18:18:35 [KimPatch]
Greg: I don't think the word programmatically belongs in the SC, but if we keep it it does make sense to mention it in the intent

Wayne: why do we need the programmatically,
18:22:57 [AndroUser]
AndroUser has joined #ua
18:23:37 [KimPatch]
Greg: everything is going to have to be exposed programmatically -- a label would be exposed as text programmatically, but to simulate a keystroke it has two understand the relationship -- that that is a direct key for a certain control. That's covered by another sc., not sure if it has to be in this sc.
18:24:06 [Greg]
Note that the portion of the SC about programmatic access is redundant to 4.1.6 Expose Accessible Properties, (j) direct keyboard commands.
18:24:25 [AndroUser]
Zakim, AndroUser is jallan
18:24:25 [Zakim]
sorry, AndroUser, I do not recognize a party named 'AndroUser'
18:24:29 [KimPatch]
Greg:if we leave the thing about programmatic access here, we should put a cross-reference to that
18:24:30 [Greg]
If we keep the programmatic access here, we should cross reference to 4.1.6.j.
18:25:29 [KimPatch]
Wayne: I think this is good enough
18:25:35 [KimPatch]
Kelly: any objections
18:25:40 [KimPatch]
no objections
18:25:51 [Greg]
Either way, the cross reference should be include whether we keep or remove the programmatic aspect of the SC.

"In its default configuration the user agent helps prevent seizures by not flashing..."
18:30:50 [KimPatch]
Wayne: to avoid seizures, the user may configure the way so that the flashing is below 2% or does not flash at all

Jean: the default rather than the user can configure
18:31:18 [KimPatch]
Greg: in the default configuration...
18:32:02 [KimPatch]
Mark: what's flashing, the entire screen for some element within the UI
18:32:40 [mhakkinen]
The user can avoid potential seizures with a default browser configuration that prevents the browser user interface and rendered content from flashing more than three times a second above a luminescence or color threshold (2.10.1), or does not flash at all (2.10.2).
18:33:22 [KimPatch]
Greg: if it's not the default it would be more the user can avoid -- emphasize the default configuration over the user can
18:33:53 [Greg]
"To help users avoid seizures, the default browser configuration prevents..."
18:34:12 [jeanne]
In its default configuration the user agent helps prevent seizures with a default browser configuration that prevents the browser user interface and rendered content from flashing more than three times a second above a luminescence or color threshold (2.10.1), or does not flash at all (2.10.2).

Topic: 5.3.2 implement accessibility features intent
18:58:01 [Greg]
Most operating systems have conventions and expectations that aid accessibility, such as keyboard behavior, support of an accessibility API, user interface design, and other standards related to accessibility. The intent of this success criteria is to ensure that user agents comply with the basic accessibility requirements of the platform in use.
18:58:42 [AndroUser]
Or sensible guidelines
19:01:16 [KimPatch]
Greg: possible overlap. 531 is about content, 532 contains the word content as well, so 531 used a subset that the moment. If we want to keep the content and the platform separate we delete the words content and from 532 and keep 531.
19:02:34 [Greg]
If we delete "content and" from 5.3.2 then we would delete the two intent paragraphs from 5.3.1.
19:03:38 [Greg]
And we'll delete references to HTML and ARIA from 5.3.2.
19:03:49 [jeanne]
5.3.2 Implement Accessibility Features of platform:
19:03:49 [jeanne]
Implement and cite in the conformance claim the accessibility features of platform technology specifications. Accessibility features are those that are either (Level A) :
19:04:09 [jeanne]
The user should be able to easily discover detailed information about the user agent's adherence to accessibility standards, platform standards such as MSAA or JAA, and third-party standards such as ISO 9241-171, and should be able to do so without installing and testing the accessibility features.

19:07:54 [Greg]
Most content specs include features important to users with disabilities, and users may find it difficult or impossible to use a product that fails to support those features. Users should be able to easily discover detailed information about the user agent’s adherence to accessibility standards, including those related to content such as HTML and WAI-ARIA, and should be able to do so without...

...installing and testing the accessibility features. This will allow them to make informed decisions about whether or not to they will be able to use, and therefore should install, a new product or version of that product.
19:08:13 [Greg]
Jordy uses a web site which uses WAI-ARIA to identify the functions of custom controls. If he used a web browser that didn't support this aspect of WAI-ARIA and expose that information to assistive technology, the web site would be unusable with his web browser. Therefore Jordy needs to choose a web browser that he knows fully supports WAI-ARIA, and he determines this by reading product...

19:21:39 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: add to the intent -- this is not preclude having it display in multiple...
19:21:46 [Greg]
How about add Note: User agents are encouraged to also provide the ability to display alternate content with, rather than replacing, the primary content.

Greg: Brother places where it would be just as important to display both alternative and primary as important as just one of the two. If we think that is as important are two options are either to put in a second SC about applying them with or to change the wording of this SC to say the user has a choice
19:25:55 [KimPatch]
Jim: nobody can do this yet, nobody can render them as both so we should leave it as an either or
19:26:03 [KimPatch]
Greg: you can do it using a style sheet
19:26:16 [KimPatch]
Kelly: just a note
19:26:31 [KimPatch]
Greg: if it is as important it should be in the SC
19:26:47 [KimPatch]
Wayne: what is the purpose
19:27:04 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: what is the advantage of displaying both
19:27:20 [KimPatch]
Greg: having the image and description of the image because if you have some vision -- today you have to hide the image to see the description
19:27:34 [KimPatch]
Kelly: example of why you want both -- what happens if there's an alternate title on object
19:27:42 [KimPatch]
Kelly: there could be times when you want to render both
19:29:05 [KimPatch]
Kelly: W3C/wai homepage, the alt text
19:29:23 [KimPatch]
Jim: you have to go through machinations -- it would be good if were just upon the screen so you could see all the titles
19:29:34 [KimPatch]
Kelly: I would be good with putting a note for expediency
19:30:08 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: right now it's in the main document as a note after 1.1.2
19:30:17 [AllanJ]

Topic: 1.2.1 repair missing alternatives
19:43:04 [KimPatch]
Kelly: comment this sounds like what people curse about Microsoft word. It's an option
19:43:31 [KimPatch]
Jim, Kelly seems okay to me
19:44:06 [jeanne]
W3C doesn't have a quorum policy. We represent the views of the group. I think we should not address issues that we know are contentious to a particular member, but otherwise, we can go ahead.

Greg: we are not saying which repair text -- what is expected -- if there are no captions for video with this require use voice-recognition to create captions -- why would it not?
19:45:38 [Greg]
I'm concerned that the text of SC 1.2.1 requires user agents to create repair text for *all* missing alternative content. Wouldn't that include using speech recognition to generate captions for audio? It's Level A.
19:45:42 [KimPatch]
Jim: what is repair text?
19:45:45 [jeanne]
SC: - 1.2.1 Repair Missing Alternatives:
19:45:45 [jeanne]
The user can specify whether or not the user agent should generate and render repair text (e.g. file name) when it recognizes that the author has not provided alternative content. (Level A)
19:46:00 [jeanne]
Example - Bintu is deaf and relies on captions to replace audio. A video does not have captions. Bintu selects a caption button, and is informed that no captions exist. The player then analyzes the video soundtrack and provides speech to text translation served as captions. Note: this is an advanced example, not a requirement.
19:46:19 [AllanJ]
repair content, repair text
19:46:21 [AllanJ]
Content generated by the user agent to correct an error condition. "Repair text" refers to the text portion of repair content. Error conditions that may lead to the generation of repair content include:
19:46:23 [AllanJ]
Erroneous or incomplete content (e.g. ill-formed markup, invalid markup, or missing alternative content that is required by format specification);
19:46:25 [AllanJ]
Missing resources for handling or rendering content (e.g. the user agent lacks a font family to display some characters, or the user agent does not implement a particular scripting language).
19:46:26 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: the added that note as an advanced example not a requirement specifically for that
19:46:26 [AllanJ]
UAAG 2.0 does not require user agents to include repair content in the document object. Repair content inserted in the document object should conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 [WCAG10]. For more information about repair techniques for Web content and software, refer to "Techniques for Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 1.0" [ATAG10-TECHS].
19:46:51 [KimPatch]
Greg: fine as an example but the SC doesn't exclude things like that
19:47:37 [KimPatch]
Greg :so it says that the don't have to be document object, but it still seems to say that it has to generate captions for audio unless we do something to scope that otherwise or clarify in the definition of repair text
19:48:06 [KimPatch]
Jim: definition of repair text --
19:48:35 [KimPatch]
Greg: we should probably clarify that in the intent document to point out that because the definition for repair text is only for things required by the specification it would not require for example generating transcripts of audio using speech recognition
19:49:20 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: the definition of repair text is only for things required... I will add that to the intent
19:49:52 [KimPatch]
Greg: do we also want to make a note about feasibility -- like are there cases whereit's simply not feasible for the user agent to generate a meaningful repair text
19:50:25 [KimPatch]
Jim: because this repair text was originally set up for what screen readers do if there's no, tries to do a title of there's no title it snags the filename as a last resort so the user has something.
19:51:00 [KimPatch]
Greg: do we have a list of alternative content -- which ones are required by the specification and therefore which would be required
19:51:02 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: atag

19:53:01 [KimPatch]
Greg: do they know which one of those are required in terms of repair text?
19:53:42 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: no, this is what requires -- not used as repair text, this is what authoring tools are responsible for

Greg: I like to see these things be in the document so we don't lose track of them
19:57:02 [AllanJ]
Note: there are some instances when user agents will not be able to generate repair text. Such as when a video does not have captions. we do not expect the UA to use voice recognition to generate captions.
19:58:06 [KimPatch]
Jeanne:we can put it at the end of the SC
19:59:10 [AllanJ]
Greg as serious issues ith this. what is requiared alternative text and what is to be used to replace it.
19:59:12 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: one of ways to resolve it is to eliminate the entire success criteria.this is a very HTML oriented success criteria
19:59:37 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: do we really needed, given the ambiguity and how could be misapplied to new technology
19:59:45 [KimPatch]
Greg: I'm unsure whether it's needed
20:00:23 [KimPatch]
Greg: you could in your list of questions put that -- that we are considering deleting it and see if people protest
20:00:25 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: or put it on the agenda for tomorrow
20:00:35 [AllanJ]
I could live with deleting it
20:01:30 [KimPatch]
Kelly: I don't think anybody does this today
20:01:56 [KimPatch]
Jim: I would be okay with deleting it
20:02:24 [KimPatch]

Topic: 1.3.1 highlighted items
20:06:11 [KimPatch]
Greg: to do the recommendation you have to require something -- you could say at least these -- in the intent, but it's pretty implied anyway it's not an exclusive list, it is a minimum list
20:06:18 [KimPatch]
Jim: I think this is okay
20:07:13 [KimPatch]
Greg: for now, will note that we will keep it, ignore the comment
20:07:34 [Greg]
Maybe clearer to change "presence of alternative content" to "elements with alternative content".
20:07:38 [KimPatch]
Greg: change to elements with alternative content

Jim: auditory you get a bing when you move over something?
20:11:23 [Greg]
Would these be easier to read if we moved the parenthetical examples to the end of each, rather their middles?
20:12:17 [Greg]
E.g. change "enabled controls that take input (e.g. push buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, and text input fields, but not groupings or static text and images) regardless of whether they are read-write or read-only" to "enabled controls that take input, regardless of whether they are read-write or read-only (e.g. push buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, and text input fields, but not...
20:12:19 [Greg]
...groupings or static text and images)"?

20:19:18 [KimPatch]
Kelly: we did resolve it -- keyboard interface. We need to replace in some portions of document
20:20:53 [KimPatch]
Jeanne: we have to do a level review -- the number of a's that aren't done now -- go through and skim the level a's to see which browsers actually do.
20:21:04 [KimPatch]
