   CSS Exclusions

   CSS Speech
   (danielweck not on the call)
   <danielweck> PS: I'm on the IRC...still trying to connect on SIP

   <dbaron> Was there a resolution on publishing namespaces?
   <Ms2ger> (When namespaces goes to PR, can selectors become a REC?)
   <fantasai> http://www.w3.org/blog/CSS/2011/06/22/resolutions_167
   <glazou> Ms2ger: I hope yes

   CSS3 Images
   Tab sent a list of changes
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jun/0716.html
   fantasai: section 5.1 it's unclear what changed. we have resolution to
             change the degrees issue with gradients
   fantasai: what is the current meaning of the keywords in the draft?
   bradk: it's opposite
   fantasai: should make it consistent with the previous WD and then mark
             it an issue
   TabAtkins: i will do it
   will revisit next week

CSS Module Templates
--------------------

   fantasai: had some feedback from jdaggett and dbaron; have not incorporated
             feedback from dbaron yet
   <dbaron> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-module/
   <fantasai> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jun/0509.html
   <fantasai> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jun/0534.html
   jdaggett: the intro is separated from the body by 3 sections which contain
             info that should be in a preface
   jdaggett suggests an initial section with that stuff in, before the intro
   TabAtkins: agrees; boilerplate stuff should be collected together at
              beginning or end
   Florian: would prefer it be at the top
   * glazou agrees with Florian
   fantasai: don't want it to merge with the status section. Move Document
             Conventions section to the conformance section near the end?
   <dbaron> I wonder how much we can do and remain compliant to http://www.w3.org/2005/07/pubrules
   jdaggett: put after TOC, before Intro
   TabAtkins: how much flexibility do we have with the Status section?
   fantasai: there is some useful stuff, but much is not useful
   glazou: we don't have total flexibility. see pubrules above
   jdaggett: confused by the formatting. issues sprinkled all over the place
   fantasai: these are things that need to be replaced. they come from the template
   <dbaron> pubrules do appear to require Abstract, then SOTD, then TOC
   jdaggett: all the issues imply that there's something wrong with the template
   glazou: jdaggett wants another way to showing this
   jdaggett: issue is not the meaning that's implied here
   * Ms2ger agrees with jdaggett
   <dbaron> I actually like the big "Issue" markers for actual issues
   smfr: this is a template after all. does it matter?
   jdaggett: there are people coming into the group who will be confused by
             all these issues
   dbaron: I think we should not worry about what the template looks like,
           only what the resulting spec looks like.
   plinss: ugly is better!
   * fantasai will have to put blink in there just because now
   Florian: put all the boilerplate that immediately follows introduction to
            immediately before introduction
   TabAtkins: put all the boilerplate related to implementors at the bottom?
   glazou: not sure we can do that?
   fantasai: we can, and have
   glazou: specs are made for implementors, not authors, so do we care?
   TabAtkins: some authors read specs.
   glazou: they can skip that section
   fantasai: we can move down; what matters is what's normative, and what's
             informative
   fantasai: values section can be tailored based on the spec
   glazou: suggest fantasai comes up with a reshaped template and we discuss
           again

CSS3 Speech
-----------

   danielweck: would like to publish CSS3 Speech as LCWD
   danielweck: there has been discussion about epub3 media overlays, but
               believes that this does not interact with css3 speech
   smfr: what would a test suite look like?
   * glazou s/look/hear :-)
   danielweck: there's some discussion; would have to talk to implementors
               about implementation
   danielweck: LCWD does not require test suite
   TabAtkins: right; needs suite to exit CR
   danielweck: would be good to have new WD, but a LCWD would give the draft
               more presence
   glazou: and triggers comments from other WGs
   glazou: please list in email the WGs you think are interested
   glazou: fantasai you need another week?
   fantasai: i can review before Tuesday
   RESOLVED: publish CSS3 Speech next week as LCWD unless fantasai's review
             finds issues

Seattle F2F
-----------

   vincent: trying to find a room to host at Adobe, but also working with
            Microsoft to find space
   sylvaing: assuming that folks will prefer Seattle
   glazou: before going on, but do we still keep this July F2F?
   jdaggett: we have a lot of work and having a F2F makes sense
   glazou: is that opinion shared?
   [general yes]
   glazou: are the dates firm?
   [general yes]
   RESOLVED: Seattle dates are firm

   glazou: sylvaing, when can you post an update on the final location
   sylvaing: end of next week, pref. earlier?
   sylvaing: hotels might book up because its a busy weekend
   johnjan: hotel on the wiki is close to Adobe for sure
   <dbaron> wiki url?
   vincent: Marriott Courtyard is listed or the SVG meeting
   <anne> it's not listed on http://wiki.csswg.org/planning ?
   <vhardy> http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/F2F/Seattle_2011
   anne: when can we have an agenda?
   glazou: we would like to talk with anne about the CSS OM
   <dbaron> And the dates are June 24-26, correct?
   <Ms2ger> July?
   <dbaron> And the dates are July 24-26, correct?
   <Florianr> July 24-26, yes.


CSSOM
-----

   anne: CSS OM hasn't changed for a while (been on vacation)
   Aug 2010: implementors would experiment to see if the proposed values
             API makes sense
   anne: hasn't had any feedback from implementors
   anne: need more discussion for caret position(?)
   anne: dbaron raised issue with media query listeners and when listeners
         are called
   anne: TabAtkins suggested new APIs for location of elements on screen,
         border boxes, margin boxes, including transforms
   anne: unclear if need more than getBoundingClient rect etc.
   glazou: i sent mail "CSS OM list of issues" in May
   anne: these are new feature requests; I haven't looked into them in detail
   glazou: what's the immediate future for the document?
   anne: need feedback from implementors before things can proceed
   glazou: would a first public WD give it more visibility
   anne: yes
   glazou: is there immediate work to make it ready for first public WD?
   anne: no, but would like link to current editors draft
   smfr: shouldn't we just publish WD more frequently
   fantasai: we should publish new WD when there are significant changes
+tantek via IRC
   glazou: the W3C needs to produce stable documents
   jdaggett: the font spec does this. doesn't seem like an issue
   anne: why would you review the WD when the ED has lots of fixes
   glazou: in CSS 2.1 we've backed out changes, to it can happen that the
           ED is wrong
   glazou: WD needs to be stable
   glazou: :)
   <tantek> IETF drafts have expiration dates, what's the historical reason
            why WDs don't have expiration dates?
   <tantek> or rather, could we, as one WG, put expiration dates in our WDs?
   glazou: should we link to the editors draft here?
   fantasai: we should have this in the template and do this for all WDs
   <tantek> fantasai - agreed
   <tantek> all WDs should link to their EDs
   <Ms2ger> Absolutely
   * tantek is on another phone call - so can only attend via IRC today
   RESOLVED: Add editor's draft link to module template
   RESOLVED: Publish CSSOM as FPWD
   RESOLVED: and add link to editors drafts in all working drafts

CSS Fonts etc
-------------

   jdaggett: glen adams from samsung has objected to any kind of same origin
             restriction
   jdaggett: need to resolve whether the same origin restriction is removed
             from the CSS3 Fonts spec
   jdaggett: propose this as s topic for next week
   sylvaing: there is an organization that has normative dependencies on CSS3
             working drafts; it's a problem
   sylvaing: They're objecting to what they see as breaking changes
   kimberlyblessing: Comcast is also in this group. I'm trying to explain as
                     much as I can to the team how W3C works
   glazou: would help to have a liason person communicate with this group
   jdaggett: how can they refer to the CSS3 Fonts spec? It used to be 2 specs
             (fonts, and Web Fonts), and @font-face used to be in Web Fonts
   sylvaing: we have to resolve a hard dependency here, since there may be a
             breaking change here
   sylvaing will keep the WG informed

Line Grid proposal
------------------

   Florian: fantasai made alternative proposal at Kyoto F2F, but it hasn't
            been written down
   jdaggett: this is not my recollection from Japan
   Florian: we discussed why we need it, not the details of the proposal itself
   jdaggett: we talked about merging this and the Line Layout spec
   jdaggett: suggests Florian post an email describing the issue and referring
             to the minutes
   <fantasai> ACTION fantasai: post summary of proposal to www-style
   <trackbot> Created ACTION-336

Charter
-------

   fantasai: what's the state of the charter?
   vhardy: we have to discuss the FX part
   move charter discussion to email
