Include blinking, scrolling, and auto-updating as well in the second sentence. 18:09:55 JR: Maybe need to define moving to include other things. 18:10:12 CL: 2.4.3 Focus Order: If a Web page can be navigated sequentially,... 18:10:32 CL: I'd like to see the How to section of this guideline contain an example of a form (like composing an email message) in a Web page with left side and top navigation bars. If the form controls all have tabindex values greater than zero and the navbars have no tabindex values, will this page meet the success criteria? 18:12:31 JR: Subjective... 18:12:39 CL: Really can mess up SR users 18:13:16 JR: What are they trying to do? 18:13:37 CL: If you're tried to set up tab order, can't let it become broken 18:14:08 CL: Would like my example clearly spelled out 18:14:51 KF: Classic example of situation where people may not know what ot do 18:15:29 JR: Bad sign that we are having trouble understanding this. 18:15:56 CL: Presentation is also problematic 18:16:51 CL: 2.4.4 Link Purpose (Context): The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text and its programmatically determined link context 18:17:07 CL: In the definition of "programmatically determined link context" and in the techniques for this guideline, the term "sentence" is used, and it talks about the screen reader providing commands to read a sentence. There is no semantic markup for a sentence and no programmatic way for a screen reader to determine a sentence in HTML, so don't use that term. A screen reader should be able to handle the other techniques involving parent element text, element attrib 18:17:56 CL: No semantic markup foer what is a sentence. 18:18:26 PP: Agree 18:18:39 CL: Also, why is there a separate guideline for 2.4.8 Link Purpose (Link Text): The purpose of each link can be identified from the link text. (Level AAA) Just for different levels of compliance? 18:20:00 JR: Agree that this not needed. 18:20:11 CL: 2.4.5 Multiple Ways: More than one way is available to locate content within a set of Web pages where content is not the result of, or a step in, a process 18:20:35 CL: Is content only visible content or does it also include alternative content such as alt text, title text, etc? 18:22:17 CL: It should be. 18:22:29 CL: 2.4.9 Section Headings: Where content is organized into sections, the sections are indicated with headings. 18:22:43 CL: ckl: If using the title attribute of a frame and ARIA live region properties are sufficient or advisory techniques in addition to using the heading element, then I would reword this guideline to use more inclusive terminology. Maybe just changing the word "headings" to "titles" would be better. 18:22:52 JR: Agree 18:23:10 PP: Maybe sections are named. 18:23:57 CL: 4.1 Maximize compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies 18:24:07 CL: An assistive technology cannot be a user agent on its own - it requires the browser's (or multimedia player's, etc) interpretation of the markup and its implementation of that markup in a DOM or accessibility API. The wording of this guideline can impact what we do in UAAG 2.0 to distinguish the responsibilities of base user agents (browsers, players, etc) from extensions and assistive technologies. Maybe reword this guideline to: 18:24:07 Maximize compatibility with current and future base user agents as well as extensions and assistive technologies - and work with WCAG to provide an updated definition of user agent 18:24:47 CL: UA group is trying to distinguish the relationship between ua's and at's. 18:25:33 CL: Also AT's can't get info directly. 18:25:42 JR: Like CL's defn of ua. 18:26:13 CL: 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: For all user interface components, the name and role can be programmatically determined; states, properties, and values that can be set by the user can be programmatically determined and programmatically set; and notification of changes to these items is available to user agents, including assistive technologies. 18:26:20 CL: This information is made available to the base user agent (browser, player), which then makes the info programmatically set and made programmatically determined (through the DOM or accessibility APIs) for the assistive technology and user agent extensions. I think the AT and browser extensions need to be separated from the base user agent. 18:26:43 Topic: Kelly's Comments on WCAG2 18:27:25 KF: Took a look at PERCEIVABLE 18:27:33 KF: Guideline 1.1 Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need such as large print, Braille, speech, 18:27:33 symbols or simpler language 18:27:44 KF: This seems a bit watered down to me in the sense that it sounds like the purpose of the providing of the alternative text here is largely for conversion. This ignores at minimum the population of folks who for whatever reason do not use pictures but are not doing any kind of conversion. As written this just seems too vague to me. 18:29:24 KF: Need to think of better wording. 18:31:20 KF: 1.3.3 Size, Shape, Location: Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely on shape, size, visual location, or orientation of 18:31:20 components. (Level A) 18:31:33 KF: Resize text: Visually rendered text can be resized without assistive technology 18:32:05 JR: Most user agents can do this if you let them. 18:32:20 KF: What is really be asked of from authors is not clear 18:32:52 KF: 2.2.5 Interruptions: Interruptions, such as updated content, can be postponed or suppressed by the user, except interruptions involving an 18:32:52 emergency. (Level AAA) 18:33:04 KF: Should be at least AA. 18:34:04 KF: This is fairly widely implemented 18:34:43 KF: Often authors are allowing this e.g. sports tickers 18:34:56 KF: Often there are diff options for updating 18:35:27 CL Agree it should be higher 18:35:46 KF: Reading through all these guidelines I’m struck with the general impression that assistive technology is given a higher priority than user agents. This is perhaps somewhat subtle but I guess my point, similar to what I now see Jim said, is that by and large the AT gets the majority of what it presents from the user agent and I’m not sure the guidelines represent this as well as they could. 18:36:01 KF: Once again seems like ATs put ahead of UAs 18:36:18 CL: I was saying that too 18:37:30 Topic: Peter's comments on PERCEIVABLE 18:38:10 PP: Lotsof comments have to do with artificial split between perceivable vs understandable 18:39:04 PP: Examples blurred right away in 1.1 18:40:46 JR: Does mix up the rationales 18:41:07 JR: Into the guideline text 18:41:31 PP: Examples prob better images, etc 18:42:43 CL: Takes away from purity of guideline - should be moved to "Understandin" doc 18:42:53 JR: Agree 18:43:30 PP: 1.1.1 18:44:05 PP: CAPTCHA: If the purpose of non-text content is to confirm that content is 18:44:05 being 18:44:05 accessed by a person rather than a computer, then text alternatives that 18:44:05 identify and describe the purpose of the non-text content are provided and 18:44:05 alternative forms in different modalities are provided to accommodate 18:44:06 different 18:44:08 disabilities." 18:44:29 JR: Agree 18:46:36 JR: Digression on CAPTCHA 18:47:05 PP: = 1.1 Key Terms 18:48:45 PP: = 1.3.2 18:49:09 PP: Another perceivable vs. understandable problem... 18:49:17 PP: Talking aobut meaning 18:49:31 JR: OK 18:49:47 PP: = 1.3.3 18:49:55 PP: Same problem again. 18:52:20 CL: In general there is some funny wording - some start with noun, some with verb 18:53:19 KF: SHould be these things "alone" 18:53:55 JR: We should keep this in here to call attention to this. 18:55:00 Topic: Jim's comments whole doc 18:57:06 1.2.1 Captions (prerecorded) 18:57:31 JR: Wonders if this would actually be covered by taking oguidelines as a whole 18:58:26 3.1.6 A mechanism is available for identifying specific pronunciation of 18:58:26 words where meaning is ambiguous without knowing the pronunciation. 18:58:41 CL: Not sure of AT support for RUBY 18:59:34 Jim: One of the techniques is "adding error text via the DOM" - will the UA 18:59:34 render the information on the screen, and will AT - specifically screen 18:59:34 readers - reveal the inserted DOM text to the user? 19:00:15 (for 3.3.2) 19:01:12 CL: Not sure there is a programmatic way to do this. 19:01:48 PP: No relation for "error" 19:02:15 CL: AT doesn't know where to look. 19:03:09 Topic: Summer Availability. 19:03:24 CL: Not here JUly 5th, Aug 2nd 19:03:40 PP: Might not be around in 2nd week of July 19:03:50 KF: Not here July 5th 19:04:35 -KFord 19:04:36 -cklaws 19:04:37 -[IBM] 19:04:39 -JR 19:04:40 WAI_UAWG()2:00PM has ended 19:04:42 Attendees were KFord, JR, cklaws, [IBM] 19:05:09 RRSAgent, make minutes 19:05:09 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2007/06/14-ua-minutes.html JR 19:05:17 RRSAgent, set logs public 19:06:28 Zakim, bye 19:06:28 Zakim has left #ua 19:06:34 RRSAgent, bye 19:06:34 I see no action items
