Steve F on ARIA mappings
15:18:12 [JF]
not much has happened in the past week
15:18:23 [JF]
have already provided a change proposal and a bug
15:18:38 [JF]
HTML chairs have requested bug be expedited

15:19:20 [oedipus]
s/scribenick: oedipius//

now that we have a bug, se should now have an agenda item to vote a resolution to advance the change proposal

spec text exists, but what is need is feedback and consensus around the change proposal
15:20:24 [JF]
SteveF asking about getting a poll around this
15:20:58 [oedipus]
i/Thanks to Greg/scribenick: JF

15:21:10 [JF]
can we bring this work to the group for next week?
15:21:21 [JF]
SteveF: what does this entail?
15:21:40 [JF]
Janina: should we run a survey on this?
15:21:45 [oedipus]
s/a thrad on changing/a thread on changing/
15:21:52 [JF]
SteveF: makes it a more formal 'support' from the TF
15:22:24 [JF]
hopefully people will read the proposal before voting - not yet had any response on the draft change propsal
15:22:49 [JF]
SteveF: suggests overall question: after reviewing the changes, do you support them?
15:23:05 [JF]
are there more than one question to be asked here?
15:23:53 [JF]
Rich: everything is in the proposal, (needs some minor edits)
15:24:13 [JF]
SteveF: we want people to review the text we choose to replace, based upon the proposal
15:24:45 [JF]
PaulC: not sure if a survey is the best forum for that question/decision
15:24:54 [oedipus]
strong plus 1 to CfC
15:24:56 [JF]
likely could happen via emails
15:25:06 [oedipus]
make TF members read the text before commenting
15:25:34 [JF]
Rich: reason for suggesting a poll is that if people have an issue with a certain section they could highlight
15:25:46 [JF]
Janina: this could be highly granular quickly
15:26:10 [JF]
SteveF: the main thrust is that the current starting point is whlely unsuitable in the current spec
15:26:24 [JF]
what we don't want to get into is a point-by-point comparrison
15:26:34 [JF]
but rather seeks an alternative starting point
15:26:44 [JF]
it goes to philosphy more than actual text
15:27:16 [oedipus]
regrets+ : Denis_Boudreau
15:27:31 [JF]
Do we support an approach that suggests that ARIA does not introduce a confromance issue
15:27:46 [JF]
Janina : lets keep it simple

the 1 or 2 others are media a11y

15:31:31 [JF]
what PF will be forwarding is a set of user requirements
15:31:35 [oedipus]

anyone have any thoughts on what work will entail? anyone see a reason why this cannot be completed by end of October?

SteveF post "rationale for role=presentation" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jul/0059.html

SteveF thinks however that ARIA-labeledby is not appropriate
15:43:03 [JF]

laura is still looking for other rationales as this is/was a request from the chairs
15:43:37 [oedipus]

correction: aria-label is under question, not labeledby

Greg: the text in the spec is not in line with discussion. believes that it needs to be naked attributes without the aria prefix
15:45:27 [JF]
JF: why?
15:45:54 [JF]
Greg: believes there are a number of aria properties should be non-prefixed in the spec
15:46:33 [oedipus]
JF: saying primary reason to remove prefix is ease-of-authoring? no matter what we call is secondary to functionality needed
15:46:54 [oedipus]
JF: have aria deployed today -- in effect, abandoning something trying to establish

JF: GJR saying change name of attribute -- but already have implementation into new name with aria- prefix
15:48:15 [oedipus]
JF: less author confusion with aria- prefix
15:49:03 [oedipus]
JF: get GJR's rationale, but flip side of coin is need to say "don't forget to do these things" and here is how
15:49:52 [oedipus]
JF: worried that opening a huge new can of worms -- aria- prefix allows us to advance them all forward -- don't want to go down a rathole
15:50:37 [oedipus]
JS: if make change, have to pull back rec and go with another one - could be politically problematic

What material changes with the name change?

Zakim, mute me

MikeSmithX should now be muted
15:51:38 [JF]
Greg: aria-* carries a weight with it. what does it mean to the average developer
15:52:03 [JF]
we need to ensure that things remain backward compatable
15:52:34 [JF]
if @alt is going to be deprecated or made obsolete then we need to ensure native attributes
15:53:03 [JF]
SteveF: nobody is suggesting to make ALT obsolte, but rather we want to provide additional means of achieving the end goal
15:53:19 [JF]
it's about increased choice, not change
15:54:24 [Zakim]
-[Microsoft]
15:54:34 [JF]
Greg: believes that the WG has been putting up barriers for ARIA adoption, and so wants things to be modular
15:55:15 [JF]
JaninaL if we send a rec forward, and then decide later that it is not correct, we lose cred
15:55:52 [JF]
Janina: this group voted out the ALT text issue a few weeks back
15:56:05 [oedipus]
GJR also doesn't want ARIA "frozen" at 1.0 in HTML5
15:56:12 [JF]
there was a rationale for labeled a few weeks back
15:56:28 [JF]
SteveF: Laura keeps asking for that rationale, and it has not come forward
15:58:05 [JF]
SteveF: it is more than just a name-change, it is about introducint something new to HTML5
15:58:40 [JF]
Greg: feels that ARIA is a cludge targeted at AT
15:59:03 [JF]
SteveF: user agents can be encouraged to provide equiv. functionality to user as well
15:59:41 [oedipus]
s/feels that ARIA is a cludge targeted at AT/feels that use of ARIA in HTML5 that is not native is a kludge
15:59:55 [JF]
