#1766

<Github> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1766 : add [CEReactions] to IDL.

jamesn: fixed xref html yesterday should be ready a soon as we get someone else to look at it

spectranaut: can talk to Alex but they are on vacation

jamesn: do custom elements make a difference to our spec?

jamesn: I believe it is not a problem

jamesn: #996 that Matt took on in march

<Github> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/996 : Initial aria-textseparation (depends on generic PR being merged)

matt king, the dialog popover stuff has been my focus

until I feel better about those I'm not going to work on this

we can see whether anything changes between now and TPac

any reason to push hard to make it a 1.3 thing?

let it slide, small consequences?

jamesn: face to face discussion

scotto: we also have other

PRs

to get around this

generic, block level

inline

everything is generic

CSS rendering decides it

jamesn: is it being rendered by CSS?

jamesn: ovveride?

render inline to render a word

matt, recommended to change divs to spans

matt could have also used textseparation

CSS is the root of the problem

creepy voice on jamesns computer

lol

pkra: ask the children

lol

<Github> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1127 : Clean up use of "may"

clean up use of 'may'

jamesn: do we care?

reassing to rfc 2119

jamesn: only an rfc keyword if it is uppercase

matt respec was automatically capitalizing

strings like 'SHOULD'

jamesn: we do this in our stuff

jamesn: 'may' if its uppercase otherwise its not

matt, you must type in in uppercase in the source to be normative

spectranaut: who are the editors?

jcraig: don't care

I DON'T CARE

close in uppercase lol

spectranaut: he has a point

matt from an editorial standpoint, be careful

not using the word 'should' unless normative

matt must, may and should

is confusing

jamesn: why?

Matt_King: in the spec we should be careful

Matt_King: not for merging this PR

Matt_King: we should not make this problem more prevelant

spectranaut: what is it like to read with SR?

Matt_King: will sometimes look for uppercase

pkra: can we punt it back to fix merge conflict?

spectranaut: assign to me

jamesn: look for new things that have been added

jamesn: hard to merge

spectranaut: this process of mult branches needs to be resolved

spectranaut: hard to understand normative and not

5 words

#1019

<Github> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1019 : Accessible name from caption

jamesn: should we close is this overcome by events?

scotto: I thinks so, sounds like we punted it not a bad idea

#1018

<Github> https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1018 : Issue899 accname from heading

scotto: same sort of thing

jamesn: jcraig suggested naming mechanism for articles

Matt_King: we struggled to figure how to make a predictable algo that would be useful

jcraig: we got a user report about this

jcraig: trying to be flexible in wording

jamesn: flexibility is .. a strong suggestion for the right thing to choose

jcraig: add myself to reviewers

jamesn: no label use first heading

scotto: just use first heading

jamesn: accessible name from heading

scotto: restart

not the PR to merge

jamesn: issue deserves more consideration

pkra: like original suggestion

put in a 'may'

let them do something

jcraig: maching learning is getting better then what we can spec
