<clown> richardschwerdtfeger: the history of changes to the spec: https://github.com/w3c/aria/commits/June_2014_TR/spec

<richardschwerdtfeger> scribe: Matt

ARIA 1.1 draft of document status

RS: posinset and setsize for tabs should be called out since people have been asking

<richardschwerdtfeger> RS: in the Status of This Document

JC: Alex has brought concerns with describedat; concerns I share. So I added editorial note to that section.

<clown> just in case it's relevant, the change log for the spec: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/June_2014_TR/spec/aria.html#changelog

<jcraig> http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html#aria-describedat

<jcraig> Req of concern: User agents should provide a device-independent mechanism to allow a user to navigate the user agent to content referenced by the @aria-describedat attribute. User agents should also provide a device-independent mechanism to return the user's focus from the descriptive content view to the original content view. For example, a user agent may provide access to the document or document fragment referenced by the the @aria-describedat attribute in a

<jcraig> contextual menu associated with the object.

<jcraig> JC 2014-06-03. The previous paragraph may be at-risk. Implementors from Mozilla, Google, and Apple have expressed concern over the RFC-2119 "should" requirement above: If the statement remains as-is, @aria-describedat would break the ARIA pattern to not affect mainstream UI. Dominic M. mentioned that if this patterned changed, developers may become more "suspicious of ARIA and not want to apply simple accessibility bug fixes without worrying about the implications

<jcraig> for their design." Alex S. said, UI-based requirements "should be rather part of HTML than ARIA."

JC: Concern is that the is the first ARIA requirement that modifies user experience.

RS: this is a should, not a must.

JC: It is a concern if it is a should. we could change it to a MAY.

CS: I agree this is a first for ARIA; I believe it is a good change.
... Perhaps it should even be a MUST.

RS: Cynthia, can you get input from the IE team.

JC: We have no plans to implement the UI piece of this in webkit.

CS: I would like to add some other content to the editorial note that reflects other views.

RS: I see this as very likely showing up in some epub readers.

<richardschwerdtfeger> RS: seeing the Tie between Readium, IDPF, and the Diagram project

JC: With SVG, we can now imbed accessible descriptions both in vector and raster images and make them directly accessible without longdesc or describedat.

CS: I will give content to James today to put in the note.

<richardschwerdtfeger> ACTION: Cynthia Get feedback on use of ARIA to drive UI changes in the browser as a “SHOULD” from the IE team [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/06/09-aria-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1451 - Get feedback on use of aria to drive ui changes in the browser as a “should” from the ie team [on Cynthia Shelly - due 2014-06-16].

<jcraig> action-1451: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html#aria-describedat

<trackbot> Notes added to action-1451 Get feedback on use of aria to drive ui changes in the browser as a “should” from the ie team.

Implementation guide

Joseph: aaria-checked removed from option; now there is some pushback and I didn't make the change to the guide
... so now guide and mapping may be out of sync
... this is for situations where selections and checked are orthoganal

BG: there is a windows component on msdn where for checkable listbox

<bgaraventa1979> Win UI equiv http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.checkedlistbox(v=vs.110).aspx

Joanie: If there is nothing definitely prohibiting selection and check from being separate, then we would need to support it. Even if it is not good design.

Discussion of JQS UI

<jamesn> http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxlistbox/index.htm#demos/jqxlistbox/checkboxes.htm

<joanie> http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxlistbox/index.htm#demos/jqxlistbox/checkboxes.htm

RS: We are still looking for use cases where check and selection are independent and have spearate meanings.

MK: There could be use cases where checking refers to something like setting a preference and selection is selection for an operation.

JC: That could be done with a grid where the element that controls selection is separate.
... we can use checked on menuitemradio

RS: this change is not for menuitems
... Is it for treeitem?

JC: treeitem is really no different from option.

RS: we might break some things in trees; need to investigate.

CS: What is motiviation for change?

JC: For validation to avoid using the wrong state. Checked and selected are not equivalent and an autor error can make things not work correctly.
... one example is radio buttons

RS: Is it removed from implementation guide?

Joseph: it is still in. I was prepared to remove but have not done it.
... Alex plans to ignore aria-checked on option.

JC: WebKit does as well.

<bgaraventa1979> +q

JC: aria-checked was in the list of supported states for option because of inheritence but it didn't carry any meaning in so is ignored.

BG: what about partially checked

CS: this is common in setup for windows programs

<jcraig> mixed: http://i.technet.microsoft.com/dynimg/IC562743.png

<joanie> http://csharp.net-informations.com/gui/cs-checkedlistbox.htm

Joanie: this example with days of the week has some partially checked items in a listbox
... Tuesday is partially checked.

JC: propose that we remove selected from radio and checkbox but leave checked on option

<jcraig> add checked back to option, which will inherit to treeitem

<jcraig> leave radio and checkbox unchanged in the spec (no longer has aria-selected in aria 1.1)

RESOLUTION: in spec, restore aria-checked to option role. In implementation guide, remove optional mapping of aria-selected from radio and menuitemradio.
