<scribe> Meeting: HTML-A11Y telecon

<scribe> Scribe: John_Foliot

<scribe> agenda: this

<janina> trackbot start meeting

janina, I've already loaded the conference

'it's all ready

<janina> Hey, John! Big tech problems here today!

<janina> Looks like #12 belongs to #11
Paused Media: Exploring the Optimal User Experience Texted

<silvia> frankolivier: we are currently discussing the state of navigation
- do you want to join

<frankolivier> OMW - finishing up another meeting
Descriptions: User Requirements Discussion Hierarchical

FO: the concept of using lists seems simple enough

SF 1st level navigation have cue points with chapters

in the spec we already have chapters, and they are defined as having cues
as navigation points, but we were looking at how to add multi-level
navigation

which in HTML is typically done with lists

so using a<ul> that starts at the chapter cues

SH if something has a sub-time stamp, a duration that starts and ends
inside of the cue, then it is a child point

JS: this could go down to 6 levels?

SH: as many as you like

with this we need to get more agreement on what the HTML should look like
if we come up with something new

<silvia>
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Navigation#Example_markup_with_3_
hierarchical_levels

SP: agree, we already have navigation mechanism tools, we should build
upon them
... have done a markup example to show how this might look like

FO: one cue opject for every first level chapter, and then for writing nav
custom controls would need to parse the other levels as well

SP: it would be rendered into the shadow DOM

jusing JS you would probably need an HTML fragment parser

FO: 2 problems to solve, give the screen reader some insight of what the
various objects are in the queue

for web devs who want to develop their own controls, they will need to do
the parsing themselves

SP: they would create the snippet (list) themselves, and then hand that to
the mutable text track creation, it gets handled as any other regular
track file

FO: the question is more around when user is not using a screen reader

let's say you want to show the full index of multi-levels on the side of
the video region

getting the first level Chapters is pretty easy, but parsing the other
levels is more complex

FO: it's awkward to have the first level exposed in one way, and the other
levels exposed at another way

+Q

(discussion of how screen readers deal with navigation)

Frank will develop some code examples, and janina will invite the Daisy
folk to help us review

FO; I s multi-level navigation an absolute requirement?

(JF and janina echo yes at the same time)

JS: We need to ensure that the spec is able to support these
user-requirements, we've not discussed implementation details

WCAG Guideline 2.4 "Navigable"
http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/navigation-mechanisms.html

1.3.1 Info and Relationships: Information, structure, and relationships
conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are
available in text. (Level A)

http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#content-structure-separatio
n

1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence: When the sequence in which content is presented
affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence can be programmatically
determined. (Level A)

+Q
Paused Media: Exploring the Optimal User Experience Texted

<silvia> I've not given up on aria-describedby, but I think at this point
we will get nowhere unless we do an implementation and prove it one way or
the other
Navigation: Progress Checkin Actions Review zakim, drop
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/track/actions/open

discussion of perhaps usiing meta-data file for specifying multiple images
"stills" (chapter points)

JS: a few weeks back, we discussied the longer text description and the
video is paused, we were trying to figure out how this was processed

SP: it depends on the screen reader user, so we need to let the end-user
decide

so we almost need to think of *all* extended descriptions as potentiallly
going beyond fixed time-lines

so Silvia has taken this to the iAccessible list, and it is under
discussion there

from HTML however everything else is in place

JS: agree, after that it is user-agent behavior
