new on TR http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-drafts.html#tr_LCWD

<MichaelC> XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.1

Michael: Propose too low-level for us.

(agreed)

Mixed Content Followup http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Dec/0106.html

Community Groups

<MichaelC> URI Specification Community Group

Michael: Create a formal specification of the URI specification standard. Too low-level for us?
... Could be a dead group

Mixed content followup

<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to mention updated RDFa specs.

Shane: Looking at CRs, RDFa has just put out 4 revisions of their specs (PERs). We need to keep track of these.

Michael: Formally, we don't need to review PERs.
... Usually we would not need to revise our roles spec for redirecting the links since they would go to the latest versions.

PER = Proposed Edited Recommendation

Now mixed content (really)

<MichaelC> https://github.com/w3c/webappsec/pull/110/files

Michael: On the icon they generalized the language, now just "notification" for the UA. Under user control they added a note that it should be offered to the a11y API. I think they addressed our concerns.

John: They should really use MUST rather than SHOULD.
... They are clearly using RFC-2119 language, with a SHOULD on this note.

Janina: There seem to be a lot of MAYs around, so a MUST would be very strong.

John: There is a MUST just before this.

Michael: What you just read came from a different section.
... There is an expanding widget...

Janina: We need to look at this in context

James: I agree, it should be a MUST

<MichaelC> Mixed Content EditorsĀ“ Draft

Shane: Is there a way to make it a conditional MUST?

<MichaelC> rendered context of the section in question: http://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/mixedcontent/#requirements-user-controls

Michael: We already got the condition there, so a MUST would be appropriate.

<Zakim> ShaneM, you wanted to say that we need to remember that this document does not define the requirements on the chrome

Shane: This is an aspect of the chrome. I don't think we can put basic requirements on the chrome.

<MichaelC> AWK suggestion of UAAG coverage for UA chrome requirements

Michael: Sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3

<MichaelC> http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/#gl-AT-access

Janina: We should thank them for their prompt handling, and propose to change a SHOULD to a MUST since it is conditional to the previous sentence. They should also add additional references to UAAG.

Michael: I am hesitant for adding the references. We got feedback in the past that it is the responsibility of the implementers to follow these guidelines.

John: If they don't provide a link to UAAG, that's okay. But we can still give them the link as a reference.

Michael: Okay with that.

Janina: Yes, just as a justification.

(no objection)

<JF> +1 to the proposal

RESOLUTION: PF asks to change the SHOULD into a MUST, and provide a link to the UAAG sections as a justification for this.

<janina> +1

Web Notifications Followup https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/wai-liaison/2014Dec/0007.html

Michael: We sent a comment to Web Notifications in Oct.
... Text about indicating the language of a notification. What if that language is null?
... The response was that it must comply with HTML5...

John: I would like to verify whether HTML5 requires @lang.

Janina: Maybe we have a comment on HTML?
... There is going to be an HTML5.1 and HTML5.2.

Shane: HTML5.0 encourages using @lang on the document root.

Michael: Sounds like we are proposing to accept their response on this.
... Next issue was the ability to provide alternative text for the icon.
... The response is basically that it is not their fault if developers don't follow the specs.

John: With the help of the conformance checker, they will get reminded about this, if we make this mandatory.

Michael: Not sure there is a conformance checker for Web notifications
... It is probably an API that is rendered by the user agent in a dialog.
... Unlikely that a conformance checker checks function call arguments.

Janina: Shall we consider this at our next meeting?

John: There are tools that will run scripts for testing.

Janina: I'd like to more time to consider and rethink our options.

Michael: I'd like to send a response on the first item. And mention that we are still discussing our response on the second one.

ARIA.Next Items

Janina: Welcome, Tzviya.

Shane: I offered to write a process document to tell how to define additional roles, as needed in D-Pub.

Tzviya: We will take your process document. We have some expertise in using ARIA.
... We have done some work with Respec.

Rich: Create a GitHub section for D-Pub. Take the ARIA respec and paste it into this section.

Michael: I can help you to set up the document in the repository, and provide administrative support.
... I will provide access to the editors at the top of the document.

Janina: Email list for the task force?
... Something like public-dpub-a11y

Michael: What will the posting policy be?

<tzviya_> public-dpub-accessibility@w3.org

Janina: Public reading, anybody can post, moderated

Rich: SVG a11y tf had its first meeting last week. Good start. Next meeting this Friday at 9am EST.

Janina: This meeting is adjourned. Next PF meeting on Jan. 7.
... Happy holidays, and a happy new year.
