May be covered by 2.4 - low priority note: doesnt apply to this success criteria. 14:28:22 bgsound, autoplay - High Priority around the practice. 14:29:57 Using foreground and background colors - high priority to work on. 14:31:26 onclick as mechanism to get focus - low priority or drop. 14:32:13 tabindex, though user agent issues - High priority. 14:33:01 Anchors on image buttons - high priority. 14:33:48 Redundant links for server-side image maps - low priority. Move into appendix 14:35:04 Use of to allow keyboard navigation - Not sure what techinque is - is that a way of saying use client image maps? - If so, we already have a techinque for this. - remove technique. 14:36:19 Meta-refresh technique - we already have technique. 14:37:44 Foreground/background issues - Should be general technique - Move to general - high priority as a general technique. 14:39:40 and - low priority. take the existing ones. 14:40:11 Header elements - move to 1.3, it's already there. 14:40:38 Lists and groups of links - high priority. 14:42:34 onclick event handlers that take you to another page - high priority. Mark as possible script as well for cross reference. 14:43:33 Autosubmit combo boxes - should be included - high priority. 14:43:42 and it relates to scripts 14:44:07 Table of contents - general technique - medium priority at best maybe low. 14:45:48 Revise HTML 9.7 to be more general? - low priority. 14:46:01 Ideally, using
would help - low priority. 14:46:38 Headers - repeated under passing blocks of content - low priority. 14:46:54 Tables - low priority. really low? 14:47:09 note: not encouraged 14:48:18 Use spacer gif in link text so that it is not visible where alt for spacer gif gives additional clarification - becky: put it pretty low. Ben: we might want to talk about it. Maybe give it a medium priority. 14:50:11 there is some discussion on this, we may want to move this to high priority. Becky: We may want to propose this as a new techinque. 14:50:55 discuss title vs alt as a new techinque - high priority. 14:51:02 still medium on spacer gif. 14:52:54 For image maps, area element should exist in source code in reasonable order - David: is reasonable measurable? This may be a useful thing, but would be at mediom at best. 14:54:15 HTML forms, if multiple submit buttons, be sure the first one is the one you want to be default - becky: Medium to high priority. Not sure how to write the technique. 14:54:20 call it medium 14:55:14 Use of element - existing 14:56:52 Text directionality - High priority 14:57:43 Use of meta tag with content-language - not lang attr - don't know if supported - Michael proposes medium - it needs investigation. 14:59:00 What to do if specify more than one language in header? - low priority. 15:00:40 - Medium Priority 15:02:04 Definition lists - kill. 15:02:51 Need an alternative to "target" since not allowed in strict HTML - high priority 15:04:31 Need an alternative to "target" since not allowed in strict HTML - High Priority. The violation of this is happening more and more. It is going to be a more of an issue with Ajax. 15:05:32 On leaving a data field - Kinda High Priority. 15:05:59 two techniques, more script then html and it's hight 15:06:31 Use links to cause page to refresh instead of automatic refresh - Medium 15:07:20 noframes, noscript - under 4.2 providing fall backs if outside your base line - David: high priority if not in base line. We do have techniques. 15:09:54 Fallback mechanism for applets (if applet not in baseline) need alternative mechanism for functionality - sounds like a general technique - this is saying you need functional fallback. Michael: this is hight priority. Becky: do you need a link to another page? It does effect the success of the base line. High Priority. Not sure where it goes, we do need to say something. David says maybe in HTML. 15:10:52 Label element for most controls, alt for image input, value for most buttons, text for button element - Existing may need to add one or two things. 15:11:33 "Creating Invisible labels for form elements" is mapped here. Should remap to L1SC4 - in css - controversial - existing in css 15:12:04 I can hear good 15:12:28 scribe: David_MacDonald 15:13:06 thanks for scribing don! 15:14:38 Using images as list item bullets (removed?)

Presentation style (3.1 L3 SC5) - low 15:37:19 CSS inherit w/inherit property children will accept computed value of parent (3.2 L1 SC1) - medium - if you do it things will be more consistency 15:39:07 # CSS about indenting text. Not properly mapped.
