    [2:27pm] Zakim: shepazu, I see IA_WebAPI(DOM3)2:30PM in the schedule
    but not yet started. Perhaps you mean "this will be DOM3".
    [2:27pm] shepazu: sigh
    [2:27pm] shepazu: Zakim, this will be DOM3
    [2:27pm] Zakim: ok, shepazu; I see IA_WebAPI(DOM3)2:30PM scheduled

    [2:38pm] aemmons: ScribeNick: aemmons
    [2:38pm] aemmons: Chair: Doug Schepers
    [2:38pm] aemmons: Topic: Introduction meeting
    [2:38pm] aemmons: DS: Introducing Andrew Emmons
    [2:39pm] aemmons: DS: Known for some time
    [2:39pm] aemmons: DS: Motivated to get DOM3 Events published
    [2:39pm] aemmons: DS: Anticipate that it is largely done
    [2:39pm] aemmons: DS: Goal of meetings to establish what is left to
    be done
    [2:39pm] aemmons: DS: Find out what is implemeted
    [2:40pm] aemmons: DS: Find out what is different than what is
    implemented
    [2:40pm] aemmons: DS: I would like to see spec as CR in 4-6 months
    [2:40pm] aemmons: DS: CR is when you need a good test suite
    [2:41pm] Lachy joined the chat room.
    [2:41pm] Lachy left the chat room. (Quit: Leaving)
    [2:41pm] aemmons: DS: Andrew Emmons is from BitFlash
    [2:41pm] Lachy joined the chat room.
    [2:41pm] aemmons: DS: Implements SVGT 1.2 and thus DOM 3 Events
    [2:42pm] aemmons: DS: Anne works for Opera, well informed regarding
    DOM 3 Events
    [2:42pm] aemmons: DS: I work for W3C, staff contact for WebAPI
    [2:43pm] aemmons: DS: Carmelo works for NIST
    [2:43pm] aemmons: DS: Has done some DOM testing in the past
    [2:44pm] aemmons: CM: Will DOM LEvel 3 Events be using the same
    framework as DOM LEvel 2 Events?
    [2:44pm] aemmons: CM: I was looking at the previous frameworks
    [2:44pm] aemmons: DS: W3C specifications do implementability testing
    [2:44pm] aemmons: DS: No focus on interopability
    [2:45pm] aemmons: DS: There has been a new focus to have
    interopability between implementations
    [2:45pm] • anne has to go in ~15 min for a WAF meeting
    [2:45pm] aemmons: DS: Want to make sure the DOM3 Events Test suite
    has a focus for interopability
    [2:46pm] aemmons: DS: Worth our time on how to setup the testing
    framework
    [2:47pm] aemmons: CM: I could not find a DOM Level 2 events test
    suite
    [2:47pm] aemmons: DS: I do not think one exists
    [2:47pm] aemmons: CM: How wass this tested in the past?
    [2:47pm] aemmons: DS: Not sure
    [2:47pm] aemmons: CM: How did it become a Recommendation
    [2:48pm] aemmons: Av: The requirements were more loose at that time
    [2:48pm] aemmons: CM: Should we have tests for DOM Level 2 Events?
    [2:48pm] aemmons: DS: May be useful, where there is overlap
    [2:50pm] aemmons: DS: My goal is to get the spec out with features
    that are compatible or easy to do with existing browsers
    [2:50pm] aemmons: DS: Implementations do somehting that is akin to
    DOM Level 3 events
    [2:50pm] aemmons: DS: The feedback I want to get is from Opera,
    Mozillia, IE and WebKit
    [2:51pm] aemmons: DS: And SVG user agents
    [2:51pm] aemmons: DS: Step 1 is to have a careful review by all
    browser venders
    [2:52pm] aemmons: DS: The reason DOM Events stalled, at that time
    implementers will not implementing
    [2:53pm] aemmons: DS: Need to have buy-in from venders
    [2:53pm] aemmons: Av: The biggest problem is that it requires
    namespaces on events
    [2:53pm] aemmons: Av: I do not think people are implementing the
    namespacing
    [2:54pm] aemmons: DS: I am sure Microsoft will be involved in this
    process
    [2:54pm] aemmons: DS: I understand that there are people who dislike
    namespaces,
    [2:55pm] aemmons: DS: I am not sure it is a blocker for the spec
    [2:55pm] aemmons: Av: It is the think we do not see people
    implementing
    [2:55pm] aemmons: Av: It does not make sense for us to ship it if
    others do not as well
    [2:56pm] aemmons: DS: Another thing is - do authors want this?
    [2:56pm] aemmons: Av: Poeple hardly use namespaced elements, which
    have been around a long time
    [2:57pm] aemmons: AE: We've found them useful for content that uses
    CustomEvent
    [2:58pm] aemmons: DS: We need to make sure the spec is consistent
    and in publishable form
    [2:58pm] aemmons: DS: Good test suite
    [2:58pm] aemmons: DS: And that Key Events are acceptable for all the
    vendors
    [2:59pm] aemmons: AE: Moving forward, I need to know what
    resolutions have been made by the group that have not been captured
    i the spec
    [2:59pm] aemmons: Av: We have an issue tracker

    [3:05pm] aemmons: DS: Because most people doing web content, our
    focus should be ECAMScript for testing
    [3:05pm] Zakim: -anne
    [3:06pm] aemmons: AE: Sounds good
    [3:06pm] aemmons: CM: Sounds good
    [3:07pm] aemmons: DS: Focusing on one issue and moving forward
    should be a great way forward

    [3:09pm] aemmons: DS: All of our technical discussions are done on
    the public WebAPI mailing list
    [3:11pm] aemmons: DS: Let's start with this double-click issue and
    move forward
    [3:12pm] aemmons: DS: No telcon next week, due to SVG F2F
    [3:12pm] aemmons: DS: I would love if we could be very agressive
    regarding this spec
    [3:12pm] aemmons: DS: Get feedback, spec updated, etc
    [3:13pm] aemmons: DS: Would go a long way in giving credibility
    [3:13pm] aemmons: DS: And if we could have a test as well that would
    be great
    [3:15pm] aemmons: DS: Would be good to have the tests transformable
    from HTML to SVG
    [3:17pm] aemmons: ACTION: AndrewE to summarize issues regarding
    double-click events and bring it up with the group
