This is a high level summary of IMAPEXT discussion Nov 8 2005, mostly focusing on consensus gathering (subject of course to ratification on this list). More detailed notes of the meeting can effectively be found in the Jabber room where we tried to convey what was being said in the room. http://www.xmpp.org/ietf-logs/imapext@ietf.xmpp.org/2005-11-08.html LISTEXT In WG last call. Chris Newman, Philip Guenther and Dave Cridland will review (full or changes) CONDSTORE Our "refactoring" of condstore document is believed to be without effect on requirements or protocol on the wire, merely a removal of a dependency. Since CONDSTORE is in RFC queue this still obviously merits careful review but it is our belief that this does not require pulling from queue. Chairs will post document changes to list and to ADs for verification before actually changing condstore. We noted that if the mirroring of flags<--> annotations is removed *entirely* from ANNOTATE, then this would have a significant effect on CONDSTORE. We will attempt to continue to reserve the flags namespace in annotations to limit the damage to CONDSTORE. ANNOTATE Simplification decided in Paris: make it optional to support private attributes. This isn't yet in draft but in Cyrus' local copy. Remove content-type and display-name attributes from the wire protocol. This means that clients will have to know the content-type and decide on an appropriate display-name based on reading specs or other out-of-band mechanisms. This decision does weaken the ability of IMAP clients to browse unfamiliar attributes and we recognize that. Cyrus will propose text. SEARCH should only operate on an annotation's value. This is more obvious anyway with the removal of content-type and display-name. We'll need some discussion about exact language for the draft so that we understand exactly how this works. Same thing goes for use of %/* in attribute names and applies to FETCH too. Cyrus is tasked with coming up with text. See decision on not mirroring flags to annotations but continue to reserve namespace to minimize impact on CONDSTORE. Cyrus will propose text. The per-body-part annotations could be removed to further simplify ANNOTATE. Further discussion is needed in Lemonade to determine their need for this feature. Chairs will follow up with Lemonade. IMAP ABNF This is going through last call and people should review. COLLATOR Philip brought a seemingly minor octet/character issue which turned out to be a white rabbit hole. Does collator operate on character or on octet? After 20 minutes discussion we concluded to operate on octet but explain how this ought to be functionally equivalent for character data. |
