JA: Noticed no techniques for 6.1, 6.2, 6.4
18:09:17 [JR]
JR: In 6.1, Write req given a lot of spac in notes.
18:09:37 [JR]
PP: Do any AT's write to the infoset?
18:09:43 [JR]
JA: Don't know of any.
18:10:56 [JR]
PP: Defintion of infoset just seems to describe XML
18:12:33 [JR]
Looking at http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-infoset-20011024/
18:13:00 [JR]
PP: COuldn't UA conform by just handing over the HTML doc...
18:14:09 [JR]
JR: Write req. seems to imply a centralized place for it
18:15:48 [JR]
JA: Does this have to do with AJAX?
18:17:59 [JR]
JA: CL can you ask Rich about implications of 6.1 - is AJAX related?
18:18:31 [JR]
Action CL: ask Rich about implications of 6.1 - is AJAX related?
18:19:12 [JR]

18:19:21 [JR]
JA: Is DOM3 a rec?
18:20:14 [JR]
JA: Yes according to W3 site.
18:20:47 [JR]
JR: Still a P1?
18:21:03 [jallan]
dom 3 http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/
18:22:35 [JR]
CL: Trend may be moving from DOM to access API (DOM info coming through access API's)
18:22:53 [jallan]
for assitive technologies
18:23:06 [JR]
PP: In Linux world, get info through Accessibility API, not DOM.
18:23:31 [JR]
PP: IN windows world AT's go back and forth.
18:24:31 [JR]
CL: HPR using DOM
18:26:02 [JR]
CL: So browser has DOM, but exposed differently on diff platforms
18:28:30 [jallan]
AT can use accessibility API or use browser DOM
18:28:52 [JR]
CL: 6.2 already mentions multiple ways to get to the DOM
18:29:29 [jallan]
What level of DOM implementation on current browsers?
18:29:37 [JR]
e.g. In the Java and ECMAScript operating environments, export the normative bindings specified in the DOM Level 2 Core Specification
18:29:44 [JR]
...In other operating environments, the exported bindings (e.g., C++) must be publicly documented.
18:29:52 [jallan]
how will changing to DOM3 impact compliance
18:30:30 [JR]
action JA: Review implementation report to see who complies with 6.2

18:35:29 [JR]
CL: IMportatn because MSAA didn't give good even access to attributes
18:36:30 [parente]
http://www.mozilla.org/access/windows/at-apis
18:36:42 [parente]
see heading "MSAA tree vs. DOM tree - what's the relation?"
18:38:13 [JR]
JA: Pull last sentence out as a tech "Developers should therefore use commonly available operating system supported interprocess communication features (such as semaphores) to ensure synchronized, thread-safe access.
18:38:13 [JR]
"
18:39:22 [jallan]
