<richardschwerdtfe> janina: no status on this yet

<janina> Status: Unknown, don't know whether Judy followed up with Laura. We do need help on LC reviews.

<janina> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/13-text-minutes.html#action04

<richardschwerdtfe> janina: I believe this one is done

<janina> Status: Done. An email conversation has occured. At the moment no deadlines from HTML Chairs, but we're asked to get things in asap.

<scribe> scribeNick: richardschwerdtfe

RESOLUTION: close this action as completed.

<janina> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/13-text-minutes.html#action01

<janina> Status: Unknown

janina: this is on judy to contact andrew kirkpatrick to help with last call reviews on svg, img, and contenteditable for the spec.

<janina> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/13-text-minutes.html#action07

Rich: changing this would require ARIA to go back to last call

janina: in the UAIG, where we had alt="foo" and role-"presentation" we had a situation where it is NOT an error

Rich: the example had to do with entering data in a filed with aria-required

<janina> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2011Jun/0139.html

janina: I will find the example
... we close this defect and we no longer have a bug on role="presentation" and alt="foo"

http://www.w3.org/2011/06/14-pf-minutes.html#item12

see the example by James Nurthen

janina: we discussed this in the User Agent Implementation Guide for ARia

<img alt="required" role="presentation"><input aria-required="true">

jf: I still see a conflict
... this is an example where it is critical

rich: aria-required states to the at that it is required
... role="presentation" trumps alt in ARIA spec.

jf: I want a warning

janina: even though we showed a valid use case

jf: If we have alt="foo" and role="presentation" it is a warning. Do we do it in the accessibility test tools or in the HTML validation?

rich: I think this would be better placed in a web accessibility test tool vs. html validation.

jf: I agree

Leonie: I agree

Rich: How do we get this addressed in WCAG?

JF: good question. This may be a PF issue

janina: we need a technique

Rich: I am supportive of checking this in a test tool
... Michael you want an action to take this back to WCAG 2?

Michael: we need an action for someone to create a technique?

<scribe> ACTION: jfoliot to create a technique for the WCAG 2 working group [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/06/20-text-minutes.html#action04]

janina: the group should create a list of techniques that need to be created but not actually create them

michael: If you want to pull John into the working group that does this that is fine but from a WCAG working group perspective they do not care

jf: I will write this up in an email

<janina> http://www.w3.org/2011/06/13-text-minutes.html#action03

rich: I have not done this yet
... will do so however

Any updates from on-list discussion of longdesc counter-proposal

janina: per my action item last week I did post to the HTML list. We will be look at the aria-based proposal using ARIA for this
... this was from Jonas
... the proposal is that we leave "it" in and make it conforming?
... are they adopting the proposal from Laura?
... having all this work gone into enhancing longdesc people may not be willing to drop those changes in support of something that was available but obsolete

jf: these are not just enhancements but they are identifications of deficiencies
... these are things the browser could and should expose to non-impaired users
... from an authoring perspective nothing has changed. we are specifying what user agents should be doing
... I don't think that there is an appetite for obsolete but conforming

janina: I am not sure what the it is ...

jf: what do we benefit by making it conforming but obsolete

rich: obsolete states that there is a better replacement

jf: yes
... we need the ability of the end user to consume or not consume
... image maps, once you hit a region, you get the alt text
... there is not place in HTML that addresses the user's being able to consume or not consume
... ... the corporate logo
... I don't see it would garner more support now since we have garnered interest in supporting longdesc

janina: there is not steam behind Jonas proposal

rich: we fixed the issues they were concerned about and now they still don't want it
... put the proposal in and let them take their shot

janina: we rconfirm our support of the change proposal on longdesc

rich: when will the call for alternate proposals appear?

janina: already done. the deadline is Saturday June 5
... we will be pushing the chairs to move on this sooner rather than later

Status check on other text alternative re-open requests and change proposals: meta name=generator; role=presentation & alt;

jf: I had the Social Security CIO listing meeting at Stanford recently
... meta generator: I will get with Steve this week
... it is taking Leif's proposal to make sure it is cohesive

figcaption

janina: the validator could help us test for length
... mike smith was amenable to that

thx

janina: I will double check
... we are making progress and can discuss on Thursday
... any more on the alt decision

jf: no
... we are close to stopping the Monday calls

janina: good

Other business?

janina: what would be helpful in filing a bug would be to supply emails with sets of examples showing examples - such as for figcaption
... Jeff, judy said that you and she were looking at that
... can we put together 6 examples of figcaption that are acceptable and that are not

Jeff: sure
... I will talk to Judy about this

janina: Jeff, are you available on Wednesday for the media topic on the user experience when you come across 4-5 videos on the screeen and you have descriptions for each.

jeff: at 5:30 to 7?

jf: we can put you at the top of the agenda

Jeff: let me look into that tonight
