New Issue Triage

ARIA 1844,

not a required owned element per JAws test

scotto: not a required element, sarah's pr make alleviate

wilcos other issue fall under same bucket

scotto: will respond

aam 445

special description computation

scotto: get on agenda

related to updated score accname desc

special conditions for html elements, name becomes description

why do these elements get special treatment?

New PR Triage

pkra: how shall we treat issues with updates?

look at issues with updates, the token thing, could be deep dive, editors meeting

spectranaut: plus the issue

Pr aam 15

updates on mappings

reviewers?

html aam 444

further alignment w/accname desc updates

scotto: did second PR to align with core aam description PR

we should be able to merge them, this one and updated core aam pr

aam 443

reference to placeholder in naming comp

it should be html aam 443

jcraig: draft pr

spectranaut: no way to end up back in our triage agenda

jcraig: how do you take it out of the new pr triage

spectranaut: it just looks for new prs

jcraig: its fine to leave it on list

pkra: updated prs

as a secondary step

Deep Dive planning

pkra: flow to discussion

spectranaut: next week?

conflicts ....

sheduling

alt time 4pm pacific?

jcraig: can do next week

pkra: midnight for peter

jcraig: 12/8 normal time?

scotto: it has been this way for a while

scotto: flow to 12/8

ARIAMixin and ElementInternals

spectranaut: can anyone introduce this?

jcraig: additions with IDL in ARIA spec

spectranaut: not a lot to discuss

pkra: theres going to be work on the week of 12/7

in the other issue matrix chatlog

cyn aom meeting this afternoon

short notice

putting on pending agenda items

scotto: per domonics comment in html issue, there doesn't seem to be a spec that identifies how aria checked different states values be mapped

done in aria, html aam , core aam,

jcraig: have to look into possible a resuable pattern referenced from html

stream reflection, token list

enumerables

prefer no specific processing markup algo

rather in a broader spec like html

Define how custom elements are exposed to AT

spectranaut: similar, also from anna

scotto: i don't think it belongs in accname

either aria issue or html aam or core aam

comes down to how the other issue is resolved

cyn scheduling sync with Anna

spectranaut: PR against accname for a month

PR 170 need reviewers

melsumner: working on it

some discussion about alignment, need more feedback

meeting later today

spectranaut: accname 170

jamesn: its a different thing

melsumner: bryan an i talked earlier made a list

jamesn: meeting is morphing

melsumner: need opinions for context

jamesn: if there is an agenda add it to the meeting

melsumner: weekly meeting to get a handle on what should be there and what we need opinions for

spectranaut: this could still be reviewed by other requested reviewers

deep dive on accname today

4pm

Support aria-description

updates from scott

scotto: context, there was original PR, went through html aam's description computation, previous PR simplified it, more alignment, took out the rows in the middle that called out specific html features replaced by a single row

svg aam, math aam ... will be included in the future

spectranaut: mel bryan time to take a closer look

melsumner: sounds good

1.3 blocking issues agendabot]

jamesn: definitely review ask what was intended

jamesn: looking at 6 blocking issues

1150, sarah put out an awesome gist

jamesn: is on me to resolve unless anyone else wants it

spectranaut: now is the time to take one from james

jamesn: will get to it sometime

1159, inconsistent use of 'hidden' valerie won't be able to get to it until testing is over

1161 inconsitent use of owned by 1161

jamesn: we discussed it

2 PRs

sarahs work makes this irrelevant, by PR for the required owned elements

to allow owned elements

scotto: most issues will become irrelevant

jamesn: they will be new issues

<jamesn> https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1177#issuecomment-1302322317

matt, close issue with no action?

matt asked for specific list of three changes are what people are expecting in a Pr

if we do one

scotto: also not sure I understand why this needs to be changed

that makes aria controls do what aria-expanded does

jamesn: matt, follow up with wilco and close

jamesn: give wilco a few weeks

matt, downstream work on user agent side

jamesn: benefits and costs

jamesn: changes of what roles ... could break the web

have path forward

leave it as it was

add editors notes

about naming correctly

work with devtools to flag

that they are doing error correction on accessible naming

rather than following the spec

cynthia, how do we get that done?

matt, we do not want the computed acc name in devtools include error correction

jamesn: it should be the same as exposed to a11y apis

matt would he awesome

cyn, happy to take that issue to devtools

assign to cyn

jamesn: or a new issue

is there a better method

cyn best way to start

jamesn: hoping we are happy maintaining status quo with editor docs

scotto: need to provide evidence that things dont actually break

matt, james you are going to right text

jamesn: yes, will make 1.3 is the same as 1.2

1824, presentation role conflict

all prohibited states and properties are also global

scotto: related topic

scotto: touching on, imgge, aria-label

or alt with text

setting role none presentation

should be treated as aria-hidden=true

meaningful text with role=none, presentation pruned it from a11y tree

is treating role=img as aria-hidden=true the same correct?

Matt_King: focused elements, it is error correction, mixed accessibility signal, do the least harm for user

I see why it is related

<melsumner> I really don't think we should auto-correct author errors, can we explore a console error?

Adam_Page: why role-none on the image?\

jcraig: author error

scotto: aria spec says it

guidance says its the same thing

siri: if you have aria label used on div and screen reader doesn't read it

why on div element

jamesn: authors must not

scotto: because authors. [will do it.]s are the answere

Matt_King: feels like same issue conflicting a11y signals

jamesn: if prohibited does that make it be global

it should still reverse presentational aspect

matt, we could write it but we should have for clarification in the presentation role section

none is already sooo complicated

jamesn: section to explain prohibited states and properties, still global for conflict resolution

matt include example

jamesn: they would be bad examples

jamesn: funky, should not be copied

scotto: makes sense

jamesn: conflict resolution is a mess

matt, involve normative user agent statements

<melsumner> it would be great to have a good example of code in our spec, and then say "note here's a weird edge case" but make it look like "hey you should avoid this"

scotto: will file issue

scotto: negate author issues

jcraig: added, a tag 'needs automated test'

whatever we decide, we should file a separae issue, great one to automate

jcraig: anything that relys on label or role computation can be tested

jamesn: is there documentation on how to write those tests

spectranaut: its the issue for writing tests in the accname repo

jamesn: use webdriver
