<davidb> hi all are we live?

<Stevef> yes

<Stevef> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/85

<Stevef> ARIA roles added to the a element should be conforming in HTML5

<scribe> scribe: janina

cs: there's a bug on this, yes?

sf: yes, and a change proposal.

<cyns> cp url?

<Stevef> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/ARIAonanchor

sf: i agree with it, of course

rich: +1

cs: still reading

sf: only difference with this and full proposal, this has text box

<Stevef> draft aria mapping http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/misc/HTML5/aria-html5.html

<davidb> db: +1

cs: we want to be precise. we're not saying any and every element can be overwritten.
... what do we call it--we don't want to spend a lot of time explaining needlessly

sf: it's been out there already
... i thought rich had given us an explanation that avoided complexity

rs: you mean interactive content?

sf: rs: big concern is when you want to extend interactive controls

rs: and, we want to encourage html5 controls
... except for button and lin, say 'don't overwrite'
... not for roles
... other problem is headings aren't enforcing structure
... but things like footer have begin and end tags

cs: thought we were talking about anchor?
... i'm suggesting we explicitly say why we can overwrite on these roles, but not others

rs: don't want to say a specific list
... people should be able to overwrite widget

cs: i'm ok if we want to edit the change proposal that widgets can be overwritten
... else we should explain what we have
... i think our set is those things that are invokable

rs: status bar could be overwriteable?

db: what about an umbrella term like 'invocable'

rs: yes
... or what can be put in tab order
... grid cell is another

sf: seems odd

cs: that you could turn a link into a table cell
... think the right rule for <a (and similar) "invocable roles"
... are the roles categorized that way?
... would like us to make our recommendation based on a taxonomy subtree

<MichaelC> Taxonomy diagram

sf: isn't that 'anything that's child of input?'

cs: abstract roles?

sf: yes
... that's our block

rs: suggest 'single invocation input controls'

cs: not sure select makes sense, maybe select item

sf: we could delineate if a widget can contain other widgets
... so we essentially agree on proposal, minus text box

cs: yes, we only need to figure out how to categorize, so we can clearly explain

rs: would we eliminate combo box

sf: yes

cs: if we can categorize based on taxonomy branches, then check what's covered

rs: rdfa really codifies your design

cs: and, anything in the list can overwrite each other?
... there's a spec section that talkbs about what can be a command ...
... we need to look at menus and commands, sec 4.11

<richardschwerdtfe> having problems hearing cynthia

cs: things to resolve:
... forms and links; sounds like we agree
... menu command -- i will do
... document -- i think we have some disagreement

sf: yes -- good summary

cs: menu command probably about 3-4 weeks work
... probably 1 week work, but need to leeway to get it done as promissed
... we should look at some of the new ones, like calendar from apple that maps into their os

rs: but not for aria 1.0

sf: we need to keep perspective

cs: why not do these?

sf: adding aria roles too far into our tr process
