    Noah: Msg from Paul Cotton re. HTML5 Last Call. See above
    ... I would like a longer review period --- 8 weeks

    <DKA>  I think it sounds like a good plan.

    <JeniT>  sure

    <DKA>  +1 to longer period.

    <ht>  8 weeks

    <ht>  Suggest at least one session at f2f to discuss how we approach
    HTML 5 Last Call review

    <DKA>  I do feel it's worth it.

    Noah: should we do a serious read-thru ?

    ht: I want to review some items
    ... extensive email thread discussing what it would take for prefix
    bindings issue to be reopened
    ... want to check that

    <Zakim>  DKA, you wanted to say 'yes' as well.

    <noah>  DKA: Applications, app cache, device capabilities, etc.

    <Zakim>  jar, you wanted to say will check for a few particular
    things. won't read from end to end

    DanA: I will review stuff related to Web Applications and device
    capabilities ... and, in general, mobile

    JAR: I will look at the media type registration stuff

    <ht>  HST: DOCTYPE legacy, prefix binding, status of existing HTML in
    media type registration section

    JAR: Asks about reading for the f2f

    Noah: Please prepare long items 10 pages or more 10 days or 2 weeks
    before f2f
    ... for shorter documents, 1 week

    <jar>  - (Manu) Unfortunately, this practice is not covered by

    <jar>  - the media type registrations that govern the meaning of

    <jar>  - fragment identifiers (see section 3.5 of the URI
    specification

    <jar>  - [RFC3986], [RFC3023], and [RFC2854]).

    <jar>  the above is text he (the editor) just sent me...

    <noah>  Used to say "at present covered by".

    ht: This is very weak

    <jar>  The text from Manu above is not official yet (WG approved)

    ht: It would not be possible to write media-type registrations that
    were consistent with each other and with 3986

    <jar>  Manu says: "we'll run it by you to make sure it works for you
    and the TAG" (before CR)

    <noah>  JT: Are you saying 3986 prohibits one using fragids in the
    way that RDF does?

    <noah>  HT: Not quite.

    <Yves>  conneg text about fragid is only in webarch IIRC

    Noah: 3986 says "the ids are grounded in the representations that
    are rertievable"
    ... the answer should be consistent for all reprsentations you can
    serve up

    <noah>  HT: Per Web Arch, fragids must be consistent across all
    possible connegs

    <noah>   From 3986:

    <noah>  "The fragment's format and resolution is therefore

    <noah>  dependent on the media type [RFC2046] of a potentially
    retrieved

    <noah>  representation, even though such a retrieval is only
    performed if the

    <noah>  URI is dereferenced."

    <jar>  3986: "Each representation should either define the

    <jar>  fragment so that it corresponds to the same secondary
    resource,

    <jar>  regardless of how it is represented, or should leave the
    fragment

    <jar>  undefined (i.e., not found)."

    <Zakim>  ht, you wanted to ask about the conneg advice in WebArch. .
    .

    <noah>  JAR: Treat conneg and base case separately. Getting the base
    case right seems a prerequisite to getting conneg right.

    JAR: You could add words to the relevant specs to make them
    consistent
    ... conneg is already problem

    ht: I worry about what the architects of the original system
    intended

    <JeniT>
    [21]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2011May/0027.html

      [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2011May/0027.html

    JeniT: Text could only be added to application/xhtml+xml if
    application/xml allowed it

    <noah>  NM: Am I right that for application/xxx+xml, 3032 bis says
    "it's XPointer"?

    <noah>  JT: Yes, I think so.

    jar: They want RDFa to be a mix-in for any media type

    <noah>  NM: I think Jeni and I are saying that RDFa core seems to
    conflict with RFC 3023bis.

    <Zakim>  ht, you wanted to ask what advice we ever gave Chris about
    3023bis and this issue?

    <jar>  [22]http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xhtml-rdfa-20110331/

      [22] http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-xhtml-rdfa-20110331/

    <jar>  [23]http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-rdfa-core-20100422/

      [23] http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-rdfa-core-20100422/

    <Zakim>  Noah, you wanted to remind what we said to 3023 bis editors

    Noah: We discussed the 3023 bis situation in London ... our initial
    proposal was that they drop IDs as part of generic processing from
    the spec
    ... they came back and said that was not possible

    <JeniT>
    [24]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Nov/0078.html

      [24] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2010Nov/0078.html

    Noah: we then asked them to make an exception for RDF+XML

    <JeniT>  above link is to message to 3023bis editors

    Noah: We have a race condition between RDFCore and 3023bis
    ... What will pass final review when RDFa goes forward

    <Zakim>  JeniT, you wanted to say that I'm worried about 3023bis
    outside RDFa

    Noah: Suggest we wait till Tim is available and then send a note
    urging consistency between the specs

    <noah>  NM: I made a specific proposal which was: check whether Tim
    thinks this is serious. If so, signal to RDFa Core and 3023bis
    editors that we consider any incompatibilities between their final
    proposals to be serious, and encourage them to work that out before
    RDFa core moves to Candidate Recommendation.

    JeniT: 3023bis does not discuss uses of frag-ids in actual practice

    ht: It will be hard to get XMLCore to agree with you on that
    ... strongly held positions about frad-ids and barenames

    <Yves>  +1 to ht suggestion

    Noah: RDFa folks should work with the 3023bis editors
    ... we consider the incompatibility serious

    Discussion about the inconsistencies

    Noah: Cannot use barenames and generic processing when you have RDFa
    semantics

    <noah>  NM: I think barenames are the main path case for both of
    them. I think the generic folks need it to work with>any<  URI that
    resolves to an applicaiton/???+xml and with any application

    Ashok: Do we have suggestions about how the specs could be
    reconciled? I don't see a possible solution.

    <ht>  First part of what Jeni said is certainly doable: If a fragid
    on xml media type is not (syntactically) an XPointer, then it has at
    most specific media-type-determined semantics

    JAR: There are other frag-id problems

    Noah: I don't see a good solution here either

    <ht>  Second part, if I understood it, is much harder -- to be blunt,
    XML was there first, and asking the entire XML community to stop
    treating barenames as ID-grounded, is not going to happen

    JAR: I suggested that if there is no element according to XPointer
    then we resolve by some other means
    ... did not get any traction

    HT: If it is not *syntactically* an XPointer then it can be resolved
    by other means

    <noah>  I'm uncomfortable implying that the referent of a URI depends
    on whether the software doing the processing is specialized

    <ht>  I tried to push this view at the meeting at Google, but Tim
    would absolutely not go there

    <noah>  I>think<  that's what Yves is proposing, no?

    Yves: RDFa processor is not an XML processor ... in HTML if you get
    JavaScript you change semantics of the # tag

    <ht>  +1 to Yves suggest that we step back

    <jar>  Yves: Not necessarily a good thing, but it's a fact

    <noah>  YL: That's a fact, it's what's happening.

    Yves: RDF processor will handle frag-ids differently than an XML
    processor

    <noah>  Yes, but my view is: it's happening, it's hugely broken, and
    if possible we need to do better

    <ht>  I note that we don't have a problem with the idea that an XML
    or HTML editor which doesn't expand entity references is not broken.
    . .

    <Yves>  how can we minimize the brokenness

    <ht>  +1 for f2f

    <Yves>  +1 for f2f

    <JeniT>  +1 for f2f

    Noah: Next steps ... wait till Tim is with us ... f2f?

    JAR: Better if we could something about this before the f2f ...
    Jeni's msg was great ... we need to admit to the contradiction

    Noah: Fix it or live with it?

    ht: If we can accept that what comes after the # is client-side and
    may be different in different situations

    Noah: I think this is a huge step backwards

    <noah>  NM: I am>very<  unhappy with that view of URIs. The fragid is
    part of the URI, the URI identifies whatever it identifies,
    independent of the software that processes it.

    JAR: People are in their own world and care only about their uses

    <jar>  There is no constituency for "one web" (in the sense of one
    URI namespace)

    Noah: Could someone prepare for the discussion as the f2f

    <noah>  ACTION: Jeni with Jonathan to prepare F2F discussion of
    fragids including #!, RDFa, 3023bis, etc. Due 2011-05-24 [recorded
