18:18:47 [sharper]
JA: Now seem to be re-drifting - wondering if we have a set of phrases... etc
18:19:30 [sharper]
JS: Start with Action Verb - if there is an if clause - put that before Action verb - no decision on 'handles' / sort titles.
18:19:45 [sharper]
MH: Nothing concrete on this.
18:20:50 [sharper]
JA: Let's use JS's suggestion...'Start with Action Verb - if there is an if clause - put that before Action verb'
18:22:11 [sharper]
RESOLVED: Start with Action Verb - if there is an IF-Clause - put that before the Action Verb
18:23:16 [sharper]

18:25:33 [sharper]
When composing a definition for something which you are gathering spec, it is necessary that the deffinition fit the spec. For instance, if you are going to call AT a user agent, the AT must meet the spec or the spec must be written such that it takes the AT unto account. I would think that this would be problematic in instances say where you try to use firefox with the mac os and while the AT for the Mac with Safari might meet the spec, It would not meet the
18:31:38 [AllanJ]
user agent definition: A user agent is any software that retrieves and presents Web content for end users. Examples include Web browsers, media players, plug-ins, and other programs including assistive technologies, that help in retrieving, rendering and interacting with Web content.
18:33:41 [sharper]
JA: Could we remove AT from the definition?
18:33:49 [sharper]
JA: Does it hurt?
18:36:41 [AllanJ]
SH: the first line is clear. the second line seems to contradict. AT does not do that.
18:39:12 [AllanJ]
A user agent is any software that retrieves and presents Web content for end users. Examples include Web browsers, media players, plug-ins, and other programs that facilitate the retrieving, rendering and interacting with Web content.
18:39:42 [AllanJ]
JS: remove the second sentence
18:42:04 [AllanJ]
A user agent is any software that retrieves, renders and facilitates interaction with Web content for end users. Examples include Web browsers, media players, plug-ins, extensions, and
18:42:06 [AllanJ]
web applications.
18:44:20 [jeanne]
action: Jeanne to put the new phrasing of User Agent into next week's survey.

18:46:16 [AllanJ]
ATAG and WCAG reference the original UAAG def ... A user agent is any software that retrieves and presents Web content for end users. Examples include Web browsers, media players, plug-ins, and other programs including assistive technologies, that help in retrieving, rendering and interacting with Web content.

19:07:53 [sharper]
JA: 3.3.5 Execution Placeholder: Operable?
19:10:21 [AllanJ]
JS: in the introduction, we say we want user to have control. so we need to take 'user has the option' out of the equation
19:10:39 [sharper]
JS: Operate
19:10:43 [sharper]
JA agrees
19:10:52 [AllanJ]
...then decide if the result is operable or perceivable
19:10:53 [sharper]
SH: Agrees
19:11:10 [sharper]
RESOLVED: 3.3.5 - stays as operable
19:14:14 [sharper]
JA: 3.3.4 based on examples seems to be operable
19:14:53 [sharper]
JA: Do we know if content will render? So operation seems key.
19:15:25 [sharper]
RESOLVED: 3.3.4 - stays as operable
19:17:07 [jeanne2]
action: JA to review 3.3.4 in guideline 4.9 to see whether it is feasible for the UA to control the rendering.
19:17:07 [trackbot]

+1
19:19:00 [sharper]
RESOLVED: 3.3.3 - stays as operable
19:19:47 [sharper]
JA: seems like a user override of the authors intention - maybe we need something saying 'user has the option to override...'
19:20:08 [sharper]
JS: Scattered over the doc - maybe need a user understanding document?
19:21:50 [sharper]
JA: MH has an action on this
19:22:08 [sharper]
MH: 3.3.8 Slow Multimedia is close to this
19:22:31 [jeanne2]
I think the individual global preferences are better kept in the context (e.g. keyboard) for better understanding. It may be useful to have a list of all the global options in one location, but not in the Guidelines.
19:23:59 [sharper]
JA: 3.3.1 Background Image Toggle: Thoughts
19:24:07 [sharper]

RESOLVED: 3.3.1 - stays as operable
19:25:25 [sharper]
JA: 3.3.F Paused Time-Based Media - how different from 3.3.9
19:26:54 [sharper]
MH: being able to explore the media on the screen (once paused) will enable rich content interaction
19:27:37 [sharper]
JA: Need a list separate and apart from while it's streaming by.
19:27:50 [sharper]
MH: All there in the DOM.
19:28:20 [sharper]
JA: Is this teased out in the document - maybe hinders accessibility with all the voicing of the descriptions going by
19:30:41 [sharper]
MH: Maybe the timeline needs elaboration? For instance with the DAISY plug in to Firevox you can navigate via the timeline of the voicing or the structure of the document.
19:34:24 [sharper]
JA: Do we need to come up with a whole new set of guidelines for this navigation?
19:34:47 [sharper]
