19:06:42 <sharper> David Poehlman Comment: The proposal says interface but then goes on to say interface and rendered content. are we talking both? should they be split?
19:07:17 <JR> q+
19:07:47 <AllanJ> Alan proposal: 2.1.2 For each user interface component, including the user interface itself and rendered content, make available its name, role, state, value, and description via an accessibility platform architecture.
19:08:04 <sharper> JR: Looks good 
19:08:44 <AllanJ> +1
19:09:03 <sharper> Alan C: Should say 'and every' as opposed to each?

19:13:52 <AllanJ> discussion on wording of PRINCIPLE 2. Facilitate access by assistive technologies
19:14:18 <AllanJ> sharper: assistive technologies seems too limiting
19:14:53 <jeanne> My concern with removing "assistive technologies" would be introducing new jargon that would not be easily understandable. 
19:15:35 <AllanJ> JR: perhaps a rationale is needed. Change to  "facilitate programmatic access"
19:16:59 <judy> judy has joined #ua
19:17:08 <AllanJ> JS: need to make intention clear, want to keep 'assistive technologies'
19:17:11 <judy> zakim, dial judy-office
19:17:11 <Zakim> ok, judy; the call is being made
19:17:13 <Zakim> +Judy
19:17:53 <AllanJ> SH: concern for future of UAs, mobile, etc. programmers know programmatic access
19:18:19 <AllanJ> ...keep assistive technologies for pragmatic reasons
19:20:19 <judy> judy has changed the topic to: Today's agenda: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2008OctDec/0043.html
19:21:58 <AllanJ> SH: UAAG20 around for long time. should be more general more agnostic
19:22:57 <AllanJ> ... all of principle 2 says programmatic access
19:23:13 <JR> JR: 	Jan's point included making sure assistive tech is highlighted in the coming rationale
19:23:34 <AllanJ> ... rationale is assistive technology 
19:24:47 <sharper> AllanJ: Proposes change to programmatic access, but including AT in rationale
19:24:56 <sharper> +1
19:25:16 <sharper> SH: +1
19:26:42 <AllanJ> +1 makes it more general. 
19:27:40 <sharper> ACTION: jeanne place 'facilitate programmatic access' into survey.

19:30:51 <sharper> AllanJ: discussion of 2.1.3
19:31:58 <sharper> JS: Address David's issue by adding a use case example
19:32:26 <sharper> Davids Comment: this is unclear, what inaccessible functionality is left?
19:34:02 <sharper> JS: do we have a use case for this.
19:37:56 <AllanJ> discussion of interrelationship between 2.1.2 and 2.1.3
19:41:32 <AllanJ> SH: why does UA have to compensate for accessibility platform architecture
19:42:42 <AllanJ> JR: UA can do lots of new cool things, but you have to map it some how to the accessibility platform architecture (apa)
19:42:58 <JR> Action JR: Write a proposal to clarify and perhaps integrate 2.1.2 and 2.1.3
19:42:58 <trackbot> Created ACTION-73 - Write a proposal to clarify and perhaps integrate 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 [on Jan Richards - due 2008-11-13].
19:44:12 <sharper> AllanJ: 2.1.4 - everyone agrees with: 2.1.4 If the user agent implements one or more DOMs, make the DOMs programmatically available to assistive technologies.
19:44:38 <sharper> AllanJ - AC: says "Do we need to specify which assistive technologies? Or to what degree?"
19:44:58 <sharper> ... something like ' "... make the DOM or DOMs programmatically available to assistive technologies to the greatest extent possible??'
19:45:41 <sharper> JR: we need to make it just programmatically available?
19:45:56 <JR> Q+
19:46:13 <sharper> AC: AT can do different things - do we expect developers to understand AT?
19:46:50 <sharper> AllanJ: Do we need to change AT to accessibility platform architectures
19:47:17 <jeanne> q+ to suggest that if a functionality works in only one modality (e.g. vision or mouse) then...
19:47:28 <JR> q-
19:47:40 <jeanne> ack jeanne
19:47:40 <Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to suggest that if a functionality works in only one modality (e.g. vision or mouse) then...
19:47:42 <sharper> JR: programmatic access aims reduce the amount developers will need to know about AT
19:48:51 <sharper> JS: More about functionality that is available in one modality, and the need for multiple modalities.
19:49:28 <sharper> AllanJ: Everything needs to be in the DOM - this will handle different modailities
19:49:52 <sharper> \me LET ME KNOW IF I'M GETTING THE NAMES WRONG PLEASE.
19:51:58 <sharper> General Discussion regarding the interplay between API pipe, DOM, AT and accessibility platform
19:52:21 <jeanne> do we need 2.1.3 at all then?
19:52:35 <sharper> AllanJ: In Conclusion DOM must be available to AT
19:52:48 <jeanne> s/2.1.3/2.1.4
19:53:01 <sharper> AllanJ: Proposes 2.1.4 is complete
19:53:04 <sharper> All Agree
19:53:28 <jeanne> action: JS to add 2.1.4 to the new draft.  
19:53:28 <trackbot> Created ACTION-74 - Add 2.1.4 to the new draft.   [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2008-11-13].

20:01:28 <sharper> from stored data
20:01:29 <sharper> >From my mail 10. Principle 3, in particular 3.1 needs to be more clear. I�ve mentioned on a few calls how the user interface does a lot visually to convey meaning. I don�t think these guidelines give enough detail on what needs to happen or the expectation around accessibility. User agents today do a lot to convey state from security to page functionality with unique UI elements. AT jumps around loads of hoops today to convey this info.

20:03:47 <sharper> Previous Discussion:
20:03:48 <sharper> RINCIPLE 3: Ensure that the user interface is perceivable
20:03:48 <sharper> JAllan: Anyone have any general problems with the wording?
20:03:49 <sharper> none heard.
20:03:49 <sharper> Now looking at Guideline 3.1 Provide text alternatives for non-text components
20:03:50 <sharper> group is ok with general wording.
20:03:50 <sharper> JR: I wanted to comment on something we found in ATAG. The item one that says you need to cover the accessibility of your platform is likely to cover this.
20:03:52 <sharper> Jeanne: I wanted to ensure we covered the accessibility of documentation.
20:03:54 <sharper> >From my mail 10. Principle 3, in particular 3.1 needs to be more clear. I�ve mentioned on a few calls how the user interface does a lot visually to convey meaning.

User agents today do a lot to convey state from security to page functionality with unique UI elements. AT jumps around loads of hoops today to convey this info.
20:03:59 <sharper> <jallan> KF: should keep, need to be a bit explicit, to make sure the point gets across
20:04:01 <sharper> More discussion about whether 3.1 is covered in guideline 1.
20:04:03 <sharper> <jallan> KF: user interface everything is labeled and available programatically
20:04:05 <sharper> <jallan> ... the UA could do more to make the information available.
20:04:07 <sharper> <jallan> JA: 3.1.1 does not say make information available programatically
20:04:09 <sharper> <jallan> JR: should be in Principal 2
20:04:11 <sharper> <jallan> JA: information is available passively, the user must request the security state, rss feed, etc.
20:04:13 <sharper> kford more discussion about this.
20:04:15 <sharper> <jallan> ... do we need some SC to allow option to provide overview of current states in the UA
20:04:17 <sharper> JR: I think principle two would cover most of this.
20:04:19 <sharper> <jallan> JS: this is needed for low vision people.
20:04:22 <sharper> kford: kford and Jeanne think principle three needs to be strengthened.
20:04:24 <sharper> <jallan> ... ARIA has section on passive alerts, perhaps we need something like that
20:04:25 <sharper> JAllan: we've talked a lot about screen readers. Visually you glance around.
20:04:27 <sharper> ... if this is all available programatically, isn't it then the AT's job to grab this info.
20:04:29 <sharper> <jallan> KF: what is the state, what is important, the UA has gone through the effort to provide an icon. How is the user to decide what is important
20:04:32 <sharper> <jallan> ... I am missing the gestalt of the information
20:04:35 <sharper> <scribe> ACTION: kford jeanne to add guideline in 3.1 around improving perceivability [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2008/10/21-ua-minutes.html#action01]

20:04:42 <sharper> <trackbot> Created ACTION-48 - KF and JS to write proposal for Guideline 3.1 improving perceivability of user interface and passive status. [on Kelly Ford - due 2008-10-28].
20:04:45 <sharper> <jallan> JR: add to examples, kinds of important state information
20:04:47 <sharper> JR: I think we need to add to examples, some of what kford was saying about important state in modern browsers.
20:04:49 <sharper> JAllan: 3.1.1 needs to reveal info programatically and there needs to be some mechanism to provide a overview of important state items.
20:04:53 <sharper> Guideline 3.2 Provide access to alternative content
20:04:54 <sharper> JR: I have a long standing general concern about mixing content and user interface.
20:04:56 <sharper> JAllan restates JR's concern.
20:04:58 <sharper> JS: This goes back to what I was saying in the beginning about the overall principle. This talks about content and user interface.
20:05:02 <sharper> JR: You either split into two principles or expand scope of the current principle.
20:05:04 <sharper> JAllan: I prefer to keep one principle if possible.
20:05:05 <sharper> Jeanne: We need to ensure any author controls like ARIA are perceivable.
20:05:07 <sharper> <jallan> JA: the user agent provides a user interface to allow access to the author provided alternative content
20:05:10 <sharper> kford: I think we need to expand the scope of principle 3.
20:05:11 <sharper> ... Today the web author can easily extend what's traditionally thought of of the user agent
20:05:13 <sharper> <jeanne> http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/CR-WCAG20-20080430/#perceivable
20:05:15 <sharper> <jeanne> I think we should use the WCAG wording:
20:05:18 <sharper> <Jan> PRINCIPLE 3: Perceivable - The user agent's user interface and rendered content must be presented to users in ways they can perceive
20:05:21 <sharper> <jeanne> issue: relook at the phrasing of Principle 3 to ensure clarity.

20:07:16 <sharper> AllanJ: Leave Issue 16 and move to success criteria starting at 3.1.1
20:08:40 <sharper> JR: scrap 3.1.1 and concentrate on criteria primarily related to user agents not other kinds of software
