But I could accept it anyway. 18:11:39 I'm scared of setting the precedence of including "modality independence" or "with the keyboard" in every SC we touch. 18:12:37 greg's device independence SC http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2011OctDec/0077.html 18:12:48 this has been added into the document. 18:14:02 someone needs to go through the document to find keyboard and replace with device independence 18:14:17 kf: do we need every one of these 18:14:45 ... you can have onMouseup, onmousedown, onkeypress, etc. 18:15:17 kf: what do we really mean here? 18:17:10 The list of intrinsic event handlers defined by HTML 4 is at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.3; of course, other formats would have other lists of events. 18:17:24 gl: 19 events listed in HTML 4 18:19:13 action: jeanne to write in status for next public draft to ask 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 are these clear enough for UA developers or do we need to provide more guideance. 18:19:14 Created ACTION-677 - Write in status for next public draft to ask 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 are these clear enough for UA developers or do we need to provide more guideance. [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2011-12-15]. 18:19:14 So I'd prefer "The user can call up a list of input device event handlers explicitly associated with the keyboard focus element. (Level A)" and leave the keyboard requirement to 2.1.1, but I won't insist on it. 18:19:19 More concise phrase for intent: make sure that control is available to any type of input method 18:20:28 gl: 262 and 262 don't make sense separated. perhaps combine. 18:20:37 scribe: jallan 18:20:45 I agree that 2.6.1 is useless without 2.6.2, and 2.6.2 would be less usable without 2.6.1, so they would be better combined. 18:20:50 kp: would be clearer combined 18:21:45 kp: should combine intents 18:21:59 261 Users interacting with a web browser may be doing so by voice, keyboard, mouse or another input technology or a combination of any of these.

Some users interacting with a web browser may be doing so by voice, keyboard, mouse or another input technology or a combination of any of these. No matter how the user is controlling the user... 18:22:11 ...agent, he or she must be able to activate any of the event handlers regardless of the interaction technology being used. 18:23:15 263 One input method should not hold back another.

Re (a), didn't I see proposed or related wording earlier that talked about a minimum number of settings available between and including the minimum and maximum values? The wording here would allow passing with two values, 100% and 110%, as they are both between 50% and 250%. Yet we do not want to require infinitely fine gradation either. 19:20:34 2.11.5 Playback Rate Adjustment for Prerecorded Content: 19:20:36 The user can adjust the playback rate of prerecorded time-based media content, such that all of the following are true: (Level A) 19:20:37 The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media tracks to between 50% and 250% of real time. 19:20:39 Speech whose playback rate has been adjusted by the user maintains pitch in order to limit degradation of the speech quality. 19:20:40 Audio and video tracks remain synchronized across this required range of playback rates. 19:20:42 The user agent provides a function that resets the playback rate to normal (100%). 19:20:59 kp: is 50% and 250% implied. 19:21:09 gl: needs to be more accurate 19:21:10 More accurate would be something like "to values including 50% and 250%" 19:22:06 proposal: The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media tracks to values including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:23:04 proposal: The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media tracks to values into a minimum of 5 steps including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:23:36 "a minimum of" could be "at least" 19:23:40 The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media tracks so there are at least five steps including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:24:29 The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media tracks so there are at least five speeds including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:25:05 Could take out "tracks" since elsewhere we say they have to stay synchronized. 19:25:09 The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media so there are at least five speeds including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:25:21 Saying "tracks" implies individual per-track speed settings. 19:26:44 The user can adjust the playback rate of the time-based media to at least five speeds including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:26:53 ("so that there" was misleading.) 19:27:14 That looks good! 19:27:28 +1 19:28:38 I can live with it, but it seems bad grammar to have the intro sentence and bullet items read "The user can adjust...such that the user can adjust..." 19:30:12 3. We may not want to get that detailed, but currently a product could pass if the user could only change the playback options for the entire duration of the recording. For example, if you could choose options for playing at speeds from 50% to 250%, but changing the speed would always restart the media at the beginning, a lot of both the mainstream and accessibility benefits would be lost. 19:30:43 That is, would it be worth saying that they can make these changes without restarting the media? 19:31:39 restarting every speed change would be tedious, and time consuming to fix 19:31:56 First bullet point: It can be played back at at least five speeds including 50% and 250% of real time. 19:31:57 Third bullet point: Playback rate can be reset to normal. 19:32:01 wd: math lecture...with complicated formula 19:32:55 need to add bullet for change rate without restarting media 19:33:21 the user can change rate without restarting media 19:33:47 rrsagent, make minutes 19:33:47 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/12/08-ua-minutes.html JAllan 19:34:12 -Wayne 19:34:15 -Kim_Patch 19:34:16 -Greg_Lowney 19:34:19 -kford 19:35:47 agenda+ reminder to start with adding bullet "the user can change rate without restarting media' to 2.11.5 19:35:57 zakim, agenda? 19:35:58 I see 4 items remaining on the agenda: 19:36:02 2.
