In IE, they all have to do their own evaluation due to very limited exposure to MSAA, and no IAccessible2 support.

So there isn't a policy about how much support there needs to be. 17:06:07 AWK: So it comes down to how much difficulty there would be if someone relied on a sufficient technique for end users. 17:06:09 ack me 17:06:17 marcjohlic has joined #wai-wcag 17:07:14 q+ 17:07:15 zakim, queue? 17:07:16 I see Kathy on the speaker queue 17:07:22 q+ 17:07:31 ack Kathy 17:07:54 q? 17:07:55 KW: What would make this stronger is an example of a button or something else. 17:07:57 q+ 17:08:14 KW: So it provides an object other than an image - we are getting stuck on support for images. 17:08:31 JN: I'll respond to that - we originally had that. 17:08:47 KW: Can we change the title? 17:08:55 ack me 17:09:01 AWK: Lets change it to images? 17:09:15 KW: Yes, then you can change number 3 in test procedure. 17:09:19 zakim, queue? 17:09:19 I see David, Sailesh_Panchang on the speaker queue 17:09:31 zakim, mute me 17:09:31 Joshue_O_Connor should now be muted 17:09:34 ack David 17:10:19 DMacD: Do we want to go where the puck should be or where it is, in terms of a11y support? 17:10:39 KW: Thats very interesting, my clients are not looking just at WCAG but the UA. 17:10:53 KW: So if we have sufficient techniques we should have good support. 17:11:11 ack sail 17:11:11 KW: People rely on the sufficient techniques. 17:11:48 SP: There was a comment on flakey aria-desc support- I don't believe that. If used for things that are not UI controls then there is a problem. 17:12:09 SP: So when using ARIA for rich UI stuff, it will work not ordinary HTML elements. 17:12:19 zakim, queue? 17:12:20 I see no one on the speaker queue 17:12:41 AWK: Now the procedure etc is current with what we have been discussing. 17:13:16 AWK: There is still some debate around what Sailesh is saying. My understanding is that aria-desc is to be used with images. 17:13:20 AWK: Thoughts? 17:14:57 DM: Good debate, but I don't know that the ARIA spec is explicit on that it's just for interactive elements 17:15:40 JN: Spec editors would say that it is not the intent that this would be for interactive elements. If that's unclear we should point out where in the spec and get it corrected as that's not its intention 17:16:05 AWK: Doesn't appear that ARIA Best Practices document has any issue with using it on images 17:16:29 +1 to accept 17:17:00 DM: Are User Agent Notes up to date? 17:17:18 http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-describedby_to_provide_descriptions_of_images#Using_ARIA_Describedby_to_provide_descriptions_of_images 17:17:18 AWK: Looks like last update was from David - can you check them for updates 17:17:36 JN: Be sure to check latest version of NVDA is included 17:18:18 DM: Looks like User Agent Notes need to be updated as it shows IE works 17:18:33 KW: Found that IE is flakey on this - works at times and not others 17:19:43 AWK: David will update UA Notes 17:19:51 RESOLUTION: Accepted as amended pending David's updates 17:20:17 ACTION: David to update user agent notes for http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Using_aria-describedby_to_provide_descriptions_of_images#Using_ARIA_Describedby_to_provide_descriptions_of_images 17:20:17 'David' is an ambiguous username.
