  6. AG WG Comment: Issue 268 - Notes for all SC that "interprets pointer actions"

1. Public Comment: Issue 5 - Difference of Mobile OS usage(iOS, Android)

Read and understand the old public comment in Issue 5: Difference of Mobile OS usage(iOS, Android) - 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value

NOTE: The reference to 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value in the title and initial question is a red herring, as the issue is not really about that SC, but is about 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures, as the comment thread reveals.


Review the draft answer for issue 5.

2. Public Comment: Issue 6 - Does dragging blur platform and author considerations?

Read and understand the public comment in Issue 6 - Does dragging blur platform and author considerations?. This issue is closely related to the recent AG WG review comment for 2.5.7 Dragging Movements. The proposed WCAG2ICT change to address both issues is found in Issue 284 and the changes would apply to the 3 SC where the content "interprets pointer actions".

Once the above text is approved by the TF, I propose that the following answer is added to Issue 6 with a link to the guidance for the 3 SC where these notes apply. This would have to be done after we merge the notes into the WCAG2ICT editor's draft.


Proposed answer to Issue 6

Mike, you raise a good point regarding the need for a separation of responsibilities between the author, user agent, and platform software. WCAG2ICT has developed guidance for non-web contexts in the notes to address the concern. This same guidance is provided for other success criteria that also interpret pointer actions, namely 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures and 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation. The notes read:


NOTE: This requirement applies to [user agents and other software applications that interpret] pointer actions (i.e. this does not apply to actions that are required to operate the [underlying platform software] or assistive technology).

NOTE: This requirement also applies to [platform software] that interprets pointer actions. This does not apply to actions that are required to operate the assistive technology.
