Bert, your edits for issue 108 doesn't make counter-increment: none 3 foo 4; invalid

Bert, it just says authors must not write that
15:58:19 [annevk]
annevk has left #css
15:58:23 [fantasai]
Bert, since it doesn't say it's invalid, there's no requirement that UAs ignore such declarations
15:58:41 [fantasai]
also I'm not seeing that wording in a post to www-style...
15:58:51 [Bert]
One at a time, I'm still looking at 102...

Page counters

elika: defining interactions between counters does complicate things
16:10:30 [glazou]
sorry, I'm totally unable to call, my phone and SIP are both dead at this time
16:10:50 [fantasai]
Skype!
16:10:58 [sylvaing]
melinda: if we don't define counter interactions, we can't handle certain scenarios....
16:11:00 [glazou]
fantasai: I tried...
16:11:06 [fantasai]
s/nooooo/agreed/
16:11:46 [sylvaing]
melinda: there were issues with using section numbers in document headers
16:12:39 [sylvaing]
fantasai: use cases that were not working without counter interactions: footnote counter that resets on every page but incremented by elements in the document
16:12:39 [fantasai]
fantasai: no, that was covered already
16:12:48 [Zakim]
+ +95089aacc
16:13:21 [sylvaing]
fantasai: also chapter-level counters that increase with every page in the chapter but reset at the next chapter (?)
16:13:37 [sylvaing]
hakon: agree with the footnote scenario, that is important. not sure whether it needs to be so complex
16:14:25 [fantasai]
dbaron: I'm surprised it's so simple, given how complicated some of the counters stuff is :)
16:14:55 [sylvaing]
plinss: aside from general complexity, are there specific issues to be addressed ?
16:15:29 [glazou_]
glazou_ has joined #css
16:17:57 [sylvaing]
hakon: proposal: for any named counter, only allow interaction for the oldest one
16:18:12 [sylvaing]
fantasai: counter name hiding is not the complex issue but the nesting of elements
16:18:47 [sylvaing]
dbaron: I haven't looked at the proposal yet.
16:18:50 [fantasai]
and multiple break points
16:18:52 [fantasai]
at the same page break
16:18:58 [sylvaing]
melinda: we should take a week to think about this further.
16:19:45 [sylvaing]
fantasai: this proposal is actually the second iteration (after melinda shot down the first one)
16:20:05 [sylvaing]
plinss: can we elaborate on how the proposal evolved to its current stage ?
16:20:55 [sylvaing]
fantasai describes the proposal's rules
16:21:10 [sylvaing]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Apr/0227.html
16:22:19 [dbaron]
It's worth being careful that the multiple break point rule doesn't kick in when an element crosses three pages.
16:22:55 [sylvaing]
fantasai: first rule deals wit the general simple case; second rule with multiple break points
16:24:34 [sylvaing]
fantasai: I would really like to hear from Michael Day(Antenna House) and David Baron on this proposal
16:25:01 [sylvaing]
melinda: we have implementations that do what we want, the spec should match them
16:25:15 [sylvaing]
fantasai: I would postpone this discussion until we hear back from AH and Prince

16:27:14 [sylvaing]
fantasai: i'm waiting for feedback on most of these open issues
16:28:33 [sylvaing]
fantasai: we can probably close issue 28 as no change
16:28:58 [sylvaing]
fantasai: people seem to like color fallback so we may keep the feature but change the syntax
16:29:09 [sylvaing]
fantasai: only two conclusions I have at this point
16:29:23 [sylvaing]
hakon: I'd like to find a way to clip the center image
16:29:49 [sylvaing]
fantasai: none of the authors that have given feedback so far think this is worth making border-image more complex
16:29:56 [sylvaing]
hakon: but i'm an author too :)
16:30:43 [sylvaing]
hakon: this is so easy to do now; without it you need to do Photoshop work
16:30:56 [sylvaing]
hakon to look at the proposal again...
16:31:07 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
16:31:39 [sylvaing]
bert: I prefer simplicity so I would not mind dropping the feature
16:32:08 [sylvaing]
hakon: it is a slight increase in complexity that saves a frequent work item
16:32:35 [sylvaing]
hakon: in fact, why not specify when you want to keep the center image i.e. the default should be to clip it
16:33:17 [fantasai]
s/dropping/not adding/
16:33:30 [sylvaing]
hakon: the default today is that unless you use a manual tool you're not really getting a border anymore
16:33:58 [sylvaing]
bert: but how do you define the slicing of that image into 9 proper pieces without some editing work
16:34:07 [sylvaing]
fantasai suggests a straw poll
16:34:51 [sylvaing]
plinss: if you force the author to use transparency, you force them to choose a particular format
16:35:19 [sylvaing]
plinss: another use case, the author want the same image to be used in two places, one of which includes the center but not the other
16:36:21 [sylvaing]
hakon: this is not about graphical feature creep but the default behavior of this property

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Apr/0099.html
16:40:58 [sylvaing]
fantasai: I'd like to adopt dbaron's proposal; it's straightforward
16:41:34 [dbaron]
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#column-alignment
16:42:24 [sylvaing]
bert: what is the exact issue ?
16:42:43 [sylvaing]
dbaron: some people think this section means text-align applies to columns
16:43:08 [sylvaing]
dbaron: the text does not specify which elements the property applies to and the title implies that it may apply to table columns
16:43:23 [sylvaing]
fantasai: dbaron's proposal is to clearly disambiguate this
16:44:07 [sylvaing]
bert: change seems ok. but is not absolutely necessary
16:44:27 [sylvaing]
plinss, fantasai: editorial change. no conflict with implementations.
16:44:40 [sylvaing]
plinss: objections ?
16:45:00 [sylvaing]
szilles: no objection to the change, but not sure it fixes the problem
16:45:26 [sylvaing]
plinss: we're not changing any behavior just clarifying interpretation
16:46:45 [sylvaing]
RESOLVED: dbaron's proposal accepted (Issue-112)
16:46:48 [fantasai]
http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-113
16:47:03 [sylvaing]
fantasai: we discussed this at the F2F
16:48:14 [sylvaing]
I requested an && syntax operator to the values and units module and it was requested that we also add it to 2.1
16:48:55 [sylvaing]
hakon does not like having this in CSS3 values and units; should it go into 2.1 syntax ?
16:49:16 [sylvaing]
plinss: I have no issues with putting this in 2.1
16:49:38 [sylvaing]
bert: it doesn't hurt 2.1 since it's not used
16:49:51 [sylvaing]
bert: ...by 2.1
16:50:04 [sylvaing]
melinda: would we be able to qualify it ?
16:50:13 [sylvaing]
fantasai: editorial change, does not define a feature
16:50:16 [sylvaing]
hakon: agree
16:51:05 [sylvaing]
szilles: if this is an editorial change, a note clarifying that this notation is specified for completeness but unused
16:51:57 [sylvaing]
s/a note/i suggest a note
16:52:10 [emilyw]
emilyw has joined #css
16:53:45 [sylvaing]
szilles: it would helpful to have examples to describe it
16:53:54 [sylvaing]
s/helpful/be helpful
16:54:29 [sylvaing]
RESOLVED: add && to list of value syntax operators (http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-113)
16:55:00 [sylvaing]
szilles can do without the note but would like a clear usage example

17:07:17 [fantasai]

17:10:28 [anne]
fantasai, the overall idea is eliminating one magic list, defining exactly how matching works in HTML in a way that works for HTML+SVG+MathML too and is consistent with the plan for solving that in the DOM, and making HTML and XHTML more consistent; it also means that parsing a style sheet would no longer depend on whether it is associated with an HTML or XML document
17:10:51 [fantasai]
parsing a style sheet is not supposed to depend on whether it's associated with an HTML or XML document
17:11:01 [fantasai]
I don't see anything about the magic list in hsivonen's email
17:11:08 [anne]
that's in my e-mail
17:11:18 [anne]
parsing and matching is intertwined in impl
17:11:19 [fantasai]
that's an issue for HTML to solve
17:11:26 [anne]
but read matching where I said parsing if you wish
17:11:30 [fantasai]
Selectors says it follows the case-sensitivity of the language
17:12:12 [fantasai]
the whole DOM issue seems like a mess
17:12:29 [fantasai]
anyway
17:12:38 [fantasai]
I do not agree with Selectors requiring lower-casing of tag selectors
17:13:11 [anne]
you keep two tag tokens around, one lowercase and one input case
17:13:17 [anne]
and which you use depends on the namespace
17:13:25 [fantasai]
I'm not talking about implementation details
17:13:29 [fantasai]
I'm talking about the spec
17:13:34 [anne]
you could phrase it as a matching requirement
17:13:58 [anne]
which you use matters
17:13:59 [fantasai]
which is intended to be general enough that it works for HTML4, HTML5, XML, and FooImaginaryLanguage
17:14:23 [anne]
e.g. does {XHTML namespace, HTML} match html or not
17:14:33 [fantasai]
no, because XML is case-sensitive
17:14:43 [anne]
I'm not talking about XML
17:14:53 [fantasai]
oh, in the HTML DOM?
17:15:11 [anne]
Selectors match against a DOM
17:15:25 [anne]
per HTML5 HTML elements end up in a namespace
17:15:26 [fantasai]
that'll depend on whether the DOM considers it case-sensitive
17:15:42 [fantasai]
is {XHTML namespace, html} the same type of element as {XHTML namespace, HTML}?
17:15:46 [fantasai]
if yes, then they'll match
17:15:49 [fantasai]
if no, then they won't
17:15:58 [anne]
right
17:16:01 [fantasai]
if it's not defined, it's not Selectors' place to define it
17:16:10 [anne]
but {XHTML namespace, html} HTML has to match
17:16:19 [anne]
and at that point it becomes a Selectors problem
17:16:33 [fantasai]
ok, back up a sec
17:16:45 [fantasai]
did the spec change to say that HTML elements in HTML documents create XHTML DOM nodes?
17:16:57 [anne]
there's no such thing as XHTML DOM nodes
17:17:03 [anne]
there's just DOM nodes
17:17:19 [anne]
HTML DOM vs XML DOM is some fiction that was never really adopted
17:17:21 [dbaron]
Our "internal DOM" has an IsCaseSensitive() method on nodes.
17:17:30 [dbaron]
I think you pretty much have to.
17:17:37 [anne]
hsivonen is removing a bunch of that
17:17:52 [dbaron]
He's fixing the namespace disaster that I was against from the start.
17:17:57 [dbaron]
But I don't think he's removing IsCaseSensitive()
17:18:15 [dbaron]
I don't see how we could distinguish tag matching without that.
17:18:24 [dbaron]
We're not going to make "BODY { color: green}" stop working
17:18:25 [anne]
based on namespace
17:18:42 [dbaron]
I think that's a bad idea
17:18:50 [anne]
for the XHTML namespace you always match lowercase
17:19:01 [dbaron]
So you're saying we should make "BODY { color: green} " match <xhtml:body> in an XML document?
17:19:01 [anne]
it's pretty neat I think
17:19:17 [anne]
that'd be a side effect
17:19:25 [fantasai]
no
17:19:28 [fantasai]
we are not doing that
17:19:30 [dbaron]
I think that's a bad idea.
17:19:32 [anne]
why?
17:19:43 [dbaron]
It's 10 years too late.
17:19:55 [anne]
we do it on the DOM side
17:19:57 [dbaron]
and XML is case-sensitive
17:20:10 [anne]
sure, it remains case-sensitive
17:20:19 [dbaron]
case-insensitivity is a pain
17:20:25 [anne]
it's just the selection mechanism has namespace specific knowledge
17:20:39 [dbaron]
where do you do it on the DOM side?
17:20:45 [anne]
getElementsByTagName
17:20:57 [dbaron]
ugh
17:21:04 [anne]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Apr/0081.html
17:21:27 [anne]
outlines the general idea
17:21:58 [anne]
i think that's the only sane solution here, but i'm open to suggestions
17:22:33 [fantasai]
tag selectors in a CSS style sheet applied to an XML document should match any elements in that document case-sensitively
17:23:05 [fantasai]
I don't care how you explain the implementation concept, but I'm opposed to anything that changes that
17:23:05 [sylvaing]
sylvaing has joined #css
17:23:12 [anne]
the proposal is to change that
17:23:18 [fantasai]
then I'm against the proposal
17:23:52 [anne]
i don't see why Selectors should be different from the DOM in this respect
17:24:23 [anne]
it only affects HTML elements in XML documents
17:25:10 [fantasai]
look, I don't care what you define for weird DOM manipulating ECMAScripted edgecases
17:25:52 [fantasai]
that import nodes from one type of document to another and other twisted things like that
17:26:27 [anne]
with HTML elements I mean XHTML elements as well, to be clear
17:26:27 [fantasai]
but on a straight-up parse from the XML
17:26:40 [fantasai]
selector matching should be case-sensitive
17:27:07 [fantasai]
This testcase: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/current/xhtml/tests/css3-modsel-181.xml
17:27:11 [fantasai]
should remain valid
17:27:13 [fantasai]
whatever you do
17:27:19 [anne]
i think the model where Selectors matches the same regardless of HTML or XML is more clean
17:27:58 [fantasai]
you are entitled to your opinions
17:28:49 [fantasai]
but you are not entitled to changing behavior that has been clearly specced and interoperably implemented for practically a decade
17:28:58 [fantasai]
without a better reason than aesthetics
17:29:33 [anne]
it makes the platform more consistent
17:29:42 [anne]
because DOM matching doesn't depend on some silly HTML/XML flag
17:30:09 [anne]
and conforming XHTML elements are lowercase anyway
17:30:27 [fantasai]
and don't match uppercase selectors anyway
17:31:57 [anne]
only for textArea is that a practical issue
17:32:34 [fantasai]
anne, we are not changing the behavior of that testcase

since when do you authority over this?
17:33:20 [anne]
have*
17:33:32 [anne]
this does not seem like a reasonable debate to me
17:33:38 [anne]
i'll bow out
17:34:09 [fantasai]
anne, if you want to bring it to the WG, feel free
17:34:17 [fantasai]
anne, but you will not get a positive response there
17:34:46 [fantasai]
anne, there are too many implementations that pass that test case already
17:35:38 [fantasai]
anne, if you want, I'll even keep quiet during the whole debate that ensues
17:35:51 [anne]
and several might be ok with failing that test as indicated on the list
17:35:55 [anne]
anyway, we'll see
17:36:11 [anne]
what dbaron proposed could work too

maybe some pulp fiction IE abuse is in order: http://www.elliottkember.com/ie.html
17:44:40 [anne]
lol
17:45:06 [anne]
i love that movie
17:46:10 [sylvaing]
totally
17:47:00 [sylvaing]
kind of love the view-source idea on that page too
17:47:48 [fantasai]
Bert, issues 102 and 103 closed
17:47:53 [fantasai]
Bert, let me know when you complete the rest
18:11:24 [Bert]
Fantasai, what else do I need to complete?
18:11:57 [fantasai]
Issue 85 - fixing typos
18:12:06 [fantasai]
Issue 94 - placement of example
18:12:11 [fantasai]
maybe you did these?
18:12:18 [fantasai]
I didn't check them because you didn't say you did
18:12:27 [Bert]
I believe so, let me check if I uploaded them...
18:12:27 [fantasai]
Issue 100 - copying wording from css3-background
18:12:39 [fantasai]
btw, I didn't check 104
18:12:43 [fantasai]
if you could double-check that for me
18:12:47 [fantasai]
I don't really know what to look for
18:12:54 [fantasai]
issue 105
18:13:00 [fantasai]
Issue 108
18:14:19 [Bert]
I think 100 is done. I copied what was needed according to the issue, I don't think we should change something just to make it better.
18:15:27 [Bert]
94 indeed already uploaded.
18:16:10 [Bert]
85 also
18:17:08 [Bert]
Double-checking 104...
18:18:47 [Bert]
(I noticed while editing 104 that Yves and I already proposed a different, but equivalent change some time ago. A little shorter, but not much.)
18:20:40 [fantasai]
Bert, the 85 fix didn't make it to Changes or Errata
18:22:05 [Bert]
We should really stop changing CSS 2.1, if only because it's such a pain to edit a spec and a changes section and an errata list :-(
18:22:23 [fantasai]
hehehe
18:22:32 [fantasai]
Bert, Issue 94 didn't make it to the Changes list
18:22:52 [fantasai]
or Errata
18:25:08 [Bert]
Double-checked 104.
18:27:56 [Bert]
I see 85 in the errata and in the changes...
18:28:20 [Bert]
althjough it would look better to merge C.5.8 with C.5.7.

18:50:24 [Bert]
85 and 94 updated in errata and changes. 105 seems OK. 108 uses the exact text I sent to www-style; nobody asked for it to be changed.
18:53:35 [fantasai]
you could also do 112 while I check :)
18:55:42 [fantasai]
Bert, well, ok but I don't think your text actually fixes the issue for 108
18:58:12 [fantasai]
oh, there's another change
18:58:18 [Bert]
The issue was whether 'none' could be a counter name. It now says, in two places, that it cannot. What else is needed?
19:00:11 [fantasai]
I'll let it slide
19:01:58 [fantasai]
Bert: should I close Issue 104 then?
19:08:12 [Bert]
Yes, 104 can be closed.
19:08:28 [Bert]
112 is being generated, should be uploaded in a minute or two.
19:38:39 [fantasai]
Bert, wrt feature requirements for border-image
19:38:56 [fantasai]
the bullet about drawing the outside edge of the border image
19:39:05 [fantasai]
should say "at or beyond" rather than "at the border edge"
19:40:59 [Bert]
Did anybody request "beyond"?
19:41:24 [fantasai]
yes
19:41:33 [fantasai]
that was one of the major points in the discussion over Brad Kemper's propsoal
19:41:45 [fantasai]
s/propsoal/proposal/
19:41:51 [fantasai]
and one of the key features in it
19:43:23 [fantasai]
Checked in an example for &&
19:43:32 [fantasai]
to css3-background
19:43:37 [fantasai]
you can use it to edit Issue 113
19:48:21 [Bert]
Borders outside the borders: seems rather over-engineered.
19:48:32 [Bert]
borde-rimage was nice because i wa ssimple.
19:48:46 [Bert]
Now it's no longer simple. I'd rather drop the whole property :-(
19:49:53 [fantasai]
you probably should take a good look at the examples in http://www.bradclicks.com/cssplay/border-image/Thinking_Outside_The_Box.html
19:50:03 [fantasai]
they show why it's necessary
19:50:07 [fantasai]
anyway
19:50:24 [Bert]
No, they show that Brad has a lot of fantasy.
19:50:37 [fantasai]
112 still hasn't made it to w3.org
19:50:48 [fantasai]
did you check it in yet?
19:51:27 [Bert]
I can see it.
19:52:14 [fantasai]
oh
19:52:15 [fantasai]
yeah
19:52:21 [fantasai]
I can see the text change too
19:52:26 [fantasai]
but the title hasn't been changed
19:52:30 [fantasai]

19:58:37 [Bert]
The title wasn't part of David's proposal, just a "perhaps." The change itself already wasn't necessary, the change of the title even less. It would have been good in 1997, but now it just causes confusion.
19:59:51 [fantasai]
alright, fine
20:00:31 [fantasai]
next time, I'm going to insist on us being excruciatingly precise about which bits of a proposal we're accepting when we accept a proposal
20:00:46 [fantasai]
I was under the impression that both changes were accepted
20:09:45 [fantasai]
Alright, those issues closed
20:09:49 [fantasai]
113 and you're done :)
20:11:12 [fantasai]
Bert, let me know when you're done with 113
20:31:39 [sylvaing]
(fwiw, the scribe thought both changes were accepted as well)
