Level

2) Re: ftf.

   IJ: If there are no objections to going to PR, we'll have 
       a face-to-face in New Jersey 10/11 April.

   Action IJ: Put up meeting page for ftf.

3) Ian summary of where we are in the PR process.

4) Review of list of changes:
   http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/wai-ua-wd-changes.html

   EH: Comments on word "automatic" in 2.3. Is this necessary?
       
   JG: My main concern is that people understand that the UA
       pauses itself.

   EH: Ok.

   HB: What about breaking sync?

  CMN: There are cases when you can't do anything about it,
       e.g., real world events.

   HB: What about auction events?

  CMN: You can't slow down the real world. The requirement
       doesn't apply.

   GR: Auction houses notify through color changes <frown>
       critical events.

   -- 
   2.6 
      a) Added collated text transcript
      b) Moved note to checkpoint, added 
         "author-supplied" synch cues.

   MK: Sounds ok to me.
 
   MQ: What about adding the word "indexing"?

   HB: Indexing in the sense of marking time?

   MQ: Marking time.

   --
   4.7: 
   MK, EH: Ok.


   4.16: Allow the user to configure viewports, 
         prompts, and windows opened on user agent initiation. 

   IJ: We could harmonize wording with that of 9.2. Use 
       "not explicitly done by the user."

   DP, CMN: Yes, 

   GR: I think that the focus is to allow the user to configure
       whether or not the UA. "Allow the user to configure
       whether the user agent will automatically open a viewport,
       prompt, or window.

   EH: That's a new requirement.

  CMN: There are other configuration issues.

  GR: It's one thing to control the size/position of something
     once created and another to talk about suppressing the
     creation. 

  IJ: As I recall, we agreed in Austin to put all of it in 4.16.

 CMN: I agree with Gregory - there are two separate requirements.

  GR: I propose to split the checkpoint:
   a) Allow the user to configure the visual rendering.
   b) Allow the user to configure alert mechanisms used on opening.
   c) Respect user settings when opening windows.

  IJ: Sounds like three:
   a) Suppress spawning AND/OR prevent focus shifting.
   b) Configure alert of spawning.
   c) Style the user interface.

  IJ: I don't think "respect user settings" get us much.

  Action IJ: Add to definition of Configure that users should
      be able to save settings. 

  JG: How does all this relate to focus changes (4.15)?
  
  IJ: Why are spawned windows an issue if there's no
      focus change and you're notified?

  GR: Yes, 4.15 and 4.16 are related.

  RESOLVED:
   1) MOve note after 4.16 to 4.16 techniques with some
      clarification.

   2) Link from 4.16 techniques to 4.15 techs.
  
   3) Reword 4.16.
      Action Ian: Send proposal to list to clarify.

------

  Action IJ: Add a reference to the XHTML Recommendation.

  Action IJ: For 5.1, add a technique to take into DOMs defined
             by other specifications (e.g., SVG).
 
 ------
  5.8:  
   HR: Ok
   RS: Ok.
   

  6.2:
   Bug: Ian forgot to add "available"
   Action: 
     - FIx bug
     - Explain what a W3C Rec is in the techniques document.

  8.4: Ok.

  9.4: s/portion/proportion

  10.7: Action Ian: Add "in" a profile.

  
-----------
CMN: Is minority objection propagated?
IJ: Yes.


GR: In the definition of documentation, it doesn't talk about updates.
IJ: That's in 1.2.
GR: Things that are supplemental, but provided by the vendor.

Action IJ: Add something about with the product or available
elsewhere.

------------------------------
GO TO PR?

IJ: Any objections to going to PR?

None.
