If the guidelines say everything must be documented, then everything must be documented even for partial conformance 18:22:07 gl: trying to be inclusive 18:23:09 jr: COMPONENT, need to insert into 2. 18:23:12 This conformance option may be selected when user agent (or plug-in, extension, etc.) 18:23:34 would be This conformance option may be selected when user agent component (eg. plug-in, extension, etc.) 18:24:44 gl: this would be one that nearly all browsers would use, because they will require at least 1 extension to meet all UAAG requirements 18:26:29 gl: so using term, partial conformance, a browser may not comply except with an add-on, or partial conformance could only be for an add-on 18:27:24 gl: take 2 browsers. neith comlies out of the box. 18:28:24 ...FF has a plugin that allows it to fully comply. BrowserX doesn't have a plugin so it does partial. 18:29:49 jr: FF could do partial, but say we have all the archetectural features to allow for a plugin. if X doesn't have the architecture, then it could not fully comply 18:31:18 js: add 3rd example - does not meet 2.2.3 and does not have extensible architecture then they could not claim conformance 18:33:41 jr: had pushback with ATAG. folks would not make a full claim with extensions, because the extension maker could make case for payment for use of extension 18:35:51 gl: need some language somewhere to make it clear that person making the claim, when and how they claim full copliance when using 3rd party add on. versus partial - where their architecture allows (theoretically) the use of adons. 18:35:52 Want to make sure the document makes it very clear how the person creating the claim when and how they claim full compliance relying on third-party, optional components (e.g. the mouseless browsing add-on) vs. partial compliance in that their architecture in theory allows creation of such an add-on but either it doesn't exist yet or they don't want to be reliant upon a specific available add-on. 18:37:55 js: don't like idea of partial conformance of some theoretical existence of a plugin. 18:38:59 jr: was written specifically that way. theoretical possibility that something could be written. it shouldn't require you to name names of plugins (that would be full compliance) 18:40:06 gl: this would allow any open source project to claim full compliance- because the source code is available and anyone can write an extension 18:40:34 jr: that seems far fetched 18:40:45 gl: what is the reasoning again... 18:41:46 jr: when you make a claim, open source browser, it does not do mouseless browsing, but it has an open architecture that allows plugins that get keystrokes, insert content. 18:42:39 ... vs other product, that doesn't have an extensible architecture, if you want mouseless, just rewrite the source. 18:43:12 KimPatch has joined #ua 18:43:42 jr: could be another type of partial conformance. there should be a way to make a claim without naming names. 18:44:04 js: I get this. 18:44:25 +Kim_Patch 18:45:19 jr: mouseless browsing, partial conformance. have their relationship with FF. mouseless should not care that FF can't highlight words. they are only about mouseless 18:45:57 ... what if there is a bunch of mouseless browsing plugins. FF could say yes there are mouseless plugins but not saying names. 18:46:24 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#conformance-partial 18:47:09 allanj has joined #ua 18:47:29 rrsagent, make minutes 18:47:29 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/01/17-ua-minutes.html allanj 18:49:55 kp: the example should exist, and give examples (x, y, z) or including blah 18:51:57 kp: 2 different things...I do 1 thing. and I do everything except for x. there are extensions that meet X examples are foo, foobar, and fubb 18:52:56 gl: but if there is a browser with a closed architecture, with a specific API, and there is only one extension. no-one is able to write others, etc. 18:53:05 kp: it must be documented. 18:53:52 kp: difference between open/closed architecture is the documentation 18:54:25 jr: extension exists, do we have to name them. 18:56:22 jr: host browser, definiitional split. mouseless doesn't have to meet longdesc, and a browser ??? 18:56:53 jr: extension as a browser. PDF is an extension. but is also a browser 18:57:25 s/definiitional/definitional 18:57:32 JR: Its writtenh the way it is because splitting user agent from plugins is too hairy 18:57:44 JR: ie a plugin could be a user agent 18:57:57 JR: so instead we just call it partial conformance... 18:58:22 JR: and if a full browser wants to claim its a component...fine...its a lot of work to do...just to then claim you are only a component 18:59:31 js: good here, need some tweekes (editorial?), need a decision tree. 19:03:18 js: full compliance must name names of extensions 19:05:01 partial- conformance: theoretical possibility of an extension, or that architecture allows extension, and there are some in the wild 19:05:19 .. there must be documentation as to the extensibility 19:10:36 ja: distinguish between browser missing a few bits, and an extension which is 1 bit. 19:11:15 gl: plugin as UA - pdf, media player, 19:11:38 jr: PDF is both. 19:12:47 ... could imagine a tool that sends everything to a rendering engine (transcoder) that is outside of itself. 19:14:01 ... water is muddy. software that hands things off vs doing something. mouseless does something, it is the end of the line... the browser hands things off. 19:15:03 jr: browser is an onion, it does a lot by itself, but can't do somethings so it hands it off. 19:15:32 ... mouseless takes the handoff, does its thing, and gives it back to the browser 19:15:55 JR: The concept of "hand offs" could be useful 19:17:04 mhakkinen has joined #ua 19:19:19 +Markku 19:24:08 jr: don't want loopholes 19:27:09 mh: partially compliant, with a theoretical extension. does the 3rd party add on interact with platform API or through a custom API 19:28:54 gl: extension could communicate directly the the a11y API or communicates through the extension architecture of the browser and the browser chats with the a11y APIO 19:29:54 gl: pdf viewer plugin 19:30:23 s/APIO/API 19:30:33 rrsagent, make minutes 19:30:33 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/01/17-ua-minutes.html allanj 19:31:26 While I think it is useful to make the best job of this as we can. It seems to me that we have to be working in good faith. These companies will have Lawyers, paid millions of [pick your currency] who would probably be able to run rings around anything we write here if they want to. I'm sure there will be many loopholes in combination with law, and companies will be able to get around lots of stuff if they want to. 19:33:39 -sharper 19:33:48 rrsagent, make minutes 19:33:48 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/01/17-ua-minutes.html allanj 19:37:45 Feb 8, another meeting to find apps and extensions that meet SC. 19:37:53 -Jan 19:38:30 -Kim_Patch 19:38:31 -Markku 19:38:34 -Greg_Lowney 19:38:44 -Jeanne 19:38:46 -Jim_Allan 19:38:46 WAI_UAWG()1:00PM has ended 19:38:46 Attendees were Jim_Allan, Jeanne, Greg_Lowney, sharper, Jan, Kim_Patch, Markku 19:38:57 rrsagent, make minutes 19:38:57 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/01/17-ua-minutes.html allanj 19:39:06 zakim, please part 19:39:06 Zakim has left #ua 19:39:27 regrets -kim 19:39:33 rrsagent, make minutes 19:39:33 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2013/01/17-ua-minutes.html allanj 19:39:52 rrsagent, please part 19:39:52 I see no action items
