Rule review - Link has accessible name: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTLinkHasName/results

WF: comment from Charu
... maybe add inapplicable example?
... is that a blocker?

CP: not a blocker but clarifies

WF: current support for title attribute?
... pretty confident it works in most modern ATs

CP: do we have an example?

WF: in one of the recent ones approved by AGWG

<Wilco> https://act-rules.github.io/rules/59796f#accessibility-support

WF: can use the same approach for the accessibility support note
... actually in all the accessible name rules

CP: yes
... also not a blocker

WF: comment from Kasper
... think we discussed that
... if I remember correctly, said it is not a blocker
... being worked on
... Kathy points out the issue

MJM: think it should be fixed

SAZ: I agree with MJM
... concerned about losing credibility
... would prefer to be a little slower and more accurate at this initial stage

WF: think such issues will always crop up
... think more differences will come from differences in AT support
... or other aspects

TB: think this hardly occurs in the wild

SAZ: ok if really super edge case
... but generally strongly urge to credibility

TB: think it generally falls under the category "someone wants to break the rule"

WF: have another blocker
... examples with broken images
... should not be the case
... need proper images
... talked about Kathy's comment last week
... agreed it is under 4.1.1, even though the prefered one is 2.4.4
... conclusion, at least images issue needs to be addressed

Rule review - Orientation of the page is not restricted using CSS transform property https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/93339/ACTORIENTATION/results

TB: sentence structure too complex

WF: see your point, was a difficult one to write
... may be a way to split it out

TB: simple fix to include the code in the example

WF: agree, can do that

TB: need to include code from external stylesheet
... or add an explanation

WF: comment from Patrick
... rule still not wrong, just doesn't catch everything

SAZ: if any value that is not-null would be WCAG violation

WF: but if 85%, something odd is going on
... by using 90% we are reducing the uncertainty
... resulting from the assumption

SAZ: makes sense
... maybe explain that in the assumption?

WF: yes, can do that
... second comment from Patrick
... makes sense, can add that example
... conclusion, potentially some more work on this one too
... survey open for another week
... just though of an issue
... an example of a page forcing content to be viewed in a specific orientation
... Charu, can you take the orientation rule?

CP: yes but need more guidance

WF: relay back the comments as issue

MJM: you can see examples of other such issues raised

CP: ok

publication of 5 new rules

WF: pull request ready

SAZ: in my court
... preparing announcements
... will forward here as soon as published

MJM: there were some comments from AGWG

WF: all resolved

<Wilco> https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1220

MJM: will cleanup tracking table

Silver discussion

WF: talked about this two weeks ago
... conclusion was that Silver/WCAG 3.0 may be too high-level for ACT work to be relevant
... big gap where they are right now and our work
... need that gap bridged

MJM: normative and non-normative discussion also relevant here
... design lets many doors wide open in my view
