HTML5 may also have restrictions 16:21:26 ... right now we're working on the ARIA definitions 16:21:31 ... looking for an example now... 16:21:43 tzviya: the glossary terms are a good example 16:21:53 ...

This has been discussed for more than a decade 16:34:58 George: when a long desc is needed, such as "the diagrammer", a framework for making images accessible 16:35:14 s/diagrammer/Diagrammar/ 16:35:42 ... when would you use long desc, and the other aspect is SVG, how do we add enhancements to other elements other than just the image? 16:35:48 ... this is just focused on image 16:35:57 ... there are other items that need a description 16:36:14 ... is the rec that there be a variety of techniques, depending on the element? Like canvas... 16:36:16 mgylling: right 16:36:49 ... there is an attribute in ARIA 1.1 called described-at, which takes a URL so you can point outside the doc 16:36:58 ... which is a more generic version of longdesc 16:37:08 ... longdesc is allowed on IMG and map only 16:37:22 ... so you're asking about what is the long-term vision 16:37:30 George: there's the political aspect 16:37:42 ... it's been a Herculean effort from them 16:37:59 ... just trying to get my head around all this 16:38:29 mgylling: it's safe to say that in PF strategy terms, longdesc is intended to solve problems in the short term 16:38:37 ... while waiting for ARIA 1.1 to me mature 16:39:20 George: the techniques for exposing this attribute, in Firefox it's a context menu item 16:39:42 ... I think the long term goal is good 16:39:46 q+ 16:40:03 mgylling: another thing on horizon is annotations 16:40:06 q? 16:40:11 ... which can be used for a11y 16:40:24 ... with annotations, the pointing description is reversed 16:40:34 s/description/direction/ 16:40:45 ... it's good to have both described-at and annotations 16:40:49 ... that's the end point 16:40:55 ack ivan 16:40:56 ack ivan 16:41:08 ivan: I'm a bit bothered by what's happening in terms of process 16:41:22 ... George is asking about long term 16:41:37 ... procedurally, at this point the only thing that members can vote on 16:41:51 ... is essentially a yes or no, since this is already a PR 16:42:01 ... they may decide it's not to be a REC 16:42:13 ... but it is not at this stage that any technical comments should occur 16:42:25 ... but we missed the boat 16:43:03 ... If publishers support this, that's a valuable message, as there has been controvery 16:43:31 s/controvery/controversy/ 16:43:32 George: we supplied formal written comments a couple of years ago 16:43:40 ack clapierre 16:43:52 clapierre: a couple questions 16:43:58 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Aug/0028.html 16:44:07 ... first, here's Apple's formal objection 16:44:40 ... if this long description is pointing to a URL, how does this work offline 16:44:42 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Oct/0099.html 16:45:03 q+ 16:45:27 mgylling: good questions 16:45:42 ... having monitored this for a decade, I'm lacking enthusiasm to start into this again 16:45:46 ... it is what it is 16:46:03 ... the politics are so involved that technical merit discussions are moot 16:46:11 ... it doesn't solve all problems, but solves some 16:46:12 q- 16:46:19 ... but it's not the golden wrench 16:46:25 q? 16:46:27 ... it's just one thing in the toolbox 16:46:45 clapierre: ARIA seems like the right approach 16:46:55 ... affects SVG, STEM... 16:47:11 ... it was rejected for HTML 16:47:24 ... will this get into a revision of HTML5 quicker than ARIA? 16:47:56 ivan: not sure how this is done editorially 16:48:15 ... it might be an extension 16:48:44 George: the politics here is that if DPUB or a number of members come out against longdesc 16:48:57 ... the public would view this as the publishing industry not wanting to support a11y 16:49:04 ... that would be the appearance of it 16:49:08 ... that's the wrong message 16:49:22 ... I don't think we could avoid that (mis)perception 16:49:33 ... if the group came out against longdesc 16:49:38 ivan: I understand 16:49:48 ... I don't want to evade the issue 16:50:01 ... but since we're in PR, this IG is not in position to be pro/con 16:50:08 q+ 16:50:11 ... this is now in the hands of the individual members 16:50:19 ... it's way too late 16:50:25 ack tzviya 16:50:32 ... it's out of the hands of the groups 16:51:13 tzviya: Let's remind people to review this, but it's not the place of DPUB to say how to vote 16:51:13 q+ 16:51:32 mgylling: so we want to get the publishing industry to vote 16:52:51 ... It's a milestone, but it's not the endpoint 16:53:00 ... the more important question is what to do after longdesc? 16:53:19 ... participation in PF from publishing is low 16:53:31 ... maybe we should get more people to work on ARIA 1.1 16:53:59 George: participation in PF and ARIA is going to be important 16:54:10 q? 16:54:14 ... also, the implementations of those features and functions is important 16:54:22 ... like in Readium 16:54:29 ack Bill_K 16:54:53 Bill_Kasdorf: with regard to longdesc, what is the status of implementation 16:55:07 mgylling: there is an implementation report published with the provisional rec 16:55:35 mgylling: we're poking AC reps... 16:55:54 ... how can we be more proactive moving forward, that's a matter of resource assignment 16:56:07 q? 16:56:09 ... so now's a good time for digital publishing to get involved in ARIA 16:56:19 ack [IPcaller] 16:56:36 ???: what happens if review for longdesc is negative? 16:56:53 s/???/avnesh 16:56:57 mgylling: what would we practically do? 16:57:22 mgylling: epub 3.1 already allows aria described-at 16:57:48 ... we can't easily answer the question 16:58:09 s/epub 3.1/epub 3.0.1 16:58:11 q? 16:58:14 ... any last questions? 16:58:38 mgylling: thanks everyone 16:58:42 -Markus 16:58:44 -Luc 16:58:44 -Bill_Kasdorf 16:58:45 -Julie 16:58:45 -Ivan 16:58:45 -fjh 16:58:46 -tzviya 16:58:46 -Stearns 16:58:48 -MikeMiller 16:58:48 -bjdmeest 16:58:48 -clapierre 16:58:49 -dkaplan3 16:58:49 -[IPcaller] 16:58:49 all: bye bye bye bye bye 16:58:50 -George_Kerscher 16:58:51 -Bert 17:00:12 clapierre has left #dpub 17:03:05 trackbot, end telcon 17:03:05 Zakim, list attendees 17:03:05 As of this point the attendees have been George_Kerscher, dkaplan3, [IPcaller], clapierre, MikeMiller, Ivan, +1.212.255.aaaa, tzviya, Luc, Markus, Vlad, Stearns, bjdmeest, 17:03:09 ...
