... wanted to discuss Bug 21722 https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21722
... Ambiguous/incorrect wording regarding placeholder attribute of input elements
MS: here is the relevant section of the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-placeholder-attribute
CS: The placeholder attribute is included in the name calculation, at least in IE.
... name calculation happens at page load.
...could be a mapping guide problem.
JF: could be more of an issue for UAAG
MS: we will continue to follow and may want to add comments to this bug.
DM: I will create some tests to see check current implementations.
CS: AAPI has been busy with other things.
...haven't had a chance to get together.
JS: Media team has met.
...i will be sending out an email introducing JF and Dominic Mazzoni from Google regarding what to do with transcript. John can you send me those two URLs?
JF: I have some specific questions for Dominic regarding transcript and controls.
...hard to find a time for us to eat with strongest contributors living in Ireland and Austrailia
...can probably start around the 18th of July
MS: Looking back at my notes from this call I see that we decided Tuesdays or Thursdays at 6PM ET would be a good time for media sub-team meeting.
JF: I believe that is 11PM in Ireland and 8AM in Austrailia...
... can get an email thread going beforehand.
JS: one of the items we need to address is to process comments filed on media related bugs.
DM: i just put together some tests regarding placeholder text with JAWS 14 in IE and Firefox. If there is placeholder and no label it will read the value of the placeholder.
JF: we need to make sure the spec clarifies the intent of this attribute and how UA should implement it.
JS: this may not require any language change in this spec. perhaps in others, like UAAG and WCAG.
DM: works in NVDA as well.

JS: Please take a look at these and close any items that have already been addressed.
