- 17:12:39 [KimPatch]
- Jim: have we finished this?
- 17:13:12 [KimPatch]
- Jim: suggestion that synthesizers should switch voices automatically
- 17:14:14 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: we talked about it and Jan suggested to include in another SC, not sure if we did
- 17:14:29 [Jan]
- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013AprJun/0098.html
- 17:15:23 [KimPatch]
- Jan: does it clip automatically only in response to a Lang tag?
- 17:15:23 [Eric_Hansen_]
- Eric_Hansen_ has joined #ua
- 17:15:51 [KimPatch]
- Kelly: most screen readers today are responsive to the Lang tag
- 17:16:08 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: proposal is user has control of it so one step command that will allow you to switch languages
- 17:16:25 [KimPatch]
- Kelly: today either the user has no control or they can say turn off that language switching
- 17:17:04 [KimPatch]
- Greg: heuristics often fall down when page contains pieces of multiple languages. Doesn't recognize passages of a foreign language embedded in something else. That's the main case I can see were having manual control would be useful. I don't have enough knowledge to say whether it would be an appropriate AA setting or not
- 17:17:57 [KimPatch]
- Jim: proposal on the table to add a new SC 1.6.5, Yan said we might squeeze it into 1.6.1, but then we have whether it's the user or the system itself that switches it.
- 17:18:15 [KimPatch]
- Jim: does someone want to take it up or do we want to push it to next
- 17:18:34 [KimPatch]
- Greg: 161 is A, I don't see it as that critical
- 17:19:08 [KimPatch]
- Kelly: UAAG next – are we deficient without this
- 17:19:14 [KimPatch]
- Jim: I could go with next
- 17:19:56 [KimPatch]
- Jan: we don't put a ton of requirements on them, maybe we can just keep it, maybe we should remove the requirement about making it easy
- 17:20:19 [Jan]
- JR: Suggests this: 1.6.5 Synthesized Language: If synthesized speech is produced, the user can change the language (AA).
- 17:20:37 [KimPatch]
- Greg: I defer to the group – I wish we had some users who actually are more familiar with this thing – specifically in multilingual situations which I assume is where it would be most useful.
- 17:21:54 [KimPatch]
- Eric: W3C specs – try to be judicious about how much repair work they do – this is a manual repair issue – at least by following the specs involved it doesn't appear to be presented in the right language so it's a way of manually repairing the content, or its rendering. That would argue for not having it as a high priority and just being careful about including stuff that is sort of...
- 17:21:55 [KimPatch]
- ...repair work
- 17:23:03 [KimPatch]
- Greg: let's say I speak Swahili, no native support, but I can say use this module. If that breaks, given the manual override can I access that page that would be otherwise inaccessible
- 17:23:29 [KimPatch]
- Greg: my attempts to come up with an example where it might be justifiable that it would completely block access of the feature was not there
- 17:24:05 [Jan]
- JR: Again...in the style of 1.6.1: 1.6.5 Synthesized Language: If synthesized speech is produced, the user can change the language, when more than one language is available (AA).
- 17:24:07 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: I thought about that too which is why I didn't propose it as a level a I think it's more for people with multi-languages and also for writing as well. If you're composing an email – the ability to command French for the next sentence is pretty necessary in any multilingual world
- 17:25:05 [Jan]
- JR: Again...in the style of 1.6.1: 1.6.5 Synthesized Language: If synthesized speech is produced and more than one language is available, then the user can change the language. (AA)

- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2013AprJun/0121.html
- 17:31:47 [KimPatch]
- Greg: we need to be more explicit about not excluding – not limiting it to published
- 17:32:00 [KimPatch]
- Greg: almost comes off as examples as how it can be done rather than requiring that
- 17:32:23 [allanj]
- proposed: programmatically available
- 17:32:25 [allanj]
- Information that is encoded in a way that allows different software, including assistive technologies, to extract and present the information in different modalities. This means making use of platform accessibility services, APIs, and, in some cases, document object models (DOM). For web-based user interfaces, this means ensuring that the user agent can pass on the information (e.g., through...
- 17:32:27 [allanj]
- ...the use of ARIA).
- 17:33:18 [KimPatch]
- Greg: I didn't think that it came across as this is explicit as opposed to examples

For web-based user interfaces, this means ensuring that the user agent can pass on the information (e.g., through...
- 17:34:33 [jeanne]

- 17:34:36 [KimPatch]
- Jim: this is similar to the ATAG definition
- 17:34:49 [Jan]
- From WCAG2: programmatically determined (programmatically determinable)
- 17:34:51 [Jan]
- determined by software from author-supplied data provided in a way that different user agents, including assistive technologies, can extract and present this information to users in different modalities
- 17:34:52 [Jan]
- Example 1: Determined in a markup language from elements and attributes that are accessed directly by commonly available assistive technology.
- 17:34:54 [Jan]
- Example 2: Determined from technology-specific data structures in a non-markup language and exposed to assistive technology via an accessibility API that is supported by commonly available assistive technology.
- 17:34:56 [allanj]
- ATAG def - http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/ATAG20/#def-Programmatically-Determined
- 17:35:52 [KimPatch]
- Jan: seems okay, Jeannes change
- 17:36:39 [allanj]
- +1 jeanne's change
- 17:37:18 [KimPatch]
- Eric: use – is the use of the term present or extract and use. Is it about content that is going to be presented to users or if it's programmatically determinable, isn't it about any kind of information regardless of whether it's for presentation?
- 17:37:29 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: do we even need that – is this a just about extracting information
- 17:37:36 [KimPatch]
- Eric: in a way that can be used by other software
- 17:38:01 [KimPatch]
- Jan: in a way others can make use of it
- 17:38:43 [KimPatch]
- Eric: not sure it has to be that restrictive or not – maybe it does
- 17:39:06 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: are there other ways to be programmatically determined?
- 17:39:36 [jeanne]
- Information that is encoded in a way that allows different software, including assistive technologies, to extract and use the information in different modalities relying on platform accessibility services, APIs, or the document object models (DOM). For web-based user interfaces, this means ensuring that the user agent can pass on the information (e.g., through the use of ARIA).
- 17:40:00 [KimPatch]
- Eric: do we need programmatically available if we already have something like programmatically determinable? Is what were trying to get across the same idea as what WCAG calls programmatically determinable?
- 17:41:22 [KimPatch]
- Eric: on revision – do we need the phrase in different modalities – makes sense when we had the word present, but right now I don't know that we need in different modalities, it's just they are able to extract and use it
- 17:41:34 [jeanne]
- Information that is encoded in a way that allows different software, including assistive technologies, to extract and use the information relying on platform accessibility services, APIs, or the document object models (DOM). For web-based user interfaces, this means ensuring that the user agent can pass on the information (e.g., through the use of ARIA).
- 17:41:37 [Greg]
- I will defer to the group, but a developer could still argue that they comply because, for example, a screen reader can use published API to get the text and font sizes, and from that can infer the locations of headings. I'd prefer to use phrasing that incorporates "published, supported mechanisms", "explicit" and "unambiguous".
- 17:43:00 [allanj]
- Information that is encoded in a way that allows different software, including assistive technologies, to extract and use the information relying on published, supported mechanisms, such as, platform accessibility services, APIs, or the document object models (DOM). For web-based user interfaces, this means ensuring that the user agent can pass on the information (e.g., through the use of ARIA)
- 17:43:17 [KimPatch]
- Eric: no problem adding more of the kind of language that Greg mentions.
- 17:44:24 [Greg]
- The "published, supported" phrase was based on experience where developers would let assistive technology vendors use "undocumented, unsupported" API as a stop-gap measure, with the caveat that those mechanisms could be removed at any time, and customers inquiring could not get technical support because unsupported mechanisms were being used.
- 17:44:44 [KimPatch]
- Jim: any objections?
- 17:45:23 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: do we want to change it to programmatically determined instead of programmatically available
- 17:45:24 [KimPatch]
- Jan: keep available
- 17:45:26 [KimPatch]
- Jim: I like available
- 17:46:26 [KimPatch]
- Greg: the only thing missing from the latest definition was the unambiguous and/or not relying on heuristics, that kind of thing. So it would still allow one to pass if you exposed all the font information, therefore headers are implied but not explicit
- 17:46:55 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: I think we have it covered – we don't have infer anywhere in there
- 17:47:30 [KimPatch]
- Greg: we are required to expose the headers, but if we don't expose the headers in any way other than – screen reader would have to recognize that larger font is headers – does that pass
- 17:47:57 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: do you have an idea of what we could use to close that down?
- 17:48:24 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: we wouldn't be able to pass that as an implementation
- 17:48:49 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: I can add a sentence to the intent
- 17:49:22 [KimPatch]
- Greg: if you put something based on that paragraph for my email into the intent

- Jan: answering what does contained within the area mean – really are just areas of the screen, but it's not the most watertight definition
- 18:08:09 [KimPatch]
- Greg: would they were or would they not be – I couldn't figure it out from the test
- 18:08:52 [KimPatch]
- Jan: would what?
- 18:08:54 [KimPatch]
- Greg: would a script which modifies only a region – the HTML is not contained to that area, but its effect is contained so therefore does it count as executable content which would normally be contained to that area
- 18:09:07 [KimPatch]
- Jan: this is pointing to a hole in the SC really
- 18:09:30 [KimPatch]
- Jan: I'm good to start with the types of elements that are limits to those areas, of course those may be generated on-the-fly by a script though
- 18:09:44 [KimPatch]
- Jim: I'm concerned about this whole, is this something we need to patch in the SC or is it an edge case hole, or what
- 18:10:12 [KimPatch]
- Greg: I think it is something which would need to be not ambiguous
- 18:10:13 [KimPatch]
- Kelly, Jan agree
- 18:10:54 [KimPatch]
- Jim: this is talking about Java scripting
- 18:11:15 [KimPatch]
- Greg: it seems like it would need to be clarified in something normative, either in the SC or a note, not just implementing
- 18:11:43 [allanj]
- 2.11.2 Execution Placeholder:
- 18:11:44 [allanj]
- The user can render a placeholder instead of executable content that would normally be contained within an on-screen area (e.g. Applet, Flash), until explicit user request to execute. (Level A)
- 18:11:46 [allanj]
- 2.11.3 Execution Toggle:
- 18:11:47 [allanj]
- The user can turn on/off the execution of executable content that would not normally be contained within a particular area (e.g. Javascript). (Level A)
- 18:12:16 [KimPatch]
- Greg: better phrase for contained within a particular area?
- 18:12:56 [Greg]
- Intent of Success Criterion 2.11.2:
- 18:12:58 [Greg]
- Documents that do things automatically when loaded can delay, distract, or interfere with user's ability to continue with a task. Replacing executable content like embedded objects, applets and media with a placeholder tells the user what has been blocked and provides a mechanism (e.g. a play button) for unblocking when the user is ready.
- 18:12:59 [Greg]
- Note: A placeholder should take up the same space as the object it is replacing, so that the presentation doesn't need to be reflowed when the execution is started. However, people using mobile devices or screen enlargers, or those who have difficulty with scroll commands may benefit from having the option of a smaller placholder.
- 18:13:45 [KimPatch]
- Greg: you might have an applet which traps focus like flash or it might fear that it would display content that would trigger an epileptic seizure or start to make sound or whatever. So you want to be able to postpone the execution of it until you decide what do you really want to do it or not.
- 18:13:57 [KimPatch]
- Greg: the other one is you can have a placeholder in the document
- 18:14:22 [KimPatch]
- Jan: why not change the SC to be before launching put a placeholder there and have the user have to
- 18:14:42 [KimPatch]
- Jim: instead of executable content we would say a plug-in, separate from JavaScript
- 18:15:00 [KimPatch]
- Jan: may be more easily testable way to break the two up
- 18:15:47 [KimPatch]
- Greg: sounds promising. In some cases a video is rendered by a nested user agent, in some cases rendered natively. Unless the placeholder says the user wouldn't know the difference. It wouldn't apply to the latter case – is that handled by some other SC?
- 18:15:59 [KimPatch]
- Jan: yes, there's a video SC.
- 18:17:53 [Eric_Hansen_]
- Eric has returned
- 18:18:01 [KimPatch]
- Kim: this is a case where you would one test for several SC's?
- 18:18:27 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: problems with that
- 18:18:29 [KimPatch]
- Jan: later on you could write another layers that combines them
- 18:20:01 [KimPatch]
- Jim: summary says it nicely
- 18:20:10 [Jan]

- zakim, agenda?
- 18:23:31 [Zakim]
- I see 1 item remaining on the agenda:
- 18:23:32 [Zakim]
- 5. writing tests - while doing comments - write test as we address comments for specific SCs [from allanj]
- 18:23:47 [KimPatch]
- Greg: the no script extension for Firefox where you turn off a script on a play-by-play basis is much more useful than doing it globally
- 18:25:23 [KimPatch]
- Greg: JavaScript is what 2.11.3 is there for – Media
- 18:25:24 [KimPatch]
- Jim: media is 2.11.1
- 18:25:50 [KimPatch]
- Greg: the word media in 2.11.3 means they are overlapping?
- 18:26:02 [allanj]
- http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/#gl-speech-config
- 18:26:21 [KimPatch]
- Greg: looking at June 7 edition
- 18:26:48 [KimPatch]
- Greg: difference between the June 7 editor's draft and the version used for the comments document – which is the current one?
- 18:27:23 [KimPatch]
- Greg: When I built the spreadsheet use the latest published draft
- 18:27:25 [KimPatch]
- Jeanne: because that's what people commented on
- 18:27:44 [Greg]
- This is the version from the 7 June editor's draft: 2.11.3 Execution Toggle: The user can turn on/off the execution of dynamic or executable content (e.g. Javascript, canvas, media). (Level A)
- 18:28:02 [KimPatch]
- Kelly: as we are evaluating a comment we should check that against the latest editor's draft
- 18:28:15 [Greg]
- This is the version from the latest published draft and comments document:
- 18:28:17 [Greg]
- 2.11.3 Execution Toggle: The user can turn on/off the execution of executable content that would not normally be contained within a particular area (e.g. Javascript). (Level A)
- 18:28:52 [KimPatch]
- Greg: the differences in the parenthetical list of examples – we took out canvas and media, which would obsolete my comment
- 18:30:13 [Zakim]
- -Kim_Patch
- 18:30:46 [Greg]
- Actually we *added* "canvas, media" to the parenthetical list of examples since the last public draft.
