[Meaty topic for next week](https://bit.ly/2QqpnyL)

stefann: added deep dive issue

jn: please add deep dive label to the issue, Stefa

the role description discussion by Stefan will be three weeks time frame

<jcraig> May 6th

data visualization will be next topic for deep dive session

[Consider deleting aria-dropeffect and aria-grabbed](https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1447)

aria channel for deep dive is #aria-dive

jn: waiting for Bryan to join the discussion since brayn implemented this effectively

<msumner> I have a codepen demo of this: https://codepen.io/melsumner/pen/rLEvdX

brayn: talking about list box behavior example

jc: "support" is loaded term here

drag is more of both select and drop, not one action

jc: the reason for deprecation was that there are not enough support
… aria grabbed with keyboard command can be working but the test work cannot be generalized and universal

jn: we used to use live region for the drag...

jc: The path may be to fix HTML drag and drop. Once we're able to get enough out of that API to make it accessible, we'll be better informed to redesign any necessary ARIA API.

jn: do not hear no great desire to drop it.

Car: I can close it for now/

jn: Carolyn will add comment on what the future plan is when she close the issue

[Suggested simplification](https://github.com/w3c/accname/issues/96)

https://github.com/w3c/accname/issues/96

jn: We need review for the issue

group is talking about the way to reference each spec flexibly.

options are adding editor's note, fixing the numbering and so on.

jn: one option will be name reference

jc: bulleted list of headings be helpful?

bryan: we can name it based on section is meant to be - each step after aria label and so on...

[Add role=image as synonym for role=img](https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1370)

scott: it is ready for the review and connected to the issue of role="none"
… curious about whether I need to add presentation to the table or revised the javascript

good first issue for JamesN

scott: two role definition can be within the sae heading, it would be great but it will break the spec.

jc: We might consider using rel=synonym (and suggest ReSpec or Bikeshed support it) and to link each other.

jn: we are moving out of Respec
… currently work on definition before the migration

jn: I can investigate the solution

scott: PR is ready for word smithing

jn: example is presentaion and none
… in which order do we link the synonym?
… none or presentation first?

jc: we can consider "backward (historical) compatibility" for the order

Cyn: should someone make a one up for the issue to witch them around?

jn: good idea

car: adding the depreciatation date will be helpful to users
… as the part of intent note.

<jamesn> fyi i have a branch for presentation and none https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/jnurthen/presentationtonone/index.html#presentation

jc: there is a challenge for adding specific depreciate date due to specific work flow. - drag and drop example. but we can consider in the future.
… we can keep those info until we have fall back info.

scott: I createed the issue 1456 from this discussion

[1.3 triage](https://bit.ly/3wVub07)

#1203

jn: it is not feasible to implement within 1.3 timeline
… we move to 1.4

jn: I will go through and pull out of this extra labeling stuff.

#1219

https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1219

Name from author on column header & structural relationships

scott: I will look at this.

https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1228

jn: we can move this to 1.4

https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1236

Processing of the role attribute not clearly defined #1236

<jcraig> Am I correct in thinking image role hasn't yet landed in Editor's draft? I only see img. https://w3c.github.io/aria/#img Was trying to file the WK tracker.

<pkra> gotta run. see you next week.

james craig will review and add comments

https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1255

aria-hidden error case: remove attribute aria-hidden=true on elements that become focused, and any ancestor of the element that is currently focused. #1255

it will be assigned to Irfan

jc: can we potentailly point body type element, not html root element when Irfan works on the issue?
… the issue was that disallow are hidden are bascially ignore our hidden on the root element at some point in the past in webkit
… we have to make sure we only do it on the top level document.

scott: it is a good point. my only concern is that just making sure that we don't bascially say that nested documents can be set to already hidden equals true.

jn: that is interesting. I don't think it should be allowed on the body element itself.

jc: to your pint about nested documents, it is right as JamesN said in an iframe or something like a shadow root. Aria-hiden attribute can be used effectively in that case.

irfan: Scott, would you like to discuss that with me at some point of time?

Scott: yes.
