The topic of the talk is "W3C Workshop on Identity in the Browser" http://www.w3.org/2011/identity-ws/ If it were a talk on Web and Tools we'd have a different introduction. > Today, excel posts an HTML rendering of it's reports upto websites. Presumably, this is not in scope, now. It's not a use case this group is interested in standardizing. You do jump to conclusions don't you? In a later e-mail you posted > ne has been able to saveAS to a webDAV server since windows XP! One used to map a drive letter to the remote site, and windows took care of using SMB or WebDAV. This went out of fashion, when WebDAV went out of fashion. Web standard come and go... SOAP is in SOAP is out. WebDav is in; tomorrow its out. RDF comes in and out. RSS for site maps didn’t really make it. I think WebDav is pretty good and would be a very good use case for WebID integration. So would Atom pub. We could mention those as a use case, given that microsoft will be in the crowd. > > Presumably, FTP clients doing ftps with certs with San Uris are also out of scope, as is the irc client (in opera) doing ssl client auth against commercial irc servers. Nothing is stoping people here to go to a big conference on ftp and give an ftp specific presentation :-) > > Since folk want 1 cert to be multiapp, validators can do a head operation on the uri, to see if it is webid capable ( looking at the mime type). If it's not, pass by that uri in the San uri list (for webid purposes). If it is, then consult the rdf for even finer grain metadata on the uri. > > Similarly, an ftps/irc server - without webid querying capabilities - can figure which https Uris in the San it can use (using non rdf-based de-referencing). > > > On Apr 11, 2011, at 2:12 PM, Henry Story <henry.story@bblfish.net> wrote: > >> Minutes are here: >> >> The meeting started off with us getting even more lost than usual in IRC magic.
