<scribe> Scribe: David

TPAC 2014

Need PF conversation with HTML PF considering topics along with media sub team

PF nervous about Encrypted media, we're not finding anything but still nervous...

want to identify where we can try testing

<MarkS> s/Encrypted Media/EME/G

RS: key things happening SVG... it's becoming more in sync with HTML... SVG might subclass HTML element, came from accessibility conversations
... working on interoperability spec, both referencing core specifications, same in core ARIA for base semantics

need to pull name computation from core spec, for things like alt vs title amd desc in SVG,

RS: Will pull out q section for name computation and SVG and HTML will call that.
... working on taxonomy for grqphics, like parts of a chart, lines, axis, etc... applicable to Javascript and other languages... lot's of interlock. would be good to have a meeting with all 3 groups
... Digital publication,s we can pull this into text books...

JS: epub may introduce extensions to aria, to coordinate...
... html.next might be on toac agenda also
... event enumerations on event handlers on list

<paulc> SVG, PF and HTML WGs all meet on Thu and Fri Oct 30-31

<paulc> http://www.w3.org/2014/11/TPAC/#details

Paul: SVG, HTML and PF meeting on same two days at tpac

<chaals> RESOLUTION: At TPAC it would be useful to talk about event handler enumeration in DOM

<chaals> RESOLUTION: At TPAC it would be good to talk about taxonomy for graphics

<chaals> RESOLUTION: At TPAC it would be good to talk about roles and validation for Digital Publications

<chaals> RESOLUTION: At TPAC it would be good to talk about name computation and the like

1) event enumerations on event handlers on DOM 2) SVG Taxomony 3) dPub role 4) HTML Next 5) interoperability of mappings accross svg html aria

6) EME review

JF: EME will probably be short...

Paul: I'll prep for EME

DM: WCAG...

JS: we'll take a look at that

Longdesc CR Progress

<chaals> [Along the lines of discussing alt calculation - with WCAG, as well as HTML/SVG - the question of whether a longdesc is appropriate on an image with a null alt]

JS: Candidate response, ORCA implementation in Linux environment... they provided feedback.... 5 items... we accepted 1 and made none substantial editorial
... are we ok with the changes?

CM: Their concerned regarding a reference... I made a fix and will see how its accepted

JS: have copy for us?

<chaals> proposed text: "Note that while in some cases this will allow user agents to present the description, there will be cases where user agents can not or do not restrict the information presented to the container element."

proposed text: "Note that while in some cases this will allow user agents to present the description, there will be cases where user agents can not or do not restrict the information presented to the container element.

JS: yeah let's keep it simple as this, don't want to give best pracice in spec
... proposed dispositions ok? before CFC
... James C. feels we addressed a secondary issue, not the main issue... from ORCA
... others?
... CR worked well... we got good feedback from the implementors

JB: this group went into CR with fairly good implementation prior...

JS: don't here any recs to clarify our disposition, or more about James comments

CM: some people on list said they like the additions

MS: made it clearer

JS: would like to move to TR, will involved director looking at formal obj.
... we feel the archived record is sufficient, no new issues in formal Obj. should we move forward
... what is between us... little dospositions on fragment IDs... don't think we need to respond to formal Obj... and 3rd. have an online pointer to adjusted spec. as per decisions

Access Key/Command

JS: html.next access key

CM: old folks here, remember accesskey... useful idea, but not well used... currently JS hijacks keyboard, causing unexpected results
... twitter on my mac... keyboard shortcut on system

Enumerating Event Handlers on Elements

Access Key/Command

Accesskey was designed to do what JS does these days... html advice bad for browsers

<JF_> conflict resolution? discoverability? internationalization?

CM: No browser should be able to highjack things I've got using on my system
... my russian keyboard... latin script useless for access keys
... it was put back in HTML5 but we have to be clear that what makes it work is that user has control of which key to use

JF: problems woth Accesskey. conflict resolution? discoverability? internationalization?
... can conflict with AT

s/conflick/conflict

JF: lot's of problems, devil is in implementation

Cynthia: there are NO keys are left, when considering all broawers.

CS: the word web app might take over a browser feature ... which is good reason

<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to say the browser is responsible for discovery (since it may have re-mapped the key)

CS: are you aware of Keyboard event spec?

CM: Keyboard event interferes with your system in uexpected ways, access keys is easy to do,
... discover ability critical, responsibility of browser, it may choose to remap for language... cyrillic etc...
... OPERA had one key to find all the accesskeys for a website,

<janina> I think handlers will be put over

CM: it put in notification into the chrome... Accesskeys available... and let keys be reassigned
... regarding speciallized cases ctl-p to print... not related to accesskeys, ... can rrdirect standard function, which is an ongoing discussion

<Zakim> liam, you wanted to mention indirection by function-name

<chaals> s/rrdirect/use web activites/wishes (né Web Intents) to redirect/

<ShaneM> it was an element

<liam> [access key at rong level of abstraction, should be using abstract names of functionalities associatd with keys]

JF: tag along on LIAM... way back in the day... <access> element or attribute, left open... I think it's a good directions

<Zakim> chaals, you wanted to talk about access

Liam: [access key at wrong level of abstraction, should be using abstract names of functionalities associatd with keys]

<paulc> (I have to depart to get ready for the HTML WG meeting)

CM: if you are writing a web page and have to come uo with a conceptual map it is more complex thqn just adding attribute to things thqt need to be shortcutted... easy to make a browser interface thqt could manage this
... extend it to hold a word, ie for a voice rec... system

JS: we're doing overview of items that we want to get into detail....

I'd like to take up a footnote idea
