13:58:01 [Steven]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2008Sep/0018.html
13:58:01 [oedipus]
SP: reply suggests that it is up to XML Vocabulary to decide what is URL - good answer, but need to say so in spec; emailed asking if could just state declaratively -- seem to have said "yes"
13:58:18 [oedipus]
SP: added comment which answers our comment perfectly well; accept?
13:58:33 [oedipus]
SM: what does this mean for RDFa?
13:58:42 [oedipus]
SP: if we say it applies, then it applies
13:58:47 [oedipus]
GJR: plus 1 to that
13:59:02 [oedipus]
SP: a CURIE should end up being relative URI once pre-processing done
13:59:11 [oedipus]
SM: in grammars that accept XML Base
13:59:14 [oedipus]
SP: yes, of course
13:59:23 [Steven]
zakim, who is noisy?
13:59:35 [Zakim]
Steven, listening for 10 seconds I heard sound from the following: Tina (57%)
13:59:47 [Steven]
zakim, mute tina
13:59:47 [Zakim]
Tina should now be muted
13:59:59 [oedipus]
SP: good answer - just say thank you for doing this
14:00:23 [oedipus]
SP: just received reply - why not accept w3c position on what constitutes a URI - conflict between syntax space and value space
14:01:01 [oedipus]
SP: don't mention value space, but that is answer we want -- answer is just "yes" if CURIE allowed as URI, then Base applies
14:01:06 [oedipus]

14:02:16 [oedipus]
SP: replied that it is only in the references
14:02:32 [oedipus]

14:04:43 [oedipus]
SP: commment 4: existing applications may break
14:05:31 [oedipus]
SP: may have been misunderstanding on our part - thought changing def of URI in Base (what is allowed in XML Base attribute) - was this change allowed to make to make PER rather than cycling through LC
14:06:09 [oedipus]
SP: response: never case XML Base values are URIs - change is not a normative change - change in reference
14:06:44 [oedipus]
RM: seems ok response to me
14:06:56 [oedipus]

Tina was not muted, oedipus
14:09:16 [oedipus]
TH: background: freenodes web channel - started writing XHTML primer that is value neutral vis a vis values and principles; been writing up, took time but last draft done yesterday
14:10:08 [oedipus]
TH: meant to be introduction to XHTML - explain where fits into web of today without taking political stance either way - suggests way of doing content negotiation, a bit of history and bit of detail; will end up in topic of #web channel at freenodes
14:10:18 [oedipus]
TH: happy with it - more comments appreciated
14:10:22 [oedipus]
SP: all should review it
14:10:30 [Tina]

14:10:42 [oedipus]
ACTION: Working Group - review Tina's XHTML primer
14:10:58 [oedipus]
TH: already passed by shane
14:11:41 [oedipus]
TH: need to revise with a bit about schema -- how to use to define if element can be child

14:12:07 [oedipus]
TH: hold back on publication for a week so can make changes
14:12:11 [oedipus]
RM: where published?
14:12:53 [oedipus]
TH: dev-archive -- took over css.nu (CSS info site) -- publishing documents there that aren't related to any specific company - neutral place to publish articles and documents
14:13:16 [oedipus]
TH: will stay at URL but not yet in index or atom feeds (http://www.dev-archive.net/articles/xhtml.html)
14:13:34 [oedipus]
TH: genesis: flame wars over XHTML - a lot of misunderstanding;
14:13:36 [oedipus]
SP: good work
14:14:00 [oedipus]
SP: part of spearhead action to undo some of the dammage done to XHTML through misinformation and misunderstanding
14:15:33 [oedipus]
SP: W3C at TPAC last year, presenter said 0.0% pages on web using XHTML -- spun the data - applications not served as appllication/xml but text/html when comes down pipe; analysis of pages on web found approximately half announcing themselves as XHTML; would be good if can make some announcement of that - 15% of top 20 web servers serve XHTML to undo some of the dammage
14:15:54 [oedipus]
SP: even had to disabuse TBL of XHTML as failure canard
14:16:13 [oedipus]
RM: what is it and why? a lot of pages not valid - why claim XHTML - what looking for in XHTML?
14:16:52 [oedipus]
SP: part of problem is UAs don't validate, so no message it is wrong; like a compiler - same attitude to web pages - chuck at browser and if works as intended, everyone is ok
14:17:17 [oedipus]
RM: BBC site comes out of often malformed server side
14:17:50 [oedipus]
TH: if send as XHTML this will happen, if send as text/html this will happen; a lot of use of XHTML as HTML which results in poor pages
14:17:56 [oedipus]
SP: hard to get feedback that it is wrong
14:18:30 [oedipus]
TH: need to explain that need to know what is doing with XHTML; XHTML Transitional doctype is being treated as HTML4; all authors know is use XHTML
14:18:53 [oedipus]
SP: similar to unicode - if character set is utf-8, many think have done their work, which isn't the case
14:19:20 [oedipus]
TH: point of article - need to know what you are doing when using XHTML - here is what you need to know
14:19:46 [oedipus]
TH: any comments, please send to me -- be as critical as necessary -- going to keep neutral
14:20:16 [oedipus]
SP: if not valid, it is not XHTML - no, is incorrect XHTML, but still XHTML;
14:20:38 [oedipus]
TH: problem with sending XHTML as HTML, XML parser doesn't get near it -- in that context it is HTML
14:21:11 [oedipus]
SP: as long as intention of page is adhered to, don't serve things as XHTML for browsers, but for XML pipeline that allows XML output at end
14:21:34 [oedipus]
RM: what are people's primary motivation? source serving PoV or delivery PoV
14:21:42 [oedipus]
TH: dev-access uses XHTML
14:22:27 [oedipus]
TH: transform XHTML using XSLT on dev-access
14:22:47 [oedipus]
TH: most people don't need XHTML to start with - large educational problem involved
14:23:11 [oedipus]
TH: have to get people to stop saying XHTML is evil - when used for purpose for which it was designed
14:23:43 [oedipus]
[fyi] Open Accessibility uses XHTML as normative format (so can support ARIA and RDFa)
14:23:56 [oedipus]
TH: a lot of people want absolutes
14:24:15 [oedipus]

14:25:51 [oedipus]
SM: very long comment
14:25:59 [oedipus]
SP: summarize how we should deal with comment
14:27:57 [oedipus]
SM: what is obligation - have to respond, but not address or satisfy all comments if cannot be satisfied?
14:28:07 [oedipus]
SP: have to check process on notes
14:28:12 [oedipus]
TH: can we simply thank him?
14:28:21 [oedipus]
RM: ought to take them on board
14:28:42 [oedipus]
TH: take points aboard
14:28:56 [oedipus]
SP: wrong about RFC 2119 terms -
14:29:03 [oedipus]
SM: talking about document, not abstract
14:29:14 [oedipus]
SP: says "this abstract sucks. it shouldn't use RFC 2119 terms"
14:29:32 [oedipus]
SM: document not normative, so nothing should be normative is basis of comments, i believe
14:29:54 [ShaneM]
zakim, mute Tina
14:29:54 [Zakim]
Tina should now be muted
14:30:17 [oedipus]
SP: dusting off to reflect experience with UAs knowing what to do with XML; summary should say "should" because is quote from specificiations
14:30:24 [oedipus]
SP: first comment i disagree with
14:30:42 [oedipus]
SM: next comment: "not normative" don't reference RFC 2119 -- remove and use non-RFC 2119 terms
14:30:56 [oedipus]
RM: if have no reference to RFC 2119, than "should" is just plain english
14:31:13 [Tina]
The question is: does the use of RFC 2119 references *do any harm*? Does it in any way CHANGE the content?
14:31:14 [oedipus]
SP: note's strength is that abstract contains capsule of note
14:31:43 [oedipus]
SP: since SPieters took trouble to comment, should reply in good faith and positively
14:32:12 [oedipus]
SM: from process persepective, for me to go through point-by-point, suggest resolutions and bring back to WG for discussion
14:32:21 [oedipus]
SM: M12n Rec is priority
14:32:51 [oedipus]
ACTION: Shane - review SimonP's comments point-by-point, suggest resolutions and bring back to WG for discussion
14:33:36 [oedipus]

14:33:39 [oedipus]

SM: requested transition meeting on Role a while ago
14:34:57 [oedipus]
SP: will chase that down
14:35:14 [oedipus]
SM: resolved to request CR on 9 july 2008 - cited in today's agenda
14:35:20 [oedipus]
SP: follow up on that

SM: dependency on CURIEs was one lingering issue
14:35:55 [oedipus]
TOPIC: CURIEs
14:36:39 [oedipus]
SM: did anyone follow discussion on CURIEs in RDFa task force -- jonathan rhys sent in comments on 30 August 2008 to RDFa task force (not copied to public-xhtml2)
14:37:00 [Steven]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2008Aug/0137.html
14:37:02 [oedipus]
SP: quick ping issue?
14:37:03 [oedipus]
SM: yes
14:37:22 [Steven]
Thread starts here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-in-xhtml-tf/2008Aug/0133.html
14:38:01 [oedipus]
SM: issue is JRhys believes need to define in CURIE spec the transformation fucntion to get from curie lexical space to curie value space - requirement of XML Schema Datatypes, so must be done; concrete comment against CURIEs need to resolve before request CR transition
14:38:14 [oedipus]
RM: only for base types, not derived types
14:38:22 [oedipus]
SP: quotes from post
14:38:33 [oedipus]
SM: required telecon to get this resolved in RDFa TF
14:38:43 [oedipus]
RM: built-in types?
14:38:52 [oedipus]
SM: comments about CURIE draft not RDFa
14:39:31 [oedipus]
SP: lexical space of CURIE is well defined syntaxically
14:40:04 [oedipus]
SP: transformed to URI by either sticking the prefix and postfix bits together (concatinating to form URI) - result must be in any URI
14:40:06 [oedipus]
SM: don't say that
14:40:10 [oedipus]
SP: we don't?
14:40:20 [oedipus]
SM: one place say has to be URI in another an IRI
14:40:25 [oedipus]
SM: also say value space is IRI
14:40:39 [oedipus]
SM: isn't XML Schema Datatypes 1.1 IRI is same as URI
14:40:53 [oedipus]
SP: thought IRI was syntaxical/lexical space and URI is value space
14:41:00 [oedipus]
SP: IRI cannot go over wire
14:41:07 [oedipus]
RM: described in URI/IRI spec
14:41:26 [oedipus]
SP: CURIEs transformed to IRI - when IRI gets sent over wire has to be transformed into URI
14:41:30 [oedipus]
SM: out of our hands
14:41:44 [oedipus]
SP: lexical comes from second transformation
14:42:08 [oedipus]
RM: transformation occurs in circumstances other than over-the-wire -- other cases where should be transformed from IRI to URI
14:42:22 [oedipus]
SP: IRI defines relationship
14:42:33 [oedipus]
SP: what does RDF expect? URIs or IRIs?
14:42:36 [oedipus]
SM: expects URIs
14:42:44 [oedipus]
SM: doesn't anticipate existence of IRIs
14:43:42 [oedipus]
SM: they are tokens, so almost doesn't matter; IRIs are lexical space in real world, and there is not a 1 to 1 mapping from IRI to URI - not isomorphic - many to one mapping -- more than one IRI representation
14:43:51 [oedipus]
SM: URIs are subset of IRIs
14:44:12 [oedipus]
SM: subtle angles-on-head-of-pin stuff -- wont' get this from discussion
14:45:02 [oedipus]
SM: if way to make clearer to get from lexical to value space and requirement of XML Schema than should take comment on
14:45:31 [oedipus]
SP: think i understand comment -- assumed good enough to say concatonate together and form an IRI, but surprised CURIE spec doesn't say that
14:45:34 [oedipus]
SM: it does
14:45:38 [oedipus]
SP: so what is problem?
14:46:11 [oedipus]
SM: not expressed in terms of XML Datatypes - no machine way to express concatonation
14:46:31 [oedipus]
SM: may be why in TAG some have argued for new datatype schema for this
14:46:41 [oedipus]
SM: is a tuple - doesn't concatonate
14:46:55 [oedipus]
SP: minute over -- need to go to another call
14:47:10 [oedipus]
RM: promised TAG by end of september
