17:05:08 Title: HTML 5: The Markup Language (at www.w3.org)
17:05:14 q+
17:05:30 Sam: I propose we publish http://www.w3.org/html/wg/markup-spec/
17:05:31 Title: HTML 5: The Markup Language (at www.w3.org)
17:05:41 +Shawn_Medero
17:06:00 hsivonen: I object to publishing it as a normative spec; it's valuable, but having 2 normative documents is a problem...
17:06:31 ... also, markup-spec basically includes the schema from validator.nu , and I don't think it should be normative
17:06:40 MikeSmith has joined #html-wg
17:07:03 ... if it weren't my schema, I would like that, so on behalf of potential competitors, I don't think we should do that
17:07:07 billyjackass has joined #html-wg
17:07:40 Zakim, call-Mike-Mobile
17:07:40 I don't understand 'call-Mike-Mobile', billyjackass
17:07:48 I object to publishing the markup-spec, it hasn't been reviewed by the group. There are other reasons for objecting, but I would rather discuss in email
17:08:26 Sam: I hear your arguments; neither this doc nor the HTML 5 spec enjoys consensus; do you think your argument should prevent publication?
17:08:26 depends on the definition of "publish"
17:08:42 Zakim, call Mike-Mobile
17:08:42 ok, MikeSmith; the call is being made
17:08:43 +Mike
17:08:54 q+ to ask naively why does this document exist? what is its relationship to the HTML5 spec as submitted to W3C
17:09:04 ack h
17:09:16 hsivonen: publishing as WD suggests an eventual REC, yes?
17:09:17 The spec has been discussed at length by the group though
17:09:35 Zakim, who's on the phone?
17:09:35 On the phone I see Masinter, Julian, Sam, Matt_May, DanC, Cynthia_Shelly, hsivonen, Shepazu, Gregory_Rosmaita, adrianba, ChrisWilson, Shawn_Medero, Mike
17:09:40 q?
17:09:57 [missed some; hope it wasn't essential technical stuff]
17:10:11 publishing the spec is in the charter, it's not a new concept like the "markup-spec"
17:10:39 ack me
17:10:39 oedipus, you wanted to ask naively why does this document exist? what is its relationship to the HTML5 spec as submitted to W3C
17:10:48 mailing-list++
17:11:34 Sam: the HTML 5 spec has a number of things that are controversial; the TAG asked us to look at other approaches, and this is one... the proposal to publish isn't a guarantee of its outcome
17:11:36 q+
17:11:56 GJR: note or REC track?
17:12:21 Sam: regarding 2 normative specs, I think competition would be healthy
17:12:30 ... we can continue to discuss this proposal in the mailing list
17:13:09 q+
17:13:14 IIRC, it isn't a proper subset
17:13:17 Julian: my understanding is that the html-markup spec is derived not only from the validator.nu schema but also text from the HTML 5 spec. it has sections pulled from the HTML 5 spec
17:13:30 ack Julian
17:13:43 Sam, the HTML WG, has never decided if we need a markup-spec, so I don't think it's appropriate to publish
17:14:04 ack masinter
17:14:10 q+
17:14:25 Masinter: are people objecting to discussion of publication?
17:14:39 marcos has joined #html-wg
17:14:39 It all arose from misinformation (like most things)
17:15:53 I wasn't joking
17:16:02 :)
17:16:15 DanC: I understand the proposal to be to publish, not to discuss publishing. This WG takes several days between when questions are put and when the outcome of the decision is announced
17:16:29 Sam: I'd like to have a high bar for objections...
17:16:32 when did it become something that was even a potential deliverable (the intro says it is not an agreed deliverable of the group)? going straight from "not a deliverable" to "publish this" seems a leap, to me...
17:16:53 hear hear
17:16:55 DanC: well, whether a WG participant objects is up to that participant, right? I understand hsivonen to have objected, formally...
17:17:03 Doug: on behalf o Mozilla?
17:17:05 DanC: yes
17:17:12 HSivonen: as a validator.nu developer
17:17:21 -Gregory_Rosmaita
17:17:30 mattmay has joined #html-wg
17:17:55 really concerned about having two specs and having to deal with contradictions, explain their relationship, and so on...what is the proposed publication status?
17:18:06 +Gregory_Rosmaita
17:18:11 (I understand Sam to have proposed status of WD)
17:18:43 q+
17:18:46 Sam: hsivonen, pls elaborate on your objection?
17:19:26 hsivonen: having a normative specification built from a schema seems circular. [scribe doesn't think he got the gist of that]
17:20:12 (I should have sent mail... I wonder about publishing Mike's doc as a NOTE called "A schema-based description of HTML 5"; but I'm not sure I should muddy the waters now...)
17:20:45 Mike: it's currently in sync what validator.nu, but that's not an essential constraint
17:20:53 +1 to sam on moving on
17:20:56 I believe that the W3C has been sending mixed messages to people about what the HTML5 spec is, and what's in scope, and this IMO is how the request arose for a "markup-spec". So, IMO there is no need for such a document, it contridicts the main spec.
17:20:57 q- masinter
17:21:01 circular as in bugs in hsivonen's schema become bugs in the spec if the spec is generated from the schema (which become non-bugs since by definition it is correct behavior)?
17:21:03 q- DanC
17:21:26 Topic: ISSUE-65: HTML 5 spec update after 10 June 2008
17:21:34 the schema becoming out of sync with validator.nu would invoke my previous objection :-)
17:21:37 Sam: note proposal to publish http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-wg-announce/2009JanMar/0012.html
17:21:40 Title: ACTION-95, ISSUE-65: Plan to publish a new WD of HTML-5 from Chris Wilson on 2009-01-22 (public-html-wg-announce@w3.org from January to March 2009) (at lists.w3.org)
17:21:48 ...thinks an informative documen might be useful, but a normative one bad...
17:21:52 Sam: any objections?
17:22:09 I think Mike's work should be incorpororated into the main spec.
17:22:13 Topic: ISSUE-54 (doctype-legacy-compat)
17:22:23 pointer to emessage please
17:22:27 Sam: we seem to have consensus around a recent proposal...
17:22:45 hsivonen: proposing 2 valid doctypes: , as current, and ...
17:22:57 (also constraints hsivonen some day prefers to implement in java instead of schema become undefined in the spec if the spec is generated from the schema)
17:22:59 q+
17:23:06 ...

17:23:51 +1 hold off, "about:" scheme is unregistered
17:23:51 ack Julian
17:24:15 How about a tag: URI?
17:24:19 q+
17:24:38 ack danc
17:24:38 DanC, you wanted to request registration about:
17:24:57 Julian: the alternate doctype should be accepted as valid, otherwise there's no point in adding it.
17:25:01 tag:w3.org,2009-01:sgml-compat or some-such
17:25:14 DanC: I'm happy to consider this done provided someone volunteers to get about: registered as a URI scheme
17:25:26 MikeSmith has joined #html-wg
17:25:26 Masinter: that could be tricky... might need a registry of values
17:25:32 hober: That seems too long
17:25:36 hober, that date is dangerously close to a version number
17:25:45 action-91 due next week
17:25:45 ACTION-91 Propose 'legacy-compat' and report on feedback due date now next week
17:25:46 RRSAgent, make minutes
17:25:46 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2009/01/22-html-wg-minutes.html MikeSmith
17:25:54 IIRC you need at least the year, so I guess s/-01// would work too

17:26:20 Topic: ISSUE-13 (handling-http-401-status)
17:26:25 RRSAgent, make log public
17:26:30 putting a date in there means you have to google for it (because it's impossible to remember all magic dates in doctypes, namespaces, etc)
17:26:48 Masinter: I'd like us to review http [?]
17:26:52 q+
17:27:00 q-
17:27:17 ... we talked about taking origin out... should we do that here?
17:27:19 title: HTML WG weekly telcon
17:27:25 chair: Sam Ruby
17:27:31 DanC: I gather Hickson took the 401 stuff out after some experimentation
17:27:37 Julian: yes, that text is gone...
17:27:39 thanks, that was my question
17:27:55 ... I've been following Thomas Broyer's IETF ID; I gather a new draft is in progress
17:28:05 alexf has joined #html-wg
17:28:20 q+
17:28:29 julain: what would a decision to postpone mean?
17:28:45 Sam: I'd move this back to RAISED if we don't have a concrete proposal
17:29:01 s/julain:/Julian:/
17:29:55 DanC: when I proposed to postpone, I meant "not in HTML5", i.e. RESOLVED WONTFIX
17:30:17 Masinter: seems addressed elsewhere, to me
17:31:51 DanC: how does Thomas Broyer's proposal work? browser builder interest?
17:32:10 Julian: aside from a bug in opera, it doesn't require any browser builder changes
17:32:24 Julian: it introduces a 'cookie' auth scheme...
17:32:40 -hsivonen
17:32:58 I'd like to move on in a minute or two...
17:33:13 doesn't sound like the status is CLOSED or PENDING
17:33:20 s/PENDING/POSTPONED/
17:33:32 (I can't seem to get Julain to tell me who is in the critical path for deployment. who changes from 200 to 4xx? webmasters? any big webmasters lined up to do this?)
17:33:34 alexf has left #html-wg
17:34:13 Sam: so we can move this back to RAISED until further work is available
17:34:31 action-86 due 1 June 2009
17:34:31 ACTION-86 Review Thomas Broyer's IETF ID to see if we can postpone ISSUE-13 due date now 1 June 2009

17:35:04 Matt: yes, the WAI coordination group met and decided to put something to draft a position... in a couple weeks
17:35:13 DanC, users of web servers would need to change their code to return 401/WWW-Authenticate: Cookie instead of 200.
17:35:21 meeting: HTML WG weekly telcon
17:35:30 Sam: lacking a concrete proposal, let's move this issue to RAISED, OK?
17:36:03 ACTION-98 due 5 Feb 2009
17:36:03 ACTION-98 Discuss missing-alt with the WAI CG and report back due date now 5 Feb 2009
17:36:07 change Issue-31 state to RAISED and move the date on action-98 out two weeks, any objections?
