URL Standard's Twitter hook failed due to an authentication failure...
06:22
<annevk>
miketaylr: didn't you have something similar with Compat?
06:31
<cvrebert>
FYI: w3bug.com is now a thing, just like crbug.com etc; e.g. http://w3bug.com/28673
06:33
<annevk>
Now it works again...
06:34
<annevk>
cvrebert: interesting default redirect :-)
06:34
<annevk>
cvrebert: note that we're mostly migrating everything to GitHub at this point
06:35
<cvrebert>
annevk: HTML itself seeming to be the exception :-)
06:35
<annevk>
cvrebert: patience :-)
06:36

TabAtkins: if I have for=URL for the model, what would make sense to describe syntax?
09:42
<annevk>
TabAtkins: for=url-syntax or some such?
11:02
<annevk>
philipj: any chance getting updates on https://github.com/whatwg/xhr/issues/19 at some point?
11:02
<philipj>
annevk: that would be nice, yeah
11:03
<philipj>
I'll ping some more

Bit annoying to see Blink deprecate getUserMedia() outside of secure contexts now, while earlier opposing this in the standards venue.

13:12
<annevk>
SimonSapin: note also that HTML currently contains the exact same algorithm
13:12
<annevk>
SimonSapin: that bit hasn't merged yet

JakeA: https://twitter.com/jaffathecake/status/632178499915284480 heh. This applies to writing standards too.
13:19
<annevk>
JakeA: fortunately the couple dozen folks that read a standard will then use that knowledge to change browsers and the web. So there's some ROI.
13:23
<JakeA>
Yeah, with standards the benefit is huge even if very few read. I guess in some way it's pretty cool how far developers can get with the web with only a vague understanding of the spec beneath
13:35
<TabAtkins>
annevk: Don't use hyphens unless absolutely necessary
13:39
<jgraham>
Whereas em dashes should — it goes without saying — be used with reckless abandon.
13:49
<SimonSapin>
annevk: I haven’t done the testing I said I’d do… a year ago :/
14:00
<annevk>
TabAtkins: or maybe syntax can be a different type?
14:02
<Ms2ger>
Surely em-dashes�unlike en-dashes�should not have spaces around them
14:02
<TabAtkins>
"grammar" is a type, but I don't know what you're using it for
14:03
<jgraham>
Ms2ger: If you want them to look like crap because it says in a book somewhere it's "right" then sure
14:06
<annevk>
TabAtkins: I want to rewrite https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-writing and make it use <dfn>s that are not equivalent to <dfn for=URL>
14:06
<annevk>
TabAtkins: but I'll probably reuse some terms
14:06
<annevk>
TabAtkins: it's basically syntax productions
14:49
<annevk>
SimonSapin: I figured. I fixed a couple of your issues though, most over a year old... Quick test here with application/x-www-form-urlencoded shows that most code points are escaped by Firefox, so I'll leave that as-is for now at least until HTML references this algorithm rather than a duplicate.
14:50
<SimonSapin>
ok
15:21
<caitp>
you guys were really patient with whatwg/xhr#24, nice
15:26
<annevk>
caitp: I'm trying to improve, but I notice I'm still very brief at times
15:27
<annevk>
caitp: changing habits is hard, fortunately there's tyoshino who does the right thing by default :-)
15:47
<miketaylr>
annevk: yeah, but i think it only error'd for the first commit/tweet
15:48
<annevk>
miketaylr: sortof similar here

<micahf>
hey there! i'm interested in making a "yaml-like" ontology format for myself
16:18
<micahf>
(for my blog)
16:18
<micahf>
so the idea is, i will write my blog in plain html (or whatever plain text format i choose)
16:19
<micahf>
then i will make metadata description files that are basically just yaml with little bits of xpath or regular expressions
16:20
<micahf>
so say I use an unordered list for "tags". "tags" would be a property of a blog post
16:22
<micahf>
then in the yaml there would be a property "tag", with an xpath string that points to the list item values
16:24
<annevk>
what's holding you back?
16:26
<micahf>
annevk, well, i've heard and read about web ontology formats, but i'm not so familiar with the goals and challenges faced when standards like OWL/RDF were created
16:26
<micahf>
annevk, part of me wants to get a better understanding, but maybe that would taint my raw, innocent creative spirit
16:27
<annevk>
micahf: I see, this might be wrong place
16:27
<micahf>
annevk, how's that?
16:28
<annevk>
micahf: there's not much semantic web discussion here, I think #swig might be a place where you can go
16:29
<micahf>
annevk, thanks!
