13:49:04 [Ben]
Technologies can only be relied upon to conform to WCAG 2.0 if they are used in a way that is "accessibility supported."

The presence of a conforming alternative version does not effect the need to ensure compliance with each of the following for all content on the page, including content that is not relied on.
15:05:16 [Ben]
2nd sentence of conformance intro:
15:05:44 [Ben]
Finally, it describes what it means for to be accessibility-supported, since only accessibility-supported uses of technologies can be relied upon for conformance.

DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES AND ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES
22:22:58 [greggvanderheiden]
1.Picked a technology
22:22:59 [greggvanderheiden]
2.Picked uses that were challenging – looked hard
22:22:59 [greggvanderheiden]
3.Mapped uses against Success Criteria
22:23:00 [greggvanderheiden]
4.Made sure there was something for each success criteria (or aspect of the SC) where it was needed and possible.
22:23:01 [greggvanderheiden]
5.Wrote a statement of what I was trying to do
22:23:02 [greggvanderheiden]
6.Created implementations to do that
22:23:04 [greggvanderheiden]
7.Used API to screen for problems
22:23:06 [greggvanderheiden]
8.(throughout I sent in bug reports and got them fixed)
22:23:08 [greggvanderheiden]
a.With product team
22:23:10 [greggvanderheiden]
b.With AT vendor(s)
22:23:12 [greggvanderheiden]
9.Tested with AT that I have
22:23:14 [greggvanderheiden]
10.(throughout I sent in bug reports and got them fixed)
22:23:16 [greggvanderheiden]
a.With product team
22:23:17 [Zakim]
-Bengt_Farre
22:23:19 [greggvanderheiden]
b.With AT vendor(s)
22:23:20 [greggvanderheiden]
DOCUMENTING THE ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT ACROSS COMBINATIONS
22:23:22 [greggvanderheiden]
1.Took the techniques documented for the technology
22:23:24 [greggvanderheiden]
2.Broke out permutations where necessary
22:23:27 [greggvanderheiden]
3.Looked at all the features of the technology that related to user interface and would relate to accessibility
22:23:30 [greggvanderheiden]
a.(for programmatic language (script) look mostly at techniques to meet specific SC)
22:23:31 [greggvanderheiden]
4.Create test pages for each use
22:23:34 [greggvanderheiden]
5.Have different people test them with the AT/Platforms they have.
22:23:36 [greggvanderheiden]
6.Document combinations where they don't work and also situations (settings etc) where it works/not.
22:23:38 [greggvanderheiden]
WAYS OF DOCUMENTING ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT
22:23:39 [greggvanderheiden]
1.Queriable base of data
22:23:42 [greggvanderheiden]
2.Report
22:23:44 [greggvanderheiden]
WHAT IF YOU WANT TO USE A TECHNIQUE THAT IS NOT IN DOCUMENTATION
22:23:45 [greggvanderheiden]
1.Test the technique yourself across AT/Platform combinations
22:23:47 [greggvanderheiden]
2.Ask Technology Vendor (or AT vendors) to test it
22:23:50 [greggvanderheiden]
a.(and potentially submit it for documentation for others’ use)
22:23:51 [greggvanderheiden]
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO PUBLICLY DOCUMENT ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORT OF W3C TECHNOLOGIES?
22:23:54 [greggvanderheiden]
1.Listing of the “uses” of the technology
22:23:55 [greggvanderheiden]
a.Ideally it would cover all uses that relate to success criteria that are AT dependent.
22:23:57 [greggvanderheiden]
2.Creating tests implementations of each of the uses
22:24:00 [greggvanderheiden]
3.Testing each of the uses
22:24:02 [greggvanderheiden]
4.Providing the results including a listing of the Permutations of OS/UA/AT+ extensions tested
22:24:04 [greggvanderheiden]
5.Providing the samples of the ‘uses’ that were used for testing (e.g. web page with compiled sample of the use) (allows reproducibility).
22:24:07 [greggvanderheiden]
a.The test samples are designed to be suitable across other permutations (allows expanding of the support testing beyond what was done) – but not required
