This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your ietf.org mailing
list memberships.  It includes your subscription info and how to use
it to change it or unsubscribe from a list.

You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or
configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery
or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on.

In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such
changes.  For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of
the list (for example, mailman-request@ietf.org) containing just the
word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to
you with instructions.

Shipped!

I sent out this as a 3-week "request for comment" rather than a normal Last 
Call (3 weeks being a 2-week call lengthened by 1 week for the IETF week).

Hope I described it rightly!

Hi,

    Below is the text I propose to send to the tools-discuss and
wgchairs mailing lists:

--------

Hi,

    The TOOLS team is in need of some new members.

With the IETF-wide call for comments on the requirements for a draft
submission tool, draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06 [1] we are
approaching the completion of our first task.

However, the list of desirable tools we would like to work on [2]
is large enough that we would like to go forward on several of them in
parallel, and for that more manpower is needed.

If you are interested and are able to contribute to this work, or if
you know someone else who might be interested, please send a note to
tools-team@ietf.org .

For more information on the TOOLS team, visit the charter page [3]

	Thanks!

		Henrik

FYI, I've been working on my databases, parsing all_ids.txt and
1id-abstracts.txt, to add to the dependencies, RFC-Editor's Queue
and I-D Tracker dumps.  A read-only view of most (some of the tracker
data is hidden from this view, since a very small percentage of it
is marked "private") of the data I'm collecting is at

https://rtg.ietf.org/phpmyadmin/?pma_username=ietf&pma_password=ietf

I'm still working on figuring out the tools to make the data useful,
and figuring out how to make it easy for others to mirror it.

  Bill

Sorry I missed this morning...

I suggest adding to the announcement, after

We're especially interested in people with experience in IETF processes 
(working group chairs, document editors) and experience with 
document and workflow automation software.

Hi,

   The TOOLS team is in need of some new members.

With the IETF-wide call for comments on the requirements for a draft
submission tool, draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06 [1] we are
approaching the completion of our first task.

However, the list of desirable tools we would like to work on [2]
is large enough that we would like to go forward on several of them in
parallel, and for that more manpower is needed.

If you are interested and are able to contribute to this work, please
send a note to tools-team@ietf.org, indicating items in [2] which
you find interesting and would like to work on.

If you know someone else who might be interested, a note to the
tools-team@ietf.org to that effect would also be appreciated :-)

For more information on the TOOLS team, visit the charter page [3]

	Thanks!

		Henrik

Thanks - I'm afraid the announcement is already sent, though.
Hopefully it will give us the right kind of people, even if we
missed this clarification...

Henrik,

	Here are some bullets for your slides. Please feel free to edit as needed  
and let me know if you need anything else.

* ID Submission Toolset
   http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06.txt
	- Goals
	- Features
	- Implementation stages
	- Status and plans
	
* Goals
	- painless submission of most drafts
	  (at least as easy is it is today)
	- fast draft posting
	  (seconds, not days)
	- negligible Secretariat involvement/overhead
	- reliability
	  (limiting effects of "bad" submissions and attacks)
	- collecting meta-information for other tools and humans

* Features
	- automated checking of many idnits
	- automated metadata extraction
	- web interface (idnits checked before posting)
	- email interface (idnits warnings sent back after posting)
	- verification of access to submitter email
	  (weak, but better than what we have now)
	- accepting XML sources and other legal formats
	- manual (via Secretariat) posting mode as a last resort

* Implementation stages
	- Trial: plain text format, core functions (45 days)
	  (frees Secretariat from handling at least 70% of the drafts)
	- Production: XML and plain text formats (100 days)
	  (Secretariat handles only unusual drafts; other tools use metadata)
	- Enhancements: other formats, bells and whistles (oo)

* Status and plans
	- IETF call for comments until November 24th (please review!)
         http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tools-draft-submission-06.txt
	- Publish as an Informational(?) RFC after addressing review comments
	- Implement the Trial stage
	- Launch


HTH,

Alex.

Hello Donald,

    Sounds good! :-)  

(Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been travelling...)

We'll round up all the new suspects after Washington, and sit
down and look at new tasks.


 	Regards,

OK. I will, by the way, be at the Washington meeting. And the following week I will be at the IEEE 802 meeting in San Antonio but will be in email contact.

Thanks,

A minor comment: The draft repeatedly refers to CGI, a very specific 
technology for active web pages. However, most reasonable modern 
implementations will use something other than CGI, such as PHP, ASP, 
Java servlets and the like. None of these are accurately described as CGI.

You are also making an implicit assumption, it seems, that might be 
worth calling out, regarding user authentication. You seem to assume 
that there is no user authentication for the poster, although your 
security consideration section talks about some email reading 
verification. From a quick read, I don't see this described anywhere.

I think you will need user accounts in any event for working group 
approvals.

In any event, I think it would be helpful to describe explicitly whether 
you're looking at a stateless model (where anybody can submit the draft, 
with no authentication) or a stateful model (where users have accounts, 
only certain users can update a draft, etc.). I think both will work for 
submission, unless you worry about impostors.

My personal experience after thousands of papers automatically submitted 
(see edas.info): email submission to robots sucks. It works well enough 
for 90+% of the cases, but requires manual intervention for the rest. 
Just to name a few problems: mailers might automatically attach 
signature bodies, so the recipient program has to be smart enough to 
know which body part is the draft and which is a vCard and whether there 
might be several different drafts or draft formats attached. It has to 
deal with encrypted or signed mails, gzip'ed and compressed body parts. 
Not all mailers use Content-type correctly. You'll get TNEF attachments 
courtesy of Outlook or people who don't understand the difference 
between cut-and-paste and attach. You'll get "automated" friendly 
conversion of TXT into HTML. I tried programming all the cases for my 
conference tool and in the end, just gave up - it would invariably fail 
for somebody just before the submission deadline. Lots of people wanted 
email submission a few years ago, but I haven't heard anybody 
complaining about the removal so far.

Henning

IMO, CGI is a reasonable modern technology to implement the web interface  
of the ID submission Toolset. Said that, I think the choice of low-level  
technology should be left to the implementors. I hope that the implementor  
can pick the right technology given all the factors (e.g, code reuse  
between web and email interfaces).

I found two references to CGI in the draft. I agree that the draft is not  
clear whether CGI is mandated. It is not. Will fix.

    If a given submitter email address belongs to a lawful submitter
    (i.e., belongs to one of the lawful categories below), the Toolset
    performs submitter authentication during a Post Now action (R19/a).
    Otherwise, an error is reported (R118/a).

and

    External meta-data contains submitter email address.  As a part of
    the validation procedure, the Post Now action authorizes the
    submitter.  The initial action implementation checks that the
    submitter has access to email sent to that address (R38/a).
    Eventually, the Toolset should accept client certificates signed by
    IETF, PGP-signed email, and/or other forms of client-side
    authentication to eliminate the weak and annoying email access check
    (R110/c).  If submitter authentication fails, the submission
    eventually and silently times out (R39/a).

Do you think more requirements need to be added? If yes, what requirements?

Specifics of the WG approval mechanism is out of this draft scope. I agree  
that, eventually, IETF should have optional accounts for those who want to  
use automated means of authentication. I am worried that mentioning  
anything like this in the ID submission draft will delay draft approval  
because many IETFers think that user accounts are evil. Hopefully, when  
several deployed tools can benefit from decent user authentication, we can  
document and recommend deployment of a simple but general/comprehensive  
IETF authentication framework.

It is something in-between. There is state, but not explicit accounts.

[good justification snipped]

Personally, I agree. Unfortunately, too many IETFers demand email  
interface because they want to "submit" drafts while not connected to the  
Internet. The current consensus is that the draft may not get approval if  
it lacks email interface.

However, it might be worth [re]considering email interface priority. Given  
implementation and maintenance costs, can we move email interface to the  
Enhancements stage? Can the Toolset handle 90% of submissions without  
email interface?


Thanks a lot for your comments! Please let me know if any improvements  
other than making CGI non-normative are needed.

Alex.

Thanks Alex,

    This was very good.  I've put together slides for this now, and 
expect to do the rest of them this evening, and put up pdf versions
of the slides then, if anybody wants to comment.

Hi,

Here is the proposed agenda for today's meeting.

---------------------------------------------------------
Connection details:

To join the call, dial +1-734-531-0125 and enter PIN 0151989.

One can also join the call by dialing:
 sip:session_0151989@edial.internet2.edu 
on a SIP-enabled voice communications client. 

If the SIP client cannot dial URLs, you can have the conference
system call you if you have the sip URL for your phone.  Go to
 https://edial.internet2.edu/call/0151989
and type in the URL to your phone, and follow the directions.
---------------------------------------------------------

Agenda:

1. Agenda bashing

2. New team member: Donald Eastlake III

3. Comments on minutes from last teleconference.

4. IETF meeting slides:

	http://tools.ietf.org/slides/61/ietf-61-tools-team.pdf

5. Status of I-D submission tool draft

	Comments from the genarea meeting indicated no
	major comments on the current draft - most comments
	were on making a policy change to requiring xml to
	be submitted.

	Call for comments expires on Nov 24 (in one week).
	Few comments so far.  Next draft will be submitted
	for publication as informal RFC.  Last chance to
	read through and fix things.

7. Next work items

	The current priority list has been posted for comments
	to the wgchairs list.  To the next meeting, I'd like
	to settle this as firm for now, with a possible revision
	to be done after the next IETF.

7. Charter update

	I'd like to propose a charter update on the following
	points:

	1. Add new milestones in accordance with the finalised
	priority list of work items.

	2. Add a clause indicating that the tools team may run
	an ietf-owned server which hosts tools we set up and/or
	maintain ourselves, as a complement to secretariat-run
	servers.

8. Action item review.

  * Alex: 	Assist with slide text about the submission tool for
		the genarea slides
	Done

  * Henrik:	Put together the slides, combining Alex' text with
		general info, call for new team members, and priority
		list info.
	Done

9. Any other business.

10. Action items for next week:

11. Next meeting:

  Teleconference Wednesday 24 Nov, 17:00 GMT (same local time as
  today).

Hi,

Here are the minutes from today's meeting.

---------------------------------------------------------

Agenda:

1. Agenda bashing

	Nothing

2. New team member: Donald Eastlake III

3. Comments on minutes from last teleconference.

	None

4. IETF meeting slides:

	http://tools.ietf.org/slides/61/ietf-61-tools-team.pdf

5. Status of I-D submission tool draft

	Comments from the genarea meeting indicated no
	major comments on the current draft - most comments
	were on making a policy change to requiring xml to
	be submitted.

	Call for comments expires on Nov 24 (in one week).
	Few comments so far.  Next draft will be submitted
	for publication as informal RFC.  Last chance to
	read through and fix things.

6. Next work items

	The current priority list has been posted for comments
	to the wgchairs list.  To the next meeting, I'd like
	to settle this as firm for now, with a possible revision
	to be done after the next IETF.

	Alex: 	Item 5, Would like to work on draft status pages, but 
		can work on other stuff too.  Also item 2, but
		would like not to be lead on that.

	Stas:	Item 7, Notification service, merged with 11, RSS
		and Atom feeds

	Larry:	Item 3, Common components, requirements

	Maybe re-arrange priority a bit, working on meta-data
	in parallel with some other items (like those mentioned
	above)

	Work on meta-data on the wiki page to start with, and
	update according to experience with other items.

7. Charter update

	I'd like to propose a charter update on the following
	points:

	1. Add new milestones in accordance with the finalised
	priority list of work items.

	2. Add a clause indicating that the tools team may run
	an ietf-owned server which hosts tools we set up and/or
	maintain ourselves, as a complement to secretariat-run
	servers.

	Alex: Maybe we're mixing to many issues here.  Setting up
	a server is easy, maintaining it is heavy.  There's also
	a question of ownership of tools - this is separate from
	ownership of the server.  Tools must be open source.
	
	Alex: Deploying tools which don't require support seems to
	make sense, while deploying tools which require support
	from the team is out of scope.

	Larry: We could write down what we think the operational
	requirements are for such a server, rather than ourself
	getting into support of it, and then it's up to the
	management to get the needed resources.  HW + BW + support.
	Let's identify what it takes to run this as a service.
	We should not get into the issue of prejudicing whether
	fortec could win a bid or not - we should just specify
	the requirements for a service like this.  Maybe Bernard
	could help with developing a Service Level Agreement.

8. Action item review.

  * Alex: 	Assist with slide text about the submission tool for
		the genarea slides
	Done

  * Henrik:	Put together the slides, combining Alex' text with
		general info, call for new team members, and priority
		list info.
	Done

9. Any other business.

	None

10. Action items for next week:

  * All:	Participate in the Work item / priority discussion

  * Stas: 	Start looking at Notification Service Requirements

  * Alex:	Start looking at Draft Status Page Requirements

  * Donald:	Start looking at WG Meeting Scheduler Requirements

  * Henrik:	Put together new charter proposal

  * Larry:	Have a nice vacation :-)

11. Next meeting:

  Teleconference Wednesday 24 Nov, 17:00 GMT (same local time as
  today).

A couple of people have tried my xxe plugin and found that it wouldn't
open files that xml2rfc processed just fine - in these cases it's that
xml2rfc doesn't validate the XML and has a lenient parser.

This raises a problem, in that we don't really want to have invalid
XML in the repository (right?) but we also don't want people to have
the "but it works fine on my system, it only barfs when I upload it!"
problem.

Any thoughts?

  Bill

Correct.

I am not sure what it would take to (a) convince Marshall that xml2rfc 
support of XML needs to be fixed and (b) fix it. Marshall has stated 
that the XML parser inside the xml2rfc Tcl script is old/crufty; he 
was understandibly reluctant to change it. I do not know whether 
better parsers exist for Tcl.

Alex.

If the server uses the same software that most people would use for
processing XML, maybe the problem would not be very severe?

Let me try to explain: xml2rfc software does not catch some XML bugs. 
Other tools that will be written to process posted XML sources (for 
reasons other than draft formatting) would have problem dealing with 
posted XML sources submitted by authors that use nothing but xml2rfc.

In short, like Bill said, we should not post invalid XML.

If we use an XML validator to reject invalid XML sources when posting 
drafts (after preprocessing them to resolve include PIs), some (many?) 
authors would have a difficult time fixing their XML sources because 
they do not use anything but xml2rfc, and xml2rfc does not complain.

Does this clarify?

Thanks,

Alex.

I believe I understand that.  Why not just run xml2rfc, the same
software as most authors would be using to deal with XML, on the
server and accept any XML that xml2rfc likes, whether another
validator likes it or not?  What would be the danger in admitting a
syntax error that xml2rfc happily ignores?

Because there will be other tools trying to parse posted XML and they 
cannot ignore broken XML. In other words, while xml2rfc might be the 
only "producer" of XML, there will be many more consumers.

I'm concerned about the people who use vi or emacs for processing
XML, generate something that xml2rfc is capable of rendering but
is not actually XML, and then get their draft submission rejected.

(Aaron from the RFC-Editor found that one out of the 3 files he
tried was malformed; Pekka Savola emailed me and said that he
always just puts a bare "&" in the text when he wants an "&" so
presumably any of his drafts that contains an "&" are malformed.)

I'm not. Geez, we have standards for a purpose. The posted Internet
Drafts in XML actually need to be interoperable with XML processing
tools -- beyond formatting by xml2rfc -- if we're going to get
any benefit out of them being posted in XML.

I mean, "XML" isn't just some buzz-word, there is actually a standard.
And, interoperability is defined by the standard, and not what
one particular popular tool happens to evaluate.

And I have to give this rant to people who actually are supposed
to be familiar with "standards" and why anyone gives a hoot
about what they say.

Why don't we just skip the IETF and tell people to reverse-engineer
whatever it is that Cxxxx or Mxxxxxx ship?

So he's wrong and he can put his lazy fingers into gear and
type &amp; when his first submitted XML internet draft gets
rejected.

I thought xml2rfc was a consumer of XML customarily (and a producer of
RFC-formatted plain text).

So, an automated extraction of something like an author name from XML
might barf.  So what?  XML isn't required, so having *some* form of
source code (indeed, the only existing form of source code for the
I-D) is clearly better than none.  If the tool starts complaining
about optional XML, I would bet most people would simply not upload
it.

I must be missing something.

Larry,

  I'm sorry that you read "I think we should pander to those who don't
write valid XML".  What I meant was that people have their expectations
set by the tools that they use - for example, at the last meeting, the
secretariat rejected some I-D submissions that didn't use the boilerplate
that's in 1id-guidelines.txt, which Henrik's "idnits" tool doesn't check
for.  The user's expectation was, "I used this tool to check for problems,
and it didn't have any, so why did it get rejected?"

  I expect to see the same expectations set when the XML I-D submission
tool gets deployed - "the draft formatted when I ran xml2rfc, so why did
the web site reject it?".  Working towards setting expectations (and
in particular this expectation, since we know that it's likely to
actually happen) should be part of our charter - otherwise we're setting
ourselves up for failure.

  Bill

Yes, that's why I surrounded "producer" in quotes. By accepting 
invalid XML, xml2rfc effectively produces invalid XML as far as IETF 
infrastructure is concerned. It is the author who is the actual 
producer here, of course, but most authors do not care about XML 
validity (as long as xml2rfc works). The tools do.

I think it would be a serious design mistake to accept invalid XML as 
a significant part of IETF infrastructure. I do not think that broken 
XML is better than none. If you do not see that as a problem, I do not 
think I can convince you otherwise (and you would not be alone, since 
many IETFers believe in "garbage in, goodness out" approach to 
interoperability).

Complaining about and rejecting invalid XML would be much better than 
silently accepting it. I will add the corresponding note to the ID 
Submission draft. I do not think it explicitly mentions XML validity, 
and it should.

I agree. IMO, we should discuss this issue with Marshall (and xml2rfc 
community) and go from there. Any other suggestions? Do we at least 
have rough consensus that invalid XML should not be accepted 
long-term?

I am even more concerned that ID Submission tool implementation will 
not check for XML validity and accept invalid XML, forcing all other 
tools to deal with it.

I'd bet we have rough consensus that invalid XML should not be
accepted, ever.  I just think that we should have a plan for
dealing with the user expectations.

I'm not sure this is a case of GIGO, whatever the second G stands
for.  (In any case, personally I have reservations even about the
BLIWYASIWYS motto [be lenient...].)

Are you saying that having imperfect XML that still works with xml2rfc
would have negative utility?  Or is ``silently'' the operative word?
I would have no problem with doing a real XML validation and issuing
warnings, but turning the warnings into fatal errors would simply
train people not to submit XML to the excessively fussy -- for no
explained reason -- tool.

Is having the source desirable or not?  If it were a C program source,
would you prefer to only have the executable without the source if the
source fails lint but compiles without problems?

It should check PDF validity then, as well.  (I think both are about
equally silly.)

Many things have standards and deviations from standards.  I don't
delete from my system's /usr/src all C source code that is not real
C99.  I'd prefer it to be perfect, sure, but even imperfect source
code is better than none.

The right question isn't whether invalid XML is bad (it clearly is),
but what would a user -- who is not required to submit XML -- do if
the tool is fussy about something in his XML.

Marshall produced xml2rfc to solve a particular problem: let
people write documents in XML and then produce the actual
documents that people read: ASCII, nroff, and HTML.

We're trying to solve a slightly different problem, so we
shouldn't expect an exact match.

I see no reason to expect xml2rfc to do validation. Personally,
I prefer Julian Reschke's .xslt transformation to turn the
.xml into nice-looking HTML, but I imagine most xslt tools require
valid XML.

I imagine we could offer other transformation tools beyond
Marshall's if they were interesting and valuable.

We could set expectations by telling people other ways to validate
their XML. It's not a complex DTD.

I think that:

* Invalid XML should not be in the archives, long-term

* Short-term, rejecting sources which xml2rfc accepts is
  probably counter-productive

* We should talk to Marshall about the problem - any long-
  term resolution will have to be based on the tools people

  XML

* There may be an interim solution (haven't verified this)

  up the kind of errors which xml2rfc accepts - or maybe a
  custom script could do it.

Consider the long list of available XML validation tools:

http://xml.coverpages.org/check-xml.html

(or Google for "XML validation tool", which is how I found this).


> * Short-term, rejecting sources which xml2rfc accepts is
>   probably counter-productive

If we're able to give clear diagnostics about why the
XML fails some other validation, I don't think that would
be counter-productive. We could also point people at
XML validation tools and ask them to check their documents
before they submit, or we could offer a "checker" tool
which would allow authors to check their documents
*before* they were ready to send them in.

> * We should talk to Marshall about the problem - any long-

I don't think we should rely on Marshall to provide the
validation tool. Marshall's tool is fine for what Marshall
intended it for.

"HTML tidy" only cleans up HTML, not XML.

Mmm, the most important point I was trying to make was 

   "						- any long-
   term resolution will have to be based on the tools people
   use giving them proper feedback, resulting in well-formed
   XML"

Oh?  Are you quite sure?  I've used it to validate and
massage XML...

A tool for fixing up XML would be nice.  I'm not sure, though, that it
needs to run on IETF I-D submission page.  Having it as part of
xml2rfc (which could then be more strict about what it accepts) would
seem like a better option.

That way, the IETF would not become responsible for maintaining a tool
that people will invariably find bugs in (the bugs could be not fixing
something that needs to be fixed, fixing it wrongly, or ``fixing''
something that's perfectly fine already).

I believe you are missing my point. You keep thinking of invalid XML  
sources as equivalent to C sources
that produce compiler warnings. They are not for two reasons:

	(a) invalid XML sources will prevent many (most?) XML tools from  
extracting _any_ data from them -- many XML parsers used by many tools  
simply fail on invalid XML, by design (C sources with warnings do not  
prevent compilers from producing machine code)

	(b) XML sources are used for more than producing draft formats (C sources  
are usually not used for anything other than compilation of executables)

In other words, for most practical purposes, invalid XML is equivalent to  
a proprietary, unpublished format. Or, if you insist, a broken C code that  
only "works" with one compiler.

A PDF draft is an IETF loophole, exception to accept complex drawings.
IMO, long term, PDF drafts should either be validated or banned (in favor  
of better formats that render complex drawings).

Addendum: Just to be clear, I would favor rejecting XML failing
validation if XML were a required format for I-D submission or the
only format.  (I do not believe that being fussy about optional
formats is productive.)

I agree, but have to note that the ID Submission Toolset might have enough  
power to force folks to use validation tools (or demand built-in  
validation from Marshall). For example, if IETF sees that XML sources are  
becoming increasingly useful, we can stop auto-posting drafts without  
them, essentially forcing most IETFers to use xml2rfc _and_ submit valid  
XML.

Whether and when the Toolset should do that is an open question.

Alex.

Many C compiler warnings mean that another compiler will or could
produce executable that works differently from the one compiler the
code works with correctly.  So the analogy stands.

The Tools team is not the place to make these decisions.  (In
addition, the incentive to accept imperfect XML is also greater than
the incentive to accept imperfect PDF: if PDF is rejected and the
author chooses not to publish PDF, the author's communication goals
will suffer; if XML is rejected and the author chooses not to publish
XML, the author does not suffer in any way; only the RFC editor and
whoever is interested in source-level diffs would.)

It would be a better option for IETF, of course. However, Marshall does  
not work for us and may not want to spend his free time modifying the  
xml2rfc-embedded XML parser because he had more than enough troubles with  
it already. Perhaps, if we have strong consensus that xml2rfc must only  
accept valid XML, IETF can pay Marshall or his helper to do the work?

BTW, I've found that "xmllint" (which comes with libxml2) tends
to give excellent error messages, at least for the cases that
I've come across so far:

wonk.badxml:2: parser error : StartTag: invalid element name
<title>I'm going to barf < less than</title>
                          ^
wonk.badxml:3: parser error : xmlParseEntityRef: no name
<organziation>This also has a bare &.</organization>
                                    ^
wonk.badxml:3: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: organziation line 3 and organization
<organziation>This also has a bare &.</organization>
                                                    ^

Especially if they're postprocessed to give some more info to an xml-newbie
(like the "no name" error could easily turn into "reminder: use &amp; to
represent &"), I think this kind of validation would be very useful.
xmllint also allows specifying a DTD to validate against.

True. And I am not suggesting that we pretend we can make any decisions.  
We can only suggest "designs" or generate "requirements". One of the  
proposed requirements could be that invalid XML is not accepted.

Here we disagree. I think that there will be less long-term suffering  
overall if there is no invalid XML in draft IETF repositories (compared to  
a situation where many archived XML sources are invalid).

There aren't too many .pdf internet drafts. About half of the
ones available are also submitted in .ps.
I think it would be useful to validate PDF documents,
not just that they are valid "PDF", but also whether they
meet a stricter profile, e.g., PDF-Archive,  http://www.aiim.org/pdf_a.

What other formats would IETF allow for complex drawings? SVG and
PNG? Perhaps inside 'artwork' tags in xml?

As far as XML validation:

Adding a pre-processing validity checker doesn't require any
work from Marshall at all.  It could be a completely separate
step.

I think we (tools team) should be careful to separate
'policy' from 'implementation'.

Some statements, do you disagree with any of these:

* Which documents are accepted or rejected is a matter
  of policy.

* The internet drafts submission tool MUST check
  documents and reject those that are not acceptable
  according to accepted policy.

* The internet drafts submission tool SHOULD also
  check documents for additional potential errors
  that might cause additional problems, and warn
  the submitter, even if the document is accepted.

* Different formats may have different validity
  and checking criteria, depending upon available
  technology for checking.

* We should encourage authors to check for all errors,
  even when we will accept documents with some
  kinds of errors.

* The boundary of which errors cause rejection and
  which cause warnings should be flexible, so that
  in the future, it can be possible to change the
  policy.

Excellent analysis, in my eyes.  I'd like to have this added
to the draft, provided we have consensus.

I think we agree that some source XML files that the authors use will
be valid and some will be invalid.  We both agree that having valid
XML is preferable to not having it.  So the question is about the
invalid XML files.

Would it be fair to say that you frame the choice as follows: invalid
XML or valid XML?

I see the choice differently: invalid XML (that still works with
xml2rfc) or no XML.

If we're choosing between valid and invalid XML, the answer is very
clear.  To me, the answer to the question of invalid XML vs no XML is
equally clear (some form of source code is better than none).  The
users of XML in the repository (including the RFC editor) will not be
harmed by the presence of invalid XML, because anyone can always run a
validator and simply not use the XML file if it's invalid, but no such
local choice is possible when there's no XML.

The realistic options are:

1. Leave XML optional and accept any XML that works with xml2rfc;

2. Require XML and only accept valid XML.

The choice of the first option can be complemented by working with
Marshall and the xml2rfc community to make the set
(accepted_by_xml2rfc - valid) smaller or even empty.

I don't believe that the Tools team has the mandate to choose the
second option.

Yes. It is also a matter of a particular implementation. Some IETF  
policies cannot be reliably enforced by a computer. We cannot (and should  
not try to) design a tool that correctly enforces all IETF policies in  
scope. IETF should not have an illusion that the tool (or the Secretariat)  
is a perfect policy enforcer, and IETF should have mechanisms to deal with  
their mistakes.

I agree with the intent, but since it is technically impossible to  
reliably identify many policy violations, this is not a MUST that any tool  
can satisfy. The "check" part is satisfiable, but the "reject those that  
..." part is not. Perhaps you meant "reject those that failed the checks"?

I agree with the intent. The exact wording needs to be polished to include  
a list of "additional potential errors" or some other way for implementors  
to comply and testers to test.

Yes, although checking technology should not be the driving force for  
criteria. Criteria should be based primarily on format properties. The  
technology will catch up, eventually.

Encouraging "to check for all errors" is almost useless, IMO. IETF should  
provide tools (in addition to human review) to detect errors.

FWIW, in the ID Submission draft, "acceptable errors" are called  
"warnings".

If by "boundary" you mean the "tool", then I agree. The tool should be  
flexible to accommodate policy changes. Unfortunately, this is not  
something we can test; we have to rely on IETF to select skillful  
implementors that build flexible tools.

Please do not get angry. I get picky when it comes to formally stating  
implementation requirements!

Alex.

True. That is, in part, why I do not care much what we do with them.

Agreed, but what can an author of a PDF draft do if their PDF draft does  
not meat PDF-Archive requirements?

Sure, but since there are so few PDF drafts, I do not think it is a  
problem worth solving now.

The pre-processing validity checker would be least annoying and most  
useful if it is a part of xml2rfc. If xml2rfc accepts invalid XML then we  
would have hard time convincing Stas (for example) that the ID Submission  
Toolset should reject invalid XML.

We probably have consensus with regard to intent. When/if specific  
requirements are polished, I would be happy to add those that are in scope  
to the ID Submissions draft. I suspect many are already there!

What usually happens though, is that code gets written to accommodate  
invalid XML and, eventually, all IETF tools would have to do it, because  
some IETF tools do it. Web browsers accepting invalid HTML is a good  
example why this is likely to happen and why this is bad. Note that W3C  
specs require browsers to reject invalid XHTML (I know my browser does).  
They have learned their "GIGO" lesson the hard way.

Note that RFC Editor is free to ask Authors for [invalid] XML sources,  
just like they are doing today. There are a lot more draft versions than  
RFCs, so I would give priority to the common case.

   3. Leave XML optional and accept only valid XML.

   4. Leave XML optional and archive invalid XML as a separate content  
type/format, suitable for virtually nobody bat perhaps RFC Editor humans  
(this is a short-term solution requiring more work than #3 so I do not  
favor it).

Yes, same for options #3 and #4.

Agreed.

Thanks,

To whom it may concern:

Subject:  DOS Web Crawling/DOS Web Robot

I'm tired.  I'm tired of trying to learn Java and how to use windows
applications, perl, and all the other weird robots.  I'm tired of someone
always asking me to pay for something.  (Though I'm not a cheapskate, I
believe some things should be free.) =20
We use all the search engines to find web sites.  They are free.  So shou=
ld
web crawling and web robots.  Call me old fashioned, but I liked DOS.=20
Though you had to learn a lot of DOS commands, it was still fairly simple
to use.
What I am looking for is someone who still knows how to program DOS.  Why=
?=20
To build a DOS based Web Crawler/DOS based Web Robot.  Why?  Cause DOS is
no frills, no bells and whistles.
What do I need the program to do?

I need it to do two simple things:

1.  Crawl the web
2.  Save the results in a .txt file

It's that simple!

If you think you can help me either find a DOS based one that is already
made, or create one, contact me at:

Thank you!

PS-  This is not spam.  It's a request.  If you received this email in
error, I certainly apologize.  aln

If you add "as far as reasonable", I agree. There are requirements (such as 
"must not contain conflicting copyright statements in addition to the 
mandated ones") that can't be checked for mechanically. A 
notify-and-takedown procedure for untestable requirement violation should 
be part of the overall procedure.

http://www.kavi.com/ offers hosted services for standards
organizations. 

Rather than having IETF administration manage consultants to produce
software, consider outsourcing to someone who specializes in
supporting standards organizations...

this is a matter the IASA and the IASA AD should seriously consider. Not 
the tools team.

Thanks for the input!

Hi,

Here are the minutes from today's meeting.

---------------------------------------------------------

0. Bill's data extraction scripts

	Bill has some scripts which extracts data from web
	available resources - we might use these as starting
	point for meta-data extraction.  Bill will make the
	scripts available for us to look at (as a tangled
	mess :) and database access, in order to be able to
	generate a prototype xml presentation of some meta-data.

1. Agenda bashing

	No changes	

2. Comments on minutes from last teleconference.

	None

3. Status of I-D submission tool draft

	The 3-week request for comments period expires today.
	Alex will summarise requested changes to the list and
	update the draft.  Henrik will submit for publication.

4. Go over revised priority list

   http://tools.ietf.org/wiki/ToolPriorityList

	Draft status page - revision control should not be
	part of the status page.  Belongs in the WG page
	components.  Also add community as draft status page
	users.

	Meeting scheduler item - the specific mention of MS
	Word as a format maybe should be removed.  Say "format
	for the typesetter" instead.

	Should scheduler support ICAP protocol??  No, wouldn't
	put that as a requirement.  Wouldn't mind having it,
	but is not needed.  Maybe something that give people
	downloadable information which can be merged with their
	schedules. iCalendar may be the most reasonable format
	for that.

	Meeting scheduler is not an easy-to-do item - this is
	something which if it works is a marketable item.
	- This might be a tool which aids a human, rather than
	a tool which automates the scheduling.
	- After specifying the requirements we might look at
	possible commercial tools for this
	= Bill looked at this, and found a greedy algorithm
	which kind'a worked - it might be possible to automate
	this.

	Add information about what items are assigned within
	the team.

5. Charter update

   http://tools.ietf.org/wiki/ProposedCharterUpdate

	Henrik fills in dates for the milestones, send a note
	to the list when ready to review.

	Give milestone years only for milestones which have not
	been assigned to somebody.

6. Action item review.

   * All:	Participate in the Work item / priority discussion

	Done

   * Stas: 	Start looking at Notification Service Requirements

	Have this on his plate.  First draft middle of December.

   * Alex:	Start looking at Draft Status Page Requirements

	Have started thinking.  Want to post first draft by Mon.
	December 6th.

   * Donald:	Start looking at WG Meeting Scheduler Requirements

	Not on call.

   * Henrik:	Put together new charter proposal

7. Any other business.

	Should we put deadlines on the first drafts upcoming?
	- Done.

8. Action items for next week


   * Bill:	Provide tangled mess of Meta-data extraction scripts
		and database access to the team, for possible setup of
		prototype xml meta-data publication.

   * Stas: 	Start looking at Notification Service Requirements.
		First draft middle of December.

   * Alex:	Continue thinking about Draft Status Page Requirements
		First draft by Mon. December 6th.

   * Alex:	Summarize draft-submission comments to the list,
		update draft to be ready for submission for publication.

   * Henrik:	Submit draft-submission draft for publication when
		it's ready

   * Henrik:	Update Wiki Tool priority list according to comments.

   * Henrik: 	Update proposed charter with dates.  Ask for feedback
		on list.  Submit to Harald when ready.

   * Donald:	Start looking at WG Meeting Scheduler Requirements

9. Next meeting:

  Teleconference Wednesday 1 Dec, 17:00 GMT (same local time as
  today).

I think sharing just the database is enough as a starting point and will  
save Bill some time (it is usually rather time consuming to share an  
entangled mess of cron jobs and such!). I thought that database sharing  
(without the scripts) is what we agreed on during the conference call.

Thanks,

Alex.

No, the notes were taken right on the spot and reflect what
we said.  And beside that the database alone doesn't give
any understanding of where the data comes from currently, so
I'd like to have a look at the scripts, too.  But I can do
the digging - no fixing and cleaning required.

If you say so.

I do not see the vital importance of current sources, but it does not 
hurt to know, of course (provided Bill is willing to spend time on 
giving you what you need).

Just collecting and packaging may take some time, but that's up to 
Bill to decide, I guess.

Hi,

    I've updated the Charter proposal page again - have a look
at http://tools.ietf.org/wiki/ProposedCharterUpdate and see if

Sorry to open up a previously contentious topic, but:

Is it enough for the file to be valid XML, or does it have to pass
the DTD?  33% of the recent files at http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/xml/
don't validate against the DTD.  ("Recent" means "since RFC 2451", which
was when the automatic conversion stopped generating invalid XML.  If I
include all the files, including the buggy automatically converted ones,
I end up with more like 70% don't validate).

3 of the files don't appear to be valid XML from xmllint's point of
view (one has -- inside a comment, two have [CDATA[]] sequences that
it chokes on but I don't see what's wrong with them so might be false
positives).

  Bill

It has to pas the DTD, IMO.

My primary concern are [future] tools that use XML libraries that will not  
deal with broken XML. I suspect that some libraries will not deal with XML  
that does not pass DTD validation. Also, there is little pragmatic  
difference between enforcing basic XML validity and DTD-based validity. So  
we should get all the benefits for about the same price...

You should probably test against the latest DTD in [1], not the one in RFC  
2629.

Of course, that's what I used.  (At least, the one that comes with
xml2rfc 1.26).
