Review Action Items

Announcements

1. Register for User Agent face-to-face meeting in Boston on 1-2 March 2001

Discussion

1. Coordination of joint meetings with DOM and CSS
2. Issue 443: Checkpoint 1.4: Device indepdent access to pointer (mouse) specific events.
   Source: http://server.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear-lc2.html#443
   Status: The document currently requires emulation of mouse-specific controls by virtue of our requirement that the user must be able to do everything through the mouse.
   Discussion:
   a) Do we want to require the UA to repair device-specific bindings specified by the author?
   b) Do we have evidence that the ability to simulate mouse events through the keyboard benefits the user?
3. Definition Issues:
   1. Issue 359: Definition: text content (incompatible with WCAG?)
   2. Issue 358: Definition: Equivalent
   3. Issue 322: The definition of the word element
   4. Issue 321: Equivalency relationships and the wording of checkpoint 2.3
4. Issue 394: Checkpoint 2.1: Vague about what cannot be provided through a source view
