- 20:32:37 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: basically, this is rolling in changes we made in SVGT1.2
- 20:33:09 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: it should be easy to do
- 20:34:08 [shepazu]
- Action: ChrisL to make funcURI consistent, and update tests
- 20:34:09 [trackbot]

- 20:39:56 [shepazu]
- jwatt: I was going to write an email about this...
- 20:40:25 [shepazu]
- ... maybe we need some custom error about removing items from the original list (readonly)
- 20:40:47 [shepazu]
- ... maybe we should have a "copy" method?
- 20:41:04 [shepazu]
- ... let's address this in the new DOM API
- 20:41:15 [shepazu]
- Resolution: move to SVG 2.0

- issue-2299?
- 20:41:22 [trackbot]
- ISSUE-2299 -- Text on a path layout rules unclear wrt startpoint-on-the-path and text-anchor -- RAISED
- 20:41:22 [trackbot]
- http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/track/issues/2299
- 20:42:13 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: I don't think they are contradictory, they seem to be saying the same thing in different ways
- 20:42:37 [shepazu]
- ... it's using "start point" for 2 different things...
- 20:43:03 [shepazu]
- ... it's talking about shifting the initial start point
- 20:43:37 [shepazu]
- ed: it's ambiguous enough that implementations all do different things
- 20:43:55 [shepazu]
- ... but I'm not sure it's critical for SVG 1.1 2nd ed.
- 20:47:33 [shepazu]
- shepazu: I want this fixed because it's important... could we start a 3rd edition errata in addition to SVG 2.0?
- 20:47:49 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: we could do... we need to test all of this better, too
- 20:49:43 [shepazu]
- ed: one way to start off easy is to have a straight line as the textPath for tests that describe the start point
- 20:49:48 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: good idea
- 20:51:22 [shepazu]
- resolution: keep as SVG 1.1 3rd edition errata, but duplicate for SVG 2.0, to make sure it's addressed in both
- 20:52:21 [shepazu]

- 20:57:59 [shepazu]
- Topic: list activity
- 20:58:50 [shepazu]
- ed: discussion about transforms, getIntersectionList, DOM constructors, image clarification, z-index
- 20:59:35 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: I wonder if alex addressed this to their satisfaction?
- 20:59:46 [shepazu]
- ... a good example might help
- 21:00:44 [ChrisL]
- suppose a filter brings in a greyscale image with feimage, then we do an rgb fecomponenttransfer. that should work
- 21:00:50 [ChrisL]
- it wont give an error
- 21:01:07 [ChrisL]
- so that is what "as it its promoted to RGBA" means
- 21:01:14 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: when we say, "implement as if...", then things that fall out of the model still have to work
- 21:02:14 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: action to respond to image clarification email with concrete example
- 21:02:35 [shepazu]
- Action: ChrisL to respond to image clarification email with concrete example
- 21:02:35 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-2698 - Respond to image clarification email with concrete example [on Chris Lilley - due 2009-11-30].
- 21:03:31 [shepazu]
- ed: anthony addressed the transforms issues
- 21:04:31 [shepazu]
- ed: Dr. Olaf pointed to his older email... did we address this?
- 21:04:36 [shepazu]
- anthony: not sure
- 21:06:11 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: Dr. Olaf raised a good point, CSS didn't consider animation when they specified angles, which need to be normalized, and since they now have animation this affects them too... we should raise this with the CSS WG
- 21:08:29 [shepazu]
- anthony: I'll take a crack at replying to Dr. Olaf
- 21:11:12 [shepazu]
- Topic: DOM constructors
- 21:11:34 [anthony]
- scribe: anthony
- 21:11:58 [anthony]
- DS: Just started off with basically describing
- 21:12:05 [anthony]
- ... what we had proposed
- 21:12:14 [anthony]
- ... because he didn't read the proposal page
- 21:12:25 [anthony]
- ... just ready the 'what sort of problems we have' page
- 21:13:07 [anthony]
- ... he also proposed that we use the innerHTML method for larger document fragments
- 21:13:40 [anthony]
- ... and Brois said that innerHTML has been optimised because browsers have to parse already
- 21:13:47 [anthony]
- ... so that's one thing they optermise for
- 21:14:40 [anthony]
- ... Boris seemed to be have mixed responses about sending in a property tag for element constructors would help the performance
- 21:15:00 [shepazu]
- s/property tag/property bag object/
- 21:16:03 [anthony]
- ... I definitely under the impression from taking to implementers that setting attributes individually was a huge performance hit
- 21:16:53 [shepazu]
- ChrisL: if it's done right, it should be a performance gain, and is never a performance hit
- 21:16:57 [anthony]
- CL: It can be an atomic operation
- 21:17:07 [shepazu]
- shepazu: and it's much nicer for authoring
- 21:17:07 [anthony]
- DS: It's much nicer for authors
- 21:18:25 [shepazu]
- shepazu: Jeff may not have considered the issue of the namespace of an element when he criticized using createElement as an element method
- 21:19:31 [shepazu]
- shepazu: jwatt, what's your impression?
- 21:20:11 [shepazu]
- jwatt: boris seemed to refute some of the performance points that Jeff pointed to
- 21:20:33 [shepazu]
- ... but it's about ease of authoring, not so much performance
- 21:21:09 [shepazu]
- ... boris says it's hard to predict performance
- 21:21:14 [ed]
- http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#html-fragment-parsing-algorithm
- 21:21:58 [shepazu]
- ed: have we verified that innerHTML would work with SVG?
- 21:21:59 [shepazu]
- ... I'm reading it, and it doesn't seem great for SVG
- 21:22:38 [shepazu]
- jwatt: I can test it, don't know offhand
- 21:23:06 [shepazu]
- action: jwatt to test innerHTML for applicability to SVG
- 21:23:06 [trackbot]
- Created ACTION-2699 - to test innerHTML for applicability to SVG [on Jonathan Watt - due 2009-11-30].
- 21:24:54 [shepazu]
- shepazu: speaking of this, what's the standard way of doing ASV's printNode?
- 21:25:08 [shepazu]
- jwatt: I have a wrapper
- 21:25:14 [jwatt]
- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/wrappers.js
- 21:25:41 [shepazu]
- ed: maybe for innerHTML, it needs to be put into the foreign-content mode...
- 21:26:01 [shepazu]
- ... otherwise you have to wrap everything in <svg>

- 21:33:20 [ed]
- so test <font>, <video>, <audio>, <textArea>... any others?
- 21:34:09 [shepazu]
- jwatt: about the F2F... I'm probably not coming
- 21:34:39 [shepazu]
- ... mozilla thinks 4 meetings a year is too frequent
- 21:35:06 [shepazu]
- shepazu: actually, I think it's 3 meetings a year now
- 21:37:28 [shepazu]
- shepazu: maybe we should examine who would be able to attend
- 21:37:51 [shepazu]
