Ian,

could you please have a look at my feedback from July 15:

 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/link-relations/current/msg00002.html>

and try to address it?

Best regards, Julian

My apologies, I assumed that the answers to those questions were 
self-evident in the edits made to the spec recently.

The purpose of those flags is to define conformance for HTML.

Relations can be updated to define how they work with HTML by using the 
process described in the Web Linking spec.

An example of a relation that we would not want to allow is rel=stylesheet 
on <area>, which we would want to disallow because it has no effect and 
is therefore likely an authoring mistake. Similarly, we wouldn't want 
rel=noreferrer to be allowed on <link> because it's not a link relation, 
it's a link annotation, and <link> doesn't create hyperlinks without a 
relation that creates one. Each keyword would have to be taken on a case- 
by-case basis.

Regarding the final parenthetical, I believe the templates fit what is 
described in the Web Linking spec.

HTH,

No, they aren't.

Yes. I'm not convinced that it's a good idea to move this into the IANA 
registry, nor am I convinced that the individual flags and their 
defaults make sense.

Do you think it's necessary to do so? Be default, I'd expect any link 
relation that we have to be usable with <link> by default. It would be 
very useful to understand why this wouldn't be the case.

Are you confident that <a> and <area> always have the same requirements?

I can see that noreferrer being the only link relation on a <link> is 
meaningless, but that doesn't mean it needs to be disallowed; there 
could be other rel values present, after all.

It does, this is an oversight in the spec. So we'd have to figure out 
unique names upon registration.

Going back to the original issue (hopefully providing context for those 
who weren't there): we discussed application-specific data when we met 
in Santa Clara last November. The use case that was provided was a flag 
that would allow user agents to decide what kind of links need to be 
followed when going offline or archiving a resource. That makes a lot of 
sense, and I'd support that kind of flag, hopefully described in a way 
that isn't totally specific to HTML.

What you are proposing is much more; it augments the link type registry 
with validation hints. I'm totally unconvinced that this is a good idea; 
in particular given the fact that it's an open question in the HTML WG 
how far validation should go with respect to these values.

Best regards, Julian

Ok... Do I have to convince you for the fields to be registered?

It's certainly not the case that any link relation is relevant anywhere. 
Suppose someone designed a link relation whose purpose was to identify a 
resource that should be notified any time an API call was made on an 
HTMLDocument object. That presumably wouldn't make any sense in an Atom 
feed. Similarly, consider "edit" or "edit-media". While they may be 
well-defined in the context of Atom, they certainly are not defined to a 
level that is clear enough for it to make sense to use them in an HTML 
document, so we wouldn't want to have an author accidentally use them 
(especially if they were just using them because they thought they could 
make up new relations and just accidentally clashed with the Atom ones).

As part of the WHATWG's rationalisation of HTML features a few years ago 
we made all elements that could create hyperlinks be consistently defined 
(as much as we can given legacy, anyway).


> Are you confident that <a> and <area> always have the same requirements?

They currently do. If that changes, we'll update the registries. Who knows 
what the future holds.

If something is meaningless, the author benefits from being informed of 
this, since it is unlikely to be his intent. That's what conformance 
checkers, and thus conformance definitions, are for.

I'm just trying to do what the spec says here.

There are three designated experts, and I assume you need to convince at 
least one of them. I'm one of those.

My understanding is that we want *future* registered link relations to 
be broadly usable. So for the example you just mentioned I don't see how 
a registration would suceed.

And add yet another column to the generic registry? Hm.

The point being it's only meaningless (in HTML) when it's the *only* 
link relation on the link. Thus, it doesn't make sense to forbid

   <link rel="noreferrer stylesheet" ...

just because

   <link rel="noreferrer" ...

might be an authoring mistake.

Well, the field registry exists so as to make it possible to use the 
registry for HTML, as I understand it. But maybe I'm mistaken, and we're 
not supposed to use the registry for HTML relations? I'm confused now.

Well it would be a pretty useless registry if it didn't match reality. :-) 
I would presume that if someone implemented such a value, getting it 
registered would be near-automatic, since otherwise we're just going to 
end up with clashes because people won't be able to register the values 
they're using, no?

That's possible, but that's an issue for HTML, not for the registry, no?

I see. Not sure what to do about that.

Yes, we want a registry that can be shared among HTML, Atom, HTTP, and 
other users of link relations.

But that doesn't necessarily imply that a specific application needs to 
off-load everything it wants into that registry.

1) You could re-consider the default ("not valid").

2) You could rephrase the application flags in a more generic way (as 
discussed last November).

..also, in the HTML WG, we really need to discuss whether conformance 
checkers ought to check link relations.

If someone tried to register that relation, I'd probably propose to use 
an extension relation type instead, or to prefix the short name with 
something that makes it clear it's very application-specific.

So, no, there is no automatism.

Yes, because it makes all future registrations more complicated. I'd 
expect new columns to be an exception.

Yes, the registry should just allow "noreferrer". That's my point.

Well, it's the use case you brought up (as far as I recall), and why the 
application data registry was added.

I think it's a good use case, and I expected that this would be the 
application data you're going to register.

One approach would be to simplify the application data as described 
above, and consider the remainder (if needed at all) something local to 
HTML.

It's unclear to me how I am supposed to use the registry then.

The default only applies to the existing relations, right? I didn't really 
want to pick a default at all, I just wanted to list the values for the 
keywords I was familiar with, and wanted to let the people who'd 
registered the other values determine the values if they wanted their 
keywords usable with HTML.

I'm happy to change the "default" to something else and just list the 
values differently, but that just seems like busywork, it wouldn't 
actually change anything in the registry.

It's unclear what this would mean. I don't think making things "generic" 
makes sense here. We're trying to solve a very specific problem for this 
application (HTML), for which we need specific data... how would we make 
this generic?

That seems out of scope for this particular thread.

Ok well that seems somewhat off-topic for this registration so I guess we 
should leave this for another thread.

Surely we don't want to update HTML each time there's a change to the 
registry? Or is that what you're saying we should do? I don't understand.

Just mentioning the options: one approach would be to have a second 
place for the additional information, another one would be to reconsider 
whether the additional information actually makes sense.

Yes, and again: I do not see why any of those would not be allowed in 
HTML, so I really think you have chosen the wrong default value.

It would change the value the existing registrations get.

I explained that already. Define behavior for user agents (as discussed

What I'm saying is that "noreferrer" should be allowed on <a>/<area> and 
<link>; as far as I can tell, your proposal disallows it for <link> 
(consistent with HTML5, so this is a bug in HTML5), and also disallows 
it for <a>/<area> (which seems to be a bug in your registration).

(There may be more problems, I just checked this one).

The proposal does both. Are you saying I should file separate 
registrations for whether something is a hyperlink or an external resource 
link, and whether something is allowed on <link> or <a>/<area>? I suppose 
we could do that but that would just make the interface with the HTML spec 
a bit more complicated, and I don't understand how that would help anyone. 
Are other languages also interested in the distinction between hyperlinks 
and external resource links? I assumed this was just an HTML issue.

I don't understand how it affects noreferrer. That keyword isn't listed in 
the registry and isn't in the proposal as far as I can tell.


At this point I'm unsure how to proceed. Is the registration request 
denied? Should I just send the request again but listing the keywords that 
are not allowed rather than the keywords that are hyperlinks, and with the 
default switched around? I don't really understand this process.

Actually, I'd prefer a single flag for link/external resource (and yes, 
this may affect other languages as well), and keep the conformance 
related flags out of the IANA registry (but again, this is just the 
opinion of one of the D.E.s).

You are right. Sorry.

So, taking another example where the flags are different for <link> and 
<a>/<area>: why is "bookmark" disallowed on link?

Apparently, we (you and I) are still discussing the registration.

Let me summarize again my concerns:

- Unconvinced that <a> and <link> require different treatment.

- Unconvinced that the IANA registry needs to carry metadata for HTML 
validation.

- Unconvinced that the default of "no" for <link> is right. If somebody 
defines a link relation, and it doesn't make sense on <link>, then it 
appears that something is very wrong with the proposed semantics of the 
link relation.

-> Proposal: just define a flag that reflects the "hyperlink"/"external 
resource" distinction.

Best regards, Julian

Gentlemen,

My (possibly and perhaps mercifully uninformed) view is that the issues =
you're discussing are specific to HTML5, and should be decided in the =
appropriate venue before bringing this forward for registration; the =
link relations registry is relatively neutral about how and for what the =
appdata fields are used for.=20

There's another aspect of this that I have concerns about process-wise, =
which I'll raise in a separate e-mail.

I will say that appdata fields are expensive in the sense that once =
they're added, they persist. So, we need to make sure that this is how =
they'll actually be specified before they're added to the registry. This =
is why adding new appdata fields is Specification Required, which =
implies permanence.=20

Regards,

P.S. Ian - when you do register something, convention dictates that the =
template (which you've pasted below) actually go in the document itself.

Hi Ian,

This registration is a bit unusual, in that you're registering using =
whatwg.org URIs, when the W3C -- an organisation that the IETF =
recognises as producing Open Standards --- as per RFC2026 -- is =
producing a specification that is substantially the same.

While whatwg.org isn't necessarily precluded from meeting the =
prerequisites of Specification Required (and therefore making =
registrations), we want to make sure that this isn't conflicting with =
ongoing W3C work.

As such I've CC:ed the W3C's liaisons to the IETF for their comment.=20

Philippe and Thomas: this is a registration request for new app data =
fields in the link relation registry, established by =
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-nottingham-http-link-header/>. =
In particular, I'm looking for a statement of whether this conflicts =
with current W3C work, represents W3C consensus, etc.=20

I see no reason here why the registration cannot point to the W3C
specification. The W3C HTML Working Group is producing the specification
for HTML, and pointing to somewhere would undermine the current process
and effort happening within W3C.

Ian, is there a reason why it isn't the case?

Philippe

I see.

Because it wouldn't make any sense on <link> as defined. This is why 
conformance is an inherent part of the keywords. In fact, I am surprised 
other uses of these keywords don't have the same problem. For example, if 
we added "bookmark" (replacing the current registration which doesn't 
match real world usage of the keyword) to the registry, then a user agent 
would be unable to properly process it in an Atom environment or when used 
with a Link: header.

The simplest example of this is rel=stylesheet.

It certainly would be inconvenient if the HTML spec had to use two 
registries.

There are very few where this is the case, but I don't see why that would 
mean a relation where this is the case is wrong.

I'll have to think about this. It's unclear to me that this would be the 
most convenient mechanism.

The issues had in fact been decided in an appropriate venue; I was 
surprised to find any resistance in the registration.

Sure.

Ah, ok. This is unclear in the registry's specification, which says to 
mail the template to the list.

The WHATWG is also producing the specification for HTML, so by that line 
of argument, pointing to somewhere other than the WHATWG would also 
undermine the current process and effort happening within the WHATWG.

But that's clearly nonsense. It doesn't make the slightest difference to 
ongoing work what the URLs are. :-)

I used the WHATWG URLs because the W3C doesn't publish a version of the 
"complete.html" file that I used in the registration, and because the 
WHATWG documents are generally more convenient to work with than the W3C 
ones (e.g. it has bug filing tools, nicer styling, etc). Also, the WHATWG 
URLs are more stable than the W3C ones at this point (the W3C keeps taking 
things out, splitting the specs into other specs, etc), and I didn't want 
to have to keep updating the registration.

(beware - do not open with performance challenged UAs such as FF 3.x :-)

This actually is an update for an existing registration. Looking at the 
text from HTML4 and the current text I do not see a problem with the update.

That being said, as the original registration refers to an W3C spec, I'd 
expect the update to do so as well.

Best regards, Julian

So maybe the "new" definition is simply incorrect. Why did you change it?

That seems rather arbitrary, of course semantics for a/@rel=stylesheet 
*could* be defined (scoped CSS comes to mind).

As Mark noted, we probably should discuss whether use of relation types 
should affect document validity over in the HTML WG.

If there are few, then this implies the default should not be "no".

That being said, I don't see anything in the definition of <link> which 
makes it different from what the HTTP Link header, for instance, 
defines. Maybe you could elaborate?

There was no conscious decision. As a matter of fact, there's a related 
bug (<http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10172>), which 
hasn't been processed yet.

But they are a pain to use in certain browsers due to their sheer size, 
and the scripts that are running upon load. (I'm even going to say that 
sending out these URIs almost is a DOS attack on some people's browsers).

That's why we'd want the links to point at a published draft, not at 
work-in-progress.

Correct, the consensus process of the W3C gives a chance to
organizations and individuals that are part of the Web community to
weight in on the content of the HTML specification.

In addition, I would note that it seems that this registration request
is premature and unstable, given the ongoing discussion within the HTML
Working Group, as pointed out by Julian Reschtke.

It is my understanding that this document is meant to be a stress test,
not an accessible specification. I believe you are well aware that this
version of your proposals locks up in many people's browser and I do not
see how a document, that is deliberately and unnecessarily made hard to
access, would be a suitable reference for the registry, if there are al-
ternatives available. It certainly locks up my browser of choice on any
computer I've ever used that was meant to support regular web browsing.

To match real world usage.

Well that's as may be, but currently reality isn't so. I presume you would 
agree that the registry should match reality.

The "default" is merely a shorthand for not having to list every current 
relation and its new value; if you would rather I just list every relation 
I would be happy to do that.

Elaborate on what? I didn't mention Link: headers here? I would not want 
to presuppose how Link: headers should work; I've already sent feedback on 
the Link: header work which has been rejected (e.g. the HTTP Link: header 
doesn't define how rel=stylesheet should work with the CSSOM, but that is 
apparently out of scope of the Link: header), so clearly my understanding 
of that issue is not complete. As such, I would certainly not want to 
presume to apply conformance requirements on usage of that header.

That's a different venue. The registration template links to a WHATWG 
specification, where this issue was considered and decided appropriately.

The WHATWG spec is a published draft standard.

The draft is frozen. Is there no way to register a link relation for old 
drafts? The HTML4 relations were registered without modifying HTML4, no?

I'm not especially interested in publishing this document through the IETF 
process (it would appear to be entirely busywork with no upside); does 
that mean that it isn't possible to register this relation?

If you meet the "RFC or Open Standard" test, it's possible to register =
it.

Note that publishing on the independent submission Informational RFC =
track isn't really "through the IETF process" -- it's at the discretion =
of the RFC Editor, which is a separate entity. See:
  http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5742

But there's no way to meet it that doesn't involve lots of busy work?

Draft formatting is plenty of work already. All I'm trying to do here is 
make people who are interested in knowing what "pingback" means be able to 
find out, and make people who might be tempted to use that name aware of 
the existence of the keyword's existing use. Having to republish an eight 
year old spec seems like a lot of overhead.

True, but presumably that's actually a good thing -- it means that if 
reality changes, and the spec is updated accordingly, the registration 
will still track it. It would seem that preventing changes is a bug, not a 
feature. (The spec is only currently frozen because Stuart and I don't 
think it needs changing at the moment and don't want to ramp up the 
process of changing it.)

I don't think there's any risk of the pingback spec's state becoming 
ambiguous. If hixie.ch goes down, and people still care about the spec, 
someone can put up a copy elsewhere and update the registration. That 
doesn't seem like a problem of any practical importance.

(side note: just because it should be in the spec doesn't mean it 
doesn't *also* make sense to post it here).

That being said, I'm fine with this registration if it actually refers 
to the W3C Working Draft (that is, <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/>).

The purpose of the registry is to tell people what the semantics of a 
link relation are. It really doesn't matter whether that's already 
implemented or not.

a/@rel=stylesheet indeed is not implemented (nor precisely defined), 
thus I have no problem with HTML validators pointing out that this is 
likely an authoring mistake. I just don't see why the type registry 
needs to contain this information.

If we augment it with flags for each and every context links are used 
in, it will become hard to maintain.

Incorrect; it's also the default for new values.

OK. So I'll just state: if a link relation doesn't have the same meaning 
in <link> and in Link: (the header field), there's a problem with the 
link relation, and we shouldn't register it.

So ignoring bug reports in W3C Bugzilla (which you yourself use as issue 
tracker for the WHATWG spec) means "was considered and decided 
appropriately"?

Obviously we disagree on this.

This thread is going off the topic of the field registrations, so I've 
only replied to the relevant parts here.

Surely for new values we would want the people submitting registrations to 
consider how their relations will work with existing applications and thus 
they will explicitly say what the values should be?

I would not at all feel comfortable defaulting all future values to either 
"hyperlink", "external resource link", or "annotation link". Which one 
applies should be carefully considered in each case. If no consideration 
is made, the only safe answer IMHO is "not allowed". This argues strongly, 
again IMHO, that we absolutely must have the latter as one of the possible 
options, if we are to have this field at all.

At this point my assumption is that the field registration is being 
rejected and we will have to deal with it outside the registry.

So to be clear, you are rejecting this registration unless it references 
the out-of-date snapshot document on the W3C site rather than either the 
WHATWG document or the current W3C document? (So in particular, you are 
rejecting this registration at least until the next snapshot publication?)

I haven't rejected anything. I'm saying that the registration should 
point to a stable document in W3C space, and I don't think the "current 
editor's copy" qualifies as that.

What's the problem with waiting with the actual registration until the 
new WD is out?

Yes, but the thing we do not agree on is the level of detail required.

The application data registry was created to deal with the use case of 
distinguishing between links and external resources, for instance, so a 
client knows what to archive or to download for offline access.

I think this is a good use case, and it covers *most* of what you're 
looking for.

See above: by defining the flag in general terms instead of 
HTML-specific terms, the question simply goes away.

Again, please consider simplifying the application data, as originally 
discussed.

The TR/ page drafts are out-of-date obsolete drafts. We shouldn't be using 
them as a reference, as they are almost by definition known to be 
incorrect. (I don't believe we have ever published a TR/ draft of this 
specification that was up-to-date when it was published.) I would 
definitely not consider it acceptable to have the registration point to a 
document that is known to be wrong.

It's not clear what benefit it would bring, either. That draft is no more 
stable (it changes frequently), it's no more representative of consensus 
(we have always had more outstanding known issues when publishing than 
the contemporary editor's draft), and it is technically inferior (again, 
it has always been published with more known issues).

Hi! I consider registering "longdesc" as a link relation. What is the 
best way forward for something like that?

Longdesc is the name of a link attribute of <img>, <frame> and <iframe> 
in HTML4. Yesterdady, the HTML5 working group issued a decision which 
precludes longdesc from being valid in HTML5 documents. That decision 
may change, of course.  However, an idea to replace it with <a 
rel="longdesc" href=* ><img alt=* src=* /></a> was presented to the 
HTMLwg at an earlier stage. And I would like to continue with that 
idea. Such a solution could also possibly broaden/generalize the 
concept so that other elements than <img> (e.g. <object>) could be 
staffed with longdesc links.

HTML4 describes longdesc as follows {my notes are within curly 
parenthesis, the rest is quotes}:

* link to long description (complements alt) {IMG}
* link to long description (complements title) {iframe/frame}
* This attribute specifies a link to a long description of the image. 
This description should supplement the short description provided using 
the alt attribute. When the image has an associated image map, this 
attribute should provide information about the image map's contents. 
This is particularly important for server-side image maps. Since an IMG 
element may be within the content of an A element, the user agent's 
mechanism in the user interface for accessing the "longdesc" resource 
of the former must be different than the mechanism for accessing the 
href resource of the latter. {img}
* This attribute specifies a link to a long description of the frame. 
This description should supplement the short description provided using 
the title attribute, and may be particularly useful for non-visual user 
agents. {iframe/frame}
* {the content of a longdesc is URI.}

A prelimnary registration form:

   o  Application Name: ???
   o  Description: a link from an object with a short (that is: basic) 
description to a resource containing a longer (that is: supplementary) 
description of the same object
   o  Default Value: ???
   o  Notes: This link relation is connected to accessibility use 
cases. The user should be able to expect that the long description 
resource is accessible. The purpose is to implement the semantics of 
the longdesc link attribute of HTML4 as a "normal" link with a longdesc 
relationship. The longdesc link is expected to be programmatically 
associated with short description, so that the user - if wanted - can 
jump directly from the short description at hand, to the long 
description.

I expect that it will take some time before I can eventually complete 
this project - so there is no need to rush an answer, I think. However, 
I would like to get some input on how it could be solved and if there 
are some principle issues which needs to be solved.

Maybe there's middle ground:

- have short RFC that defines the link relation in general

- have that document reference the "old" spec for the description of a 
specific pingback service implementation.

I don't think so. The requirement in "Specification Required" is for the =
specification to be both "in sufficient detail so that interoperability =
between independent implementations is possible" and "permanent and =

Ian, I understand that your argument is that even publishing it on your =
Web site makes it "permanent and readily available," since it is =
archived, copied by others, indexed by Google, etc. While that's good =
enough for your purposes, historically the IETF / RFC Editor have been =
reluctant to use URIs at all, much less URIs to personal Web sites to =
define protocols.

I notice that your document is in the W3C format -- have you considered =
sending it to them as a Member submission? Alternatively, I'd suggest =
reformatting as an Internet-Draft and submitting that.

Regards,

For all intents and purposes, there's nobody working on that spec. I just 
wanted to register the relation because people use it and I figured 
documenting that was an important part of the purpose of the registry. I 
don't have the bandwidth to do anything with it beyond that.

Sorry, I missed this request because it looked like a duplicate of the 
one for "alternate". It would probably a good idea to add the name of 
the actual relation to the subject line.

Format-wise, the same comments apply as for "alternate".

Contents-wise, I don't see any problem.

Best regards, Julian

The Web Linking specification says to use "NEW RELATION REQUEST".


> Format-wise, the same comments apply as for "alternate".

Could you elaborate? The only problem I recall regarding "alternate" was 
regarding the W3C being the previously-used reference for the keyword, 
which doesn't seem relevant here since it's not a registered keyword.

And I had the impression you didn't like bureaucracy :-)

It says:

That doesn't mean you can't add more information. IMHO.

Indeed. I meant to refer to the thread about which spec to link to when 
both a WhatWG and a W3C spec define it -- 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/link-relations/current/msg00022.html>.

As Mark wrote in 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/link-relations/current/msg00022.html>:

To which Philippe replied in 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/link-relations/current/msg00023.html>:

So optimally, the W3C and the WHATWG would come back to us with a 
recommendation what spec to cite. Extra points if it's the same for all 
relations defined in HTML5.

You didn't answer my question, Ian. Have you considered publishing it =
through the W3C as a Working Group Note?=20

Last I checked, all you need is consensus in the WG to publish the note.

Alternatively, you can, through your employer, get it published as a =
Member Submission.

Neither of these solutions would require editorial work, and only a =
minimum of process work. If that's not workable, you can (again) publish =
it as an RFC with minimal overhead (as described before).=20

Yet another method of moving forward would be for a third party to do =
the work (either editorial or process) to get this published. However, =
the copyright statement in the document prevents this currently; would =
you be willing to let someone do this for you?

As this shows, there are plenty of low-overhead avenues for you to have =
the document published in a manner that's permanent and readily =
available. Doing so would also give you an opportunity to register the =
HTTP header you're using.

Although we haven't said so explicitly yet, the discussion has clearly =
led us to rejecting the request. I'm sympathetic to your goal of getting =
existing relations published, but the process needs to be observed -- =
for good reasons, even if you disagree with them.

If you decide to publish the document in one of the paths described =
above, or find an alternate venue you'd like us to consider, please =
re-submit the request.=20

The only work I plan on doing to the Pingback specification is adding 
links to translations as people write them (four so far). I have no 
interest in doing anything else. I'm certainly not going to spend the time 
to rewrite it in another format, or try to wrangle it into a form the W3C 
pubteam would accept, and so on, just so that we can register the link 
relation. The specification is fine as it is, and people are using the 
link relation with no trouble.

I'm happy to send an e-mail or fill in a form or edit a page or some such 
to register the relation, in the interests of documenting reality. 
However, there is really no benefit to doing any more than that.

I have very little doubt that I am alone in this. I think the suggestions 
to change where the spec is published shows a view of the importance of 
the link relation registry that is at odds with the view that most people 
minting link relations will have.

there's a decision there to add these, we'll accept the registrations, =
as long as their status is unambiguous and the requirements for =
registration (stable reference or a reasonable expectation of one, etc.) =
are met.

Cheers,
