[16:50:47 CDT(-0500)] <athena> can't we just ship with portlets that work?
[16:51:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> essentially our best bet would be to really dig into the portlet APIs support for portal<->portlet content type communication
[16:51:26 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and go through and make all our jasig portlets correctly declare that they support the html5 content type
[16:51:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and then the portal can render a html5 theme if every portlet on the page declares support for it
[16:51:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and if not we have to fall back to something other than html5
[16:51:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> though I think you could still render the html5 theme
[16:52:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and just set content type to something like text/html
[16:52:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> its really gross
[16:52:19 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and a fairly significant amount of work
[16:52:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think we are going to need to start supporting html5, particularly for mobile
[16:52:29 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so perhaps umobile can help out with it
[16:52:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:52:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well umobile will be easier
[16:52:45 CDT(-0500)] <athena> so what does every single portlet need to support HTML5?
[16:52:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sicne you only ever have 1 portlet at a time on a page
[16:52:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> every portlet rendered on the page needs to support it
[16:53:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or it could render output that isn't valid
[16:53:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and make the browser barf
[16:53:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that's only true if there's content that's valid HTML4 that's not valid in HTML5, right?
[16:53:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> or if there is structurally invalid content I believe
[16:54:24 CDT(-0500)] <athena> does look like there's a distinction between HTML5 and XHTML5
[16:54:37 CDT(-0500)] <athena> perhaps we'd be in better shape w/ the non-XHTML version?
[16:54:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:54:45 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> its worth a try
[16:54:52 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it has been a long while since I played with it
[16:55:09 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> crap have to run
