<trackbot> Meeting: HTML Accessibility Task Force Teleconference

<trackbot> Date: 15 June 2011

Paused Media: Updates? Browser Support?

We need bugs filed on browsers ...

Janina also discussed with ARIA meeting this week where the question of UI behavior was raised.

Also, there were several ARIA issues logged to track progress on this.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/458http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/457

<jfoliot> the describedby spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/states_and_properties#aria-describedby

<silvia> aria-label or aria-describedby is not sufficiently specified in the WAI-ARIA spec to include or exclude markup

JB: Concerned whether ARIA implementations are exposing CR problems.

ec: Defs are ambiguous so that's why we have different behavior in different browsers.

jf: I sfiling bugs against browsers premature?

ec: Unless we can point to where it says: "Behave as follows."

JS: ARIA wants to think this through end to end, especially the user experience with UI before moving to clarify specs

jb: Suggesting Geoff, Jim Allen, Kelly Ford, and Jean Spellman.

jf: Also suggesting Markku

sp: It's really the user experience, not the user agent.

js: Correct
... I will prepare quick issue summary to help bring our conversation invitees up to speed on this question.
... JS will invite the above.

Hierarchical Navigation: Progress Checkin

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Media_Navigation

sp: Not much by way of solutions, but attempts to describe the problem.
... Needs to take potential solutions to the list
... Would appreciate feedback, including use case, etc., to make sure it's all ok
... Prefers we do this correctly, rather than to a deadline
... Would like to avoid a poor spec just to make the deadline

jf: Concerned that chapters is a webvtt construct, yet some content will be ttml based

sp: chapters are a track construct, not webvtt

ec: agree with Silvia, see two aspects to this
... How to express the hierarchy in some context format -- not our issue here
... How to reflect that struct in html, and this is our problem

jf: Seems the struct is simple, is it that difficult to express to UA?

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/TextFormat_Mapping_to_Requirements#cn1 <- example of markup in TTML

ec: We have no say in how content specifies the hierarchy.
... Once we're given that, whatever it is, we need to be able to express that through the track mechanism.

jf: You're unsure of how to express this in the API?

ec: yes

jf: Having trouble grocking that

sp: Think of it as the ml is in an external file, or perhaps the video file, when it comes into the browser there's nothing in the DOM from thiis ml, it only goes to shadow dom
... So not as simple as adding a list into dom
... we need to find a way around that

jf: but why not?

sp: security, other concerns, of introducing additional struct into an existing page
... I'm also on shaky ground here, unsure of how to solve this

jf: So we're already adding into the dom via track ...

ec: But, the addition of the track is all that goes into dom, the remainder goes into shadow dom, so only visible to javascript

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#texttrackcue <- this is all we have available in the browser about the cues

ec: ua knows what's were, and can wire it all up ok, but that's not enough. the problem is exposing it all to js

sp: maybe we just haven't thought this through enough, maybe it is solvable

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/infrastructure.html#documentfragment http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#dom-texttrackcue-getcueashtml();

sp: it may be that nothing is missing

jb: how can we keep on schedule while we sort this out? uncomfortable with the notion that the deadline isn't a problem.

jf: find it hard to believe that a sophisticated js can't consume something as old and basic as <h> nested header concept
... would rather make the deadline with something proposed, just to keep this moving for this spec, rather than missing a rev

jb: so how do we find out for sure that we have all the pieces?

jf: asking whether increasing our mtgs will help?

sp: don't think it's a question of telecons or conversation

jb: Silvia, do you have a sense of what time is needed?

sp: I can do it by next week, but it's not just up to me. I need responses on list and on wiki. I can't do it alone.

js: Wonders whether we've complicated our problem by trying to avoid creating any new file format, or additional piece to create and manage hierarchical nav.

ec: No, not because our problem will be the same regardless of what provides us the data for where nav needs to take the user

Texted Descriptions: Requirements on A11y APIs

ec: Suggest we're overloading the term 'pause'
... If time flow stops because text/TTS exceeds video time, that's not pause that's a different kind of pause and we need another term

js: the TTS caused behaviior is a different pause

<silvia> it's called "paused for user interaction"

ec: already is to the ua

<silvia> http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#paused-for-user-interaction

jf: it needs to resync itself?

ec: no.
... spec already has 'pause for user interaction'

jf: a problem of understanding?

ec: yes

sp: yes
... Thankfully, this is something we don't need to solve for html, it's for the a11y apis

3GPP Request Followup http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2011May/0316.html

We're missing people for this.

jf: Can we take this conversation off this meeting? Don't believe it needs to be here.

jb: Yes, if people are agreeable

[no objection]

jf: I'll email him.
... also an action on me re a bug not sure what it is
