1.10.1 review comments

original change:

1.10.1 Access Related Information: The user can access information from explicitly-defined relationships in the content, including at least the following (Level AA):

* label for a control or image (e.g. HTML label element, figcaption and aria-labelledby attributes)

* caption for a table

* row and column labels for a table cell

discussion of 'control' in forms vs form control vs form fields

gl: change wording or add the parenthetical back in

<scribe> ACTION: jeanne to add the (e.g. HTML label element, figcaption and aria-labelledby attributes) on 1.10.1 first bullet [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2014/08/28-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1025 - Add the (e.g. html label element, figcaption and aria-labelledby attributes) on 1.10.1 first bullet [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2014-09-04].

Action 1019 - definition of user interface

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2014JulSep/0076.html

original:

user interface

For the purposes of UAAG 2.0, the user interface includes both:

• user agent user interface: The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts, native audio/video player controls, and other components for input and output) and mechanisms (e.g. selection and focus) provided by the user agent that are not created on the basis of the author-supplied content. The user agent user interface may include extensions that become part of the user agent user interface...

scribe: (e.g. toolbars, additional menus).

• content user interface: The user interface that emerges from the user agent rendering of the author-supplied content. It includes all rendered content (e.g. text, headings, enabled elements, disabled elements, author-supplied audio/video controls).

Note: There may be a mix of recognized and unrecognized user interface controls depending on the author-supplied content.

This document distinguishes user agent user interface and content user interface only where required for clarity.

proposed:

The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts, native audio/video player controls, and other components for input and output) and mechanisms (e.g. selection and focus) provided by the user agent that are not created on the basis of the author-supplied content. The user agent user interface may include extensions that become part of the user agent user interface (e.g. toolbars, additional menus).

gl: ... should we put a note, that 'user interface' is used only for the user agent user interface and not anything created by the author.
... in content

js: written by the author...an author could write a User Agent such as a media player
... User Agent as noted in the conformance document....phrase it so if you are looking at this as a browser it applies to the browser, if a media player it refers to the media player
... because user agents can be nested, the term user interface applies to the application seeking conformance

<Greg> "Note: In this document the term user interface is reserved only for controls and mechanisms of the user agent that is being considered for conformance. It does not include controls and mechanisms created by content or other user agents. For example..." (stuff about nested and hosting UA)

kp: use definition for user agent user interface, and refer to it in the document as UA user interface

js: sounds good to me

gl: can we just create an acronym

js: sure

<Greg> "considered for conformance" or "evaluated for conformance"?

ja: UI or UAUI? or UA user interface

js: keep existing User Agent User Interface and use UA user interface in the document

delete 'content user interface'?

use the following:

user agent user interface: The controls (e.g. menus, buttons, prompts, native audio/video player controls, and other components for input and output) and mechanisms (e.g. selection and focus) provided by the user agent that are not created on the basis of the author-supplied content. The user agent user interface may include extensions that become part of the user agent user interface (e.g....

scribe: toolbars, additional menus).

use the term UA user interface in the document to replace User Agent User Interface

delete: content user interface definition and its Note.

Action 1018 response to MS07

proposed:

UAWG put non-desktop examples throughout Implementing UAAG and published a separate Note of Mobile Accessibility Examples from Implementing UAAG. UAWG chose to put most of their non-desktop examples in Implementing UAAG (a W3C Note), so it could be kept up to date without undermining the stability of UAAG success criteria. In addition, UAAG contains broad definitions of keyboard and a note...

scribe: under Principle 2 on Modality independence which also includes references to Indie UI. The term "keyboard" is not limited to physical keyboards, or even the on-screen keyboards provided by the platform. In our document the term also includes physical keyboards that can be connected externally, third-party on-screen keyboards that can add modifiers and navigation keys, and software...
... interfaces that can be used by assistive technology software. UAWG has updated Conformance and success criteria to improve the clarity that UAAG applies to mobile and many forms of input and navigation.

gl: change Implementing UAAG to UAAG20 Reference

<Greg> Might change "In our document the term" to add a reference to the fact that the glossary makes this clear.

<Greg> E.g. "In our document the glossary clarifies that the term..."

<Greg> We could even go so far as to add a poke such as "If a platform cannot accommodate an on-screen keyboard or third-party software that provides navigation commands, that is a flaw which is likely to prevent compliance."

1.7.4 de-minification of CSS on save

proposed: While it is customary for authors to compress stylesheets and scripts to save load time, it would be highly beneficial if the user agent saved the stylesheets in a user understandable formatted manner to facilitate authoring by users.

<Greg> "in a format that facilitates reading and editing by users (e.g. without stripping out line breaks)"?
