[9]Pending Review Action Items * [10]Summary of Action Items _________________________________________________________ <trackbot> Date: 17 June 2010 <scribe> meeting: TAG <scribe> scribenick: Ashok <scribe> scribe: Ashok Malhotra Convene Noah: I will be available next week but not the following 2 weeks. So, I want to cancel the mtgs for July 1 and July 8 ... I will send mail re. summer calls ... HT can you scribe next week? ht: Yes, subject to usual constraints <noah> Henry will scribe next week Noah: Larry, we are still waiting for minutes from May 27, correct? Larry: Yes Noah: f2f minutes need to be approved. Let's do it next week. <jar> Still looking at f2f minutes Noah: I'm working with Raman on hosting October mtg <noah> NM: Summarizes Raman's concerns about F2F scheduling <noah> HT: Endorses sense of Noah's reply... F2F meetings are useful, this one is good ISSUE-1 (w3cMediaType-1): Media types in Web architecture Larry: I updated the note a bit. ... The docs we reference are a bit incomplete ... I got a positive review from Ned Freed and Graham Klyne. <noah> HT: The one we reviewed at the F2F was the blog post ([11]http://masinter.blogspot.com/2010/06/mime-and-web.html) [11] http://masinter.blogspot.com/2010/06/mime-and-web.html) Larry: more to be said on registering MIME types ... affects a lot of issues ... version indicators, sniffing and whether metadata is authoritative ... language of this doc does not talk about licences or authority ... need a clearer statement of what MIME means and how to use it on the Web ... 2 opportunities ... 1) work with Ned and Graham to update MIME doc and MIME registration procedures ... would be really helpful ... 2) proposal for new IETF WG -- HTTP Application Security to be discussed in mtg late July <ht> HASMAT <Yves> I gave a pointer to the HASMAT BOF at next IETF during the f2f Noah: Thank you, Larry ... very helpful <Zakim> ht, you wanted to mention override HT: Very valuable... uptake from IETF very encouraging ... need to add section on overriding media-types <timbl__> Examples? <timbl__> VXML? HTML5? <jar> Link: header has 'type' feature relating to Content-type... but it means "you might expect to get something of this type" I think (should check) <jar> so maybe not a problem HT: regardless of response you get use this media-type or if there is no media-type specified use this media-type <ht> XInclude, xml-stylesheet PI, XProc <noah> From RFC 2616: <noah> If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the resource. Larry: There were some concrete suggestions for spec to be updated at the end of the BOF <Yves> see also [12]http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p3-payload-09#sect ion-3.2.1 [12] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p3-payload-09#section-3.2.1 Larry: If you have out-of-band info about media-type you shd use that in an Accept Header Noah: Would you update 2616 ? <ht> Guys, remember that HTTP-bis is underway and it _is_ updating 2616 <Zakim> ht, you wanted to explain the XInclude example HT: I will explain the XInclude case and I hope you will agree it does the right thing <jar> ( [13]http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-10 sec. 5.4 "this is only a hint" ) [13] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-10 HT: I'm ignoring media type and doing something different because that's what the includer wants Tim: When you break the level of abstraction you are on dangerous ground and user shd be warned Larry: If you say it says it's XML but I will treat as plain text <Zakim> ht, you wanted to say I hear Tim agreeing with me that doing this has to be called out for special discussion ht: I agree with Tim ... a new doc about media-types shd say something about this kind of behaviour and it shd say what Tim said ... be careful when breaking levels of abstraction ... The efficient XML encoding is not an encoding ... tells you how to build an infoset but not a content encoding <Yves> that's why EXI can't be used as a Transfer-Encoding (and it is marked that way in the IANA registry) <Zakim> noah, you wanted to say: I think Larry's example exposes why we treated doing EXI as a content-encoding Larry: You also want to think abt overriding the character encoding <ht> [14]http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#text-included-items [14] http://www.w3.org/TR/xinclude/#text-included-items <Zakim> timbl__, you wanted to talk about breaking levels for example accessing the character sequence Noah: It would be very different for XInclude to say: ignore the content type, use this as opposed to check if media type is within this bounde range and then play the level-breaking tricks <noah> Noah: specifically, the XML media type says that what you get >is< characters, so treating your information as such isn't ignoring the media type Tim: Gives examples of level-breaking Noah: Let's talk abt how to cooperate with IETF Larry: My time is limited... can someone else do this? Noah: If we pick this back up in Sept will we have lost an opportunity? <noah> Maastricht is late July? Larry: Would be good to weigh in on HASMAT <noah> YL: Likely scope of HASMAT work is much broader than media types & sniffing. I will be there and can convey messages. Larry: Please make suggestion YL: I don't see a lot of interest in IETF to work on the specs ... I think it's very important Noah: Shd Yves take an action to gather a TAG position on how to handle this and then represent us in Maastricht? ... Larry can you work on this the next week? <masinter> yes <noah> . ACTION Yves to coordinate TAG positions on media type related work with IETF, and to represent TAG at IETF meetings in Mastricht <noah> ACTION Yves to coordinate TAG positions on media type related work with IETF, and to represent TAG at IETF meetings in Mastricht Due: 2010-07-20 <trackbot> Created ACTION-447 - Coordinate TAG positions on media type related work with IETF, and to represent TAG at IETF meetings in Mastricht Due: 2010-07-20 [on Yves Lafon - due 2010-06-24]. <noah> ACTION-447 Due 2010-07-20 <trackbot> ACTION-447 Coordinate TAG positions on media type related work with IETF, and to represent TAG at IETF meetings in Mastricht Due: 2010-07-20 due date now 2010-07-20 <noah> From 9 June 2010 F2F discussion: RESOLUTION: HST to send the contents of [15]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2010Jun/0014.html to ietf-http-wg, cced to public-html and www-tag, with minor fixes given above [15] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/tag/2010Jun/0014.html Noah: Originates from Action-387 ISSUE-24 (contentTypeOverride-24): Media Type Sniffing <noah> Response from Mark Nottingham: [16]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jun/0097.html [16] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Jun/0097.html <noah> HT: I still prefer what Yves wrote, but they've responded, and we should thank them and move on. HT: ... we got some of what we wanted <noah> From the response from Mark: <noah> In practice, currently-deployed servers sometime provide a Content-Type header which does not correctly convey the intended interpretation of the content sent, with the result that some clients will examine the response body's content and override the specified type. Yves: The new text was more in line with ... explains motivation for changes ... security breaches Noah: I have trouble with -- with the result that some clients will examine the response body's content and override the specified type. ... perhaps this is minor HT: Not worth bothering with this Noah: Henry can you send thanks? HT: Yes <noah> close ACTION-387 <trackbot> ACTION-387 Review JK/NM's stuff on sniffing, authoritative metadata, self-describing web, incl.

Next step in announcing IRI everywhere Larry: Some movement in IETF in unifying IRI ... I cannot separate the politics from the technical substance <noah> I want to be sure we're getting the technical details of what Larry is saying...do we need to pause for the scribe? <masinter> there are several technical issues that need to be worked somewhere larry: Several technical issues <masinter> the most important is around IDNA and domain names <masinter> because IDNA doesn't use hex-encoded UTF8 but rahter punicode <masinter> Internationalization of Domain Names for Applications <masinter> second around BIDI Noah: What shd be TAG's role? ... Shall we close the action? <masinter> suggest closing this action, leaving issue open <noah> OK <jar> Larry's plan for closing the issue: [18]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Mar/0037.html [18] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Mar/0037.html Noah: I will not schedule discussion unless someone asks? <ht> close ACTION-370 <trackbot> ACTION-370 HST to send a revised-as-amended version of [19]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Dec/0068.html to the HTTP bis list on behalf of the TAG closed [19] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Dec/0068.html Raman: Has anyone else read the msg from Adam Barth? ... it's a question of layering of specs ... URI spec tells you how a URI is written and interpreted ... if you think abt which spec goes first ... how the byte stream is interpreted <masinter> hard to separate logistics issues from technical issues, but the technical issues need to be worked, independently of where. IDNA, BIDI presentation, and several others. Noah: Closing the action is consistent with your advice Raman: I suggest the TAG read Adam Barth's note and then we can discuss <noah> Adam Barth's message: [20]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0394.htm l [20] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0394.html Noah: I will not schedule discussion unless someone asks <masinter> Adam's message focuses on the logistical approach, but I'm afraid that the layering isn't actually appropriate, doesn't match how anyone implements IRIs today HT: Pl. read Adam's msg and let's discuss next week <noah> .
