Hi
20:11:54 [wendy]
yh before determine if level 1 or level 3, first need to decide what link text is
20:12:02 [wendy]
Scribe: Wendy Chisholm
20:12:50 [wendy]
yh what is the purpose? to help people who are blind or to help cog disabilities or both?
20:13:04 [wendy]
michael's notes from agenda: * Proposal from Techniques TF to make clear link text under guideline 3.2 a
20:13:04 [wendy]
level 1 - currently is level 3
20:13:04 [wendy]
* Possible it was level 3 because of ability to use "title" to clarify - but
20:13:04 [wendy]
unclear in UAAG how that should be handled; is not well handled in current
20:13:04 [wendy]
UA
20:13:05 [wendy]
* Discussion/questions on list about reasons this is important for different
20:13:07 [wendy]
people, but some feeling that it is in spite of feeling that it "shouldn't
20:13:09 [wendy]
be"
20:13:11 [wendy]
* Questions about how links used, e.g., for navigation, and whether we
20:13:13 [wendy]
should accommodate that

.. don't need to address link text but make the destination available
20:14:12 [GVAN]
Q+
20:14:24 [Yvette_Hoitink]
q+ to say "make destination available sounds like you have to have a href for a link"
20:14:28 [wendy]
.. at level 1, "available to asst. techs" could use 'title' to get info and not effect default presentation
20:14:36 [wendy]
.. at level 2, make default presentation clearer
20:15:00 [wendy]
.. if don't use phrase, "link text" in guidelines, then finesse the issue of addressing what link text is.
20:15:02 [wendy]

jw agree w/john that if we say anything about link destinations, then we need to say that they are avail. to asst. tech. concern about testability.
20:15:35 [wendy]
.. "clear" is as testable as "simple"
20:16:27 [wendy]
.. how to clarify what needs to be done to make it testable?
20:16:56 [wendy]
.. at level 3, certainly require something that is visible. at level 1 could make it more explicit about avail. to asst. tech.

20:27:04 [wendy]
how mark it up/

20:55:30 [wendy]
sp criticality is part of defn of level 1,2, 3?
20:55:48 [wendy]
Level 1 success criteria:
20:55:48 [wendy]
Achieve a minimum level of accessibility through markup, scripting, or other technologies that interact with user agents, including assistive technologies
20:55:48 [wendy]
Could be reasonably be applied to all Web resources
20:55:56 [wendy]
Level 2 success criteria:
20:55:56 [wendy]
Increase accessibility through either or both of the following:
20:55:56 [wendy]
additional facilitation of user agent based accessibility
20:55:56 [wendy]
content and/or presentation that provides direct accessibility without requiring the user or their user agent to do anything different from users without disabilities
20:55:56 [wendy]
Could be reasonably be applied to all Web resources.
20:56:00 [wendy]
Level 3 success criteria:
20:56:00 [wendy]
Go beyond Level 1 and 2 to increase direct and user agent enhanced accessibility
20:56:05 [wendy]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#conformance
20:56:38 [wendy]
sp whether an issue is critical for accessibility or not is not defined by a technique making it more or less accessible?
20:57:06 [wendy]
gv what goes in level 1, 2 or 3, not so mcuh defined by the defns but what we decide as a committee.
20:58:55 [wendy]
i.e., gv's interpretation is not the final word, but merely his interpretation of where he thinks we are.
20:59:22 [wendy]

Topic: [#827] Success criterion for separate content from presentation
21:08:58 [wendy]
Introduction by: Michael Cooper
21:08:58 [wendy]
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004AprJun/0721.html>
21:08:58 [wendy]
* Guideline 1.3 speaks to separation of content from presentation, but no
21:08:58 [wendy]
success criterion address that specifically. TTF would like to create
21:08:58 [wendy]
techniques but needs a SC.
21:09:00 [wendy]
* Concern that this would have effect of banning technologies that don't
21:09:01 [wendy]
provide mechanisms to do this
21:09:55 [wendy]
propose adding a success criterion "Presentation is implemented
21:09:55 [wendy]
separately from semantic structure." I suspect this should be a level 2 SC
21:09:55 [wendy]
but
21:09:55 [wendy]
possibly it should be level 1.
21:10:13 [wendy]
if that was a success criterion, then things w/outstyle sheets would fail.
21:10:19 [wendy]

21:11:07 [Yvette_Hoitink]
q+ to say "Wherever a choice between input device event handlers is available and supported"

q+ to say, "restyling - primarily contrast and magnification. primarily related to extracting text for restyling. doesn't make sense for gif but does for SVG, MathML, voicexml. should probably apply to InkML but not clear that it does now."
21:11:59 [wendy]
jw anything that meets 1.3 should meet this unless there is something in addition that needs to be spelled out.
21:12:41 [wendy]
jw if can retrieve the structure, then it can be separated from presentation.
21:13:29 [wendy]

lgr separating the two doesn't mean that you can change tteh presentation

21:15:52 [wendy]
ack yvette
21:16:14 [wendy]

... MathML, voicexml. should probably apply to InkML but not clear that it does now."
21:18:30 [wendy]
gv even if it did limit technolgoies, can always have something at level 3, "only use really accessible"
21:18:53 [wendy]
gv the same techs that can't support this, can they meet the other things that we do have?
21:19:10 [wendy]
current criteria:
21:19:19 [wendy]
level 1, #1 of 1.3: Structures and relationships within the content can be derived programmatically.
21:19:47 [wendy]
jw map presentation back to structure
21:20:37 [wendy]
gv can dervie programmaticaly, new one says "implement in certain way"
21:20:46 [wendy]
gv not what achieve, but how you can achieve
21:21:23 [wendy]
gv text and restyling. in 1.3, we're saying "you can get that content out" so the AT can represent it.
21:21:41 [wendy]
gv this is a tougher test b/c it is asking that you be able to attach to this that you can change it.
21:22:12 [wendy]
gv presentation is implemented in a fashion that it can be changed
21:22:22 [Yvette_Hoitink]
q+ to say "whether presentation can be changed is UA issue"
21:22:33 [wendy]
gv make sure we stick w/text so that we don't get mixed up with graphic representation
21:22:38 [DoyleB]
in wai glossary text is also defined as a representation of text (graphical) which probably cannot be changed. Just what Gregg said.

gv perhaps image for level 3, but perhaps charts or data for level 2
21:45:15 [cookiecrook]
clarification: i think the meaning was perception of color contrast based on sized rather than actual color of text. this is seperate from anti-aliasing

q+
21:50:01 [wendy]
gv if have letters made of pixels, they look jagged but if some pixels are grey instead of black, it will appear smoother.
21:50:32 [wendy]
gv problem is that if you took a contrast measure of the aliased pixel againts the background, there wn't be much contrast, although the character itself has good contrast.
21:50:51 [wendy]
mb character-smoothing won't effect text rendered by IE
21:51:26 [wendy]
mb do we consider the ant-alias pixel to be background? if so, does this guideline outlaw this?
21:51:37 [wendy]
gv will have to be clear about anti-alias pixels
