PEWG – 18 December 2024

Meeting minutes

Patrick: did a quick PR adding a new part to security and privacy section of the spec. If people could have a look over now to see if it makes sense

Patrick: chose to add to the privacy/security bit, rather than straight after IDL, as otherwise we'd have to cross-reference

[group worked on refining wording of the bullet points]

Patrick: are we all happy with merging this (to the Level 3 branch)?

[group approved the merge

Patrick: thank you all. this is now merged in to Level 3 branch, and i'll cherry-pick it into main branch (level 4) later

Patrick: first one we've now just done

Patrick: then we had "Rob to reflect back discussion to the issue #516"

Patrick: not sure the update/reflection there happened on w3c/pointerevents#516 ...

ACTION: Rob to follow up on w3c/pointerevents#516

Patrick: next we had "Olli to follow up about #509"

Olli: Masayuki added a new comment to w3c/pointerevents#509 - interesting extra case, worth investigating further

Patrick: leave open for further investigation then?

Olli: yes, i think this needs some more test - especially in case of cross-origin iframe

Mustaq: this is particularly tricky in all cases ... down to timing ...

Olli: it happens earlier, different task. it may just be possible that we just don't dispatch pointermove

Mustaq: any event that comes after pointerrawupdate should be treated as a separate event...

Olli: pointermove is based on pointerrawupdate though

Mustaq: if we treated them as separate, would it make things different?

Olli: say if you remove iframe in pointerrawupdate, i guess no pointermove would fire. except in same origin case (?)

Olli: this is very much an edge case....

Mustaq: should this block v3?

Olli: i don't think so

Patrick: agree. this sounds VERY deep in the weeds. suggest we look at this further in Level 4

ACTION: move issue 509 to future/v4, unblocking v3

Patrick: "continue investigation on #529"

Mustaq: I sent a pull request. Rob was going to review but is currently out.

ACTION: review the PR for our next meeting in 2025

Patrick: last one was no immediate pressure "review #516 further, but no immediate pressure to get this in for v3"

Patrick: thank you for all the hard work this year. next meeting will be 15 Janunary 2025 (!)

Patrick: I will follow up on w3c/pointerevents#517 to make sure our addition to privacy/security is deemed appropriate
