ACTION John to fix event() examples in spec
<trackbot> Sorry, amibiguous username (more than one match) - John
<trackbot> Try using a different identifier, such as family name or username (eg. jkugelma, jboyer)
Steven: the February is fine for me, the June one I propose Amsterdam
John: Charlie was going to set up
the London one in June, but this is questionably this is going
to succeed
... We should consider
... Amsterdam for a location as the June FtF
John: Paul could you take an action item to look at John's reply
<John_Boyer> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2008Nov/0061.html
<scribe> ACTION: Paul to look at John's reply for http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2008Nov/0061.html qnd respond to the list or talk about it on the next call [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/26-forms-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Paul

John: On the list someone
responded that you can do a submission to validate the
instance, and you can use the submission-error
... You can omit the resource and do a fake submission to do
the validation, you get another error when the data isn't valid
and when the resource isn't available.
... We specify that it is an error if you don't specify the
resource in any way you get an error, but we didn't specify
which error is send
... Does anybody mind fixing the spec?
... By specifying it
Paul: There is a typo in the first step
John: Is it unrelated to this issue
Paul: Yes it is unrelated just noticed ti while reading the spec for the issue we're discussing
ACTION John to fix typo in the first step of submission (udate instead of update)
<trackbot> Sorry, amibiguous username (more than one match) - John
<trackbot> Try using a different identifier, such as family name or username (eg. jkugelma, jboyer)
John: Can I add a note about validating the instance with the fake submission with no resource
Paul: I know in FormsPlayer we validate, before doing anything else, that all required attributes are available
John: Yes, it could require
changes to existing implementation because we don't say when
the checking occurs
... If people don't want to specify when the checking of the
attributes is done that's also fine for me
... But if we specify to do it in step 7 then we support this
kind of validation
<scribe> ACTION: John to update the spec so it says that resource availability is checked in step 7 of the submission process [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/26-forms-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Sorry, amibiguous username (more than one match) - John
<trackbot> Try using a different identifier, such as family name or username (eg. jkugelma, jboyer)
John: We need somebody to have a
look at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2008Nov/0008.html
and send a reply to the list
... Paul can you do this
Paul: Yes I can
ACTION Paul to look at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2008Nov/0008.html and send a reply
<trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Paul
Steven: John Could you review the
e-mail that I've sent related to this
... Is everyone happy with the shortname?
John: Everyone on the phone gave his +1 last week
Steven: Do we know that it is called XForms Transitional in our charter.
John: They are modifying the HTML
valuator to allow HTML5
... There is legislation that only allows valid HTML, using the
W3C validator or with a validator that uses the W3C rules plus
some extra rules
... The HTML Validator doesn't allows some of the w3c specs on
the web in html
... They added MarthML in the past
... MathML doesn't works in all browsers, so they can use this
against putting XForms in it
... And we now have an implentation that runs on all major
browsers
<Steven> be right back
John: The question is what is the process
<Steven> sorry about that
John: There are alternatives to the one library that runs on all major Browsers that is royalty free
Steven: The guy who maintains the validator leaves this week
<Steven> http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv
Steven: The validator works with
every dtd, but you can't make dtd for XForms due to the
instance element
... If we create a schema than we can link to the schema
validator page
John: I think this will help a lot with the W3C matrix of specs
Steven: Maybe Paul can provide the schema that is used in sidewinder
John: The trouble is that people
go to the W3C HTML validator, not to an alternative
validator
... We need to go to validator.w3.org
Steven: I think if that is the case then we need to go higher up, saying that it is important for business that the main validator supports the w3c specs
John: The XForms attributes we can achieve with dtd
Steven: W can use this in XHTML modularization then if we have a dtd
John: You need to specify another dtd for MathML and RDFa
Steven: HTML5 don't like dtd's and use something else to validate
John: So we could do the same and
use schema
... Why is our xforms 1.0 schema not good enough
Steven: But no one uses plain XForms without a host language
John: But can't we put the XForms 1.0 and XHTML schema's together
Steven: This is what sidewinder did
John: What do we need to do put it on the main validator page
Steven: It should be fairly easy,
we just contact the right persone
... I really think we should take this higher, maybe even to
the AC
John: What is the escalation process
Steven: you should contact your AC-rep and send it to the AC-list
John: Did HTML5 did it like this
Steven: I think they took a shortcut
John: I think it is a mistake to
put an unfinished spec in the validator, bcz. then you can't
change it bcz. it is out there already
... The problem is that html 4 strict is always picked, bcz the
W3C doesn't says that you can use another dtd
... The outcome is that everybody interested should contact
their AC-rep
... In the meantime we can put on-line just a link that
validates XForms+XHTML
Steven: We can use what is behind http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv to do the validation
John: Is the validator open source
Steven: Sort of, the people that
own it are leaving next week
... A good person to talk with is Ian Jacobs
<John_Boyer> http://www.w3.org/QA/TheMatrix
John: There is a spec matrix that includes XForms 1.0 but doesn't includes XForms 1.1
<John_Boyer> http://www.w3.org/QA/
Steven: I think the QA group isn't active anymore
John: If they don't maintain W3C Spec matrix they should close it down
Steven: We could send a message to the communications team
<scribe> ACTION: Steven to send a message to the communications team asking to update the W3C Spec matrix at http://www.w3.org/QA/TheMatrix [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/26-forms-minutes.html#action03]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-500 - Send a message to the communications team asking to update the W3C Spec matrix at http://www.w3.org/QA/TheMatrix [on Steven Pemberton - due 2008-12-03].
<John_Boyer> 28<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2008Nov/0043.html>
<scribe> ACTION: John contact the validator team, the communications team and IBM's AC-rep about adding XForms + XHTML to the W3C validator [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/11/26-forms-minutes.html#action04]

John: There is maybe a problem
with id-resolution related to repeats
... The response from the XHTML WG is that we should just put
it in our spec, and it shouldn't be said in the access
module
Steven: The Access module shouldn't deal with repeats, it should be dealt with in the XForms spec bcz XForms introduces repeats. Moreover you have the same problem with css
John: If you want to do XHTML 2 with XForms, then you specify the id resolution there
Steven: If XForms expects to work with generic XML languages then XForms should specify this
John: We do this, maybe Access module can refer non-normative to XForms for the repeat id resolution
Steven: No other languages can do it in another way
John: Ok that is fine for me
Steven: John, can you hit the response link on the page
