   <scribe> ACTION: chris to fix the definition of number to allow
   scientific notation in attribute values [recorded in
   [13]http://www.w3.org/2010/04/22-svg-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-2765 - Fix the definition of number to
   allow scientific notation in attribute values [on Chris Lilley - due
   2010-04-29].

   implementations certainly allow .3 and i think they allow .3e3 as
   well

   need to add a test for that syntax for stroke width or something

   <ed> "When used in an SVG attribute that is not also a presentation
   attribute, a <number> is defined differently, to allow numbers with
   large magnitudes to be specified more concisely:"

   <ed> should be changed to allow scientific notation in presentation
   attributes

   that text is new, wrong, and easily fixed

   There was some discussion recently on Line caps drawing on zero
   length lines

   jeff schiller argued it was pointless, dr olaf said it was needed

   ISSUE-2259?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-2259 -- Inconsistent use of <uri> symbol -- RAISED

   <a href="types.html#DataTypeFuncIRI">&amp;ltfunc;iri&gt;</a>

   yes needs to be fixed in master

   erik: is it only properties that use funcIRI?

   <ed> [19]http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/publish/propidx.html
   (looks broken there too)

     [19] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/publish/propidx.html

   chris: in 1.1 yes. 1.2t also uses it for navigation

   erik: need to check all of these from the property table. not
   autogenerated. need to edit idd files?
   ... will have a look at the scripts in case there is automation
   there

   ISSUE-2305?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-2305 -- Line caps drawing on zero length lines --
   RAISED

   <trackbot> [20]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2305

   ISSUE-2314?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-2314 -- Negative values in polygon/polyline points
   -- RAISED

   <trackbot> [21]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2314

     [21] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2314

   erik: lets move that to 2.0

   doug: jeff would rather adress it now I think.

   (we think most implementations allow space to be omitted if the
   second argument is negative)

   moveto-argument-sequence:

   coordinate-pair

   | coordinate-pair comma-wsp? lineto-argument-sequence

   moveto-argument-sequence:

   coordinate-pair

   | coordinate-pair comma-wsp? lineto-argument-sequence

   coordinate-pair:

   coordinate comma-wsp? coordinate

   so it should be

   coordinate-pair:

   coordinate comma-wsp? coordinate | coordinate negativecoordinate

   (we do some browser testing on the fly with inconsistent results)

   patrick: opera and ie9 both read the negative as a separator
   ... firefox is not

   erik: safari has a green rect
   ... trying batik ....
   ... green rect as well

   chris: so all but firefox, in summary

   i think this is one we should do now

   doug: illustrator shows a green box too

   <patrickd> <polygon fill="red" transform="translate(100,100)"

   <patrickd> points="0,0,100,0,100,-100,0,-100" />

   ISSUE-2317?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-2317 -- Give different result for feGaussianBlur
   stdDeviation=0 -- RAISED

   <trackbot> [25]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2317

     [25] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2317

   erik: made some changes to a local copy of svg filters, not
   completed yet, will split the equation for x and y
   ... as dr hoffman suggested

   chris: we try to avoid having zero be a singularity

   erik: ok will do in filters, then backport to 1.1 if it works ok and
   there is time

   action-2189?

   <trackbot> ACTION-2189 -- Erik Dahlström to clarify that
   stdDeviation="25,0" for feGaussianBlur still means that the filter
   must be rendered -- due 2008-12-31 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [26]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2189

     [26] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2189

   erik: added some tests for this in filter module so can add those
   ... but no implementation handles it, they all give no output for
   zero

   chris: can opera change to add that?

   erik: already done, ha!

   ISSUE-2318?

   <trackbot> ISSUE-2318 -- How should text-decorations be rendered wrt
   boundingbox units (gradients, filters)? -- RAISED

   <trackbot> [28]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2318

     [28] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2318

   erik: more of a clarification

   chris: a test with a small text string like "..." would show this
   with strikethrough and underline

   erik: or an svg font with a huge underline offset

   doug: better to do in 2.0 as we attack decorated bounding box then

   chris: yes

   erik: can test with getBbox

   doug: depends what it takes into account. eg not stroke width

   erik: its the glyphbox

   chris: it all depends on whether the strike and underline are
   considered part of the glyph or are considered extra graphics drawn
   along with the glyph

   erik: text decoration not implemented in firefox

   doug: text support in svg in firefox needs work
   ... jwatt aware of the issue

   chris: agree, move to 2.0

   erik: updating issue now

open 1.1 actions

   ACTION-2077?

   <trackbot> ACTION-2077 -- Erik Dahlström to test implementations for
   percentage values in clipPath, etc. -- due 2008-07-03 -- OPEN

     [29] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2077

   erik: mre exploratory, change how clippath percent units are
   resolved, more of a 2.0 thing

   s/mire/more/

   moved to 2.0

   <ed> [30]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/products/1

     [30] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/products/1

   erik: hmm the issue is already 2.0 but it shows in tracker as a 1.1
   action, odd

   chris (some tracker bugs if issues and actions are on different
   products)

   erik: want a deadline for completing these actions

   chris: one week

   erik: ok, one week. if not done, mark as 2.0

   patrick: if they don't get attention then we can move thwem and
   worry later if they still are relevant
   ... cvs access still not working

   ACTION-2590?

   <trackbot> ACTION-2590 -- Cameron McCormack to ensure javadocs get
   published when 1.1F2 is published -- due 2009-06-09 -- OPEN

     [31] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2590

   erik: not sure if that has been done

   erik: will do

   action erik to mail heycam about ACTION-2590

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-2768 - Mail heycam about ACTION-2590 [on
   Erik Dahlström - due 2010-04-29].

   ACTION-2644?

   /Graphics/SVG when publishing 1.1SE -- due 2009-08-12 -- OPEN

   <trackbot> [32]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2644

     [32] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2644

   chris: do we want a dtd? we are guiding people away from them
   ... we would need to update the DTD for all changes

   erik: ned to harvest already for default values

   chris: much clearer to say "if not specified" than to have a dtd
   snippet

   <scribe> ACTION: erik check the DTD for defaulted values and put
   lacuna wording in the spec for each one [recorded in
   [33]http://www.w3.org/2010/04/22-svg-minutes.html#action04]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-2769 - Check the DTD for defaulted values
   and put lacuna wording in the spec for each one [on Erik Dahlström -
   due 2010-04-29].

   chris: did we add or remove attributes or elements?

   erik: something about font or font face elements.
   ... not sure
   ... check the errata page

   chris; ok if we already made dtd changes from errata we need to
   republish that DTD

   <ed> [34]http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/errata/errata.xml

     [34] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/errata/errata.xml

   le_add_fontface

     [35] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/errata/errata.xml#font_module_add_fontface

   ok so only one dtd change, easy to do

   erik: it was correct in the dtd not in the spec snippet
   ... so we can copy the old DTD in fact

   chris: if its identical no need for an update

   close ACTION-2644

   <trackbot> ACTION-2644 Update the 1.1 DTD under /Graphics/SVG when
   publishing 1.1SE closed

   ACTION-2743?

   <trackbot> ACTION-2743 -- Chris Lilley to make a harness version of

     [36] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/actions/2743

   chris: if there are unapproved tests then i will agenda+ them for
   monday

   erik: is it better to change the fx taskforce telcon now or have the
   call and decisde on the call a new time?

   doug: better for me to have it the week after (www2101)
   ... better to change the time now ad postpone the call

   erik: ok

     [37] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Brussels%2C_Belgium_F2F#Agenda

   erik: day planning is usuall done in the first session so its not
   fixed yet

   patrick: wondering if we want to spend a full day on second edition
   work?

   erik: if its done before then not, otherwise its a way to get it
   done

   patrick: what is this about a conformance report?

   <patrickd> These tests, and the corresponding implementation reports
   are intended not to test implementations

   (explains the difference between implementation testing and
   conformance certification)

   <patrickd>
   [38]http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_Overview

     [38] http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Test_Suite_Overview

   These tests, and the corresponding implementation reports are
   intended not to certify implementations as conforming, but rather
   the interoperable implementability of the specification itself.

   the wonders of wiki

   t.html

     [39] http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/errata/implementation-report.html

   patrick: the 1.1 test suite is seen by the public as a conformance
   suite. and there are a lot of animation tetss, which we don't pass

   doug: this is a fundamental part of the process. we have to make
   implementation reports

   chris: all the browsers started with low scores. this is not
   surprising

   doug: yes we do need more tests

   erik: we can do more testing of interactions

   doug: also svg+html tets are needed - good to test, but outside our
   current scope

   erik: want to see that in the charter for the new work in svg 2.0

   doug: very bad for morale to hold up 1.1se while the test suite gets
   bigger

   patrick: happy to contribute more tests as long as they are reviewed

   doug: its time consuming work. 1.2T spent a year to do that

   erik: we need a new automated test harness really

   doug: can call this out more explicitly
   ... goot to have microsoft join the SVG IG to help with torture
   tests

   patrick: location for the extra two days are now confirmed

   adjourned
