TabAtkins_ ⋱ It's a diagonal ellipsis.
00:54
<annevk>
diagonal ellipsis? wild
01:11
<roc>
it's for matrices
01:15
<annevk>
look at that
01:15
<annevk>
chaals is on bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/chaals
01:22
<twisted`>
paul_irish: the diveintohtml5.org is a nice document but it's horrible to read
01:23
<twisted`>
in the sense I have to go back to the TOC to click the next chapter
01:23
<twisted`>
:p
01:27
<MikeSmith>
twisted`: somebody should make a bookmarklet for it with the TOC
01:27
<MikeSmith>
or is it available as a single page?
01:27
<twisted`>
MikeSmith: there's a single page edition I think
01:27
<MikeSmith>
ok
01:28
<MikeSmith>
there's an extension for Chrome that generates an outline
01:28
<MikeSmith>
using the HTML5 outline algorithm
01:28
<MikeSmith>
that would probably be a help with reading it
01:28
MikeSmith
tries it now
01:29
<twisted`>
only thing I miss from Opera is the gestures
01:29
<twisted`>
but personally I'd be all for one browser engine... makes everyone's life a lot easier
01:30
<annevk>
yeah, IE6 was awesome
01:30
<twisted`>
we're slowly getting there, on small devices it's already webkit anyway
01:31
<MikeSmith>
no it's not
01:31
<MikeSmith>
actually
01:31
<twisted`>
except for the windows based phones but who the fuck uses that
01:31
<MikeSmith>
not by a long show
01:31
<twisted`>
MikeSmith: android is webkit, ios is webkit
01:31
annevk
was sarcastic
01:31
annevk
goes to bed
01:31
<twisted`>
annevk: we assumed
01:31
<MikeSmith>
twisted`: yeah well
01:31
<MikeSmith>
that's hardly all the market
01:31
<MikeSmith>
and other browsers are available for Android
01:32
<twisted`>
it won't be long I guess before MS gives in and drops IE and goes for webkit
01:32
<MikeSmith>
yep
01:32
<twisted`>
I used to love Gecko
01:32
<twisted`>
but it's just slow as shit compared to webkit
01:32
<MikeSmith>
everybody will just be giving up and going for WebKit
01:32
<twisted`>
only thing that made me prefer Firefox is cause I didn't like Safari that much but Chrome is pwnsome
01:33
<MikeSmith>
you should bet money on your WebKit prediction
01:33
<twisted`>
it makes sense there are now 2 giant companies working on webkit
01:33
<MikeSmith>
indeed
01:33
<twisted`>
it's just that Google made a horrible decision with dropping h264 support in Chrome
01:33
<twisted`>
'yay'
01:33
<MikeSmith>
giant companies can never screw anything up
01:33
<franksalim__>
everything i use came from a giant company
01:33
<MikeSmith>
and two giant companies can definitely never screw anything up
01:34
<MikeSmith>
so it's a really safe bet for sure
01:34
<franksalim__>
totally
01:34
<MikeSmith>
I trust the giant companies completely
01:35
<franksalim>
i don't think you are being sincere, MikeSmith
01:35
<MikeSmith>
I'm always sincere :)
01:35
<MikeSmith>
even when I'm not being sincere
01:35
<twisted`>
MikeSmith: well considering the difference between Webkit and IE is that Webkit is actually opensource
01:35
<twisted`>
so if they do fubar it
01:35
<twisted`>
just fork it
01:36
<twisted`>
Gecko was awesome but because of the marketshare and their 'superiority' they became lazy
01:36
<Hixie>
annevk: yeah i already added the <!-- -->s
01:36
<MikeSmith>
twisted`: I got news for you: Somebody already thought of that already. It's already forked
01:37
<MikeSmith>
and will be forked more
01:37
<twisted`>
MikeSmith: probably, not really following that
01:37
<MikeSmith>
it's forked already
01:38
<roc>
yeah, that's us Gecko developers, real lazy. Right now we're all hanging out on the beach drinking pina coladas.
01:38
<twisted`>
MikeSmith: which fork do you refer to
01:38
<twisted`>
roc: ;)
01:38
<MikeSmith>
twisted`: several of them
01:39
<MikeSmith>
take your pick
01:39
<roc>
twisted`: really, your theories are incorrect and insulting, OK? So please keep them to yourself
01:39
<twisted`>
roc: oh nofi it's just how I saw it
02:02

tantek, I'm gonna move the research stuff on the wiki to a "Research" page
08:07
<phrearch>
hi
08:07
<phrearch>
does anyone know i the connectionpeer api is already implemented in webkit?
08:08
<annevk>
yesterday Ericsson Labs published something
08:10
<phrearch>
yes, i saw the vid. wondering whether how that stuff is related to <device> and media streams
08:10
<phrearch>
it seems there are 3 apis involved in that demo
08:11
<phrearch>
connectionpeer api, Stream API and device
08:11
<phrearch>
it would be great if a patch would land in webkit, just for testing and poc
08:17
<annevk>
did some more cleanup to the wiki
08:19
<phrearch>
aah, the device element includes both apis
08:19
<phrearch>
i cant wait to test this :)
08:27
<annevk>
I would like to see their spec
08:27
<annevk>
for the UDP stuff
09:19
<annevk>
I wish he posted something about the UDP-based thingie they are using as well
09:19
<annevk>
I guess their blog post does to some extent
09:20
<phrearch>
yea, thats part of the stream api i guess?
09:20
<annevk>
no
09:20
<annevk>
Stream is nothing much
09:20
<annevk>
it just represents the camera/microphone
09:21
<phrearch>
aha ok
09:21
<annevk>
the UDP-based thingie is what is behind ConnectionPeer
09:21
<annevk>
and somehow I missed they invented something WebSocket-based too for media-streaming
09:22
<annevk>
https://labs.ericsson.com/developer-community/blog/beyond-html5-conversational-voice-and-video-implemented-webkit-gtk 'new MediaStreamTransceiver("ws://150.132.141.60:8880/delayswitch?sid=0");'
09:23
<phrearch>
yea, but i think thats the old way the did that
09:24
<phrearch>
it seems they now use something else for that
09:24
<phrearch>
connectionpeer i guess
09:24
<annevk>
that was also TCP-based still
09:24
<annevk>
they did not modify WebSocket to add UDP support
09:24
<annevk>
(that's poor wording, but you get the idea)
09:25
<phrearch>
yea, i thought they added binary support to it
10:07
<zcorpan>
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11129 - boooo! what do people have against these events?? they're convenient
10:08
<zcorpan>
should we remove all event handler attributes as well since they're "redundant" with addEventListener?
10:11
<annevk>
also <style> and style=""
10:18
<annevk>
preprocessor script by CSS WG requires <code title=""> and does not allow <code title>
10:18
<annevk>
bah
10:18
<annevk>
want Anolis
10:38
<annevk>
hsivonen, you around?
10:38
<annevk>
hsivonen, wondered if you looked into that Android 2.3 thing with webm.html5.org
10:38
<annevk>
oh btw
10:38
<annevk>
XHR now has full ArrayBuffer support
10:43
<hsivonen>
annevk: not yet, I've been busy with a Hotmail firedrill
10:43
<hsivonen>
(Hotmail got updated in away that broke it in Firefox 4)
10:59
<gggg>
has there been any talk regarding multi-bitrat streaming using HTML5 video?
11:00
<annevk>
I've seen some discussion on adaptive streaming
11:00
<annevk>
nothing concrete though
11:00
<annevk>
foolip would know
11:00
<foolip>
there's been plenty of talking, but very little implementing, so far
11:01
<foolip>
gggg, I suggest reading the archives of the FOMS list
11:01
<gggg>
foolip: on the mailing list?
11:01
<gggg>
ok, thanks
11:01
<foolip>
oh crap, the archives are private :(
11:01
<foolip>
but I guess you could join the list and then read them
11:02
<foolip>
http://lists.annodex.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/foms
11:07
<gggg>
interesting. I found this article as well http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Adaptive_Streaming
11:14
<annevk>
hmm
11:15
<annevk>
maybe Feature Proposals should be turned into a category as well to group all those things
11:45
<annevk>
whoa
11:46
<annevk>
http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-096 -- it's still not decided whether <progress> is in or out?!
11:46
<annevk>
that issue is six months old
11:46
<annevk>
I mean, the poll is seven-eight months old
11:54
<Lachy>
I think that must be the oldest open issue that's had a poll but hasn't been resolved, closely followed by issue-88
11:55
<annevk>
was the wiki never linked from whatwg.org?
11:55
<annevk>
a direct link that is
11:57
<Lachy>
I thought it was
11:57
<Lachy>
might have been removed when the page was last redesigned
12:01
<annevk>
hmm, research and feature requests should prolly just be merged
12:02
<annevk>
why can't categories be moved?
12:02
<annevk>
I guess you can still do that by editing them...
12:32
<annevk>
revamped http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Main_Page some more
12:59
<annevk>
hmm
12:59
<annevk>
now I want to categorize the registries
14:32
<Workshiva>
So I'm reading the http-state draft and see that it defines a cookie value as a http token. How is javascript supposed to create valid cookie values then?
14:32
<Workshiva>
All the cookie scripts I can recall use escape(), which does not encode @
15:52
<karlcow>
http://littlebigdetails.com/
15:54
<slartsa>
nice
15:57
<bfrohs>
Oh hey, they finally implemented my suggestion to get the unread counts in the icon :)
16:29
<dglazkov>
Hixie: I really liked the notion of ::xbl(id) pseudo-selector from our conversation yesterday
16:30
<dglazkov>
Hixie: except I don't want it to be actually named xbl, of course :)
16:30
<dglazkov>
Hixie: I wonder if you could take some time to update the draft and add this -- and I'll stick it into WebKit?
16:30
<dglazkov>
Hixie: something like ::shadow(id) might be nice?
16:32
<dglazkov>
Hixie: or maybe something less conspicuous like ::part(id), as in "part of the component/binding"?
16:54
<jgraham>
Are iframes with data: URIs @src allowed to access functions in their opener?
16:57
<jgraham>
AFAICT the spec says no, which seems silly
17:02
<Workshiva>
Hmm, this cookie value stuff is getting ugly
17:17
<tantek>
annevk that seems fine
17:17
<tantek>
not a huge fan of how mediawiki categories work but not that worried about it
17:35
<foolip>
TabAtkins, cool, I had no idea working with the CSS WG could be so... WHATWG-like :)
19:17
<TabAtkins_>
foolip: Depends on which editor you're working with.
19:46
<Ms2ger>
Wiki's down?
19:46
<Ms2ger>
Not anymore
19:48
<AryehGregor>
Is there any spec that's supposed to contain stuff like this? https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46733
20:04
<hsivonen>
Hixie: do I read the spec right that the spec is trying to say that onload alway fires asynchronously and never synchronously?
20:07
<AryehGregor>
volkmar_, is Firefox 4 final going to support the slight modification just made to type=email validation, allowing addresses like foo@localhost with only one domain name part? See <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11225>;. I don't see a Mozilla bug for it, should I open one?
20:08
<jwalden>
AryehGregor: bugs don't get fixed without their being filed, do file
20:08
<jwalden>
as to whether it will or not, that depends on the bug being filed first
20:08
<AryehGregor>
:)
20:09
<jwalden>
it sounds pretty easy, but it seems like not something that will be prioritized for release, to me, unless someone writes the patch and drives it
20:10
<Ms2ger>
jwalden, I filed
20:10
<Ms2ger>
And it was fixed
20:10
<AryehGregor>
Yay.
20:10
<jwalden>
ah
20:10
<AryehGregor>
Where's the bug?
20:10
<AryehGregor>
I didn't see it in a quick search.
20:11
<Ms2ger>
627657
20:13
<AryehGregor>
Ms2ger, kthx. Isn't it supposed to be marked as blocking some more general bug or something?
20:16
<Ms2ger>
Does now
20:17
<AryehGregor>
:)
20:28
<Hixie>
we should rename http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Companion_specifications to TODO or something
20:34
<volkmar_>
AryehGregor: it already does
20:34
<volkmar_>
beta9 should support that change
20:34
<volkmar_>
hmmm, 10 maybe ;)
20:34
<AryehGregor>
10, I think.
20:34
<AryehGregor>
See, this is why I ask before filing.
20:35
<volkmar_>
AryehGregor: i have to say that searching for fixed bugs is a pain
20:36
<AryehGregor>
Yeah, the defaults work against you.
20:37
<Ms2ger>
Just add ALL before your search
20:37
<Ms2ger>
Knowing it's been fixed helps, of course
21:09
<Hixie>
hm, misspelt words is an interesting use case for <u>
21:09
<Hixie>
has that ever been brought up before? i don't recall seeing it
21:09
<Hixie>
(listed in the CP for <u>)
21:10
AryehGregor
doesn't recall seeing it
21:13
<bfrohs>
Hixie, personally, I like the idea, but due to the use of INS and DEL, wouldn't a new tag such as UNS (unsure) be more appropriate? -- new name needed, but it would apply to text that may be wrong (either caught misspelling in a WYSIWYG or a piece of quoted text that was loosely quoted and may not be exact)
21:13
<bfrohs>
Mainly because <u> already has such a history of being strictly underline
21:14
<Hixie>
i dunno, i haven't studied how common it is for web pages to indicate spelling mistakes
21:15
<bfrohs>
Well, I think the spelling mistakes side of the tag would be more for WYSIWYG editors, not so much the final version of the page.
21:15
<Philip`>
Like in static content, or dynamic spellchecking in text entry fields?
21:15
<Hixie>
anywhere they'd use an element, i guess
21:17
<Philip`>
I don't think I've ever seen it in static content, except maybe when people were talking about the Word spelling/grammar checker and using it demonstratively (in which case they don't want arbitrary underline-like styling, they want the precise colour and shape that Word uses)
21:18
<Hixie>
yeah
21:40
<zcorpan>
yay http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/76115 (onformchange and friends)
21:41
<annevk>
yeah, Companion Specifications is an odd name
21:41
<annevk>
yeah, Companion Specifications is an odd name
21:41
<annevk>
Specs TODO
21:42
<Ms2ger>
So, why is html5lib outputting &NonBreakingSpace; instead of &nbsp;?
21:42
<zcorpan>
so does webkit's window.onerror impl support <script>onerror=function(){alert('woot')}</script><script>for(;) { lol syntax error</script> ?
21:42
<zcorpan>
or just uncaught exceptions?
21:43
<zcorpan>
Ms2ger: because it's earlier in the entities table, maybe?
21:43
zcorpan
noticed that web dom core switched from &copy; to &COPY; in its output
21:44
<Ms2ger>
Yeah
21:44
<Ms2ger>
Installing html5lib tip wasn't a good idea, apparently
21:44
<annevk>
I wonder how these comments work. First positive, then negative, now positive again. I guess incoming link from a positive article invites positive comments and incoming link from a negative article invites negative comments?
21:45
<zcorpan>
maybe html5lib should have a separate entity table for the serializer where COPY and NonBreakingSpace are not present
21:46
<zcorpan>
or in some other way have the serializer output nbsp and copy instead
21:46
<annevk>
the serializer should only need five entries
21:47
<zcorpan>
what if you want ascii-only and don't like NCRs?
21:49
<annevk>
haha
21:49
<annevk>
once you get arguments like "Stealing content was never easier than with HTML5" you know the debate is over
21:53
<zcorpan>
heh http://twitter.com/tabatkins/status/30336539284209664
21:53
<paul_irish>
"Sorry, @onchange, I wasn't talking to you. Collision of microsyntaxes!"
21:54
<TabAtkins>
I need XML with Namespaces so I can distinguish between @ meaning attributes and @ meaning twitter names.
21:56
<Ms2ger>
You want curies, for the 140-char limit
21:56
<TabAtkins>
With predefined prefixes.
21:57
<Ms2ger>
In an OWL file you reference from your profile
22:00
<annevk>
foolip, fwiw, http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Video_type_parameters is now a "Registry" of some sort
22:00
<annevk>
in the sense that it is part of the "Registries" collection
22:00
<zcorpan>
hmm, apple.com uses SVG with <path>s as a background image for text in the navbar? boo. why don't they use real text + css text-shadow?
22:01
<Ms2ger>
That would work in other browsers?
22:01
<TabAtkins>
It woudl work in Safari. Why would they care about everyone else?
22:01
<TabAtkins>
(And yes, text-shadow has pretty good support.)
22:01
<roc>
why wouldn't SVG work in other browsers?
22:02
<TabAtkins>
Also, Ms2ger, we were wondering who you were this morning. I was convinced you were a Moz employee.
22:02
<david_carlisle>
zcorpan: for serialisation (expressed as xslt2 maps) in the entities spec I omit all the aliases, so nbsp and copy win over the others, easy enough to generate a list of unique entity names from unicode.xml (basically just omit mmlalias and html5-uppercase entity sets0
22:02
<Ms2ger>
Moz volunteer, atm
22:02
<zcorpan>
SVG as background images seems less widely supported than text-shadow
22:02
jwalden
hopes that svg background image has an intrinsic height and width
22:02
<roc>
yeah I guess that's true
22:02
<Ms2ger>
Otherwise you earn a hardblocker, jwalden :)
22:02
<roc>
but it's better than some -webkit thing :-)
22:02
<jwalden>
because otherwise they might be hosing themselves, as no browsers implement lack of width right
22:03
<jwalden>
Ms2ger: I have the patch close to plausibly done :-)
22:03
<jwalden>
the algorithm is a mess of complexity, tho
22:03
<jwalden>
if it had to block, I could finish it for then
22:03
<TabAtkins>
jwalden: I wouldn't mind reviewing.
22:04
<zcorpan>
if i disable images on apple.com, the navbar becomes unusable
22:04
<jwalden>
TabAtkins: I'll CC you when I have it working (right now it's only, um, not breaking things that deliberately/intentionally worked before), assuming you have a bmo id
22:04
<TabAtkins>
I think I do. One sec while I look it up.
22:05
<TabAtkins>
Yeah, I'm in under jackalmage⊙gc
22:05
<jwalden>
TabAtkins: is the account name something with "atkins" in it, or something?
22:05
<jwalden>
I'll remember that slightly more readily :-)
22:05
<Ms2ger>
Yeah
22:05
<jwalden>
but it shouldn't matter either way, really, I hope
22:06
<TabAtkins>
Ah, yes. "Real Name" is "Tab Atkins Jr."
22:08
<jwalden>
is this <div id="globalheader"> that has the SVG background image?
22:08
<jwalden>
looking at it in epiphany I get a data: png image in the CSS
22:11
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: have you put webm.html5.org on bitbucket or so yet?
23:31
<zcorpan>
so when is http://www.w3.org/TR/html/ going to point to html5?
23:33
<Hixie>
2022, presumably
23:34
<zcorpan>
hmm, time to sleep
23:34
<zcorpan>
nn
