Hello,
The January 7, 2003 release of the CSS Print Profile specification
(http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/HTML-Version/CSS-Print.html) has three
unresolved issues, shown below. This message discusses the three issues in
the hope of resolving them as soon as possible.
Unresolved Issues:
===================
1. Should enhancements requested by Digital TV groups be added to the
Enhanced Layout enhancement set or become a new, separate enhancement set?
http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/minutes/Minutes-November-2002.html#dtv
Status:
Add dtv enhancements to existing enhancement set:
Supported by:
Kazuyuki MURATA, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co,.LTD.(PANASONIC)
Elliot Bradshaw, Oak
Don Wright, Lexmark
Discussion: This enhancement request adds a requirement for new
functionality and cannot be resolved before the next face-to-face meeting of
the PWG on January 20, 2003. One tactic is to release a "frozen" version of
the spec. before enhancements are added to the existing enhancement set --
effectively creating two versions of the enhanced layout extension set --
which is the equivalent to just defining two, separate enhancement sets.
The major question is then, if the dtv extensions will be added to the spec
and required of enhanced layout printers, should that happen now and if not
now when?
2. Border-spacing property of enhanced layout not effective,
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/www/hypermail/xp/0098.html
Supports requiring support of the border-collapse property
Jim Bigelow, HP
Elliott Bradshaw, Oak
Don Wright, Lexmark
Discussion: This issue effectively clarifies if an enhanced layout printer
must support both the separate and collapsed borders model of table
formatting. This may be new functionality, or something that companies
using the .95 version specification
(ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/xhtml-print/drafts/xhtml-print-draft-095.pdf)
have already investigated and dealt with and this is just a clarification.
For HP it's a clarification.
Question: Does anyone have an objection to adding this to spec before the
Jan 20th meeting?
3. Addition of Attribute Selectors: E[Attr] and E[Attr=val],
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/www/hypermail/xp/0102.html
Supports only adding E[Attr]:
Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products
Supports adding E[Attr] and E[Attr=val]
Jim Bigelow, HP
Elliott Bradshaw, Oak
Supports adding E[Attr] and E[Attr=val] in the enhancement set
Harry Lewis, IBM
Don Wright, Lexmark
Discussion: this issue has been contentious since the last face-to-face
meeting. Is there anymore discussion before we yield to the chair of the
working group, Don Wright, to determine how to determine the resolution of
this issue?
