[18:01:41] Bjoern Hoehrmann 'd discuss that issue, but was asked not to... http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2005Dec/0048.html
[18:04:22] <Julian Reschke> Interesting.
[18:05:10] <Julian Reschke> Unrelated, but while you're here: would you want to collaborate formulating an HTML 4.01 erratum with respect to head/@profile?
[18:06:09] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> you mean change the specification so it allows multiple references separated by white space?
[18:06:33] <Julian Reschke> Yes. And state that all of them are significant.
[18:07:04] <Julian Reschke> It appears having that erratum -- even if the W3C doesn't know how to publish it -- would help with the related discussions in HTML5.
[18:07:25] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> doesn
[18:07:35] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> 't that drop the attirbute?
[18:07:59] <Julian Reschke> Yes, and I think it shouldn't, until there's a replacement, and there also needs to be a transition period.

[18:09:09] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> I understand the idea is that you'd just use the attribute. Content conformance requirements are just there so Validator's can teach authors best coding practises.
[18:09:58] <Julian Reschke> So what's the best coding practice, if you can't use the attribute, or can't put two URIs into it?
[18:10:17] <Julian Reschke> See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1264455&group_id=27659&atid=390963 :-)
[18:10:27] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> I'll tell you in 2022? :)
[18:10:46] <Julian Reschke> We should be able to do better than that?
[18:10:48] <Julian Reschke> !
[18:11:12] <Julian Reschke> As far as I understood your comments in the "tidy" issue, what you're waiting for is that the W3C fixes the spec.
[18:11:27] <Julian Reschke> I want that to happen as well, but before 2022.
[18:14:32] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> A HTML 4.01 erratum would go like this: add paragraph to 6.4 defining the uri-list type. Change 13.3 to reference that definition. Update DTDs to define a parameter entity for the type. Update 7.4.1 so profile has the type uri-list. Update DTDs so all uri-type attributes reference the uri-list param entity. remove "For future extensions, ..." from profile definition. ...
[18:14:59] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> ... update the Meta data profiles section accordingly
[18:15:11] <Julian Reschke> Ok, thanks a lot. I may try that.
[18:15:50] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> (the last one probably just needs to make singular into plural, and say that if there is a conflict among profiles, the results are undefined)
[18:16:00] <Bjoern Hoehrmann> (or first one wins or whatever)
