16:13:00 Ugh - just lost networking on my laptop, which is where skype is installed...
16:14:00 I'm working on it...
16:14:46 yes, please don't wait!
16:15:23 TOPIC: Techniques and mapping to guidelines
16:16:38 adam: no precise rule of thumb. The range technique seemed too all encompassing, but do agree that if have one attribute then one techqnique could cover a number of success criteria
16:17:05 +??P4
16:17:26 adam: the headers technqiue which have discussed often in WCAG. When we do have a consensus that there is one implementation. With headers there is a difference between the implementation.
16:17:28 zakim, P4 is Loretta
16:17:28 sorry, Loretta, I do not recognize a party named 'P4'
16:17:41 JN: I am the opposite
16:19:03 im gone for 4-5 minutes, sorry
16:19:30 marc: there are different situations to use it, but the technqiue is always the same, so maybe one simplified technique to apply to different success criteria.
16:19:41 marc: purpose is to describe whatever that element is
16:19:56 loretta: somewhat case by case
16:20:24 marc: if look at the label one in particualt
16:20:54 james: one major difference i am aware of is in support of label when labelling different things
16:21:03 back
16:21:04 -??P4
16:21:20 james: as far as I know some AT will or wont support using aria-label on certain elementsw
16:21:27 why is skype being so flaky!
16:23:10 james: concerned about muddying the waters by including too much in a single techqnique where there may be things like best practices, AT support etc that differ when using for different elements

16:23:53 Joshue108 has joined #html-techs-tf
16:25:24 +??P5
16:25:31 zakim, ??P5 is Joshue
16:25:31 +Joshue; got it
16:25:33 marc: if something has poor support but it is the intended purpose should we created techniques
16:25:50 zakim, mute me
16:25:50 Joshue should now be muted
16:26:26 -[IPcaller]
16:26:34 loretta: replacing the link text sounds confusing for a link
16:26:47 ,...and I have conducted some screenreader tests on the aria-labelledby for link purpose technique: http://www.3needs.org/en/testing/code/aria-labelledby-for-link-purpose.html Not sure whether that is worth discussing - it seems that aria-labelledby is poorly supported on non-form elements, as James (I believe) already noted in his comments.
16:26:48 james: doesn't it depend on what you are replacing it with
16:27:18 james: labelledby makes that easier as you can point to itelf and something elsde
16:28:25 marc: almost impossible to fail 2.4.4. This would allow the "more" link to refer to a header
16:28:43 loretta: the information would be different for sighted and non-sighted users
16:29:00 loretta: this is why links feel different from other things
16:29:09 loretta: a link should be some kind of text
16:29:28 loretta: this is why i'm having this reaction to folding link in with other objects
16:30:33 zakim, unmute me
16:30:33 Joshue should no longer be muted
16:30:51 loretta: If we create link techniques should we add this
16:31:46 joshue: image without an alt not a complete structure. Need to talk about some things sooner or later.
16:33:24 +??P1
16:33:38 zakim, who is on the call?
16:33:38 On the phone I see James_Nurthen, Marc_Johlic, [IPcaller.a], Joshue, ??P1

16:33:40 sorry, adam, I do not recognize a party named 'P1'

16:33:53 sorry, jamesn, I do not recognize a party named 'IPcaller'
16:33:58 zakim, IPcaller.a is Loretta
16:33:58 +Loretta; got it
16:35:01 marc: why i go back to the readmore scenario
16:40:41 loretta: could image we do one for links which includes the original link text
16:41:19 loretta: if the technqique is just to include aria-label then only need one technique
