(and always has before!)

<annevk>
morning
08:43
<zcorpan>
Hixie: why "+ <li>All <a href=#xml-mime-type title="XML MIME type">XML MIME types</a></li>" ?
08:46
<zcorpan>
Hixie: the idea of supporting all unknown mime types ending with +xml has failed. web compat requires non-support.
08:53
<Ms2ger>
<Hixie> you guys give perl a bad name :-P
08:53
<Ms2ger>
Because it didn't have one yet?
08:55
<jgraham>
Please evreyone stop saying that. Every time I read it to the tune of Bon Jovi. That's practically illegal under the Geneva convention.
08:56
<annevk>
zcorpan, for XHR too?
08:58
<zcorpan>
annevk: for navigation. dunno about xhr, doesn't xhr assume xml if you use an unknown type (even if it doesn't end in +xml)?
09:00
<annevk>
no for missing or malformed content-type only
09:16
<zcorpan>
annevk: in opera i get an XMLDocument for text/foo
09:24
<annevk>
Opera is buggy
09:24
<annevk>
actually causes us issues
09:25
<zcorpan>
do other browsers do the +xml thing for xhr?
09:25
<annevk>
WebKit does at least
09:25
<zcorpan>
ok
09:25
<annevk>
WebKit is pretty compliant
09:26
<zcorpan>
ok, then +xml hasn't completely failed :)
09:27
<zcorpan>
but it's not clear to me why we should ban registration of unknown +xml types
09:28
<zcorpan>
hmm i guess i should file a bug on navigation
09:42
<zcorpan>
turns out google earth was the major +xml abuser
09:42
<AryehGregor>
Hixie, I don't have a Mac, no.
09:43
<annevk>
blocking all XML types btw blocks application/atom+xml
09:43
<annevk>
which I think web pages might legitimately handle
09:43
<AryehGregor>
(also, I'll be in Toronto for the next two days, so if anyone wants to contact me, e-mail is a better bet than IRC)
09:43
<zcorpan>
annevk: yeah
09:44
<annevk>
the web+ scheme convention is interesting
09:44
<annevk>
I wonder how the IETF will react
09:44
<annevk>
prolly late
09:44
<zcorpan>
annevk: although the last bullet point bans atom also
09:45
<annevk>
I wonder if that is for application/pdf and the like
09:51
<zcorpan>
<http://www.w3.org/mid/E1QvsLJ-0007QA-SV⊙jwo>; - this is why we should always err on the side of REOPEN instead of WONTFIX+TrackerIssue when somebody does REOPEN+TrackerIssue
09:55
<annevk>
I think the problem was that Murata added TRackerIssue but the i18n WG did not know about it
10:08
<zcorpan>
heh, the spec uses application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml as an example use case for registerContentHandler but then bans XML types
10:11
<annevk>
whoa
10:11
<annevk>
blog.whatwg.org is slow

I'm away the next 6 or 7 days so if someone else wants to write it next week go ahead

<zcorpan>
http://www.w3.org/2010/html-xml/snapshot/report.html seems to say "parsing HTML with an XML parser is problematic and parsing XML with an HTML parser is problematic. the best solution is to parse XML with an XML parser and HTML with an HTML parser."
10:24
<Ms2ger>
Tell the TAG
10:25
<annevk>
zcorpan, pretty much
10:26
<jgraham>
Hey, it's taken 10 ears to get past the "parsing HTML with an XML parser is problematic so everyone should produce XML always" stage
10:26
<jgraham>
*years
10:26
<jgraham>
The number of ears sacrified is unknown
10:29
<zcorpan>
2.5 How can XML be made more forgiving of errors? is interesting
10:29
<zcorpan>
wonder if xml core will agree to specify lenient xml parsing
10:30
<annevk>
I put that in
10:30
<annevk>
sort of
10:30
<zcorpan>
or if somebody else will successfully do it over xml core's objections
10:30
<annevk>
I would finish my specification if one browser vendor would seriously consider implementing it
12:04
<Kellen`>
is the author of validator.nu here by any chance?
12:06
<Ms2ger>
He's on holiday until early next week, IIRC
12:07
<Kellen`>
okay thanks! is he usually in this channel?
12:07
<jgraham>
yep
12:07
<Kellen`>
awesome, I'll check back then
12:10
<zcorpan>
MikeSmith also fixes stuff in v.nu

foolip: is the live microdata service down? http://foolip.org/microdatajs/live/
16:12
<foolip>
scor, no, looks fine to me
16:12
<foolip>
is it b0rked in some way?
16:12
<foolip>
I pushed some changes a few days ago
16:12
<scor>
"wating for foolip.org"
16:12
<scor>
same goes for http://foolip.org/
16:13
<foolip>
both are fine here
16:13
<foolip>
sounds like a network problem
16:13
<scor>
could it be my network then?
16:13
<scor>
it used to work from here in the past. let me check
16:13
<foolip>
perhaps I was blacklisted :)
16:15
<scor>
my network at work is very picky. sorry to have bugged you foolip, I'll check with my sysadmins…

wait what? are you visiting? :)

in case anyone here uses Thunderbird, and finds themselves needing to share a link to a specific email, I've made an add-on http://schepers.cc/archived-link

I guess that's easier than ctrl-u and copy it from the header

<jarek>
Hi!
18:52
<jarek>
does any browser support or is planning to support native rendering of menu element?
18:52
<jarek>
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/interactive-elements.html#the-menu-element
18:52
<smaug____>
jarek: latest FF builds have support for context menu
18:53
<jarek>
<smaug____> yeah, I have just stumbled upon this news
18:54
<smaug____>
jarek: note, the child elements should be <menuitem> elements, not <command> elements
18:54
<jarek>
<smaug____> but I wonder whether all menus are going to be rendered this way
18:55
<jarek>
is it possible to trigger contextmenu with left mouse button?
18:55
<smaug____>
depends on OS, I guess
19:02
<dglazkov>
annevk: Dimitri “good morning” Glazkov :D
19:05
<smaug____>
jarek_: in which way should the menus be rendered?
19:08
<jarek_>
<smaug____> I mean something like this: http://twitpic.com/68ztwa/full
19:09
<smaug____>
jarek_: isn't that how it is rendered now?
19:09
<jarek_>
<smaug____> I need HTML5 menus that would look exactly as those from native apps
19:09
<smaug____>
(I don't have a mac)
19:09
<jarek_>
<smaug____> I have just checked menu and contextmenu element on Chrome, both are completely unstyled by default
19:10
<smaug____>
contextmenu element?
19:10
<smaug____>
and I have no idea what Chrome does
19:11
<smaug____>
I thought it doesn't support <menu type="context"> yet
19:11
<jarek_>
oopps, it should be <menu type="context">
19:11
<dglazkov>
jarek_: no implementation in WebKit as far as I know, so probably not in Chrome
