Logistics (Regrets, agenda requests, comments)?
KF: I'm still waiting for JB to make me offical...
... JA is asking me to be more active in running meetings
Consensus on alt
http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/XTech/HTML5/TextAlternativeProposal
JS: I have extended the attendance survey
KF: We started on the alt concensus - overall WAI feedback to HTML5
... What feedback do we have? SHould figure it out today
... Any thoughts
JS: I like what you were saying Kelly about it being too complicated
... I've been asking people about that
MH: Question...has this doc been sent to HTML5 yet?
KF: My understanding...it has not been sent yet
... WAI-CG asking for WAI feedback first
JR: KF is correct
KF: So do we think we can stand behind this?
JR: Not perfect but I can stand behind it
MH: bottom line?
JR,JS: Some form of alt is required
JR: But still may not meet HTML5's hope for validity without alt
MH: Bug me: absence of something is said to be indicator of the image
... I'd like to see role required to resoundingly say image is an image
<jeanne> JR: It was a difficult discussion because some said that
whatever we did had to be backwards compatible. If we made "role"
required, it would break every image on the Web.
MH: Understood
<jeanne> JR: The absence of a value for alt was the crux of the problem,
that there wasn't a way to show whether it was missing from being
ignored or whether it was a decorative image
KF: My perspective...assuming a lot of intelligent people...but I'm not
comfortable
... IN HTML4 I know what I have to do
... For accessibility
... I would be ok with 1) use alt="meaningful" and 2) use
role="presentation" along with alt=""
MH: I'd support that
KF: clarify 2) is a warning
<jeanne> JR: alt is still required, and if alt="" then also use role =
"presentation"
<jeanne> JR: alt="" cannot have two means - 1) I want validity and don't
care about accessibility OR 2) I care about accessibiliy and this image
is decorative.
<jeanne> KF: I have a concern that role="presentation" may be removed
from the DOM and lost.
KF: There is concern with role=presentation
... We could take this up later
<jeanne> KF: We can take that up as part of ARIA last call discussion.
JR: Points out the need for repetitive alt if author wants to use
labelled-by
KF: That's my concern...going to aria forces users to have latest and
greatest
JA: Process for commenting?
JR: Indiv or group.
JA: Suggestions wanted?
JR: Yes
JA: Ofk so could we vote on UA proposals next week
KF: Two actions 1) communicate to CG - we do not have concensus, we will
be looking at alternatives
... One alternative could be not concensus form UAAG
... We owe them a mail before wed. that KF will do

KF: Other thoughts

... How much ARIA support
KF: Firefox, IE8, Safari, not sure about Opera
... HTML5 itslef...bits and pieces in all browsers
CSUN Discussion
KF: Most of JA's thoughts in post
JA: Henny wanted to know where slides are?
JS: I could send PDF to group then figure out how to post
JA: Thought presentation went well
... Tough week for me, but went well - got thoughts across
... Heard some people say "onerous"...but not constructive...
... But maybe we can have another drfat out by end of May
KF: Anyone we should target for recruitment?
JS: I had a lot of followup
... Mentions Microsoft, Mozilla, NVDA, Apple
... Also spoke with someone who was on TEITAC
JA: I got some other contacts
KF: Anything we can do to recruit them would be great.
Survey Results http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20090223/
KF: Let's leave survey to next week
Web security last call http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-wsc-ui-20090226/
KF: Jim sent some thoughts.
JA: I just thought there were a bunch of concepts we could
use..."primary, secondary interfaces"...
... Couple things to communicate to web security people...they should
reference UAAG as well as just WCAG
... Other than that, just some definitional concerns
... One was level of alerts
... e.g., Caution alrets, danger alerts....how to communicate these
KF: Sounds good
JA: I think we can use this to make our GL better and give them some
stuff too

KF: THing to note is that we did release a draft...any feedback yet?
JS: Not sure
KF: please evangelize this draft...blogs...social networking etc.
... UAAG still important...we need to get the word out
... We need to succeed
JS: Agree+much greater interest than in the past
... No feedback yet
