Agenda for Monday Feb 06, 9am Pacific

Hi Folks,

thanks a lot for the lively and productive discussion on the mailing list.
Below info for our call on monday.

BTW: Should we return to weekly calls?

Matthias


FINDINGS

- We seem to have found consensus that the Tracking Status resource
should remain at the well-known resource.
We should not allow content-owners to ship some TSR-like-information via
http-equiv.
The reason was that a TSR at a well-known resource allows to ensure that
the server owner is indeed part of the
DNT support. Please object if you disagree.


AGENDA

I propose to discuss the following topics next week:

-----------

0. Should we return to weekly calls?

--------------
1. Should we allow transmission of TK headers within http-equiv.

PRO reasons I heard:
- Convenient;
- May simplify dynamic generation of Tk info along with dynamically
generated content;
- If content includes tracking mechanisms, then the content can also
include Tk signal
CONTRA
- May lead to ambiguities (header vs. http-equiv info) [would require
conflict resolution]
- Tracking (unlike CSP) are not a content property. Thus attaching it
breaks the logics of server design
- Headers are easy to set for content-owners (once the server owner
enabled it).

-------

2. Implementation/Validation Strategy

To reach REQ state, we have to demonstrate implmentation and
interoperability.

Question: What is a viable strategy for us.

Proposals I have seen so far:
- Use the existing browser implementations; retrofit the spec
    PRO: No implementation effort
    CONTRA: Minimal spec that we can no longer change (since browser
changes are unlikely)
- Use one or more plugins (e.g. Badger and Mike's plugin) and a number
of sites.
    PRO: Allows us to evolve our spec
    CONTRA: Implementation effort; We have to double-check that this
meets the requirements of W3C.

--------

3. Should the Javascript API return promises ?

PRO
- Allows call-back
- More developer friendly; User-agent is notified once call is completed
CONTRA
- Changes the API
- Unclear what the meaning of the callback is.

-----

4. Do we want to change our exception model

Mike to explain what he suggests to change.
