Minutes Telecon 2015-09-16
- There were several announcements regarding TPAC
- Everyone was requested to add items to the TPAC agenda so that scheduling can be handled in advance.
- Anyone planning on attending the Japanese Industry Meet-Up on the Sunday before TPAC was asked to please add their name to the wiki as well as any topics they’d like discussed. The start time and agenda will be announced shortly after a venue is decided upon.
- Lastly, anyone looking to attend the Monday evening developer meet-up at TPAC was reminded to sign up.
- Apple and Microsoft are still reviewing the prefixing policy language in the Snapshot 2015 so it couldn’t be finalized. Apple had some preliminary feedback that lead to further conversation about the word ‘unstable’ in section 3.2.3. Market Pressure and De Facto Standards.
- fantasai will further clarify the word ‘unstable’ and perhaps use an alternate word.
- The feedback also lead to a conversation about doing a better job making the case as to why the prefix policy change is good for implementors.
- Florian will write up a note with the rational which he summarized in the call by saying: “vendors can remove the prefixed version once the bugs are ironed out because there will be no risk to compat by removing the prefix because everyone also used the unprefixed version.”
- Resolved: Replaced sizing remains physical in Writing Modes. Add an appendix about the consideration of the security and privacy concerns.
- The authors of Writing Modes plan to ask for a new CR publication as soon as next week so if there are any outstanding issues, please add them now.
- Resolved: Add the form feed character (U+000C) and make sure all CSS specs align on the definition of white space.
- The group agreed that they wanted cases like Florian’s to be able to use a prefixed property in a spec example for what behavior should look like when implemented however the ability to do this is a W3C level decision so plh will discuss it with the appropriate parties.
