3. Corrections that MAY affect conformance, but add no new features
21:09:58 [Zakim]
+David_D

+??P38
21:10:47 [wendy]
paths to take to incorporate normatively: easiest is to edit the document and publish a revision.
21:11:05 [wendy]
get review of the revision (1 month review) and if agreement, then publish as WCAG 1.0 2nd edition.
21:11:19 [wendy]
people can continue to refer to older version.
21:11:38 [wendy]
called "proposed edited recommendation" - get review. if support, becomes new version.
21:12:00 [wendy]
possible to add something to the old version that says, "new version available"?
21:12:13 [Zakim]
+Gregg_Vanderheiden
21:12:28 [wendy]
a w3c policy to not modify published documents (archival state so important...) won't modify in place to say "new version available"
21:12:41 [wendy]
more recent documents, try to highlight fact that new ones might be available.

pros: less effort and time

7.6.4 Call for Review of Proposed Corrections
21:15:33 [wendy]
AB created compromise process in section 7.6.4 - WG calls for review of proposed corrections
21:15:44 [wendy]
if no objections after 4 weeks, they become normative.
21:15:48 [Zakim]

however, at some point have to integrate into spec.
21:16:39 [wendy]

21:18:22 [wendy]
yes. and be called WCAG 1.0 second revision.
21:18:43 [wendy]
would not replace the old version but become the new latest version and say "this doc supercedes the 1999 draft..."

theoretically, we could publish WCAG 2.0 as WCAG 1.0 revision 2 with 1 month review?

until user agents would be deletions. is that acceptable?
21:22:50 [wendy]
deprecations rather than deletions?
21:23:10 [wendy]
they are not new features. process is largely geared towards protocol and format specs.
21:23:33 [wendy]
seem to be a change that does effect conformance.
21:23:45 [wendy]
could bring non-conforming documents conformant or conforming docs non-conformant.

thx yvette!
21:25:57 [Yvette]
no problem
21:26:30 [wendy]
in uaag had links to pdf and other version. at time of rec, got rid of them b/c took time to produce. offer that in revision, don't link to them.
21:26:38 [wendy]
create and link to them from someplace else.
21:26:50 [wendy]
e.g., uaag faq, "is there a pdf version" "yes, here"

worried that already sliding down slope of putting a lot of work in WCAG 1.0, would like WCAG 2.0 to finish.
21:30:53 [wendy]
revised version help with harmonization?
21:31:13 [wendy]
techniques can help clarify some of the issues with WCAG 1.0.
21:31:16 [rscano]
i think so
21:31:42 [wendy]
take a conservative approach, fix significant typos and errors, until user agent clauses if necessary.
21:32:03 [wendy]
(if we are to take this path, should be very limited in scope, type, and tightly managed so as not to jeopardize work on WCAG 2.0)

techniques will change conformance. not so much does it effect, but could become conformant or not based on techniques.

21:57:22 [wendy]
not all issues discussed on the list are in bugzilla. also, public comments were about june draft.
21:57:34 [wendy]
many bugzilla comments point to a thread in the mail archives, should follow that thread for more comments.
21:57:55 [wendy]
therefore, good to go through bugzilla first since reviewers picked up most of issues, but to be thorough, helpful to go through archives.
