discuss the conclusions of the WCAG working group to the 2 questions we asked in this week's survey

<scribe> scribe: marcjohlic

Question from WAI-ARIA Task Force: Examples in WAI-ARIA techniques

JN: Create a new Note in the ARIA Technology section - basically quoting ARIA spec and when we have a technique that would apply we would link to that Note

JOC: ARIA was originally a bridging technology, but as things are changingit is now a first class citizen of the markup toolkit

MC: Probably safe to say that it will be a part of HTML5

JN: We also want to allow cases where a good native semantic exists - to enhance
... One way that ARIA is used (may not be optimal) but is to add it afterwards to make code accessible.

LG: Retrofit existing code - less than Best Practice - but it's better to have code that may not be Best Practice, but it is accessible
... That type of sentiment is what we would like to add to the Note that can be referenced by techniques

Status of group

<Joshue108> +q

<Joshue108> ack, me

RESOLUTION: Follow decision from WCAG meeting - create note in ARIA Technology that can be referenced.

Question from WAI-ARIA Task Force: Direction on ARIA states technique

LG: Instead of just signing up for techniques - you have to also commit to a date.

<Joshue108> +1 to Loretta

<Joshue108> +1 to Marc

JOC: Also need an indication on the wiki that shows when techniques are complete

JOC will update the wiki - clear the slate

<Joshue108> +q

<Joshue108> +q to say that the autocomplete support for HTML5 actually isn't bad

<Zakim> Joshue, you wanted to say that the autocomplete support for HTML5 actually isn't bad

LG: Would like to get a basic set of techniques out - so that we can publish something and then we can add to it

JN has added the suggested techniques to 4.1.2 in the wiki
