tracking-ISSUE-102: Short names & titles of specifications [Tracking Definitions and Compliance] http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/102 Raised by: Aleecia McDonald On product: Tracking Definitions and Compliance As per email from Karl (below for ease of finding again) there was discussion of changing names for specifications. In the end there is not enough interest / consensus on new names to support moving forward in the limited time left before asking to transition the FPWDs, with several people in favor of keeping the names as is. We may wish to revisit at our next f2f, or a bit before, so we are clear for the first Last Call document. --- Email from Karl Dubost, 8 Nov 2011: Currently the name of the Editor drafts for the specifications are # Tracking Definitions specification Current Title: Tracking Compliance and Scope Specification shortname: tracking-compliance Suggested Title: Tracking Concepts and Definitions Specification shortname: tracking-definition # Tracking HTTP headers specification Current Title: Tracking Preference Expression (DNT) shortname: tracking-dnt Suggested Title: Tracking Syntax specification shortname: tracking-syntax # Rationales * The conformance (or compliance as currently mentioned in the specifications) will happen in the two specifications. There will be MUST, SHOULD, etc keywords in both. Both specification will have conformance sections. One about syntax formalism, the other about respecting the header. * Conformance is usually the term used at W3C for compliance. It has a precise meaning. I intend to make a review of both specs. See http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/ http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/actions/26 * `tracking-dnt` makes the short name dependent on the header syntax. We might change our opinions about it in the future and choose another keyword for a reason or another. I would encourage to use the word syntax instead, because it is what we are defining in that specification.
