- 15:13:48 [JF]

- 15:13:54 [JF]
- JS: Lets not give up that easy

- 15:14:42 [JF]
- JS: would it be more acceptable if we can state we cannot find a user-agent that supports
- 15:15:05 [chaals]
- q-
- 15:15:08 [JF]
- PC: Some kind of evidence, in particular to show, that X-scenario in a browser did not work
- 15:15:27 [JF]
- PC: Not suggesting that the TF, as author, produce test-cases that fail
- 15:15:55 [JF]
- PC: so simply testing 1 or more browsers, under x testing scenario, is better

- 15:16:50 [JF]
- PC: take a simple document, use a user-agent, one or more, perhaps with an AT, then explain what you did and the results
- 15:17:22 [chaals]
- ack me
- 15:17:24 [chaals]
- ack ri
- 15:17:27 [JF]
- Chaals: doesn't seem to be a high bar. Sounds like you are asking for a list of things that doesn't work, but has been tested
- 15:17:28 [richardschwerdtfeger]
- http://html5accessibility.com/
- 15:17:58 [JF]
- RS: the editor (Steve) has already done some testing and showing his results at the URL provided
- 15:18:13 [JF]
- suspect this is based on a non-nomative passage
- 15:18:20 [JF]
- testing has already been done for interop
- 15:18:37 [JF]
- RS: If steve were to present his test cases, would that be adequate?
- 15:19:14 [JF]
- PC: Yes, in fact what we are hoping is that if somebody came forward with a test case that shows a fail across all browsers, then we could look to add that to the larger test suite
- 15:20:05 [JF]
- Chaals: How much time would it take to get steve's work ready for this?
- 15:20:21 [JF]
- PC: Please remember we have started the CfC for Canvas testing
- 15:20:44 [JF]
- if the TF comes back with a request for more time, that would likely be granted
- 15:21:04 [JF]
- Chaals: would that be reasonable to do quickly
- 15:21:26 [JF]
- MS: Steve has noted that html5accessibility requires some additional work to be updated
- 15:21:35 [David]
- www.html5accessibility.com/tests/ARIA-tests/
- 15:21:52 [JF]
- MS: In an ideal world, likely 30 days, but with holidays, etc. would likely need a bit more time
- 15:23:11 [JF]
- PC: Suggest that request for an extension to Sept. 1st, and prior to that, present a status report. Expect the chairs to support. Set an agressive date, and then give rope as needed
- 15:23:21 [JF]
- Chaals: sounds like a reasonable time-line
- 15:24:04 [JF]
- PC: One additional request: if you make progress, do not batch it all at the end, rather provide rolling updates
- 15:25:34 [JF]
- JS: Need to add a footnote. Agree with the process, but it really is different from the original marking of the process outlined in San Jose

- zakim, take up agendum 4
- 15:25:47 [Zakim]
- agendum 4. "Canvas testing and interoperability" taken up [from janina]
- 15:26:06 [paulc]
- q+
- 15:26:13 [JF]
- Chaals: Short answer is, the same thing applies. We need to provide evidence of what works and what doesn't
- 15:26:15 [chaals]
- ack pa
- 15:27:06 [JF]
- PC: Believe it was at WG meeting last week - probably going to be more testing of canvas than other aspects of the spec
- 15:27:47 [JF]
- Chaals: there was a call 2 weeks ago, where Rich discussed what worked and what didn't. Some does, some doesn't, but we want to get to a point where we can have it in HTML5, but its not ready yet
- 15:28:24 [JF]
- Chaals: hope to have them ready and passed later, and still catch up to html5
- 15:28:46 [JF]
- PC: encourage the TF to follow the same process as above - provide evidence as early as possible
- 15:30:06 [JF]
- Rich: as I understand it, the path piece has been implemented in a browser
- 15:30:16 [JF]
- Chaals: issues is that we do not have enough to pass
- 15:30:39 [JF]
- Rich: what I really want to see is the caret selection / focus rings get done in this Recommendation
- 15:31:03 [JF]
- Chaals: short answer is we are in the same position. Early comments better than complete comments
- 15:31:44 [JF]
- JS: So we need implementers of this correct?
- 15:32:14 [JF]
- Rich: sent out a note to MS asking about implementation, but have not received an answer
- 15:32:39 [JF]
- CS: don;t believe it is in yet
- 15:32:51 [JF]
- CS: Is there a date for a dot release for canvas?
- 15:33:21 [JF]
- JS: this could exit for CR now minus the things that might get pulled
- 15:33:40 [JF]
- PC: There is already a next-gen document now
- 15:34:04 [paulc]
- For 5.1 schedule, refer to http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/html5-2014-plan.html
- 15:34:46 [JF]
- Chaals: short answer is that we need to look at interop and see what we have
- 15:34:57 [paulc]
- q+
- 15:34:57 [JF]
- knowing that there are a number of things following
- 15:35:16 [paulc]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-2dcontext-20121217/
- 15:35:16 [JF]
- PC: wish to point out that focus rings are not on "at risk" list
- 15:35:37 [JF]
- when you are in CR, 2 things that can block, testing and implementation
- 15:36:02 [MarkS]
- Focus rings are marked as At Risk in the implementation report: http://dev.w3.org/html5/misc/canvas-implementation.html
- 15:36:04 [JF]
- reason for 5.0 schedule stretches out so far is that anticipate length of time for implementation
- 15:36:32 [JF]
- PC: if you remove something from the Candidate Spec, you need to return to square 1
- 15:36:45 [chaals]
- [MarkS - but that just means "no interop yet", it isn't the same as "at risk" in the process sense]
- 15:36:50 [JF]
- so focus rings is not on the At Risk list
- 15:37:13 [chaals]

- 15:37:26 [Zakim]
- agendum 5. "using alternative text in HTML" taken up [from janina]
- 15:37:48 [JF]
- Chaals: this is the changes to the HTML spec, and the guidance that it gives
- 15:38:06 [JF]
- Steve F has been working on that, but we do not have a published version of that yet
- 15:38:16 [JF]
- hope to have that available for review in a few days
- 15:38:56 [JF]

- JS: delay appears that we were going to finish some edits in the html5 spec first, and having those edites come into the spec document
- 15:41:29 [JF]
- Chaals: short answer is that we expect Steve's document to be moot.
- 15:42:08 [JF]
- PC: Notice Steve\s note of June 6 - states: I have added/updated the following sections in the 5.1 spec...

- PC: Want to make sure what all the steps are. Co-chairs looking for heart-beat docs to be done, and alt techniques is on the list
- 15:44:23 [JF]
- but no point doing that, as it is being merged into the html 5 and 5.1 docs
