annevk, perhaps the problem is that whatwg.org says "Membership is by invitation only, and consists of a number of representatives from various browser manufacturers."
03:57
<mpt>
That's trivially untrue (Dean Edwards isn't a representative of a browser manufacturer), and seems to foreclose the possibility of extending membership to (say) a Web accessibility expert.
04:12
<mpt>
I'll e-mail the list to that effect
09:34
<annevk>
mpt, cool
11:04
<Jero>
in the before head insertion mode ( http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-tree-construction.html#before2 ), wouldn't it be better to combine the 4th, 5th and 7th cases?
11:05
<Jero>
they all require the same steps to be taken
11:06
<annevk>
-> whatwg⊙wo

I think we should rename WHATWG members to WHATWG Advisory Board or something
14:12
<MikeSmith>
which WHATWG members would those be? ... I mean, if somebody where to subscribe to the WHATG mailing list today, would that make that person a WHATWG member?
14:16
<Dashiva>
Think it's the steering commitee
14:20
<annevk>
MikeSmith, that makes them a contributor
14:22
<MikeSmith>
annevk - I see ... even if they've never actually contributed anything?
14:22
<MikeSmith>
... and is there a list of the actual members (steering committee) anywhere?
14:22
<annevk>
see http://www.whatwg.org/charter

14:26
<MikeSmith>
wonder why hsivonen's never been invited to be a member
14:26
<mpt>
annevk, +1
14:26
mpt
hopes he's allowed to do that on IRC
14:28
<annevk>
MikeSmith, the only purpose of being member is to be able to revoke the editor from his rights...
14:28
<annevk>
MikeSmith, if that's ever necessary we have some real issues...
14:29
<MikeSmith>
annevk - I see (and notice you're not a "member" either ...)
14:29
<MikeSmith>
does seem like that list of people should be titled something other than Member
14:30
<MikeSmith>
given that key contributors aren't in the list
14:31
<annevk>
yeah, the term is used in a potentially confusing way
14:37
MikeSmith
just now notices that on Planet Intertwingly that if you hover over a blogger name in the right-hand list of feeds, it shows you titles of latest entries for that blog
18:03
<annevk>
XML5 tokenizer.py is 1300 lines...

is working on html5lib
21:57
<kingryan>
anyone know the best place to get 'chardet' for python?
22:00
<Lachy>
kingryan, http://chardet.feedparser.org/
22:00
<kingryan>
Lachy: thanks
22:01
<kingryan>
the svn trunk of the python impl also appears to have syntax errors
22:14
<annevk>
really?
22:15
<kingryan>
yeah, only if you don't have simplejson installed, though
22:15
<kingryan>
otherwise you'll never encounter it
22:15
<kingryan>
http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/issues/detail?id=40
22:16
<annevk>
oh ok
22:20
<kingryan>
installing simplejson made the error go away, but I figured it was worth it to record the issue still
22:24
<annevk>
I suppose we could make the tests that rely on that optional...

Could someone please explain to me why TWO character streams are created when parsing isindex elements? http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-tree-construction.html#isindex
23:42
<zcorpan_>
Jero: copy-paste error on Hixie's part?
23:42
<zcorpan_>
or wait
23:43
<Jero>
not sure, because it explicitly says in the description of the streams "The two streams of character tokens together should..."
23:44
<zcorpan_>
perhaps in some languages you would have the input in the middle or before?
23:46
<Jero>
hmm, yes, that's probably it
23:46

23:47
<Philip`>
That text looks like it's still in front of the input box
23:47
<Philip`>
(just with 'in front' being 'on the right')
23:47
<zcorpan_>
indeed
23:48
<zcorpan_>
RTL text still has the same source order
23:48
<Jero>
oh yeah, you're right
23:48
<zcorpan_>
although the second stream of text might just be a POP BIDI character
23:49
<zcorpan_>
"RTL OVERRIDE ...text...", <input>, "POP BIDI"
23:51
<Jero>
hmm, yeah, maybe
23:51
<zcorpan_>
ask Hixie :)
23:52
<Jero>
yeah, i'll send him an email :p
23:52
<Jero>
or would it be better to email the mailinglist?
23:53
<Philip`>
Seems slightly odd that <isindex prompt> isn't supported
23:53
<Philip`>
(but I guess that's because nobody uses it in practice)
23:53
<Philip`>
(but I'd have thought they would, otherwise they'd get totally inconsistent renderings)
23:54
<zcorpan_>
i guess we'll know when some browser vendor tries to implement this :)
23:55
<zcorpan_>
Jero: you're implementing <isindex> in ph5p? :)
23:55
<Jero>
yup
23:55
<zcorpan_>
cool
23:56
<Jero>
i'm working my way down in the tree construction process now
23:56
<zcorpan_>
i checked it out the other day
23:56
<zcorpan_>
seems you have made some progress
23:56
<Jero>
thanks
23:56
<zcorpan_>
good work 8)
23:57
<Jero>
i hope it'll be good :p
23:59
<zcorpan_>
i mentioned ph5p at my presentation
