15:40:35 <Leonie_Watson> JB: How is the draft on poster alt?
15:41:07 <Leonie_Watson> JF: I've started some work on beefing up the change proposal, but I don't have anything to share today.
15:41:14 <Zakim> +Rich
15:41:25 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Would something be possible later today?
15:41:38 <Leonie_Watson> JF: I'm slammed busy at the moment, sorry.
15:42:05 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Rich did you get a chance to talk about your action at all?
15:42:20 <Leonie_Watson> RS: We had a busy week with the ARIA implementation guide, so didn't get a chance to talk.
15:42:29 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Could you do something today/tomorrow?
15:42:42 <Leonie_Watson> RS: Not today, but I'll try to get hold of Cynthia tomorrow.
15:43:07 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Gregory and I met on the table summary, so I know there's been some work done there.
15:44:43 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Did you and Leif get to talk about metaname generator?
15:45:00 <Leonie_Watson> JF: Not much progress, but I'm working on transferring it into a wiki page.
15:45:31 <Leonie_Watson> JF: I'm prioritising it over poster alt.
15:45:35 <JF> JF: Hope to connect with Leif about taking his text, transferring it to a wiki page, and then drastically editing the CP text
15:48:07 <judy> summary on actions: 
15:48:07 <judy> - judy posted a draft mail on figcaption for discussion

15:49:51 <Leonie_Watson> JB: We had difficulty finding a mail on the list from Sam, relating to presenting new information.
15:50:40 <Leonie_Watson> JB: The chairs have indicated they'll be sending out the entire draft for pre-last call review next Saturday.
15:51:07 <Leonie_Watson> JB: I'd like for us to have consensus as a group, rather than as individuals, by the end of the week.

15:52:09 <Leonie_Watson> JF: In terms of seeking broader consensus within the TF, how much time needs to be allowed for that?
15:52:22 <judy> s/as a group/as a group, to the extent that we can/
15:54:05 <Leonie_Watson> JB: There are multiple levels of consensus. I think it's better for a sub team to offer consensus, rather than individuals, and if we try to aim for TF wide consensus it will be a challenge.
15:54:39 <Leonie_Watson> JS: Although the TF looks at sub group recommendations, it's rare for changes to be made. It's been working just fine for media and canvas.
15:54:46 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Does anyone have concerns about this?

15:55:36 <Leonie_Watson> JF: Concern for me is perhaps too strong a word. I think we've ben very transparent about the work we've been doing, and we need to be sure someone doesn't come along afterwards and find our actions less than transparent.
15:56:20 <Leonie_Watson> JB: We could use this week's TF call to give an overview of our change proposals, although this depends on whether they're stable...

15:58:33 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Thank you Steve for your work on this.
16:00:34 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Reactions?
16:00:44 <Leonie_Watson> SF: I'll run through the major points...
16:02:36 <Leonie_Watson> SF: In the original change proposal I mentioned that title had not been available to keyboard only users in browsers. I queried the future of this with browser vendors, and the results are included in the new change proposal.
16:04:00 <Leonie_Watson> SF: Title is problematic on mobile. Taking the Apple website as an example, title is used infrequently. I couldn't find any mobile browser that supports title.
16:05:05 <Leonie_Watson> SF: When an AT finds an image with a title and no alt, the title value is used as the alt would and the user is none the wiser.
16:05:48 <Leonie_Watson> SF: Figcaption isn't treated in the same way by ATs. They are distinct from each other from the user's oint of view.
16:07:12 <Leonie_Watson> SF: Title isn't displayed when images are not rendered. Opera have indicated they wouldn't be keen on changing this. I haven't heard from IE/FF yet. Safari is the exception.
16:08:41 <Leonie_Watson> SF: The HTML5 spec forbids title from being used as a tooltip.

16:09:06 <janina> q+
16:09:19 <Leonie_Watson> JF: Is it worth looking at the redundancy factor?
16:09:57 <Leonie_Watson> SF: I thought about that, but didn't really know where to fit it in.
16:11:02 <Leonie_Watson> JS: I'm wondering if we need the reference to figcaption? Only because it might serve to confuse some people, given that we also have a figcatption discussion going on spearately?
16:11:47 <Leonie_Watson> SF: What it does is address one of the points in the decision, which is why don't we have both? If we have one, I don't think we should have title because it has ambiguous semantics.
16:12:27 <Leonie_Watson> RS: Title is used for tooltips, were they saying you wouldn't need titles on each of four images in a figure?
16:12:57 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Maybe that could be taken out and dealt with separately?
16:13:08 <Leonie_Watson> JS: I think the cleaner we can make our arguments the better.
16:13:56 <Leonie_Watson> SF: Have you been through and addressed each of the points in the decision do you think?
16:14:34 <Leonie_Watson> s/SF: Have/JB: Have/
16:15:15 <Leonie_Watson> JB: My impression is that you looked through pretty carefully.
16:15:34 <Leonie_Watson> SF: I have read through the decision a number of times, and have tried to address the particular points.
16:15:57 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Apart from the figcaption reference, are there any other objections to this?
16:16:02 <Zakim> -JF
16:16:13 <Leonie_Watson> SF: I've taken out the figcaption stuff.
16:16:23 <Zakim> +JF

16:24:38 <Leonie_Watson> LS: I agree with the principle, but don't think its nescessary to emphasise all the details.
16:26:21 <Leonie_Watson> SF: There's no question about whether it's used by ATs as a fallback, but only that there is no differentiation when they do from the user's perspective.
16:26:59 <Leonie_Watson> JB: I'm hearing that you agree with Steve's proposal, but don't think we need as much detail?
16:27:45 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Do you object to Steve's proposal Leif?
16:28:09 <Leonie_Watson> LS: I wonder if it goes too far in describing the problems with title. 
16:28:49 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Ok, there seems to be general support for this. Steve, unless you want to discuss further with Lief, do you want to go ahead with this?
16:29:51 <JF> +1 to steve
16:30:07 <Leonie_Watson> SF: If Lief wants to make some additional points that's fine, but I don't have too much time to change things at this stage. I hear Lief's point about too much detail, but I'm not going to take things out now unless there's consensus from the group.
16:30:30 <Leonie_Watson> JB: Is tht ok with you Lief?

16:46:06 <JF> LC: can change it to match whatever
