Notes related to Globalization Ad Hoc group items. - Final document has to be ready by the end of February 2012 - Comments from TC39 meeting incorporated into a final document by mid April (hopefully the comments are minimal) - ES 262 test harness should be used - we should talk to the test harness maintainer (he is on parental leave as of yesterday, but Bill Ticehurst, Microsoft, is a good alternative contact) - Plan for test 262 should be presented at the March meeting (TR for separate spec, but TC39 needs to work it out - what’s exactly needed?) - Add an Annex to the draft with informal/explanatory part of the doc (again, by February) - Norbert gave Internationalization group status update as item 4.3 - Norbert created slide deck based on our 11/15/2011 meeting at Google, which he is going to present as item 5.3 of the TC39 meeting agenda
Technical presentation and discussion (item 5.3) - setDefaultLocale on Globalization (implement a way to change default locale) - Move localeList into options parameter? - Sync up with HTML5 time element ( http://css.dzone.com/articles/html5-time-element-returned,<http://css.dzone.com/articles/html5-time-element-returned> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Nov/0011.html) - Globalization namespace maybe taken by jQuery plugin - Use modules? (may be done ahead of standard) - or use other namespace - they are proposing Object.System but will have to hash it out on the list - API too Java like? Maybe implement shortcuts without user needing to new DateTimeFormat to format - We need to initiate discussion on es-discuss about namespace and API - Supplementary characters - some things are in UTF-16 some are not - specify that our algorithm uses UTF-16 encoding - Introduce ValueError to core language? (maybe use TypeError, or use .error property of exception object to detect/change) -- Nebojša Ćirić
