New bugs review

HH: Identified 4 bugs to be tagged a11y.

<hhillen> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15939

HH: 15939
... It's about untitled sections in outlines.

MC: WCAG requires headings for every section at Level AA.

LW: Think there may be cases where a heading wasn't needed.
... Suggest we leave a11y keyword, but no need for tf keyword.

<hhillen> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16005

HH: 16005
... Request for subtitles on audio.

LW: Seems as though this relates to hearing impaired people who would be able to link up captions with the audio they could hear.

MC: Wondering how essential it is?
... WCAG doesn't require synchronised captions for audio.
... Suggest we kick this over to the HTML techniques TF?

LW: Makes sense.

HH: Would be good to have the ability in the spec, but not sure the TF needs to follow up.

<hhillen> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16018

HH: 16018
... Exclude disabled form fields from specially focusable elements.

MC: Maybe the TF should discuss this, so they can look at the different use cases?

<hhillen> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16029

LW: Let's ask the TF on Thursday.

HH: 16929
... Provide an example of required for radio button.

MC: The required attribute would need adding to fieldset.
... Think this is one for the TF.

HH: Agreed.

MC: We'd need the spec to be changed and an example provided though, not just the example requested in this bug.

LW: Agreed, let's tag it.

MC: We may need to file a new bug.

<MichaelC> for required on fieldset

<MichaelC> radio buttons means one value must be selected

<MichaelC> checkboxes means one or more values must be selected

<MichaelC> any other form controls means all of the controls are required

LW: New bug filed https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/post_bug.cgi

MC: Added a11ytf keyword to the new bug, and blocked the earlier bug.
... Added note to earlier bug, referencing the new bug.

HH: There were three other requests I didn't think needed triaging...
... One realted to auto focus, one relating to allowed characters in a pattern, and the last was about classifying the area element interactive content.

LW: Doesn't sound as though they need accessibility consideration.
... Will be unavailable due to jury service for the next couple of calls.

MC: The PF meeting is on the 6th.

LW: Suggest we skip a call during that week, and meet again on the 20th?

MC: I can chair the one on the 20th.
