Prominence

<JR> prominence

<JR> A heuristic measure of how likely users are to notice items (E.G. single

<JR> controls, groups of controls, text messages) in a user interface that

<JR> they are operating. Prominence is affected by numerous factors,

<JR> including: the number of navigation steps required, the reading order

<JR> position, visual properties (e.g., size, spacing, color), and even the

<JR> modality of use (e.g., mouse vs. keyboard use). For purposes of

<JR> conformance to ATAG 2.0, item A is considered to be *at least as

<JR> prominent* as item B if:

<JR> * (a) both items occur in the same item container (e.g., menu for menu

<JR> items, list for list items, dialog box for text boxes)

<JR> * (b) item A is highlighted if item B is highlighted.

<JR> * (c) item A occurs higher in the reading order or immediately follows

<JR> item B.

<JR> * (b) if item B is emphasized then item A is also emphasized

<JR> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2009JanMar/0064.html

<JR> TB, GP: Prefer item A, item B

<JR> (2a) Rewording B.1.1.2, B.1.1.4, B.1.1.6 for clarity:

<JR> UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER PROPOSAL

<JR> B.1.1.2 Author Choice of Technologies (Level A): If the authoring tool

<JR> provides authors with Web content technology options, THEN ANY

<JR> *ACCESSIBLE technology* (WCAG Level A) options THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR THE

<JR> TASK ARE *AT LEAST AS PROMINENT* AS ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY OPTIONS. (Level A)

<JR> ACTION: JR to Update "Technology" with "*accessible technology*" phrase [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/03/30-au-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-130 - Update \"Technology\" with \"*accessible technology*\" phrase [on Jan Richards - due 2009-04-06].

<jeanne> ACTION: js to update glossary with finalized definition of Prominence from the updated glossary document [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/03/30-au-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-131 - Update glossary with finalized definition of Prominence from the updated glossary document [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2009-04-06].

<JR> (3) Rewording B.2.1.1, B.2.1.2, B.2.1.3:

<JR> REWORDED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WIZARD-STYLE PROMPTING ETC. - REMOVED

<JR> "PROMINENCE" CLAUSE

<JR> B.2.1.1 Guide Accessible (Level A): If THE AUTHORING TOOL AUTOMATICALLY

<JR> PROMPTS AUTHORS FOR any information as content is being added or updated

<JR> (e.g., by an image modification dialog), then AUTOMATIC PROMPTS ARE ALSO

<JR> INCLUDED for any accessibility information required for that content to

<JR> meet WCAG Level A (Level A).

<JR> ---

<scribe> ACTION: jeanne to incorporate proposal into document [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/03/30-au-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-132 - Incorporate proposal into document [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2009-04-06].

<JR> No objections

<JR> (4) Rewording B.2.5.3:

<JR> UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER PROPOSAL

<JR> B.2.5.3 Template Selection Mechanism: If authors are provided with a

<jeanne> ACTION: JS to update B.2.1.1 - 3 as from the minutes of 20090330 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2009/03/30-au-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-133 - Update B.2.1.1 - 3 as from the minutes of 20090330 [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2009-04-06].

<JR> template selection mechanism, then (Level A):

<JR> (a) the selection mechanism indicates the accessibility status of

<JR> templates (if known), AND

<JR> (b) any accessible template options ARE *AT LEAST AS PROMINENT* AS other

<JR> TEMPLATE options.

<JR> (5) Rewording B.2.5.7:

<JR> UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER PROPOSAL

<JR> B.2.5.7 Pre-Authored Content Selection Mechanism: If authors are

<JR> provided with a selection mechanism for pre-authored content other than

no objections to proposal for B.2.5.3

<JR> templates (e.g., clip art gallery, widget repository, design themes),

<JR> then (Level AA):

<JR> (a) the selection mechanism indicates the accessibility status of the

<JR> pre-authored content (if known), AND

<JR> (b) any accessible options ARE *AT LEAST AS PROMINENT* AS other

<JR> PRE-AUTHORED CONTENT options.

no objections to proposal for B.2.5.7

<JR> (6) Rewording the rationale of B.3.1:

<JR> "IS" added

<JR> Guideline B.3.1 Rationale: When authors are learning a new authoring

<JR> tool, they may find and learn to use the first authoring action they

<JR> encounter that achieves their intended outcome. Since they may be

<JR> unaware of the issue of accessibility, it IS preferable that accessible

<JR> content be an additional unintended outcome, rather than inaccessible

<JR> content.

<JR> (7) Rewording B.3.1.1:

no objections to proposal for B.3.1

<JR> UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER PROPOSAL

<JR> B.3.1.1 Accessible Options Prominent: If authors are provided with

<JR> multiple options for an authoring task, options that will result in

<JR> content conforming to *WCAG* Level A ARE *AT LEAST AS PROMINENT* AS

<JR> OPTIONS THAT WILL NOT. (Level A)

<JR> darn

<JR> calling bacxk in'

<JR> ---

no objections to proposal for B.3.1.1

<JR> (8) Minor edit to B.3.3.4:

<JR> UNCHANGED FROM EARLIER PROPOSAL

<JR> B.3.3.4 At Least as Prominent: Accessible content support features are

<JR> *at least as prominent* [DEL] as comparable features related to other

<JR> types of Web content problems (e.g., invalid markup, syntax errors,

<JR> spelling and grammar errors). (Level AA)

no objections to proposal for B.3.3.4

<JR> no objections to new prominence defn with "emphasized" rewording
