Marking WCAG 1.0 Obsolete.

michale: W3C is trying to clean up the doc, marking obsolete does not remove the doc but it will be disappeared from the index.

we are trying to mark old doc as obsolete

andy: we need to do CFC for this
... general consensus is marking the newest version would be good for venders and others to keep up with new version.

<kirkwood> +1 to 1.0 being obsolete!

ryladog: there may be some people/company still using WCAG 1.0

we may need some info about this

_ how about another country who is using the old version?

<Rachael> https://www.3playmedia.com/2017/08/22/countries-that-have-adopted-wcag-standards-map/

<JF> https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/

<Glenda> https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/india/ (India did not reference WCAG)

<Glenda> Indian Gov did reference WCAG 2.0 Level A in 2009

<Zakim> bruce_bailey, you wanted to say wcag 1.0 actually has parts that are harmful (as compared to HTML 3.2 which still works)

<kirkwood> bruce brings up a good pt

rachael: I copied the info

<Glenda> https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/united-states/ last updated 16 Feb 2017

jf: By looking at own source and policy, some people seems to use wcag1.0 as section 508 derivative. https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/
... as a suggestion, we may want do more publication before we pull the trigger.- marking WCAG1.0 obsolete.

<bruce_bailey> Per the WAI resource JF cited, here is the U.S. Dept of ED reference listed for refering to WCAG 1.0 under 504:

<bruce_bailey> https://www2.ed.gov/fund/contract/apply/clibrary/software.html

andy: question for michael, what are the triggers for marking "obsolete" within w3c?

michael: there is no hard rule, it is rather judgement call in this case.

<bruce_bailey> Since I worked there, I can confidently say that this ED document closely informed the 1999 Proposed Rule for the first set of 508 standards.

<bruce_bailey> +1 to say that I think it would be good for WCAG 1.0 to be designated as obsolete

<Glenda> +1 to marking at Obselete (becasue we do not recomment the use of WCAG 1.0 today)

<laura> +1

+1

<Kathy> +1

<Rachael> +1 to making it obsolete

<marcjohlic> +1

<Greg> +1 to mark WCAG 1.0 as obsolete

<kirkwood> +1

<gowerm> +1

jf: as a due diligence, I would take one or two more week to consult more info - W3C EO institutional info, Judy the director although I generally agree with marking obsolete.

<JF> +1 to taht AWK

awk: michael will check with judy

and send CFC

RESOLUTION: Michael will check with Judy and we will send the CFC after that about whether to obsolete WCAG 1.0

after that

Techniques needing work/review

awk: we need people to engage/help with techniques
... any questions regarding techniques?

<AWK> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3ATechniques

mg: some of them are ready

role log and role status

awk: if you start working on new technique, let me know so that mark it accordingly
... good news is that pdf association would like to help

with techniques

awk: we will help pdf association to get familiarized regarding the process and presentation(the way to write). more things to come.
... we will review some next week.

<AWK> Best ones to focus on for this week: 435, 432, 417, 386

Reviewing open issues - https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/433

<AWK> https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/F87.html

awk: Failure technique F87 contradicts the Accessible name and desc algorithm

<laura> From F87’s Desciption: “For users who need to customize or turn off style information in order to view content according to their needs, assistive technologies may not be able to access the information that is inserted using CSS.”

awk: any thought?

mg: I would not up for removing it.

laura: I agree with gowerm

<JF> +1 to Mike

gowerm: case of CSS :before and :after pseudo classes
... just using these classes is not failure but the way they are used for AT can be a failure.

<gowerm> F87: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.1 due to inserting non-decorative content by using :before and :after pseudo-elements and the 'content' property in CSS

<Greg> ...does not include generated content when exporting via Save As or the clipboard, the result may be unusable. The problem here is that UA strip out this critical information when exporting.

<Zakim> Greg, you wanted to say Don't forget the issue of people who need to export in order to process content with assistive technology. Let’s take the example of a page that uses CSS

gowerm: some qualification and cautionary mechanism needed for using these pseudo classes.

<Greg> Let’s take the example of a page that uses CSS generated content to add numbers to list items. If this styling is disabled, and the user’s ability to navigate and communicate about it suffers. If someone needs to export the content in order to run it through AT, and the UA does not include generated content when exporting via Save As or the clipboard, the result may be unusuable. The...

<Greg> ...problem...

<Greg> ...here is that UA strip out this critical information when exporting.

<gowerm> +1 for LVTF

laura: I would bring low vision task force to this issue.

to get their opinion

<Greg> I don't feel we should lightly remove protection for people who need to export content in order to use external accessibility aid.

<AWK> Question to Greg - how do we collect enough information about the wide range of use cases where people might need to export information from a page and would be affected by removing this failure, F87?

greg: we have a difficulty to track of different technologies... I generally tend to consider the expenses .. I lean to leaving the caution.

<gowerm> scribe: gowerm

Brooks: I took myself off cue because I think Greg's use case is one I hadn't thought of, and we need to give it more consideration.
... If this is going to be a deal breaker for some users, we should be cautious; otherwise if the AT has caught up with this method we should align.

<AWK> Gower: We have the failure examples, we should check out whether these are actually supporting these.

<Zakim> gowerm, you wanted to say that the example with the screenplay would be much more error proof if the class was used to HIDE the speaker name, rather than to insert it

AWK: The next step is Laura is going to share with LVTF and Alastair and I will share with COGA and see if they have additional use cases.

RESOLUTION: Leave open for input from LVTF and COGA.

RESOLUTION: leave open for input from LVTF and COGA

Process discussion and feedback collection reminder https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2018JulSep/0131.html

Reviewing open issues - https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/425

AWK: My understanding is that we did not mark this up for markup language but made it dependent on whether the technology could communicate the input purposes.
... So if PDF developed that, the onus would be on the PDF author. Since it doesn't exist, it is easy to say 'you don't have to do this' and we can clarify in the Understanding doc.

JF: I agree, and the Understanding document is not very clear.
... In the wild, people are seeing this as saying 'Use autocomplete'. We are working on listing other ways to meet this. It is not just for markup languages.

AWK: Mike Gower, that seems to align with your comment.

gowerm: yep

AWK: Anyone disagree with this basic read? If not we just need to get better language in 1.3.5.

JF: I'm happy to take that on. I'll also review 1.3.6 to ensure that it is in alignment with 1.3.5 as well

RESOLUTION: Leave open and JF to investigate and update Understanding.

AWK: I will put in a comment in the issue to indicate this and label it.

Reviewing open issues - https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/420

AWK: Now we get to debate the proper spelling of "dismissible".

<JF> @Michael Cooper - does the W3C have an "official" dictionary used for TR's?

<jemma> no objection

<JF> no objectioon

RESOLUTION: Accept issue 420 as editorial errata

AWK: In the time you get back, I would encourage folks to look through the techniques

trackbox, end meeting

trackbot, end meeting
