2.7.1 (former 4.7.7) Discover navigation and activation keystrokes from Simon Harper - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2011AprJun/0033.html

<JAllan> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Keyboard,_Focus,_and_Navigation_Restructuring

GL: I am going to give an overview of the issue that Simon is talking about.

<Greg> 2.7.1 has some overlaps with 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 but there are also key differences:

<Greg> a) 2.7.1 described by Simon as mouseless browsing, but it's not...

<Greg> b) 2.7.1 talks about programmatic access

<Greg> c) 2.7.1 gives both UI and content Level A (vs. different on 2.1.6/7)

<Greg> 2.7.1 (former 4.7.7) Discover navigation and activation keystrokes: Direct navigation and activation keystrokes are discoverable both programmatically and via perceivable labels. (Level A)

<Greg> 2.1.6 (former 4.1.6) Present Direct Commands in Rendered Content: The user can have any recognized direct commands (e.g. accesskey) in rendered content be presented with their associated elements (e.g. "[Ctrl+t]" displayed after a link whose accesskey value is "t", or an audio browser reading the value or label of a form control followed by "accesskey control plus t"). (Level A)

<Greg> 2.1.7 (former 4.1.7) Present Direct Commands in User Interface: The user has the option to have any direct commands (e.g. keyboard shortcuts) in the user agent user interface be presented with their associated user interface controls (e.g. "Ctrl+S" displayed on the "Save" menu item and toolbar button). (Level AA)

<Greg> In Kim's and my proposal we moved everything relating to direct navigation and activation into a new guideline, which we numbered 2.3:

<Greg> Guideline 2.3: Provide direct navigation and activation [includes former 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.1.11]

<Greg> * 2.3.1 Direct Navigation to Important Elements [former 2.7.4, before that 4.7.2, name change] (Level A)

<Greg> * 2.3.2 Direct Activation [former 2.7.6, before that 4.7.5] (Level AA)

<Greg> * 2.3.3 Present Direct Commands in Rendered Content [former 2.1.6, before that 4.1.6, also 2.7.1] (Level A)

<Greg> * 2.3.4 Present Direct Commands in User Interface [former 2.1.7, before that 4.1.7, also 2.7.1] (Level AA)

<Greg> * 2.3.3 User Override of Accesskeys [former 2.1.11, before that 4.1.11]

<JAllan> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Keyboard,_Focus,_and_Navigation_Restructuring

Group talking about sorting out various proposals on these topics.

<JAllan> simons original proposal in the wiki - http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Guideline_2.7#Proposed_2.7.1_Discover_navigation_and_activation_keystrokes:

JA: I'm hearing that you want 2.7.1 to go away bgecause it is in 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.
... Do the new 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 cover the mouseless browsing example.

GL: It would be these in conjunction with 2.3.1.

KP: We did change the title but at the time we were doing this, we did think this would cover this.
... That is mouseless browsing would be covered by 2.3.1.

JA: Are there objections to removing 2.7.1 and just living with 2.3.1, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4.

<JAllan> +1

<sharper> +1

Group consensus seems to be that eliminating 2.7.1 is the way to go.

JS: When moving things around in the wiki, please us numbers like A, B and such rather than numbers so I know things are being inserted.

Resolved: 2.7.1 to be dropped in favor of 2.3.1, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4

<scribe> ACTION: JS to update document appropriately to eliminate 2.7.1. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/05/19-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-557 - Update document appropriately to eliminate 2.7.1. [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2011-05-26].

review 1.2.3 Repair Missing Associations: from Simon Harper - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2011AprJun/0032.html

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Guideline_1.2

<sharper> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Guideline_2.7#Proposed_2.7.2_Access_Relationships

<sharper> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/work/wiki/Guideline_1.11

2.7.2 (former 4.7.3) Access Relationships: The user can access explicitly-defined relationships based on the user's position in content (e.g., show form control's label, show label's form control, show a cell's table headers). (Level A)

1.2.3 Repair Missing Associations: The user can specify whether or not the user agent should attempt to predict associations from author-specified presentation attributes (i.e. position and appearance). (Level AAA)

sh: I did IER for 1.2.3. reviewed UAAG2 and found 2.7.2.
... proposing remove 2.7.2 and replace with 1.2.3

http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2011/ED-IMPLEMENTING-UAAG20-20110428/

KP: these seem different.

sh: prefers 'associations' to 'relationships'

gl: +1

kp: need to be explicit.
