<h2 class="entry-header">Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-10-31 - 2011-11-06</h2>
|
|
<div class="entry-body">
|
|
<p>Last week, there was the annual <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/TPAC/">W3C TPAC</a>. The <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/">HTML Working Group</a> met (<a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/03-html-wg-minutes">day 1</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/04-html-wg-minutes">day 2</a>) and many other groups for discussing general issues. I introduced the <a href="http://www.w3.org/wiki/Open_Web_Platform">Open Web Platform</a> <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/archive/open_web/">weekly</a> summary and <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/03-html-wg-minutes#item10">asked feedback</a> on how to improve it or if I should drop it. I got mostly positive feedback and I will improve it in the next few weeks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are a lot of things to say about the <a href="http://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC2011">fruitful meetings</a> we had during this week. Maybe another time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>HTML5</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>time</code> element was dropped from the specification, but the community <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Nov/0011">requested to be restored</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is yet <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Oct/thread.html#msg146">another difficult discussion</a> on extensibility and how to handle it properly. Time to time, this topic will happen. This time, it is related to <a href="http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/av_param">specifying arbitrary attributes for Audio-Video</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>hgroup</code> element is not satisfying. Kornel Lesiński is proposing to replace it with the <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Nov/0042"><code>hsub</code></a> element with a simpler content model.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>(<strong>Do not copy that code in your pages</strong>.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code><body>
|
|
<h1>Title</h1>
|
|
<hsub>Subtitle</hsub>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Second Title</h1>
|
|
<div>
|
|
<hsub>Second Subtitle 1</hsub>
|
|
<hsub>Second Subtitle 2</hsub>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</body>
|
|
|
|
<article>
|
|
<hsub>The Magical</hsub>
|
|
<h1>Title</h1>
|
|
<hsub>That Has</hsub>
|
|
<hsub>Multiple Subtitles</hsub>
|
|
</article>
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>AppCache</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>When <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/offline.html#offline">developping offline applications</a>, we are using a <code>manifest</code> file containing the file to cache. There is a proposal to add syntax to the manifest that would to <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14702">allow always request files when online</a>, but not when offline. There is also a proposal to be less <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14704">dependent on the URL and have an additional identifier</a> to cope with minted URLs which tries to avoid caching (which IMHO is circular).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Canvas</h3>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>one feature Web developers are asking for is the ability to draw DOM objects to an HTML canvas. — Robert O'Callahan, Mozilla — <a href="http://robert.ocallahan.org/2011/11/drawing-dom-content-to-canvas.html">Drawing DOM Content To Canvas</a></p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h3>DRM</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a <a href="http://www.w3.org/2011/11/03-html-wg-minutes#item04">discussion brought to the HTML WG by the WebTV task force</a> to know if there is a possibility to add a mechanism to protect content. There is no resolution yet. On this same topic, an interesting article has been published on the history of the different systems proposed in the past.</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>There are more than a few reasons digital rights management (DRM) has been largely unsuccessful. But the easiest way to explain to a consumer why DRM doesn’t work is to put it in terms he understands: “What happens to the music you paid for if that company changes its mind?” It was one thing when it was a theoretical question. Now it’s a historical one. — <a href="http://opensource.com/life/11/11/drm-graveyard-brief-history-digital-rights-management-music">The DRM graveyard: A brief history of digital rights management in music</a></p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h3>HTTP</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A new draft has been published by James Snell for <a href="http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-http-prefer-04.txt">Prefer Header for HTTP</a>. The Prefer request-header is used to indicate that particular server behaviors are preferred by the user-agent, but not required for successful completion of the request.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2011OctDec/0152.html">version 17 of HTTPbis drafts</a> has been published too.</p>
