Mez: < reviewing last meeting's minutes>

<Mez> Whether the user has visited the site in the past with this instance of the user agent

<Mez> Whether the user currently has stored credentials for this site in this instance of the user agent

Ian: What does "instance" mean? E.g in a multi process environment

Mez: Does "this user instance" work?

Ian: Not sure

Yngve: This "browser profile"?

<Mez> Whether this browser profile has visited the site in the past

<steele> +1

<Mez> Whether the user has visited this site with this browser profile

joe: Have concern with "profile" is not defined anywhere, is "user" sufficient?

<Mez> a user profile is a representation of a user's saved state

Ian: "User's saved state"; users can have multiple profiles

jvkrey: Why specify so precisely? Practically we can't anticipate what a user have done in another profile. Just makes it complicated

<Mez> Whether the user has visited the site in the past

<Mez> Whether the user has stored credentials for this site

Mez: agree philosophically, but...

Ian: was satisfied with original text

Mez: Can point to this session, implementation notes will also help
... <Auction > Going with old text

<Mez> http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/drafts/rec/rewrite.html#error-warning

<Mez> These warnings SHOULD be used if the likelihood of danger is present, but

<Mez> cannot be confirmed.

Mez: next comment

<Weighing SHOULD vs. MAY>

Ian: are WARNING and DANGER mutually exclusive? Could one argue that their DANGER ui also meets the criteria for WARNING?

Ian: alternately, could we say "SHOULD do WARNING or higher"

Mez: Think reviewer is writing about "really close" to determining danger
... But think current language handles that case

<steele> thinking

Mez: Looking at next comment, about definintion of Warning vs. Danger

Mez: warnings offer options, danger does not

ian: Chrome offers next action, but for danger that may be "close tab", "leave page" etc.

Mez: Can see the reviewer's point, but hard pressed to offer good changes

<steele> I think that 6.4.2 is correct -- unless the browser has 100% knowledge of danger -- SHOULD display a WARNING/CAUTION message

Mex: XMLHTTP reqeuest comment

<steele> so we should point the the reviewer to this discussion

<Mez> http://www.w3.org/2006/WSC/drafts/rec/rewrite.html#dynamic-content

<steele> and better define the differences betwene DANGER and WARNING perhaps

Mez: Which error situation?

Joe: Dynamic content changed security level of document

<Mez> this specification permits either handling the error situation described above as a

Mez: "Any error" may be to broad. Change to "Errors described above"?

<steele> +1

Mez: <auction> accepted

Mez: 4.2: Suggests keeping current language

Joe: Suggest "Identity information" is information used in the "identity signal"

Mez: Asks Joe to make proposal

<steele> how about: "Definition: Identity information is information about the web site which is used to present the identity signal"

<steele> actually "web site" should be "web page"

<Mez> position it right after web page
