17:06:26 <Vlad> scribenick: skef
17:07:19 <skef> First discussion: Integrating client state into the client table in the font
17:07:31 <skef> There is a PR with the changes
17:07:55 <skef> We now have a format for the data
17:08:26 <skef> Request and response descriptions are modified accordingly
17:08:29 <skef> Response is much simpler
17:09:08 <skef> Overall Garret considers the changes positive relative to spec complexity
17:09:17 <skef> Possible further changes:
17:10:02 <skef> Considering having the client state object attached to the request rather than unpacking and mixing the fields as they are now
17:10:40 <skef> Skef agrees that would be a good change
17:11:46 <skef> (Might need special handling for the codepoint_ordering field.)
17:12:47 <skef> Second topic: Future of VCDiff in spec as a required implementation
17:14:54 <skef> Skef worried about the complexity of Brotli, and also the modularity of the implementations
17:17:35 <skef> Vlad worried about optional spec parts, favors making Brotli mandatory
17:24:15 <skef> Brotli font-aware patch compression: Finding the related parts of the file
17:26:38 <skef> Should we specify this in the spec? Garret: Worth mentioning but shouldn't be required
17:31:08 <skef> Will compare "naive" VCDIFF to "naive" Brotli and see if there are any advantages to the former. If not that will favor dropping VCDiff
17:33:52 <skef> Garret has been working with the Chrome team on a proper implementation
17:36:36 <skef> Garret will reach out about the current range-request spec status
17:37:40 <skef> Question: Are the compression formats in the HTTP spec optional, mandatory, or a mix?
17:38:02 <skef> (Brotli is in that list.)
17:40:31 <skef> Will plan on next meeting in two weeks
17:40:40 <skef> (February 7th)
