a song as demo :)
19:52:34 [rscano]
for a training :)
19:52:50 [rscano]
I wanna make the song captioning in italian and english
19:53:00 [rscano]
for show that it is useful not only for deaf people
19:53:02 [rscano]
;-)
19:53:17 [wendy]
cool
19:53:51 [wendy]
wendy has changed the topic to: "+1 617.761.6200 passcode 9224"
19:53:57 [rscano]
i've discovered also that the best solution for deaf people with low vision is Windows Media + SAMI instead of QuickTime with SMIL 1.0

hi rellero
19:54:08 [rellero]
Hi
19:54:15 [wendy]
why is WM+sami better for low vision?
19:54:52 [rscano]
because it let to put the captioned text in a DIV
19:55:04 [wendy]
you can't do that w/smil?
19:55:06 [rscano]
and you can put the text with relative dimensions
19:55:14 [rscano]
Windows Media don't support well SMIL :)
19:55:39 [rscano]
and Real / QT don't let to resize fonts during execution as an object in a page
19:55:40 [wendy]
roberto - how about working on smil techniques for wcag 2.0?
19:55:50 [wendy]
:)
19:55:52 [rscano]
ok... but not only me :)
19:56:06 [wendy]
sounds like part of the issue is ensuring the media players implement UAAG
19:56:14 [rscano]
yes
19:56:22 [rscano]
it's a topic that I've put in my book
19:56:35 [wendy]
it sounds like it is not the smil dtd, but the user agent implementation.
19:56:42 [rscano]
yep
19:56:48 [rscano]
I will tell to Ian
19:56:51 [rscano]
Jacobs
19:56:55 [wendy]
whew. i was going to be concerned if smil had issues.
19:57:05 [wendy]
actually, tell matt may. he's the staff contact of UAWG.
19:57:08 [rscano]
but I check with SMIL ;-)
19:57:09 [rscano]
ah ok
19:57:25 [wendy]
if there are issues with SMIL, those should also go to Matt as he is also the staff contact for PFWG. :)

Q+
20:10:11 [wendy]
agree with jason. could note lists with dashes and that would not be appropriate.
20:10:22 [wendy]
it is not a great cost to authors (wrt freedom of expression)
20:10:40 [wendy]
only question, legacy question. that's a scoping issue (as ben discussed in his post)
20:10:47 [wendy]

20:11:08 [wendy]
we talked about scoping. w/email archives, easy to say they don't conform w/out talking about rest of site.
20:11:18 [wendy]
don't expect a lot of email markup in the archives.
20:11:24 [wendy]
what is programmatically determined mean?
20:11:30 [wendy]
short term: need to mark things up
20:11:55 [MattNYC]
MattNYC has joined #wai-wcag
20:11:55 [wendy]
long term: if a simple algorithm and tools that would add simple markup, then could be programmatically determined.
20:12:07 [wendy]
concern w/"e.g. data list" if that implies more than we need to.
20:12:15 [sh1mmer]

Q+
20:13:09 [wendy]
perhaps authors do things consistently, but infer meaning can produce erroneous results.
20:13:23 [wendy]
can not take flat text and programmatically determine it. won't be correct 100% of the time.
20:13:39 [wendy]
if use lists as lists, it will be interpreted correctly 100% of the time.
20:13:40 [wendy]
ack john
20:13:52 [wendy]
question of relationship between guidelines and techniques and checklists.
20:14:15 [wendy]
the guideline is right as it is. the tech-specific could say, "for now, markup has to be there."
20:14:27 [wendy]
if later on there are tools, then we can revise the checklists (whether they are normative or not)
20:14:56 [wendy]

q+
20:15:23 [wendy]
other things that violate 1.1, character set identification...
20:15:45 [wendy]
text files are going to fail in a number of places. probably a matter of scoping them out so they cover more than one guideline.
20:15:49 [wendy]
scoping out is way i would do it.
20:16:09 [wendy]
suspect that if go through verion 1.0, the same examples would fail there, too. nothing specific to 2.0 document.
20:16:10 [wendy]
ack gvan
20:16:26 [wendy]
we often point out "bold if not marked up could be missed" however, that's true of all users.
20:16:42 [wendy]
if bold means strong in one place and something else someplace else how does person w/sight know the difference.

agree with Wendy
20:17:54 [rscano]
think also about forums...
20:18:19 [bengt]

"within" or "of and within"
20:26:10 [wendy]
"structs and relationships within the content..."

content is not a single page.

20:26:57 [wendy]
"can be derived programattically" sounds like putting burden on user and not author.

put burden of identifying on the author. one solution might be, "struture and relationships in content are identified in way that can be dervied programmatically"

concern about shift of burden to the author.
20:33:42 [wendy]
important that if it can be derived programmatically, if downstream software can derive it, that should satisfy it.
20:34:01 [wendy]
if the text is worded so that it creates more of a requirement, even if it can be derived w/out that.
20:34:04 [wendy]
then requiring too much.

"any web app that generate web content" :)

you cannot programmatically derive plain text across multiple ways plain texts has been formats to imply content
21:09:39 [bengt]
some lists har formatting rules builtin to their input mechanisms

the summary were html and text specific. assuming we are talking about document rendered on the screen.

if the browser suddenly spoke something louder, then must have been markup to tell it to do that.

use good semantics. author needs to be clear what means and what intent is.

could be specific ways to make prog. identifiable that have nothing to do w/presentation.
21:21:05 [wendy]
whatever the viz presentation is, is available elsewhere.

need semantics that may not be in viz presentation.
