was not about the content of the old section 5. It was about whether rules specific to HTML should be normative.

  Arle: Question of prominence.

    <scribe> ACTION: Arle to discuss with Felix the best location
    for this mapping list on issue-81 [recorded in
    [31]http://www.w3.org/2013/01/28-mlw-lt-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-431 - Discuss with Felix the best
    location for this mapping list on issue-81 [on Arle Lommel -
    due 2013-02-04].


>FS: the best location is an a best practice document, see for XML
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-i18n-bp/#relating-its-plus-xhtml

  Christian: For ITS 1.0, we used "associating" with existing
    markup. May be clearer with mapping, to resolve issues of
    bidirectionally.

>FS: +1 to "associating" rather than "mapping".

  Arle: "Associating" is fine.

    Arle: Can't point to EN-15038. Out of scope. TS-11669 is more
    relevant, defines expectations about translation.
    ... Recommendation was to address quality in framework of
    TS-11669. That is be listed as an example of what the quality
    profile might point to, at a minimum.

    Christian: I still don't get the difference between metrics and
    expectations, metrics, etc.
    ... Explained some about it.
    ... I think it changes the semantics of the pointer. IF you use
    parameters instead of metric.

    Arle: Dave is taking care of this. We rejected most of them as

    Olaf-Michael: Does anyone in the WG have experience with Indic
    languages?

    Serge: We translate into those languages.

    <chriLi> Aside: We got input which possibly overlaps already

    Ankit: I have this experience. The issues they raise are valid,
    but as Dave replied, I agree.

    1.0.
