Is each checklist item in the list necessary? 14:08:40 2.) Is each item required for conformance? (at what level? always?) 14:08:41 3.) What dependencies exist between the items? 14:08:43 4.) Are the items in the list sufficient? 14:08:44 5.) What's missing? 14:09:17 [ben taking notes w/in his document] 14:16:50 identified several issues in general to make them more specific to techniques rather than general discussions of the issues. 14:19:02 prioritizatin issue? 14:20:07 Adjacent image and text links that point to the same resource are combined. (HTML 9.3) - feel it is a priority 2 but maps to a level 1 14:23:02 what about drop mapping to 1.1 and leave only mapping to 3.2? 14:25:40 The alt attribute is used on each image element. (HTML 10.1) 14:25:52 relationship of checklist to test suite - will the checklist link to test suite? 14:26:04 b/c alt attribute could be present, but not pass the test suite. 14:26:38 test suite: IMG element must have an ALT attribute. 14:26:52 however, perhaps we don't require "ALT text should be short." 14:27:10 a checklist item about the quality of alt-text that points to these other tests 14:28:40 quality - provided by the general technique 14:29:22 ChrisR has joined #wai-wcag 14:30:23 +??P13 14:31:52 if follow the techniques should pass the test suite 14:33:39 should be stated that techniques are illustrative examples such that if employs somehow more likely to satisfy related success criterion as measured by tests in test suite. 14:33:49 (more likely to conform than if don't follow techniques) 14:34:34 we've been cautious about saying b/c there can be alternate paths than following our techniques, although we think our techniques is the best path 14:37:47 action: tim draft paragraph for intro of each techniques document that says something along the lines of, "techniques are illustrative examples such that if employs somehow more likely to satisfy related success criterion as measured by tests in test suite...and there can be alternate paths than following our techniques, although we think our techniques is the best path...and if find other path, let us know so can include" 14:41:38 The body of each object element includes a text alternative. (HTML 10.5) - split into 2 techniques, one for "future" one for "today" "future" techniques become optional. 14:42:08 action: michael split HTML:10.5 into 2 techniques, a future and a today. 14:42:59 today: descriptions are provided ...info about how to provide other than in the body of object since support for object is buggy or non-existent 14:45:32 combo checklists or html-only/general-only? 14:46:06 HTML and CSS are used in place of text in images. (HTML 10.12) - is there a level that we are requiring css for conformance? 14:49:41 +??P1 14:51:57 fyi: from WCAG 1.0 3.1 When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup rather than images to convey information. [Priority 2] 14:53:08 had comments that should be priority 1. 14:53:21 argument is that it is a user agent issue: if have alt-text should be able to magnify 14:55:06 HTML and CSS are used in place of text in images. (HTML 10.12) - required for AA conformance (not A). what do about mapping of the technique to 2 level 1 criteria? 14:56:57 future technique html&svg? 14:57:16 issue with licensing issues with fonts 14:58:18 webfonts work in svg 15:04:16 debate about pushing html/css for images with text to AAA conformance vs AA 15:06:23 -Tim_Boland 15:06:59 action: ben and someone else? go through and propose priorities/conformance levels with different tests 15:07:06 actions? 15:07:06 sees 3 open action items: 15:07:06 ACTION: tim draft paragraph for intro of each techniques document that says something along the lines of, "techniques are illustrative examples such that if employs somehow more likely to satisfy related success criterion as measured by tests in test suite...and there can be alternate paths than following our techniques, although we think our techniques is the best path...and if find other path, let us know so can include" [1] 15:07:06 recorded in http://www.w3.org/2004/10/06-wai-wcag-irc#T14-37-47 15:07:06 ACTION: michael split HTML:10.5 into 2 techniques, a future and a today.
