jcraig: has been missing, but still working on actions

T: Topic tracking of user agent spec on aria1.1

tracking of user agent spec on aria1.1

ok

MichaelC: Wants to wait until TPAC to get list... can make wiki of known defects

rich: wants to open defects before TPAC

<Zakim> Joseph_Scheuhammer, you wanted to ask how defects are found — are there 1.1 test cases?

Joseph: clarifies - these are potential defects as there are no test cases

MichaelC: Plan to continue using murcurial test harness

<clown> issue-623?

<trackbot> issue-623 -- Consider aria-inert for disambiguation of modal states (re: html|*@inert) -- open

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/623

MichaelC: can close action, has feedback

RESOLUTION: close action 1461

Open actions and issues:

<clown> action-1486?

<trackbot> action-1486 -- Joanmarie Diggs to Inspect webkit backwards-compatibility regarding aria-setsize="999+" format for issue-397 -- due 2014-09-29 -- OPEN

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1486

Joanie" is editing, needs changes in webkit, will break older browsers

<joanie> http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityObject.cpp#L2035

<richardschwerdtfeger> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1486

<MichaelC> ARIA Implementation Issums

Joanie: needs to convert to an int from string

<clown> http://localhost/~clown/GitHub/aria/implementation/aria-implementation.html#ariaSetsize

<clown> http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/implementation/aria-implementation.html#ariaSetsize

<clown> issue-397?

<trackbot> issue-397 -- Need a way to specify an indeterminate set size -- open

<trackbot> https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/397

joanie: aria-setsize="999+" , not liking the plus

joseph: need a way to have indeterinate size

<Stefan> -q

rich: could use negative number

jm: information to provide there is at least x number of items

matt: what is the value of that?

rich: why redo the APIs?

jm: need to use -1 instead

RESOLUTION: use a -1 value means unknown setsize

1486: can be closed

<jcraig> unknown setsize is the default

joanie: -1 is the conventional value

<clown> http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html#aria-setsize

<jcraig> What about aria-setsizemin or aria-minsetsize instead? This is about sets that are *at least* as big as a known number, but known to be larger.

<Stefan> progressbar indeterminate

<Stefan> status -1?

<Zakim> Joseph_Scheuhammer, you wanted to point out jcraig's irc suggestion.

rich: does not want to introduce another change to the platform unless it is necessary

joseph: looking at mapping...

<Stefan> -q

cynthia: thinks a negative number is better than converting to a string

<clown> http://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/interface_i_accessible2.html#a94d4d84e000ef2fa3f2abf1148779941

<clown> 1 based, 0 indicates that this value is not applicable

<Stefan> +q

clown: group position is 1 based... all three values are 1 based no room for negative value

rich: easier to change a value than introduce a new attribute
... do people want to use -1 and get buy in?

cyntihia: have buy in

<clown> AXARIASetSize: <value>

<Stefan> I just want to add that we have at least two different concepts for indeterminate, in progressbar role we OMIT aria-valuenow to express that is indeterminate

rich: lets go with a value of -1 and see if this works for Alex and IA2?

Stephen: we have two different approaches to indeterminate

<Stefan> -q

Stephan: progress bar (omit) is indeterminate, now this would add a second form of indeterminate

cynthia: better to have a explicit value, omit may be an author error

rich: testing may fail with ommitting...

cynthia: believes Alex and IA2 will accept -1

<joanie> fesch: that was me

s/cyntia/joanie/

<clown> s/cynthia: believes Alex and IA2 will accept −1/joanie: believes Alex and IA2 will accept −1/
