<AllanJ> The mission of the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (UAWG), part of the WAI Technical Activity, is to produce guidelines for the development of accessible user agents (e.g., browsers, media players, etc.) and their interoperability with assistive technology. A user agent is software that retrieves and renders Web content, including text, graphics, sounds, video, images, etc.

... Approved regardless, change first sentence if possible.

Discussion re PL's comments

GL: sounds like when it's not require the UA should still do repair - should be under 3.4.2 or some such based on the kind of rep[air
... could say supported by teh technology spec.
... wordsmithing on the fly

<Greg> Could replace "required" by "supported", but don't want to make it so broad that UA is required to craft longdesc for every image.

<AllanJ> add link to ERT to Resources for 3.4.1

GL: maybe too broad for Level A if required

<scribe> ACTION: Jeanne to 'add link to ERT to Resources for 3.4.1' [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/11-ua-minutes.html#action07]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-334 - 'add link to ERT to Resources for 3.4.1' [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2010-03-18].

<Greg> In discussion, we find that "repair text" is defined so it is only applicable where alt content is required (not just supported).

RESOLUTION: Lets wait for PL to elaborate

Proposal for 3.4.2 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/results#xq9

<kford> /me I need to step out for one second

General discussion as to the meaning of 'enabled elements'

GL: Scoping the possible miss-interpretations

<Greg> E.g. if there's a graphical button which is currently disabled, the user can still benefit from finding out info about it. That argues for not limiting this to enabled elements.

GL: proposes remove the 'for enabled elements'

<kford> /me apologies and I'm back

KP +1

KF +1

SH +1

JA: +1

JS +1

<scribe> ACTION: Jeanne to 'remove the word enabled from 3.4.2' [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/11-ua-minutes.html#action08]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-335 - 'remove the word enabled from 3.4.2' [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2010-03-18].

JA: could be generalized for all users. right click on an image to get a context menu, then choose properties to get available information about the image without have to find the image in the source code.

<AllanJ> add an example. A user wanting addional information on an image could right click on an image to get a context menu, then choose properties to get available information about the image without have to find the image in the source code.

<jeanne> ACTION: Jeanne to update 3.4.2 with the results from the survey http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/ from Kim, Greg and Jim. Jim has a complete example in the minutes. [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/11-ua-minutes.html#action09]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-336 - Update 3.4.2 with the results from the survey http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/ from Kim, Greg and Jim. Jim has a complete example in the minutes. [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2010-03-18].

RESOLUTION: Accept JA changes + KP edits + GL Minor Changes (all from survey) + remove enabled.

Proposal for 3.5.1 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/results#xq10

KP: Minor wording changes

GL: As written it doesn't make clear that these four classes must be highlighted in distinct ways. If, for example, a user agent highlighted selected text, visited links, and unvisited links identically, it would comply with the letter but not the intent of the criterion. Perhaps instead of "highlight" it could read "visually distinguish" or "highlight...so that each is uniquely distinguished, within the limits of the output technology". The last caveat is need

for cases such as pure text browsers, which may only have one or two methods of highlighting text. Add this discussion to the Intent section as well.

GL: Also, 3 minor changes

KP: should look at the document for highlight and visually distinguish

<Greg> "3.5.1 Highlighted items: The user has the option to highlight the following classes of information so that each is uniquely distinguished, within the limits of the output technology (Level A)"

<Greg> We may be able to leave off the "within the limits of the output technology" if we agree, for example, that a purely text browser can use characters like *, **, and _ to highlight ranges of text.

<AllanJ> proposed: 3.5.1 Highlighted items: The user has the option to highlight the following classes of information so that each is uniquely distinguished.

JA: Objections?

All: None.

<jeanne> ACTION: Jeanne to update document with above discussion of 3.5.1 and the editorial items from the Survey http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/results#xq10 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/11-ua-minutes.html#action10]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-337 - Update document with above discussion of 3.5.1 and the editorial items from the Survey http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20100302/results#xq10 [on Jeanne Spellman - due 2010-03-18].

RESOLUTION: return to 3.5.2 + other items from the survey.
