| XBL2 Primer - call for public input |
|

Hi All,
As we have mentioned previously, we are working on the XBL2
Primer in the hope that (when XBL2 gets implemented) it will make XBL easier
for developers to pick up. We are currently looking for public input on what
the XBL Primer should cover, including:
The focus of the document: currently we are focusing
exclusively on how to use XBL in a web development scenario (ie. just html and
xhtml). However, it might be nice to cover other things, like simple computer
games.
Tone of the document: unlike the XBL spec, the
document is being written in a relaxed style using an active voice. (ie.
̶0;In this section we will look at X and you will be introduced to
Y”;).
Real-world scenarios: are there any particular use cases you
would like to see covered? We are currently looking at using some of the Ajax
design patterns [1] in an XBL context.
Structure of the document: what would be the most useful way
to structure the document for developers? We are currently considering breaking
the document into four parts. Firstly, a gentle introduction to XBL that
discusses what XBL is, how to bind, how to use shadow content templates, how to
use an implementation, how to extend a binding, and event handling).
Secondly, we want to explain the content of the XBL spec
including every aspect of the language in such a way that it serves as a quick
look-up reference. We want each section to include at least one or more real
world usage scenarios and for each section to be summarised 'at a glance'. We
also want each section to link to appropriate sections in the XBL spec, where
the reader can find the normative descriptions.
Thirdly, we want to provide a section on XBL and
accessibility that covers how XBL can be used to enhance the accessibility of
existing web documents. For this section, we are currently considering making
an accessible Stock-Portfolio widget that provides multiple representations of
the same information (svg pie chart, html table, and spoken).
Fourthly, we also want to provide a "cheat sheet";
that shows for each element what it does, what the possible attributes are, any
default values, and possibly the content model, and link to examples.
The initial working draft of XBL Primer will be available at
the URL below. Please note that the current version is out of date, I will post
the latest version in next week and send out and email to this list...

Kind regards,
Marcos

You probably already plan to do this but if not, please
include links
back to the Spec itself. Consequently the Primer to a
certain extent
can be viewed as an annotation to the spec.
Going the other way i.e. having the Spec directly link to
the Primer
would of course also be useful but in practice probably a
bit
difficult to do e.g. keeping the docs in sync, requires
co-Editing, etc.

Art Barstow

P.S. Is Mikko's family name mis-spelled?

Thanks Art,
Fixed the error. The XBL Primer will make reference back to
the original
spec. The latest draft of the XBL2 Primer is now available
at:

Unfortunately I don't understand the XML Events
specification well enough
to work out how it works or how to construct a working
example. If you can
provide an example (and show why that example is XML Events
compliant)
then I'd be glad to include it.

Yeah I'm no XML Events expert either, so I won't risk
writing an example.
Regardless, it's clear what you are trying to say in that
section. Thanks.
