Minutes P3P User Agent Task Force Call 30 June 2003 Present Jeff Brooks Ari Jeremy Rigo Lorrie We discussed and resolved the remaining two flagged items on our translation matrix: the category heading and the state category. Category heading. We decided to adopt the proposed wording: "Types of information that may be collected." During this discussion we discussed the problem that some user agents do not enumerate all the data elements that a site lists in their policy. Some felt we should encourage sites to always enumerate all data elements, but others objected that this may lead to lengthy translations. We decided to recommend that all elements be enumerated somewhere, but not necessarily in the default view. We will append the following words to bullet point 1 of 6.1 (the user agent guidelines): "including an enumeration of all data elements referenced in a P3P policy." State. We decided to adopt the wording "Cookies and mechanisms that perform similar functions" We also discussed the question raised previously about whether to continue to allow multiple instances of data elements within the ENTITY element. Although some members of the group would like to see multiple ENTITY elements allowed in the future, adding this now is not going to be clean (and some are still skeptical it is needed). We decided instead to add the following language to section 3.2.4 of the spec: "Although it is permissable for a particular DATA element to appear more than once within a single ENTITY element, this is not recommended as user agents may not display multiple instances of a DATA element correctly. Policy writers who wish to indicate multiple points of contact for customer service at a web site should use the DISPUTES element, which is designed to have multiple instances." (this needs to be approved by the full WG) Lorrie will post a revised matrix at http://www.w3.org/P3P/2003/p3p-translation.htm later today and Jeremy and Rigo will assist in trying to fix the HTML problems.
