    <ChrisL> Hi folks

    <aemmons> Hi Chris!

    <ChrisL> I'm still sorting out a phone here (my regular phone line
    is out of order)

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-2098 - Check the test report generation

    [Discussion about organisation]

Two progressive rendering questions

    CM: It's really just a couple of questions to clarify things for me
    ... I was reading through the section for the script thing
    ... question is a bit long
    ... so I don't mind if people reply to that offline

    AE: I wouldn't mind some more time to go over that

    DS: Same

    CM: That's fine

Mistakes in the attribute index appendix (ISSUE-2005)

    CM: So I noticed there a number of incorrect entries in that
    ... I thought it was automatically generated

    CL: I think so

    CM: A couple of things that were confused because of the scripts
    that generated it
    ... minor mistakes

    CL: So I'd like a little bit of time to check this
    ... I suspect it's probably reasonable
    ... the reason I'm slightly hesitant is on font family I think it
    should have the value all
    ... and when I look at the proposed errata

    CM: That's what's actually published

    CL: So the ones on font face
    ... shouldn't they include the value all?

    CM: I copied those out of the DTD

    CL: I'd have to go over those before accepting them
    ... in general it looks good

    <scribe> ACTION: Chris to review the corrections to the mistakes in
    the attribute index and report back [recorded in
    [16]http://www.w3.org/2008/07/15-svg-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-2099 - Review the corrections to the
    mistakes in the attribute index and report back [on Chris Lilley -
    due 2008-07-22].

    CL: I'll see if I can get that done by next Tuesday

Testing animation of empty string values (ISSUE-2010)

    CM: Test has a semicolon at the end of a value for animation
    ... some implementations accept it
    ... Bitflash is one of them

    AE: Up until a few months ago we disallowed it
    ... but we got complaints
    ... that content was being generated with it like that

    CL: Having a semicolon at the end of the list is fine if it is
    always required
    ... is there are final blank entry
    ... and does it matter

    CM: I think this is an important thing to specify
    ... if there are going to be empty string
    ... so you can see I got varied results
    ... with empty string in the middle and at the end

    CL: If it doesn't introduce an ambiguity I'd be fine with changing
    it
    ... but if it does we need to think about it more

    ED: I'm wondering if it can escape string values
    ... or escape it somehow with like a backslash

    CM: So somethings are escaping for specific attribute types
    ... rather than a general escaping mechanism
    ... so there is a similar problem in there
    ... if you have a URL with a semicolon
    ... would have to percent escape it
    ... one thing you could say if you want an empty string is that
    ... you have a "#" there
    ... because it's the same
    ... or say there are two semicolons at the end
    ... and the last one is an optional termination

    AE: I'm happy with that
    ... have empty values
    ... with the last one ignored

    <scribe> ACTION: Cameron to reword the animation values such that a
    final semicolon is ignored [recorded in
    [18]http://www.w3.org/2008/07/15-svg-minutes.html#action03]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-2100 - Reword the animation values such
    that a final semicolon is ignored [on Cameron McCormack - due
    2008-07-22].

    DS: Are we changing something we use or are we changing something in
    SMIL?

    CM: We change what SMIL says but it will make us slightly divergent

    AE: Aren't there places like that already?
    ... I think we already have the wording in there for SMIL
    ... [Reads out spec]
    ... So in there we can say this is our SVG specif rule
