<JonathanNeal>
What's the proper way to mark something like this up? "National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)"
04:19
<Hixie>
what's wrong with "National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)" ?
04:19
<JonathanNeal>
National Academy of Sports Medicine (<abbr>NASM</abbr>) ... or ... National Academy of Sports Medicine (<abbr title="National Academy of Sports Medicine">NASM</abbr>) ... or without the abbr or something else?
04:20
<JonathanNeal>
Hixie: I wasn't sure if all abbreviations should be marked up in abbr, and if so, how they should be marked up when next to their non-abbreviated form.
04:20
<Hixie>
there's a bunch of examples in the spec that cover this, see the <abbr> element section
04:20
<Hixie>
but note in particular where it says "Abbreviations do not have to be marked up using this element" and then gives some reasons why you might want to sometimes
04:20
<slowhands>
MASM

<slowhands>
FASM?
04:21
<slowhands>
all good things
04:21
<JonathanNeal>
indeed http://developers.whatwg.org/text-level-semantics.html#the-abbr-element
04:22
<JonathanNeal>
Actually, the examples in the link I just provided are very confusing to me.
04:22
<Hixie>
d'oh
04:23
<JonathanNeal>
They say the abbr element must contain an expansion of the abbreviation, but then go on to show examples without it.
04:23
<Hixie>
where does it say the first thing?
04:23
<JonathanNeal>
oh, the title attribute must, if present.
04:24
<JonathanNeal>
I was wrong. *echoes across the internet*
04:24
<Hixie>
ah ok

TabAtkins: it depends on what Beacon evolves into I think

<zcorpan>
anyone here able to merge https://bitbucket.org/ms2ger/anolis/pull-request/10/use-for-the-toc-in-w3c_compat-since-csswgs/diff ?
06:31
<zcorpan>
annevk: ^
06:31
<annevk>
oh man
06:32
<annevk>
can't we just patch CSS?
06:32
<annevk>
but uh, Ms2ger will have to do that
06:33
<zcorpan>
i guess default.css could be changed instead, i don't care either way
06:33
<zcorpan>
except changing anolis is now sunk cost
06:33
<annevk>
now I wonder whether HTML says anything about ToCs
06:34
<annevk>
zcorpan: not sure that's how that argument works :-)
06:35
<zcorpan>
annevk: what, sunk cost?
06:36
<annevk>
yeah
06:37
<zcorpan>
"In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a retrospective (past) cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered." seems about right to me
06:39
<annevk>
What I question is using it as an argument for not doing something else instead
06:40
<annevk>
As that seems kinda counter to the whole point of the sunk cost fallacy
06:41
<zcorpan>
ah
06:43
<annevk>
MikeSmith: bug the UI team until they get fed up seems also reasonably effective
06:45
<MikeSmith>

it's kinda like climate change denial really

Hixie: about http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7990&to=7991 if you're going to say, "optionally with a caption, that is self-contained (like a complete sentence)" I think you should omit the comma and just say, "optionally with a caption that is self-contained (like a complete sentence)"
07:08
<MikeSmith>
oh wait I guess that's not what you actually mean

<annevk>
marcosc: yo yo

<annevk>
marcosc: thanks for the feedback
07:57

np, thanks for the awesome spec :)
07:58

marcosc: I had this idea about maybe trying out that pair-spec-editing
07:58
<annevk>
marcosc: maybe in Toronto?
07:58
<marcosc>
sure, sounds good
07:59
<marcosc>
annevk: let me know which spec in particular so I can do some background research
08:00
<annevk>
marcosc: yeah, I need to make this more concrete for it to actually work I suppose :-)
08:01
<annevk>
marcosc: I mostly want a better balance between developer and implementer concerns, currently I'm mostly err'ing on the side of the latter so it'd be great to find ways to achieve both

Are the data-* attributes defined on SVG elements?
09:16

09:17
<jgraham>
TabAtkins, perhaps
09:17
<zcorpan>
i seem to remember svg people wanting html features for years but nothing happens from what i can tell
09:55

Maybe we should uplift data-* to DOM?
09:56

Where does the w3c_compat_class_toc thing come from?
13:28

it was there before. it's just a flag you can provide when invoking anolis

GPHemsley
did not interpret that tweet as involving Anne
13:33
GPHemsley
assumed a public bathroom
13:35
gsnedders
did what GPHemsley did
13:37
<GPHemsley>
annevk (or someone): Remind me: XSL and XSLT are different things?
13:38
<gsnedders>
XSL == XSL-FO, typically
13:39
<Ms2ger>
It's the thing weird Glenn uses to argue for silly stuff in CSS
13:40
<GPHemsley>
which one is used for styling?
13:40
<zcorpan>
Ms2ger: should the .options file use dashes or underscore?
13:41
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: underscore
13:41
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: XSL-FO
13:41
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: So what is XSLT for then?
13:41
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: XSLT has the vital T in it — it's merely a transformation language/
13:41
<gsnedders>
It transforms an XML tree into something else (typically another XML tree, but can be any byte stream).
13:41
<Ms2ger>
zcorpan, underscores, like in **kwargs
13:42
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: Would you call it a script?
13:42
<GPHemsley>
[ing language]
13:42
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: Well, it's Turing complete…
13:42
<GPHemsley>
hmm
13:43
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: I mean, it's basically just a DSL to transform XML trees to other XML trees.
13:43
<gsnedders>
It's also amusing because nobody uses it client-side, thus Opera/Presto being broken with IRIs in any transformed document for over a decade before anyone noticed.
13:44
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: And how do you use it on a page?
13:44
<gsnedders>
A PI on an XML page.
13:44
<GPHemsley>
oh, was that <?xml-transform ?> or something?
13:45
<zcorpan>
Ms2ger: toc-basic fails because the ref has "id=baz" rather than "id=baz?"
13:45
<zcorpan>
GPHemsley: <?xml-stylesheet?>
13:45
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: We know :)
13:45
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: You're lucky nothing else fails
13:45
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: (Don't upgrade html5lib)
13:46
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: Either what zcorpan said, or you use some API.
13:46
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan, gsnedders: So, there's no difference between how XSL and XSLT are called in a page?
13:47
<Ms2ger>
zcorpan, yeah, I need to figure that out
13:47
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: I believe not. XSLT is a part of XSL, as is what is de-facto called XSL-FO.
13:47
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: Well, that
13:47
<gsnedders>
(XSL-FO officially is just "the formatting section of XSL")
13:47
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: Well, that's unfortunate.
13:47
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: Is CSS Turing-complete, too?
13:48
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: I believe not. HTML + CSS + a user to advance the tape is Turing complete.
13:48
<GPHemsley>
hmm
13:48
<gsnedders>
I don't believe there's any way to advance the tape without user interaction.
13:48
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: So XSLT is a script called as a style? That's complex
13:49
<GPHemsley>
Or, rather, that complicates things
13:49
<maximmat>
Hey guys, I got a question I was wondering if you could help me with (not sure if this is the right place). I'm using Python 2.7, and when I import the html5lib module, it gives me a " File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\html5lib\html5parser.py", line 2, in <module> from six import with_metaclass ImportError: No module named six" error. Any idea on what to do?
13:49
<gsnedders>
maximmat: Install six.
13:50
<maximmat>
and how do I do that?
13:50
<GPHemsley>
I guess I'm not the only one for which the html5lib dependencies didn't install
13:50
<gsnedders>
maximmat: How did you install html5lib?
13:50
<GPHemsley>
s/which/whom/
13:51
<maximmat>
downloaded from the github, installed from there
13:52
<GPHemsley>
maximmat: sudo python setup.py install?
13:52
<maximmat>
on windows, but yes
13:53
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: For some reason, the setup.py script doesn't install dependencies
13:53
<gsnedders>
GPHemsley: On Python 2?
13:54
<GPHemsley>
gsnedders: Yeah
13:54
<gsnedders>
Or rather, I believe distutils never installs dependencies.
13:54
<maximmat>
So I have to use pip install or easy_install or something like that?
13:55
<gsnedders>
maximmat: You don't have to, but it'll be a lot less painful in general. Otherwise, go download six off PyPI and install it manually.
13:55
<maximmat>
Alright, thank you so much
13:55
<zcorpan>
hmm. i added a test, but if i modify the expected file so it should fail, it doesn't fail, so i guess it doesn't run?
13:56
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: You have 3 files?
13:56
<zcorpan>
yes
13:56
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: I usually start by leaving the target file empty
13:57
<GPHemsley>
zcorpan: Then you can see, for example, where in the test order it falls
13:58
<zcorpan>
does the test runner abort on first fail?
13:58
<GPHemsley>
I don't think so
13:59
<GPHemsley>
your source file has .src.html, right?
14:00
<zcorpan>
yeah
14:01
<GPHemsley>
and it's not running?
14:01
<zcorpan>
i fixed the toc-basic file so it now passes, and get a different error
14:01
<zcorpan>
ImportError: No module named w3c_compat_class_toc
14:01
<zcorpan>
so my options file is wrong
14:02
<Ms2ger>
I probably should have documented the format...
14:02
<Ms2ger>
{ "w3c_compat_class_toc": true }, I think?
14:02
<GPHemsley>
that's what I was gonna say :)
14:03
<zcorpan>
and now i'm getting a PASS
14:04
<zcorpan>
should i commit the fix for toc-basic too?
14:04
<Ms2ger>
The weird thing is that toc-basic doesn't fail for me :)
14:04
<GPHemsley>
Ms2ger: What version of html5lib are you using, anyway?
14:05
<zcorpan>
Ms2ger: does any other test fail?
14:05
<Ms2ger>
1.0b1 it seems
14:05
<Ms2ger>
test_tests/dfn_data-anolis-spec_collision.src.html
14:06
<Ms2ger>
Because of the attribute order thing
14:06
<GPHemsley>
Ms2ger: Right... with such a new version a whole bunch of tests fail
14:07
<zcorpan>
Ms2ger: is that the only one failing?
14:07
<Ms2ger>
For me, yes
14:07
GPHemsley
has 6 failures
14:08
<GPHemsley>
but I also probably have a later version of html5lib
14:08
<Ms2ger>
I need to dive in a bit deeper...
14:08
<Ms2ger>
Probably next week
14:19
<zcorpan>
ok pushed the test
14:19
<zcorpan>
see you next week
14:54
<GPHemsley>
Anyone else getting a phantom Google Notifications bell icon?
14:54
<GPHemsley>
hmm... maybe my Google JavaScript has stopped working...

<Domenic_>
Has anyone ever tried standardizing `outline-radius`? TabAtkins, you seem to know things about CSS specs? Mostly just curious.
15:27
<dglazkov>
good morning, Whatwg!
17:06
<TabAtkins>
annevk: According to Arv, for static arrays we should just use sequence<Node>. I've suggested that in the appropriate thread (about the return value of document.elementsFromPoint()).
17:07
<TabAtkins>
zcorpan: Oh, I didn't actually look at our markup. I thought you were just missing a class or something. If it's a matter of ol versus ul, I can just go adjust the stylesheet.
17:09
<TabAtkins>
SimonSapin: The data-* attributes either have been added to SVG, or will be. It was definitely approved to be so, at least.
17:11
<TabAtkins>
Domenic_: Dunno. It's just in Moz, I think?
17:44
<Domenic_>
TabAtkins: yeah, it's a non-standard Moz thing. It's quite useful though, so was just wondering if anyone had tried making it official.
19:20
<aklein>
Hixie: g'afternoon. did you happen to see my question about PopStateEvent yesterday afternoon?
20:32
<aklein>
Hixie: filed as https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22420
20:55
<Hixie>
aklein: i didn't, sorry, i went off irc for a bit. looking at bug now.
21:04
<Hixie>
aklein: commented
21:09
<aklein>
Hixie: thanks, responded. happy to discuss here too.
21:22
<Hixie>
aklein: if you want prompt responses, here is best for you :-)
21:22
<Hixie>
aklein: i don't understand the implementation concern. Just implement these objects as you would any other event objects.
21:24
<aklein>
Hixie: since bringing up this concern started from implementation concerns, I suppose I ought to just explain the main one. it has to do with extensions
21:24
<aklein>
they operate in "isolated worlds", which have access to the same DOM but with different JS wrappers for each host object
21:24
<aklein>
that is, different from the "main world"
21:26
<Hixie>
heycam|away: ping
21:26
<Hixie>
aklein: ok
21:26
<aklein>
the trouble comes in if I do new PopStateEvent('popstate', {state: document}) in one world and then handle the event in another world
21:27
Hixie
mumbles something about extensions being the problem here
21:27
<aklein>
I don't entirely disagree
21:27
<Hixie>
doesn't this problem occur whenever you have an "any" IDL type that transfers stuff from one "world" to another?
21:27
<Hixie>
or any callbacks, or any dictionaries, or...
21:28
<aklein>
yes, it would, I think the ping to heycam|away is perhaps appropriate (for him to tell me I'm wrong :)
21:28
<Hixie>
oh i need heycam for entirely different reasons, but yeah :-)
21:28
<Hixie>
i don't think you're wrong
21:28
<Hixie>
i think this is a perfect example of why bz wants us to change the web security model
21:29
<Hixie>
to do checks on every property access
21:29
<Hixie>
rather than just at specific borders
21:29
<aklein>
note, though, that it's not an error to handle an event fired from one world in another
21:30
<Hixie>
anyway i think your answer is just, you need to protect any case where you have data that can cross boundaries
21:30
<aklein>
for "organic" PopStateEvents, we just deserialize the object twice, once for each world
21:30
<Hixie>
by creating new wrappers or whatnot
21:30
<Hixie>
what do you do if an extension calls showModalDialog() and passes some structured dialogArguments?
21:30
<aklein>
Hixie: my likely fix for this issue if the spec isn't changed is just to do the cloning for worlds other than the one that created the event
21:32
<Hixie>
is there no way for an extension to call into the page's own JS?
21:33
<aklein>
injecting a script tag is usually the way that's done
21:33
<aklein>
that obviously doesn't meet all use cases, but it meets a good number
21:33
aklein
looks at what we do for showModalDialog
21:33
<Hixie>
that's just adding new js, not calling into it, right?
21:34
<Hixie>
i mean, you can't inject a <script> that defines a function, and then call that function
21:35
<aklein>
right, there's no sanctioned way for an extension to interact directly with the page's own script (though there are a variety of holes at the moment, which I'm trying to close)
21:38
<Hixie>
yeah then i would just say yeah, close each hole :-)
21:38
<Hixie>
basically anywhere there's an "any" argument or attribute
21:39
<Hixie>
assuming all host objects have their own wrappers already, that should be it, though i may be missing some things off-hand
21:41
<aklein>
yeah, I'm fine with doing that myself, I just wondered if it might be worth speccing these events differently; events are a big opportunity for leakiness because of how dispatching works. but it sounds like this doesn't sound like a concern of the HTML spec to you (and the consistency argument isn't strong enough)?
21:44
<Hixie>
the consistency argument is in the other direction, imho
21:45
<aklein>
to your showModalDialog question, btw, the dialogFeatures are only set on the global of whatever world called showModalDialog
21:45
<Hixie>
same with return value?
21:45
<Hixie>
(re consistency, i mean, event interfaces don't try to enforce event semantics from one event fired by the UA on all events that use that interface)
21:45
<aklein>
yup, that's read directly off the global
21:47
<aklein>
I see. Well, at least that means we just need a rule for what "any" means across worlds and stick with that. CustomEvent is the other place where this came up.
21:47
<Hixie>
CustomEvent can probably just be dropped, no?
21:47
<Hixie>
i think that's dead
21:48
<Hixie>
oh i guess not
21:48
<Hixie>
nevermind
21:49
<aklein>
actually the biggest leak was EventHandler attributes, which I just fixed in a slightly different way last week
21:50
<Hixie>
EventHandler attributes?
21:50
<Hixie>
oh because you shared them across worlds?
21:50
<Hixie>
instead of having one set per world?
21:50
<aklein>
yeah
21:51
<Hixie>
extensions suck.
21:51
<aklein>
:)
21:51
<Hixie>
:-)
21:51
<aklein>
interestingly, it looks like HTML now requires that EventHandlers be callable?
21:51
<aklein>
does that mean it no longer supports { handleEvent: function() { } } as an EventHandler?
21:51
<Hixie>
i forget what the conclusion was on that
21:52
<Hixie>
but it was a heated debate
21:52
<aklein>
I was having some fun setting a <button> as its own onclick handler and then giving it a handleEvent method
21:52
<aklein>
the current spec uses [TreatNonCallableAsNull]

webidl says "the only known valid use of [TreatNonCallableAsNull] is for the callback functions used as the type of event handler IDL attributes" in HTML, so i guess i'm doing the right thing here. :-P

nice, Firefox is following the spec here
21:55
<aklein>
I wonder if Blink could get away with doing that too
21:57
<Hixie>
if you can't, the spec is probably wrong
21:58
<Hixie>
i wonder what the right technical term is for a property of a JS object that a script adds, rather than one that is under the management of the browser

<dekiss>
check ecmascript language specification :)

if I add enter key html unicode code unit to the text node as text and if that text node is in element which has white-space: pre-wrap, will that make new line?

wtf. why does http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/dom/level0/location/cross-origin/001.html sometimes fail in chrome.

Hixie: IE seems to through away content attribute values it doesn't like. Gecko/WK/Blink all keep (but ignore) them. Trying to figure out what the spec says about this.
22:20
<Hixie>
rafaelw: content attributes are never sanitised.

rafaelw: they can always be set, they can always be removed, they can always be read.

rafaelw: (specced in DOM Core)

<rafaelw>
reference?
22:22
<Hixie>
hard to say what to reference, since it's the absence of any requirements to the contrary that define this :-)
22:22
<rafaelw>
I see.
22:23
<Hixie>
but e.g. see the spec for setAttribute()
22:25
<rafaelw>
Ok. Thanks.

why this doesn't output value if the charset attribute alert(document.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].charset);
