Google Instant http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2010OctDec/0023.html

<Greg> I had two thoughts on Google Instant: (a) User needs to be able to disable it, along with all other non-user-requested changes (side effects); (b) When the UA begins and ends any update, how is the user notified through the UI and AT notified programmatically?

Do we have this kind of Auto Suggest List in the UI covered

<Greg> Interesting to consider the idea of an "auto-suggested" attribute on content, so that AT can special-case how it's handled. (Auto-suggested text would presumably also be selected, but is a special case of selected text.)

JA: How should this indicate something new has appeared?

<Greg> That would be a new attribute for acessibility API for communicating content to assistive technology.

GL: don't we already say users should turn off non-user initiated side effects...

JA: isn't this turn off unwanted messages

<Greg> So in many ways this is really just a special case of the general situation where content or UI changes and the UA has to expose this programmatically through accessibility API so that the AT can decide whether and how to notify the user, highlight the changes, etc.

JA: This would be covered by a change of state discussed in 2.1.2

MH: I'd say that it would fail 2.1.2

JA: Is it covered or do we need something new?

<Greg> From the user's perspective, as it should be conveyed through standard-control equivalences to assistive technology, the input box is in fact a drop-down combo-box, and when the user starts typing the drop-down list portion is changed from hidden to displayed. It should not matter that it's implemented as a table or what, as long as the appropriate equivalence is exposed.

All: Covered in 2.1.2

RESOLUTION: Google Instant http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2010OctDec/0023.html covered in 2.1.2

<Greg> When using a platform accessibility API such as MSAA, one can represent a complex set of controls as equivalent to a single control such as a drop-down combobox, including noting state changes such as the drop-down portion becoming hidden or visible, changes to focus and selection within the drop-down list portion, etc. Does ARIA allow exposing at this complex, functional level as well?

JA: Some of this should go in the IER for 2.2

GL: Will ask this to the PF list as they do ARIA.

<JAllan> ACTION: jallan to add google instant information to the IER for 2.1.2 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/21-ua-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-459 - Add google instant information to the IER for 2.1.2 [on Jim Allan - due 2010-10-28].

SH: If its configurable on/off then it conforms to our guidelines.

<JAllan> 2.1.2 Name, Role, State, Value, Description: For all user interface components including user interface, rendered content, generated content, and alternative content, make available the name, role, state, value, and description via a platform accessibility architecture.

<Greg> Something to look into: do we need to change 2.1 to explicitly discuss notifying AT about element creation and destruction, as well as state changes that are covered by 2.1.6, etc.

Media Review followup - possible additions to UAAG http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2010OctDec/0002.html

JA: JS and KF where present

JS: PF has a media subgroup - made list of requirements in video accessibility in HTML5 - sent to us for comments

<JAllan> see http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/index.php?title=Media_Accessibility_Checklist for the draft

JS: extensive comments and responses - in the UAAG guidelines and if we covered it
... Also a comp list of everything we wanted to consider
... Lets take these one at a time

<JAllan> DV-11 Support the simultaneous playback of both the described and non-described audio tracks so that one may be directed at separate outputs (e.g., a speaker and headphones).

<JAllan> possible AAA

JA: we need to take a look at the 3 or 4 things we may need a success criteria for - and re-evaluate

Discussion re CC and the terms used such as 'gapless cues'

GL: seems like the UA should just implement them appropriately based on the spec if they exist on it

MH: if they are rendered by JScript then it is WCAG if it is browser based in the case of say HTML5 then it may be us

<Greg> Questioned why CC-2 is a + while CC-3 is a N/A--seems they're very parallel.

EVD 2 and 3

JA: have to do with extended descriptions - lets you pause and restart - if not part of the HTML5 spec then UA wont be done natively - if QT is a n agent and say smile allows it then it should do it

MH: is this an author req or is it UA responsibility
... is really about ua allows overrides for smile pausing video based on extend descriptions

JR: turning it on and off is really what we're talking about here

JA: we have 4.9.8 re track manipulation - this would cover it, would't it

<Greg> Perhaps this is a special case of a general rule that the user should be able to override any author settings that would interrupt the normal playing of the primary track, rather than having a success criteria about this for extended video descriptions.

<JAllan> ACTION: hakkinen and jallan to discuss EVD2 & 3 - add to IER to 4.9 SC or create new SC, also review CC2,3,4 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/21-ua-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-460 - And jallan to discuss EVD2 & 3 - add to IER to 4.9 SC or create new SC, also review CC2,3,4 [on Markku Hakkinen - due 2010-10-28].

November F2F -assigning sections, review outstanding issues/actions needs, emails, pseudo-actions, etc

JA: When we say something's done we indicate this and don't touch it again

<JAllan> http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2010/ED-UAAG20-20101018/

JA: new edits marked in the new draft in bright red - some things didn't get action items - but need to be done
... can we assign sections over the next few weeks to review emails and minutes to see if anything fell of the radar and problems of us getting them done
... items not formalised - and need to be

JS: we can do this at the F2F or before...
... Save time if things that we have been involved in it would help to know if resolved

<JAllan> ACTION: jallan to group issues to be dealt with by the group [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/10/21-ua-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-461 - Group issues to be dealt with by the group [on Jim Allan - due 2010-10-28].
