Hi Janina, All,
I added a 30 minute slot on Monday November 11 from 13:30-14:00
(Shenzhen time). Unless I hear otherwise from you, I will assume this
slot is OK and that we will meet in WebApps' meeting room.
To help WebApps prepare for the discussion, I think it would be
helpful if you would please provide some background information. For
example, the URL of the "IndieUI User Context specification", the
"proposal for a new way for user agents to restrict access to certain
groups of media resources".
-Thanks, Art

Dear Colleagues:
The Independent User Interface Working Group (IndieUI) requests
approximately
30 minutes of time to meet with CSS and Web Apps (jointly or
separately) at
TPAC to acquaint your working groups with a new technical approach in
IndieUI
specifications.
The IndieUI User Context specification is moving away from a reliance
on a new
accessor method for key/value pairs, and toward an extensive reliance
on Media
Queries (new media features, and matchMedia) as the more appropriate
approach
for specifying the features we need. To address privacy and
fingerprinting
concerns, we will also be proposing a new way for user agents to
restrict
access to certain groups of media features based on user preference. For
example, if a site referenced a media feature related to video
captions (via
matchMedia or @media), the user agent may prompt the user to allow
access for
the domain. We expect that significant portions of our emerging User
Context
specification will overlap with work coordinated by the CSS or Web
Apps Working
Groups.
Therefore, we are requesting time with your group at TPAC to acquaint
you with
our approach and to develop an understanding of how best we can move
forward.
If possible, we would prefer a morning meeting time in order to more
conveniently teleconference our specification editor from North America.
Thank you for your consideration.
Janina Sajka, IndieUI Chair
